Murray County, Georgia, Deed Book U, pages 472-473:
John E. Headrick, of Bradley County, Tennessee, sells 38 acres of Land Lot 57 in the Tenth District, 3rd Section, of Murray County, Georgia, to a J. F. Gilbert, of Murray County, Georgia, for $80. [Murray Co., GA, Deed Book U, page 472-473; witnessed by Cas Dunn; and by D.C. Dunn, NP & JP; recorded 2 Feb. 1905.]
Very soon after the original sale, on 24 Jan. 1905, J. F. Gilbert resells the land to A. S. Dunn, of Murray County, Georgia, for $200. [Murray Co., Georgia, Deed Book U, page 473; witnessed by John Caylor; and by N.H. Henry, J.P; recorded 2 Feb 1905.]
[Possibly, some time went by between the two sales, but "officially," John E. Headrick sold the land on 17 January 1905, and J. F. Gilbert resold it on 24 January 1905 to A.S. Dunn, of Murray County.
The land lot is part of the old Jacob and Polly Headrick homestead. It was part of some land lots that had been subdivided in 1866 between Polly Headrick and her known offspring by Jacob Headrick (by then deceased). John must have received his share from his father, William, who had received a share in 1866 (other transactions occurred in 1885 and later, involving Jacob's offspring).
It could be that J. F. Gilbert turned a quick profit; it could also be that the deed actually changed hands much earlier without being filed, and so had to go through some red tape when J. F. Gilbert went to resell it. I believe A.S. Dunn would be Andrew Sherman Dunn.
