Note: transcribed by D.K. Pritchett on 23 June 2016, from document (copy) of handwritten manuscript, from Deed Book X, page 578. I tried to follow exact spelling and syntax, but punctuation is not always clear. The original has dots for periods, commas, and stray marks.

Genealogy Note: The grantee would be William Houston Dunn, son of Joseph Perry Dunn. This information is not contained in the deed; he is just listed as W.H. Dunn.

Transcription Notes:

Transcribed on 17 December 2015 by D.K. Pritchett, from a hand-written copy of the deed as recorded in original superior court records of Murray County, Georgia. 

* "Dum" appears as an extra word here, probably intended as "Dunn," and is unnecessary since the surname is again added after "W.H."

** This word probably should be "described," but does appear to be "elisebeth," and could be an instance of the original clerk misreading a deed instrument.
