Reading notes: The abstract gives some bounds by direction (north, south and so on); the neighbors are listed here without them. The published abstract also gives 120 and 7.5 acres, figures not assigned to any one tract here.

Names, places and measures are given as the published abstract writes them. This record has not been checked against the deed image.
