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 555 acres, a figure 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.
