"........Being the same land heretofore recovered in the Supreme Court of
Tennessee at Nashville, by the heirs of John BOYD, Senior, dec'd - your

undivided & was purchased by him directly and indirectly from the
following children and heirs at law of said John BOYD, Senior, Dec'd - to
wit - Elijah BOYD, John BOYD, Junior, Solomon KERR and his wife Adeline -
Green SCONTS and his wife Matilda, and Miles BOYD and one-half of the
interest of the said Wiley BOYD - for ll of which your orator will
exhibit his deeds, upon the final hearing if necessary - And your orator
represents that the remainder, amounting to 3 1/2 ninths - now belong to
the said Wiley, Carter A. (VARTER?), the Said John Huckaby and wife - and
to Susan BOYD the widow of said John BOYD, Senior, dec'd ---- All of
whom, except the said Wiley, reside in parts unknown to your orator --
