| Notes |
- Recorded 19.June.1848; deed dated 13.May.1848 for 38 acres from Sally Devin to James Oakes. Lying on both sides of the Banister river and adjacent to Fowler.
- Abstact:
Contains 38 acres lying on both sides of Banister Creek.
Beginning at a stake formerly a Stump: - S 17 E -- 67 poles to a Birch.
- S 85 W -- 21 poles crossing Banister to a White Oak.
- N 75 W -- 124 poles to pointers.
- N -- 62 poles to a pointer White Oak.
- N 73 E with Benjamin Fo[w]lers line to a walnut.
- S 30.5 E -- 30.75 poles a new line to a forked spanish oak.
- N 37.75 E -- 25 poles crossing Banister to the Beginning.
- This deed sells a portion of land that Sarah Devin inherited from her father, Willaim Devin, Sr. By his will (Deed & Will Book 11 page 243-244), Sarah could dispose of only a half of the inheritance if she did not have any legal children. This tract is apparantly part of that half. It is just north of her parcel and was part of the land William Devin, Sr. acquired from William Leaks (east side of the Banister) and from a land grant recorded by Grant Book 39:463-464 (west side of Banister). This plat has errors. The plat, as written, does not close by a wide margin and has over 70 acres. Even after adjusting for the most obvious error, it still has almost 48 acres.
Transcriber's Comments:
a) The beginning stake could be the "old corner stump in James B. Gatewood's line" per Deed 49:276.
b) Per Deed 49:276, Line #5 should be South 73 degrees East. Oakes is going the opposite direction from Fowler's plot.

My appologies in advance for mistakes in interpreting the hand writing. Text in square brackets [ ] indicate my best guess (and may not make sense). Empty square brackets indicate words I could not read at all.
