This tract is a part of what is known as the Rual
Jarrcll Farm. It sctms that the first surtcy affecting
this tract was made by Rual Jarrell, Oliver P. Macs and
Alexander Jarrcll May 2, 1860, and recorded in Floyd County
Survey Eook D, page 257 for 258 acres. Rual Jarrell
made other surVeys on Haws Branch which might cover
portions of this tract;
See K. F; Hall Tract for ali st of these surveys. I find
no deed of partition between Rual Jarrell and the other
Jarrells and Oliver P. M ce, or any record of sales from
them to Rual Jarrell, but it seems that Rual Jarrell
became the owner of this tract in Some w y..
By deed dated February 26", 1866, and rccorded in Dead
Eook "H", page 49, Rual Jarrell Conveyed this tract and
adjoining lands to A. J. Landreth.

 By deed dated December 9", 1874, and recorded in Deed Book
"I", page 460; A. J. Landreth conveyed this tract and
adjoining lands to Reuben Tipton and Sill Hall. It seems '
that thereafter Sill Hall and‘Reuben Tipton made a divisiai
of the lands made by this deed whereby Reuben Tipton took
this tract and Sill Hall Took the lands below this tract.
By deed dated August 23, 1880, recorded in Deed Book "K",
page 575, Reuben Tipton and wife, Dorcus, conveyed this
tract to William Hall, but before he executed this deed
Reuben Tipton made 157 acre survey dated February 9", 187L
and recorded in Floyd County Survey Book "E", page 94,
covering a portion of this tract.

I find no dead of conveyance from William Hall and have
been informed that he died, intestate, the owner of this
tract and left surviving him two children, Lilly and Jarry
William Hall also owned other lands on main Prater Creek-
and I am advised that Lilly and Jerry made parole partition
of the land descended from their father, Lilly Hall

getting this tract and Jerry Hall getting the land on main
Prater Creek.

It seems that William Hall left a daughter named Victorf‘.
I find no deed to or from her and we do not connect with
her for her interest in this tract.

Information should be secured from the country in regard

to this. Lilly Hall married J. D. Osborn and by deed

dated January 4th, 1897, recorded in Deed Book "W", page
269, Lilly and J. D. Osborn conveyed this tract to Joseph
E. Maynard.

By deed dated January 22, 1899, and recorded in Deed Book
31, page 316, Joseph E. Maynard and wife, Nancy, conveyed
this tract to Vaney F. Akers.

By deed dated February 12, 1901, and recorded ih Deed Book
"Y", page 417, Vaney F. Akers and husband, Noah Akers, con
veyed the coal, mineral, property rights and privileges in
this tract to W; S. Harkins. -

IiL‘EIi 1: JOE? PELLS‘I‘CI? 54 AC; 513243le dated—
Recorded in "Surv y Book", page 116, Floyd County.
This surbey embraces a part of this tract along
both sides of main Prater Creek.
30TH: I do not find this surv2y listed a s patented
in our patent index book. I think the patent issued
to John Graham, to whom other surheys on Prater Creek
made by Preston were patented. Hone of the Preston
surveys Were ever patented in his name.
I find no record conveyance of this survey by Graham.
It seems that it Was sold to Susannah Fitzgerald, who
thereafter made the next hereinafter itemized survey.

 ITEM 2: Cont'd.
This survey covers land, a portion of this tract,
adjoining the Preston survey and on Hawes Branch.
NOTE: On January 22nd, 1822, Susannah Fitzgerald made
another survey which probably covers a part of this
tract, patented October 10, 1825, recorded in Patent
Book "M", page 74, Kentucky Land Office.
I find no recorded sale from Susannah Fitzgerald convey-
ing these suryeys insofar as they defect this tract.
She died and left several heirs, one of whom was Vashti,
Wife of Michael Crum, Sr. These heirs did uhite in a
deed to Ezra Justice conveying a part of théir mothers
land on Prater Creek above Hewes Branch, Deed Book "D",
page 28.
It is apparent, hOWever, that Michael Crum, 8r., acquir-
ed in some way title to the above mentioned surveys inso-
far as they affect this tract, for it is a well known
ﬁact and traditional in the locality that this was the
home farm of Michael Crum, Sr., on whic“ he lived for
many years, and on which he reared his fanily.
ITEM 3: MICHAEL CRUZ SOACRE SURVEY SEPTEMBER 5, 1825,
Recorded in Survey Book page 585, Floyd County.
