Background:
<\/strong>In December 1844 Joshua Cozart sold the parcel he bought from Samuel Lancaster the month before. Same amount: $386 for 429 acres. The grantee, buyer, was Joshua’s son Gilbert. This tract adjoined Gilbert’s land. In writing the deed there were changes in citing owners of adjoining lands. The January 1845 registration may have corrected mistakes made in November 1844.        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua was about 68 years old; Gilbert about 39.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This land was in Madison County, 10th<\/sup> Surveyor’s District, 9th Civil District. In 1871 this area became Crockett County, Civil District 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The land in this deed was measured in poles and acres:
        1 pole = 16 1\/2 feet
        1 mile = 320 poles = 5,280 feet
        1 acre = 160 square poles = 43,560 square feet
        1 square pole = 272 1\/4 feet
        640 acres = 1 square mile<\/p>\n\n\n\n
