At a Court Amelia Co. 25th April 1771.

This Indenture was acknowledged by Joseph White and ordered to be recorded and Elizabeth White wife of said Joseph White personally appeared in Court and was privately examined and voluntarily relinguished her Right of Dower in Lands and Premises conveyed by said Indenture. Test‑‑‑John Pride D. Cl.

The witnesses to the above deed, Moses Hurt, Junr., Absalom Hurt and Zacheus Hurt, were brothers of Elizabeth Hurt White.

To my mine, with the above additional data, it is inescapable to conclude that Joseph White was the husband of Elizabeth Hurt White, daughter of Moses Hurt, Sr., rather than John White, as I have it in my original record number 79. Oscar H. Hurt 216 Buena Vista Memphis 12, Tenn.
