Note, the record copy from which this transcript was created reports Thomas was to inherit a parcel of "forty acres of upland"; however, the summary in Records and Files reports "fourteen acres of upland." See Records and Files 5:255, Hathi Trust. The land he inherited was where (or near) the place Thomas then lived.
