A deed of conveyance of date the 29th October 1845 from Haley Dunavant to Abraham
Dunavant of a certain tract or parcel of land lying and in Dyer County and State of Tennessee

purpose therein contained in testimony whereof I Gordentia Wait Clerk of the said probate
court hereby set my hand and affixed the seal of my office at office in Holly Springs the 29th
day of October A. D. 1845

This deed is from the Dyer County Clerks office, Book E page 260. The microfilm of the
deed index was not clear and it may have been Book F as I gave both letters when I wrote.
It came to me in typed form, not hand written, and done on a typewriter with some bad keys.
I believe I have transcribed it accurately . I don't know what the "&c" means but that is
what is on the document and not an error in my typing. I would love to know the
relationship of Haley and Abraham if anyone who reads this knows.
