This is 1818. The first deed for old John that I have is about 1829. The page is missing in Rutherford County records so I think that this info is the same land that he sold in 1839. He owned about 150 acres. His neighbors were to the best of my knowledge, Erasmus Keys, widow Jordan (John R. married a Jordan)(David Jordan witnessed this sale), Benjamin Morgan , Smith Wilson and someone with last name of Robbs.

Really does give you a good perspective on how the folks back there lived. Mr. Keas must have been fairly well-to-do if he owned a slave. Noticed an absence of Bottoms purchasing any of his things. Keep me supplied with all the great deeds and documents. I really do appreciate all the work you have gone through to find the information and to transcribe them. Mary
