Linda: Do you have this information: The value of the lands of Amos Sr. at his death between $1000.00 to $2000.00. Amos Jr paid Rebecca $40.00 for her widow's share of the 150 acre homeplace, and he paid $60.00 for Amy's share in 1858 and again $75.00 to the widow. It was also stated that another son of Amos Sr., Elijah and his wife Ann Blanton, lived on a portion of the property on the north side of the Yadkin River above Fish Dam Creek. A deed of 5 Mar 1834 indicates that Amos Sr. had purchased an additional 100 acre tract from Conrad Eller. This land was on the south side of the Yadkin. Since Amos Jr. had also died by the time of the 1881 suit, two of his sons, Thomas J. and Joel L., were subpoened to testify in Amy's behalf.
