Grace - the middle name Newell WALTON Pate came from land records in Itawamba Co, MS -- Certificate #18004 To all to whom these presents --etc Whereas, NEWELL WALTON PATE of Itawamba County, Mississippi has deposited in the General Land Office -- a certificate of registration --- at Pontotoc ---full payment made by NEWELL WALTON PATE --- NW/4 Sec 21, T7, R10 --- purchased by said NEWELL WALTON PATE -- Do give and grant unto the said NEWELL WALTON PATE-- and would you believe I can't find the last page giving the date???? I think it must be dated 4 Jan 1845, as I see another list showing this date for a land patent for him in Itawamba Co, MS.
