Would someone explain what this document below is telling me? Is she selling this land or just getting it? Also, on others I have seen the "Entry Classification: Sale-Cash Entries". Does this mean buying, or selling the land? Your help will be appreciated.

hi Alverne, I am from Camden, and there are a few notes I can tell you of this. I called home and spoke to Camden (Ouachita County) office, and the land description herein is not in the "now" county. I do remember some past research, but not the date at the moment, when this used to be part of other counties--- 1. Union, and 2. Calhoun.....I'm checking on the plat now... As far as the Entry terms, the land office said we were correct to think that this is probably description of the person who has acquired the land, and such recording about the mineral rights , etc., would be such. A sale would most likely show the names of both owner and buyer in the doc. I looked up in the Camden library in the last couple years, and found a land owner William Pate, and a short history descrip. He md. and I think his property that now is OUA CO, was then Calhoun, but I'll have to check that.......anyway, Is Emily part of his family? I'll let you know anything I get info on if you'd like. deborah ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alverne J.

She would be getting the land. If she is your ancestor, I would suggest obtaining the Land Entry Case File for this claim. The homestead files can have lots of information in them.
