Good morning Jerald, Thanks for the compliment about the ROOTWALKER website. It is a great website but all of the credit for it goes to Vanessa Slea, owner of both the ROOTWALKER website and this mail list. The "Hickman County Deed Book B, 1811 - 1813" is the only deed book from Hickman County, Tennessee, that we have in the ROOTWALKER library. We are constantly adding new books to our growing library, and hope to have more land records in the future. ***** In the "Hickman County Deed Book B" there is an entry for Mr. Claybourne BROWN. This name is also spelled "Claburn" in the same document. The front of the document where the signatures are spells the name as Claburn but a notation on the back of the document spells it as Clabourne. This deed is for land on Hurricane Creek and was registered on July 14, 1813. The transaction transferring ownership of this land actually took place on November 6, 1812, and was between James BRACKEN of Sumner County, Tennessee, and Mr. William BROWN of Humphreys County, Tennessee. This tract of land included 150 acres and sold to Mr. BROWN for $175.00. The Hurricane Creek that this land is on is a tributary to the Duck River. This land was part of a tract of land belonging to Mr. James BRACKEN that originally included 333 acres. The people that signed this document were Mr. James BRACKEN, Mr. Claburn BROWN and Mr. Kemp CRAWLEY, who signed by his mark. On the back of this document is a notation that this deed was proven in open court in April 1813 by the oaths of Mr. Claybourne BROWN and Mr. Kemp CRAWLEY, and was also signed by Mr. William STONE, Clerk and Mr. Robert ESTES, D.C. ***** We hope this information is helpful to you in your research. Is there anyone else I can look up in this book for you? Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. God Bless America!
