My transcription of the records of the Allison Land Deal has been posted to the web site: http://www.tngenweb.org/bedford/ You can go directly to the records at this URL: http://www.tngenweb.org/bedford/Allison_Land_Deal.htm or find the under "Land Records" on the main page. I thank Charles Reeves for posting them These records describe a series of transactions in 1823 that cleared the title to many properties in the Three Forks area of Bedford County, Tennessee. They contain descriptions of the property involved, listing the name of the owner(s), the number of acres, the watercourse on whose drainage the land was located, and the names of the owners of abutting property. This information is very useful for understanding who the neighbors of a given family were, and therefore in the search for hard to find information such as the maiden names of wives. Here is a list of all the names, spelled as found in the records: Acres James L. Armstrong John Arnold Edward Ashley William Ashley Widow Baker John B. Bates Benjamin Belt T. H. Bernard William Blanton Shaybe Booth Stephen Booth John Bowers Brown Puree Bullin James Burkes William Burnham Freeman Burrow Philip Burrow Edward Cage John Carigan Joseph Carny William Carothers Captain Clay Samuel Clay Nicholas Cobb Jacob Coble Ballard Coldwell J.
