Thanks, Helen, for posting the Deed Book A information. I thought I'd give information about one of the deeds listed: > p. 225 4 Aug 1823: Thomas Maxwell to Henry Gother, Franklin Co, AL 52 A., > being part of two surveys originally granted Robert McDowell & Samuel M. > Burnett; by them deed to George A. Brock; from Brock to Maxwell...on Sweeten > Creek, waters of Battle Creek in Sweeten Cove, adj. Robert Beene, Jr., Samuel > McBee's corner,, Hornbeam's corner, his son, John Maxwell's corner. Wit by > Odibiah Beene and Robert McDowell. Ack by Thomas Maxwell. Thomas MAXWELL is my 4-great-grandfather. He lived in Sweeten's Cove and was one of the charter members of the Primitive Baptist Church there. Henry GOTCHER (not GOTHER) was an elder in the same church, as was Samuel MCBEE (my 3-great-grandfather). In the 1820s Thomas MAXWELL sold his land in Sweeten's Cove and moved over near Ketner's Mill, I suppose to live near his daughter who had md. David KETNER. He died there in 1831. I'm including, below, an outline chart showing the children of Thomas and Mary MAXWELL.
