    3. This from TSLA microfilm, RG50, Roll 26, p 552 (near the very end of the roll). West Tennessee First District ------------------------------------ By Virtue of an Entry No. 3857 dated September 2nd. 1809 founded on a Military Warrant No. 3913 for 640 Acres I have surveyed for Edmund League assignee of Joshua Hadley of William Winewrights heirs Seventy acres of land lying in Warren County on the head waters of Holmes Creek a branch of the Caney fork river Beginning on a Cheery tree & white oak running thence East one hundred and twenty poles to a Chestnut and white oak thence South ninty three & half poles to a Post Oak thence West one hundred and twenty poles to a black Jack saplin, thence North Ninety three & half poles to the beginning. December 14th 1810 John Boon } S.C.C. Patrick MacEachern D.S. Tavener Maclin } Retd. March 12th 1811 ************************* Comments: 1.) I would place the tract north of Smithville in DeKalb county. 2.) Edmund League probably purchased the rights to seventy acres from Joshua Hadley. 3.) Joshua Hadley may have been a heir of William Winewright *or* he may have purchased the warrant. 4.) S.C.C. = Sworn Chain Carrier(s) 5.) D.S. = Deputy Surveyor 6.) Sidebar on survey says: "Plat &c. taken out July 19th 1811 by Joshua Hadly." 7.) Winewright may have been a misspelling of Wainwright. 8.) West Tennessee later became Middle Tennessee.
