This land extended to the center of the main channel of Soap Creek, said land consisting of 34.95 acres and including appurtenances. Page 273 of I assume Bk. 11, as in 1860 Belfield Ferguson sells this and some other land he had. The price of his sold land was $400.00, although it contained more acreage than is shown in this tract, the reason apparently is the appurtenances shown in this deed, and these are not shown in the 1860 deed.
