My sister Sarah E. Litton was married to one John Litton in 1834. On the 18th day of April 1838 my mother Elizabeth Standifer joined by my brothers James Standifer, William Standifer, myself and my brother-in-law John Litton conveyed the North half of the League of Land, granted to my mother by the Govrnment to one Michael Young for services rendered in securing and fixing up the title papers to the land, as fully appears from Deeds Records, a Bastrop County, Texas.

In 1838 soon after the conveyance of the North half of the league to Michael Young as above state, my mother Elizabeth Standifer died intestate and left surviving her as her sole surviving heirs four children viz: James Standifer, William Standifer, myself and my sister Sarah E. Litton, whose husband, John Litton was then living. The south half of the league granted to my mother Elizabeth Standifer descended by inheritance to me and my two brothers and sister unencumbered on the death of our mother and in the fall of 1838, Wm. Standifer, John Standifer, myself and sister Sarah E. Litton, joined by her husband John Litton got together and agreed to have the South half of the league surveyed and cut up in four equal parts and each one of the four heirs was by the agreement to have alloted to him or her one of the four subdivisions and receive the same as his or her share and interest in this particular inheritance. By and in pursuance of this agreement made and entered into by and between myself, James Standifer, William Standifer and my sister Sarah E. Litton, who was joined by her husband John Litton, we employed as surveyor, one, Wilbarger to survey the half league and cut it up into four tracts of 554 acres each as fully set forth in map and plat of said half league hereto attached and marked "Exhibit A" for identification. By agreement and mutual consent of all interested parties I was alloted and accepted tract No. 1 or the subdivision and adjoining Michael Young's half league on the South, as my part of the land and in full satisfaction of my interest in this inheritance. My sister, Mrs. S. E. Litton was alloted and she and her husband both accepted tract No. 2 on the subdivision adjoining my tract on the South in full satisfation of my sisters interest in this inheritance, as fully set out on the accompanying map or plat of the half league. My brother James Standifer was alloted and accepted tract No. 3 on the subdivision adjoining my sister on the South as his share of the land full satisfaction of all his interest in this inheritance. My brother Wm. Standifer was alloted and accepted tract No. 4 on the subdivision adjoining the James Standifer tract on the South as his share of the inheritance and in full satisfaction of his share in this league of land. We were all satisified with this partition and each and every one of us took possession of the particular tract or parcel of land, set apart to each heir in and by this division, and my sister Sarah E. Litton and her husband John Litton from and after the year 1838 always paid taxes on subdivision No 2 and they, their heirs and assigns have claimed and oned and held peacible adverse possession of the same since 1838.

In 1856 my brother in law John Litton died and left surviving him as his sole surviving heirs, my sister Sarah E. Litton and six children vis: J. L. Litton, John T. Litton, J. H. Litton, Wm. Litton, Jennie Litton. and L. A. Litton. In 1893, my sister Sarah E. Litton died intestate and left as her sole survivor heirs her six children: J. L. Litton, John T. Litton, J. H. Litton, Wm. Litton, Jennie Litton and L. A. Litton. In 1890 L. A. Litton died intestate and left surviving him as his sole surviving heirs, Salina Litton, his wife, and three children viz: Ruth Litton, Leona Litton, and Lee H. Litton
