     M. G. SURRATT  [McGRIEFS SURRATT]  to CHARLIE SURRATT

     State of Tennessee, McNairy County.  Know all men by these presents,
     that I, M. G. SURRATT, have this day bargained and sold to CHARLIE

     pointrs, then North 63 poles to a stake in the center of the Purdy
     and Savannah Road, then West with said road 134 poles to the

     My Son CHARLIE SURRATT is to pay me five barrels of corn and ten
     dollars in money each year during my lifetime.  And failure to
     comply with this condition is to make this conveyance void.

     seized of said land and have a good right to convey the same and
     that it is unencumbered in any way.  And I bind myself and heirs to
     warrant and forever defend the title of the same to the said CHARLIE
     SURRATT and his heirs forever against the lawful claims of all
     persons  Witness my signature this 15 day of April 1896.
