EXECUTED IN PRESENCE OF-
A. Gallman
S.J. Thigpen

Transcription Notes:
S.J. Thigpen is listed right below the name of Robert McGowan/McGowen on the 1870 US Census in Hinds Co., MS. McGowen is spelled with an "e" here, but with an "a" on the 1860 Slave Schedule showing how many slaves he owned. I think McGowan is the most accepted spelling.
