Transcription Notes:
The numbers at the bottom for total acreage are hard to read. Some of the letters at the beginning of the names are questionable as I am just starting and not used to the single cursive letters yet. Otherwise, fairly straightforward but please review for any clarifications. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-06-11 07:34:58
