"Homestead & Dower", has been assigned to said Widow out of what is known as the "Home Farm" and also including what is known as the 50 Tract on "Entry" in the "Homestead and Dower." 4. At the time of his death S. H. SARRETT, dec'd owned three separate Tracts of land as follows: All of these lands are in the 7th Civil District of Sevier County, Tenn. 4.1. A 50 acre tract known as the "Entry" and bounded by ATCHLEY on the East; ATCHLEY on the West; N. A. ATCHLEY on the North; and ROBERT PARKER on the South, and is worth about $500. 4.2. What is known as the "Creek Farm" containing over 200 acres and adjoins TYSON the East; MAPLES on the West; HUFFAKER on the North, and ANDES on South, and worth about $2,000. 4.3. What is known as the "Home Farm" on the French Broad River, containing about 125 acres and adjoins land of HENDERSON on the East; KYKER on the West; FRENCH BROAD RIVER on the North, and ATCHLEY on the South, and this Farm is worth about $5,000. 5. Arriving to the situation of the land, the number of Heirs or owners and the unequal distribution of water and timber on the lands, it would be to the manifest interest and advantage of the owners that the lands be sold for partition among the present owners. 6. The present owners of the lands are as follows: (#03.) 2nd Son: J. CROCKETT SARRETT, 1/8 (#06.) 5th Son: HUGH SARRETT, 1/8 <---My GrandFather...prsjr(#07.) 2nd Dau: BETTIE SARRETT, 1/8 (#08.) 6th Son: ENOCH SARRETT, 1/8 (#10.) 4th Dau: DORA SARRETT, 1/8 (#11.) 7th Son: GEORGE SARRETT, 1/8 Interest in all three of the tracts above mentioned and PETER W. SARRETT owns 2/8 interest in the "Home Place" and 50 acre "Entry" and ROBERT A. LOWE owns 2/8 interest in the Creek Farm by purchase from PETER W. SARRETT. 7. It would be better for all parties interested to sell the land in the following manner: 7.1. "Creek Farm" as one parcel. 7.2. The "River Farm", not included in "Homestead and Dower" as another parcel. 7.3. The "Homestead and Dower" tract embracing the two parcels of "Homestead & Dower" or "Home Farm" and the "Entry" as "Homestead and Dower" in another parcel. 8.

Said Report, being un-excepted to, is in all respects
confirmed. From which it appears to the Court that S. H. SARRETT
died Intestate in Sevier County, Tenn., about the 13th day of May
1890, leaving those named above in said report as his Widow and
Heirs at laws. That he was owner in fee of the lands mentioned
and described in said report which upon his death descended to
said Heirs subject only to the Widows Homestead and Dower, which
includes part of the River or House Tract and the 50 Acre Tract,
that said land is owned now as Tenants in Common, those named and
so stated in Paragraph six (6) in the above report. It further appears from said Report that it will be manifestly to the interest and for the benefit of all owners of said land, that the same be sold for division instead of divided in kind among the owners. All of which the Court doth adjudge and decree. It is therefore Ordered and Decreed that all of said lands be sold for partition among the owners, and that it be sold in parcels as follows: First: the Creek Farm; Second: that part of the River or Home Farm, not included in the "Homestead and Dower", assigned to the Widow; and Third: the Homestead and Dower Tracts, subject to the Widows Life Estate therein.

The Master will make his report to the next term of this Court. Wheat, Oats and Clover Rents will go to the present owners, Corn Rents will go to the Purchaser or Purchaser. |
