White County Tennessee County Court Clerk's Vault Loose Papers File Folder: Jacob L. Pirtle Estate State of Tennessee | County Court White County | June Term 1876 The undersigned being unconnected with the parties either by affinity or consanguinity, and entirely disinterested, having been summoned and duly sworn as a Jury to allot and set off to Jane Pirtle her Homestead and Dower out of the real estate of Jacob L. Pirtle her deceased husband, after having duly considered and fully understood the whole matter, do hereby assign to the said Jane Pirtle for her Homestead and Dower, the following described Land with the erections and improvements thereon. To wit: A tract of Land in the County of White on the Waters of Cedar Creek containing by estimation one hundred and thirty eight acres and bounded as follows: Beginning on a Rock in the line of a tract formerly owned by Robert Cook running Eastwardly to the ford of the Branch or Creek, Thence up said Creek with its meanders passing the head of the Spring to a white oak at the mouth of a hollow. Thence up said hollow a direct line made by John Cantrell and Smith Cantrell heirs and representatives of Aaron Cantrell Deceased to a stake outside of the fence on the East side of said Smith Cantrell's part of said farm. Thence Northwardly a new chopped line to a post oak. Thence Eastwardly to a black oak standing on the line of Richard Crowder. Thence South with said Crowder's line to a stake Hugh Cook's corner. Thence West with said Cook's line to a small white oak sapling his North West corner at the mouth of a hollow. Thence up said hollow with a marked line towards the Cypress swamp to a small black oak sapling in George Pirtle's line. Thence West with said line to a post oak in the East boundary line of the Robert Cook tract. Thence North with said line 70 poles to the Beginning. This in our opinions does not constitute one thousand Dollars worth of the real estate and one third of the remainder but the Widow being present stated that the above described tract would make her support and that was all she wanted. Given under our hands the 8th day of June AD 1876. M. F. O'Connor Surv Ephraim Winstead James A. Knowles Transcribed By: James R. Blanks 114 Somerset Lane Tullahoma, TN 37388 July 30, 2001
