Know all men by these presents that for and in consideration of the one dollar ($1) to me in hand paid by Thomas S. Haynes, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and for the further consideration of the natural love and affection which I have and bear to the said Thomas S. Haynes, who is my grandson, being the child of my deceased son, Arthur Haynes, I, Celia A. Haynes, of the said county and state, have given, granted, bargained, and sold, and by these presents do give, grant, bargain and sell, and convey unto the said Thomas S. Haynes, also of said county and state, three hundred (300) acres of land in said county and state on the west side of the Lavaca River, part of the 5½ leagues originally granted to Ramon Musquiz and part also of a tract of 960 acres conveyed to me by Amos Haynes on the 21st day of August, 1882, the deed to which is of record on page 403 Book K deed records of said county. The said three hundred acres are bounded as follows:
Beginning at a point three hundred (300) yards due north of the house in which I now reside;
Thence running to the bank of the Lavaca River on a line parallel to the upper line of the aforesaid 960 acre tract;
Thence down the Lavaca River with its meanders to such a point that a line run thence parallel with the first line herein toward the back line of said 960 acre tract shall be 900 yards in perpendicular distance from said first mentioned line;
Thence continuing said line from the last mentioned point on the river toward said back line to such a point that a line run thence at right angles with said last mentioned line 900 yards to corner;
And thence parallel with third (first?) line herein to place of beginning shall contain 300 acres as aforesaid and shall also include in said boundaries all the houses and other improvements on the place where I now reside.
To have and to hold the above described and conveyed premises, together with all and singular the rights and improvements thereto in anywise belonging unto the said Thomas S. Haynes, his heirs and assigns forever, and I do hereby bind myself, my heirs, executors, and administrators to warrant and forever defend all and singular the said above described premises unto the said Thomas S. Haynes, his heirs and assigns against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same by, through, or under me.
To make the description of the above described and conveyed tract of land more definite, it is here stated that the said tract is intended to be nine hundred yards wide throughout its whole extent except at its eastern end where the meanders of the river may make its upper or lower line longer than the other.
Witness my hand this 24th day of May A.D. 1889
