Mollie A. Haynes Sells 213⅓ Acres to George Menefee (More of Area C)
The earlier sale of his inherited land by Amos C. Haynes was not done in isolation. Rather, at the same time, his sister, Mollie A. Haynes, now age 15, and with permission from her mother, also agreed to sell her one-third share (of area C) to George Menefee. So in a deed recorded in Book Q, page 591, and dated December 10, 1892, Mollie A. and her mother, Annie C., sold their one-third interest in the 640 acre tract owned jointly by Annie and her three children to George Menefee for $666.66. They also gave up their interest in the other two-thirds of the land.
The deed is confusing. It states that Mollie A. (and Annie C.) were selling 640 acres to Menefee, whereas they were actually selling only Mollie’s one-third, or 213⅓ acres, although they were giving up their interest in all 640 acres. The description was of the full 640 acres.
The deed also states: “(And the said Annie C. Haynes, as the natural guardian of the said Mollie A. Haynes, hereby declares that this sale of the above described land is necessary in order to support, maintain, and educate the said Mollie A. Haynes, this being the only property or estate of said Mollie A. Haynes available for her support and education.)”
