CHANLDER, T.Z. – Deed of Trust 1873

25. October 2019 · Comments Off on CHANLDER, T.Z. – Deed of Trust 1873 · Categories: Deed · Tags: ,

Deed of Trust Hardeman Co., TN.

Know all men by these present that I T.Z. Chanler have this day bargained and sold and do hereby transfer and convey to Jessy Ragan for the sum of one dollar to me in hand paid and the other conditions.

Herein after mentions a certain gray horse about eleven years old known as the horse got from John Taylor to have and to hold same to the said Jessy Ragan his heirs and assigns. I do covenant with said Ragan that I am lawfully owner of the horse and have a good right to convey the title to the same. I do further bind myself, my heirs and representatives to warrant and power defend the title to the same from the lawful claims of all persons whatever.

But this deed is made for the following purpose and no other, that is to say I am indebted to the said Jessy Ragan in the following manner. The said Ragan has entered his self as security in my notes for the amount of one hundred and twenty dollars, to be paid to John Taylor due the 1st day of January 1874. And also he has stood for an account to Huddleston and being desirous to make sure the payment of the same now if I should pay the said debts at the time specified in this due this obligation is null and void. But if I should not then the said Nathaniel Ragon as Trustee after giving twenty days notice at three public places in the neighborhood shall expose the said horse to se3ll to the highest bidder for cash and power to pay said debts and costs. And if there be any over to pay the same over to the said Chanler in the mean time, the said Chanler is to have the possession and use of said horse until the said debts become due. Or the said Ragan is released from said liability in testimony I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 26 day of June 1873.
