Silas M. Pennington
Georgia, Coweta County
By virtue of an Order of the Court of ordinary of said county to me directed
to make distribution of the Estate, the same being lands of Silas M. Pennington,
late of said county, in hands of W.T. Neill, administrator; among his lawful
distributees Ida E. Pennington and Frances E. Odom, we proceeded in the
following manner this 26th day of September 1873 to execute said order after
first being sworn by each other.
The distributees were found to be two and of course the estate which consisted
of the
East half lot of land number 230 in the first District of said county was to be
divided as
near as possible into two equal parts. We procured the services of the
county Surveyor and had the Said East half of lot of land No. 230 divided into
two equal parts by a line running East and West through the middle of said half
lot.
The north half of said half lot being occupied at the time of this distribution
by
one of the distributees, Mrs. Francis E. Odom, we assigned that to her but then
having the improvements on it, we considered it to be worth one hundred & fifty
dollars more than the South half. Therefore in giving the South half of
said
land to Ida E. Pennington we required Mrs. Frances E. Odom to pay to W. T.
Neill, the
Guardian of Ida E. Pennington, Seventy five dollars.
