Deed Book A, 1869-1873
Santa Rosa Co, Florida
Page 263

All years are clearly written 1870.  Am assuming that the original document 
was possibly signed 17 Dec 1869.  The document written above this one on the 
same page is also recorded in 21 Sep 1870.

Checking the 1870 Santa Rosa Co, FL census I find the following:
