     ==========================================
     NOTES ON ABOVE DEED:
     Do not know why this deed is made in FORSYTH County. The land is
     situate in CHEROKEE as are the trustees of the church.
     Do not know how Mr Brooks came into possession of the land. It was
     deeded by Eli McConnell to the trustees of Big Springs Camp Ground
     in 1854 and to my knowledge used for the purpose of public worship
     as either a Camp Ground or Church since that date.
