	Braswell, Louisa, 1900 estate file: Petition for Partition, W.H. 
Lancaster and wife, Elizabeth Lancaster, Mary D. Williams, Maggie 
Williams, J.R. Braswell, as next friend and in behalf of his children, 
Mary Braswell, Wright Braswell, (Henry) Braswell, and Lizzie Braswell, 
Exparte; Mary D. Williams, Maggie Williams and Elizabeth Lancaster are 
sisters; Mary Braswell, Wright Braswell, (Heuy) Braswell and Lizzie 
Braswell are the infant children of their sister, Louisa, who 
intermarried with J.R. Braswell and died, leaving the said children; 
sisters and children of Louisa are tenants in common of a 27 acre tract 
of land adjoining the lands of John Lancaster, W.H. Lancaster, O.B. 
Proctor, being a tract which belonged to W.M. Williams and one other 
tract whereon Mary D. Williams and Maggie Williams now live, known as 
the home place where their father, James W. Williams lived and died in 
# 14 TWP adjoining the lands of Mary E. Barnes, Winnie Braswell, D.D. 
Moore and others, containing 58 aces; interest of said co-tenants are 
as follows: in 27 acres tract, Mary D. Williams, Maggie Williams and 
Elizabeth Lancaster are entitled to 1/4 interest each, children of 
Louisa Braswell (May Braswell, Wright Braswell, Heuy Braswell & Lizzie 
Braswell) are entitled to the other 1/4 interest; in the 58 acre tract, 
Mary D. Williams and Maggie Williams are entitled to 1/3 interest each 
and REMAINDER is to be divided as follows: Mary D. Williams, Maggie 
Williams and Elizabeth Lancaster are entitled to 1/4 interest each and 
children of Louisa Braswell (May Braswell, Wright Braswell, Heuy 
Braswell & Lizzie Braswell) are entitled to the other 1/4 interest; the 
two tracts are in separate tracts, not adjoining and because of small 
amount of land and number of co-tenants is so large it is in their best 
interest to sale land and divide proceeds; J.W. Proctor was appointed 
commissioner to sale land, 13 March 1900; at a sale held at courthouse 
on 2 May 1900, Mary D. Williams and Maggie Williams bought both tracts, 
paying $55 for the 27 acres tract and $300 for the 58 acre tract.
