Additional Comments:
This land is the land sold to my great- great grandfather James Thomas “Tom” 
Baggett by Jonas Pope, when Baggett returned from Civil War, the land has been 
in my family since Baggetts original purchase, via his daughter (Della Baggett 
Futrell) whom married my Great grandad CT Futrell, and then my grandparents- 
Andrew Marnch Futrell and wife Edna Terry Futrell lived here their lives and 
begot my mother Jean Ann Futrell and her brother Anthony M “Andy”  Futrell---
generally speaking the property is located at 36°21’23.33”N & 77°11’24.19” W 
about 2 miles from Woodland towards Murfreesboro highway 258 on left, the 
original acreage is not known as this deed above does not make mention but 
about 200 acres is likely amount also Baggett sold, and left some to other 
family members as the farm is smaller just over 100 acres at the time of this 
writing late spring 2016
