ABSTRACTS OF DOCUMENTS, 1831
----------------------------
FROM THE ESTATE OF JONATHAN L. YATES, DECEASED

[Note: many of these were on small pieces of paper; all were handwritten,
original documents; it appears that no one has gone through the folder
since the documents were originally recorded; at some point, there was a
fire at the Courthouse, although current employees knew nothing of it; the
folders' edges were sooty, although the pages inside were clean, evidence
of past smoke damage]
