Compiler's note: This quit claim deed seems to be part of the legalities
that Thomas and Nancy Drake Yates under went prior to moving to Mason Co.,
IL.  This document helps set the time of their departure --  their next
child, Rachel Nell, my great-great grandmother, was born eleven months
later in June 1845; therefore, they moved between August 1844 and June
1845, probably not too soon after this quit claim was recorded.
