follows:



We the undersigned commissioners being householders and freeholders and

unconnected by affinity or consanguinity to the parties in interest having been

appointed by the county Court of Haywood County, Tenn., at its Sept., term 1916,

to partition the estate of MOLLIE E. HILL wife of JOHN H. HILL and allot same to

her several heirs, after being duly sworn and going upon and viewing and

examining said estate and partitioning same according to value to the best of

our ability we do hereby make the following report of our acts in the premises

find it to contain 402 acres of land.



We value said 402 acres as a whole at $6000.00 making each one of the six shares

into which said estate is to be divided amount to $1000.00 in value.  We have

allotted and set aside to LIZZIE HILL 50 acres of land out of said estate which

we consider to be worth $1000.00 in value.  Said 50 acres is described by metes

tract allotted to ALLIE WALDRON* 85 8/10 poles to a stake with cedar maple and

red oak pointers, thence south with the west boundary of the tract allotted to

A plat of said partition is hereby furnished with this report by the surveyor.



All of which is respectfully submitted to your Honorable County Court of Haywood

County, State of Tenn.



And said report being unexcepted to is by the court in all things confirmed and

said partition ratified and approved.  It is therefore adjudged and decreed by

the Court that all right, title and interest of each and all the parties to this

suit in and to each of said shares or lots of land be divested out of them and

each of them and be vested in the respective parties to whom the commissioners

have allotted them in their foregoing report to be by the said parties

respectively held in severalty forever as set forth in said report.



And the master will on demand of any of said parties and the payment of the

legal fee execute acknowledge for registration and deliver to such party a deed

conveying to such party in severalty the particular share of land allotted to

him in said report as his muniment of title and will also issue to each of said

parties a writ of possession to place him or her as the case may be in a quiet

and peaceable possession of said land.



This is to certify that the above and foregoing is a true and perfect copy of

the deed as recorded in the County Court clerk's office of Haywood County,
