Contributors Note:  This deed belongs to my gg-grandfather, Adam F. Smith.  
Adam had moved to Marion Co., TN, sometime between 1850 and 1860.  He returned 
to Knox Co., to sell his farm.  I have tried to transcribe the document 
exactly as written, including spelling errors and punctuation errors.
