Wiggle Sworn to and subscribed before me this the 13th day of March A.D. 1899. J.S. Davis, clerk Additional Comments: Henry Farley was father of Mary Ann Jane Farley who married Thomas Harper Booth around 1833 (probably in Lawrence Co. AL) and Elmira Susan who married F.M. Grimes (Washington Co TX). Henry and wife, Nancy White, and daughter, Elmira Susan Farley left for Texas in 1831. Henry applied for a Texas Land Grant, but died in 1834 before he could receive the title. Daughter, Elmira S. married Frederick M. Grimes. He was administrator on Henry Farley estate and applied for the title to one league and one labor of land Henry Farley had been granted. This application was approved Aug 2, 1828 in San Felipe de Austin. Nancy Ellen White Farley remarried in 1834 to Henry Hudson. She died in 1838. This deed is confusing because Thomas Harper Booth whose 3rd wife was named Nancy, also had a son, Thomas Harper Booth, Jr. . However, Thomas H. Booth, Jr. married Dec 12, 1854 (after this deed of Sept 1854) to Mary Virginia Priddy. The land was located on the Leon River in what is now Coryell County, Texas. These deeds are recorded in Coryell County. Thomas H. and Mary Booth has these children as proven by deeds in Itawaba County and Coryell County pertaining to this inherited Farley Land Grant Thomas H. Booth, Jr. Henry Farley Booth John W.
