NOTE: 

26 acres from the 100 acres that FM sold his son SW 1868. A family story written by
Sam Grimes: "George made friends with everyone and was good natured. He started the
small merchandising store at Cross Roads, probably in 1880, and sold out to go back
to McGregor."    Sam "At Cross Roads I put up a cotton gin and mill on the old pond
and I ran them until 1878 or 1880."  


Additional Comments:
FM had given 152 acres to his daughter, Betty, around 1879. This would be additional
land.
