Deed: Georgie LYNN, et al to Louisianna SULLIVAN

I thought this Deed was especially interesting because it mentions the half acre set aside for the Cole family cemetery in Independent Hill.  It also lists the "surviving heirs at law" of the will of Lawrence Cole (one of whom, Earl Lynn, is his grandson and my grandfather).
