Land Transaction Between James Wood and Richard Kimball 25 March 1858
Background
Evidently, James Wood purchased land in Erath County from Richard Kimball (the land agent). I have letters between Monroe Frazier and James Wood about selling land in Erath County, but I don’t know if this is the same property or not. Other letters indicate that Monroe and Jane Wood Frazier lived in Erath County for a while before the outbreak of the Civil War.

Hi! We are using the Escapade theme, but it is heavily modified. I know that doesn’t help much.
