      Of the 106 tract, some 60 or 70 acres has been cleared and of this cleared land some 40 acres is now not cultivated and is grown up in brown sedges, the balance is common or ordinary land, the fences are not good and need repairing. the remaining land lies mostly in spring creek bottom, is swampy land and not situated to cultivation, the timber consist of black and white oak, gum and some bushes. the most valuable timber having been used up.

      No good water on the place except a spring on the lower portion of the land. the mansion house consists of two large buildings and perhaps some shed rooms. There is also a hog crib, stable and smoke house, but all are inferior and dilapidated.

      Another describes the mansion house as one room log house. Nancy's heirs to this land were M. J. Coffman, J.B. Tracy, D.W. Tracy, E.E. Tracy, M. Jessee Cary, Jas N. Tracy. "Cass" Coffman bought this land for $300. on 12-31-1888. J.T. Coffman and James G. Douglas gave him notes for the money. [2]
