"By virtue of an order of the court of ordinary of said county to me directed to make distribution of the estate, the same being lands of Silas M. Pennington, late of said county, in hands of W.T. Neill, administrator; among his lawful distributees Ida E. Pennington and Francis E. Odom, we proceeded in the following manner this 26th day of September 1873 ? , to execute said order after first being sworn to each other.
The distributees were found to be two and of course the estate which consisted of the east half lot of land number 230, in the first district of said county, and to be divided as nearly as possible into two equal parts. We procured the services of the county surveyor and had the said east half of lot of land no. 230 divided into two equal parts by a line running east and west through the middle of said half lot. The north half of said half lot being over ?? at the time of the distribution by one of the distributees, Mrs. Francis E. Odom, we assigned that to her but then having the improvements on it, we considered it to be worth one hundred and fifty dollars more than the south half therefore in giving the south half of said lot to Ida E. Pennington we required Mrs. Francis E. Odom to pay to W. T. Neill the guardian of Ida E. Pennington, seventy five dollars.
