Some abstracted records of land transactions by John Vincent (1787-1871)
* The transaction dated 7 Dec. 1804 is John Vinson, the son of Drury Vinson, NOT "our" John (1787-1871). There seem to be several generations named John, some of which were cousins. The confusion can be cleared up by comparing John's birth date. In 1850, John told a census taker he was 63 years old. That means he was born in 1787 and was only 17 years old in 1804. He was therefore not legally old enough to buy or sell property. For other records, please return to the main profile page for John Vincent (1787-1871)
