Jasper Smith to William Shiflet
4 Dec 1839
Greene Co.

Note:Vicky Hensley e-mailed me and told me this should be Casper Smith, not Jasper. That Casper is of German parentage; his father did not speak English; that his siblings all died on the boat from Europe and only he survived because he was still being nursed. I will have to find the copy of the deed to check the name. However, even if the deed says Jasper, the clerk still could have made an error. Vicky says William bought a lot of land from Casper Smith, not just this one transaction, but we haven't found those deeds yet.

Know all men by these presents that I Jasper Smith of the County of Greene and state of Virginia am held and firmly bound to William Shiflet in the sum of five hundred and fifty dollars current money of the commonwealth for the true payment whereof I bind myself my hers etc. firmly, by these presents sealed with my seal and dated this 4 day of December 1839.

The condission of the above obligation is such that whereas I the said Jasper Smith hath this day bargained and sold unto the sd. William Shiflet a certain parcel of land laying a part in Greene and a part in Rockingham and situated on or near the top of the blue ridge where Richard Lam formerly lived, for and in consideration of the sum of two hundred and twenty five dollars for which bonds are executed by the sd. Shiflet and bound as follows: beginning at Thomas Shiflets corner in Bledsoes line, thence with the said Bledsoes line to the corner, thence to two chesnuts oakes, thence to some ash saplins, thence to two chesnut oaks, from thence to William Smith corner, thence to Bledsoes second corner, thence to Bledsoes beginning corner thence with William Lamb line to the Hickory corner, thence to the beginning.

Now I the said Jasper Smith bind myself as above to make or cause to be made a good general relvant deed when the half of the money is paid for said land; now if the deed shall be made agreeably to this agreement, then the obligation shall be void otherwise to remain in full force.
