Recorded in Liberty County Superior Court on June 20, 1805. [NOTE: The year of the deed was written as 1805 in one part, and as 1804 in the other. 1804 is obviously the correct year. Also, normally the residency of both parties would be specified in a deed, but in this case, it was left blank for James D’Wolf in two places.]
