ADDENDUM: The Madison County deed index prepared by G. W. Jones & Co. for lands in Sections 17 and 18 of T5-R1W shows that William H. Hundley (and the rest of the John H. Hundley family) sold in 1870 to John Simpson the lands that the Hundley family inherited from Lucy Lanier Ives Clark. The 1870 date is the date of recording of the deed. The actual date of the transaction was considerably earlier - by 15 years, with some of the delay probably due to the impact of the Civil War. The date is significant because William Henderson Hundley was reported in THE LURE AND LORE OF LIMESTONE COUNTY as having lived March 10, 1835 to March 31, 1864. Accordingly, he was dead for 4 years before 1870, when the sale of the land to John Simpson was finally recorded. The last page of the recorded deed in Madison County Deed Book NN, pages 367 - 370, shows that the sale actually occurred in 1855, whereas the deed was not delivered to the Madison County courthouse for recording until 1870. 30 - (2414)
