Powhaton Toney Cemetery, 67-1 Summary Report, page 33

---

The above land records and indexes show that Samuel Hatton in was the first purchaser of the NE/4 of S11-T5-R1W and several adjacent quarters in other sections as well. John W. Looney had some of the adjoining land in the NW/4 of Section 12. In 1845 Samuel Hatton put the NE/4 of Section 11 in a Deed of Trust to Benjamin T. Moore, as Trustee. Several others (Langley, Ewing, Ragland, Jones, Brickell, and Spragins) were involved in transactions regarding the NE/4, until in 1870 the land was transferred from Elias C. & Anna Spragins to Samuel H. Moore. Samuel transferred the land in 1874 to James R. & Sallie K. Spragins, who in turn transferred it to Sarah (“Sallie”) A. Spragins in 1876. In 1886, Sarah Spragins sold the land to John W. & A. J. Mayhall, who also sold a portion of it in 1886 to the American Freeholder Land Mortgage Company. It was that company that referred to the parcel as “part of the J. W. Mayhall place” and initially sold the land to Powhaton Toney in 1904, as shown in the deeds and INDEX inserted earlier. Other aspects of this cemetery are seen in the photos below: 33 - (2509)
