TRANSCRIPTION NOTE

	No changes have been made in the spelling, punctuation or format from the original document.  The misspelled words found in this document are underlined.  Variations in the surnames are noted, with the Hale surname spelled as Haile or Hail, while the Clemment surname was spelled either Clement, Clemment, or Clemmant.  This deed is the earliest official record of Thomas Hail/Hale in Gibson County, Tennessee found to this date.  This deed noted that Thomas Hail was a resident of Madison County, Tennessee at the time of purchase.  Since no reference to this Thomas Hail/Hale has been found in the Madison County records, this suggests that it must have been just a temporary residence prior to him purchasing this section of land in Gibson County.  This 146 acres of land was situated in Civil District #2 of Gibson County, which is a civil district situated on the south side on the county with it's southern boundry being the county line that divides Gibson County from Madison County.
