Echols will warrant and defend the above granted premises unto the said [N/H?] [J/T?] Norris, his heirs and assigns against the legal claim and demands of heirs the said John W. Echols his heirs and assigns and against all other persons claiming claiming under the said grantor. Lucy Echols a wife of the above named John W. Echols in consideration of one dollar to her in hand paid does hereby release to the said [N/H?] [J/T?] Norris all her right of dower in and to the above described land.
In witness whereof the said John W. Echols and Lucy Echols have hereunto set our hands and seals this the 21 day of Oct in the year our Lord 1862.
J. W. Echols (seal)
Lucy Ann Echols (seal)
The land being sold by J. W. and Lucy Ann Echols is the northern half of AL5070_.138, originally patented by William Dougherty and issued 7/1/1841.
Note that by 1862, the civil war was underway; Alabama seceded from the union on January 11, 1861. John Washington Echols is believed to have been born circa 1811, making him approximately 51 at the time of this sale and outside of the age range for forced conscription; however, per Military Pension Records 1879-1940, he died due to sickness as a solider and his wife received a pension under "Relief by Widows of Confederate Soldiers or Sailors" while she was living in Butler County. Thus, this record could align with John W. Echols' joining of the CSA.
