Ms. Charlotte:  Have you looked in the deed records prior to the date of this deed To Chisholm for a deed from father to son ?

Have you looked for an estate or administration for the son prior to this Chisholm deed date?

Both of those questions bear directly on any answer to your quest for an explanation.  Paul

  Harold Cochran was kind enough to send the transcribed deed below to me.  I would like to know under what legal circumstances can Robert Leverette and wife, Ann, sell land they had given to son, Robert?
