Whereas an order was made at the last term of the Boone County Court appointing the undersigned commissioners to survey, divide and allot between and amongst the widow and heirs of W.C. Duncan decd, a certain described tract of land in said county according to the rights and interests of the parties.
Wherefore we met on the 25th instant upon the sd tract of land, and after having been duly sworn as required by law, we proceeded to survey and examine the same, in order to ascertain the number of acres, qualify (MAD: quality?) of the said, extent of improvements, the situation of the timber &c and haveing satisfied ourselves in reference to all the advantages and conveniences we next proceeded to lay off and set apart to Mrs. Mary Jane Duncan for her dower, 44 acres of the said tract including the dwelling house and other buildings, the orchard, a portion of the wood and timber land and also a portion of the cleaned, tillable ground, together with a fair proportion of the fencing on the farm; and the said dower is in our judgement worth one third of the value of the whole tract of land and its appertenances.
We next divided the ballance of the land into three lots of as equal value and convenient forms as our judgements would enable us to make them.
For a description & representation of the whole tract, and also the dower and the three lots into which the ballance of the land is divided we refer to the foregoing surveys report and plat.
Having completed the division, we next set apart the lots to the children (heirs) by drawing tickets, which resulted as follows:
Lurence Madaline Duncan drew Lot No. 2
Laura Alice " " Lot No. 1
Ann Eliza " " Lot No. 3
Given under our hands this 27th day of January 1864, Commis. Fee $6. /s/ N. Carpenter, N.W. Allen, M.S. Rice, Commis.
