Wall-Pettibone family papers, 1795-1889.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122403772

The papers document the land ownership of the Wall and Pettibone families. The earliest documentation relates to the Spanish land grant of 500 arpents of land in the Natchez District to John Wall in 1795 and includes papers signed by Francisco Luis Hector, Baron de Carondelet. The documents indicate that Wall received subsequent Spanish land grants. A legal document of 1820 records that Chauncey Pettibone of Concordia Parish, Louisiana, purchased the Richland Plantation, which included 1,070 acres and all slaves, livestock, and equipment on the property. A United States land grant documents that another 382 acres of the original Spanish land grants was deeded to Samuel Woods (d. 1833 or 1834) in 1833. In 1834, Chauncey Pettibone purchased half of Woods' land from the administrators of his estate, Robert L. Brandon and Joanna Woods. A plat of the Richland Plantation (1883) shows its dimensions and the lines of the original Spanish land grants. Documents from the 1870s and 1880s reflect sales of land by Henry B. Pettibone, Annie P. Merwin, George W. Merwin, and Robert L. Brandon and purchases of land by Mary P. Wall and Annie P. Merwin. Included is the marriage license of Evans S. Wall and Mary L. Pettibone.
