There is likely to be some difficulty between William Milican and
Whitesides boys I will Explain the circumstances to you and wish
your opinion Henry and Boland Whitesides and Jack C. Davisapplied to me Jointly for Land I agreed to let them have the League
of Land to be Equally divided but when Sims made his Return he
left out the name of Davis and the Deed came out in the name of
Henry and Boland Whiteside of which I Informed them when I
delivered to them the deed they agreed it should make no difference
that they wood secure to Davis one Third of said League of Land as
Soon as It was convenient Mr. Milican has now bot one Third
of the Land from Henry Whiteside and has taken his obligation to
make him a Deed to It he has also bot Davis land which constitutes
another Third they made a Division of the Land as appears from
the manner in which they have disposed of It. this is the only
Evidence of, a Division Boland Whiteside now contends for One
Half of the League of Land and says that as no Legal Division has
been made he is not bound to be governed by the sales that were
made he further contends that Davis has no Right to the Land
that he has got the Deed and will hold the Land Now the question
is wheather Davis Sale of the Land wood Intitle Mr. Milican to It
or not or wheather Davis could hold the Land himself Independant
of Bolands opposition and wheather the Division made among them
previous to Mr. Milicans purchasing this Land wood be considered
obligatory or Legal Mr Milican on faith of the Contract made
with Davis and Henry Whiteside has moved on to the Land with
his family your opinion on the subject might Enable me to have
the matter arranged without any further difficulty or otherwise the
Business will come before you for Decission
