On 1 Oct 1826, the heirs of Thomas Cochran transferred all of the estate property over to William Hill for 5 shillings. And on 2 Oct 1826, William Hill divided up the estate and deeded it back individually to each heir, complete with boundary descriptions. Why do we care? Because the 1000-acre Denson grant that Robert Ripley leased from Fletcher and then Cochran was included in the properties that were devised. Thomas Logan made a survey plan to go along with the dispersals, but I haven't been able to locate it. So instead, I haywired one together, with my limited knowledge of surveying, You're welcome to have a look. This may come in handy if you run into a deed that references Lot R, S, X, V,etc. on the 1826 Thomas Logan plan. cochran_lots_denson_grant.pdf
