Pat Tuck Bizzell discovered this original deed of sale in an old trunk
that belonged to her parents.  Pat's grandfather, Richard Lewis TUCK,
was related to Clary (Clara) WYNN by marriage.
She was his first wife's mother.
The property she purchased in 1880
was located approximately 2½ miles south of Bobo
on the west side of what is now U.S. Highway 43.
