Antique Title Abstract-1839-1913-Van Buren Arkansas-7 Pages-Map-Wax Seal

Description

Offered is this antique legal document, an abstract of title for land located in Van Buren, Arkansas, prepared by the Bryan Abstract Co. of Van Buren. There is a front and back cover on heavy stock paper as well as seven pages of ordinary paper. The document was signed on Dec. 22, 1913 (see photo #6) but traces the land ownership back to the original land grant from the US government to John Henry, dated Sept. 20, 1839 (see photo #3). There are several owners in between the then-current one and the original, all detailed on separate pages. There is also a map showing the property's location and legal description (see photo #2). The company's wax seal appears on the back (see last two photos).
The cover is approx. 8 7/8" x 3 7/8", with each page about 7 1/2" x 3 3/4". It is in very good to excellent condition, with no tears or holes. The paper has yellowed but everything is readable.
