Wilhite Carpenter to Elijah McCubbins - Part of 200 Acres

In July 1892, Wilhite Carpenter sold his Pine Tavern tract to Elijah McCubbins. He had owned the tract since 1853 when he purchased it from Zaddock Brown. His elder brother, James Madison Carpenter had lived in that area until his death in 1884. McCubbins would soon sell it to George Yeast.
