Gatewood-MO-1832

Howard Co, Mo
Deed book L, pg 406
dated 27 Feb 1832.

Richard Gatewood deeded one slave named PRISCILLA and all of her issue to Augustine Gatewood, his son. The condition was that all profit from this slave was to be given to his sister Jane and her children, who had married a man named P. Elvan Allen.

I gather from the wording, that Richard did not approve of the marriage and did not trust Mr. Allen with the gift.
