I have this day bargained and sold and do by these presents bargain and sell to L. W. Ezell the following property to wit: One bay horse, one clock, sixteen head stock hogs, one shotgun, one bed, bedstead & furniture & one cow & calf. I bind myself to warrant and forever [defend] the above property to the said Ezell against myself & all and every other person whomsoever. But this conveyance is made in trust & for no other purposes. That is to say I am indebted to one Thos Arnett in the sum of Eighty Dollars by note dated the 4th of this month, due & bearing interest from date. Now if I shall will and truly pay off & discharge said note on or before the first day of March 1851, then this Deed to be void.
