Buntin has had about the amount, interes and principal of 90 Dollars, though his is all embraced in two notes, except 15 Dollars security, money I paid for him to Townsend.  My daughter Lucy F. Teague has had nothing, my daughter America C. Day has had nothing.  My son W. J. Buntin has had 20 Dollars and for his having Ralph Jones (? ) sawed down , which stood within 60 yards of my door.  I told him that if cut or sawed down by any body that he should pay for it which I
