Deed Book 20, Page 538, 1871, Donald MacDonald to Colin MacDonald, Brown’s Mountain (Eigg Mountain Settlement History)

-for $140

-100 acres

-bounded as follows (Lot 511):

-toward the east by William Quinn

-toward the north by John MacDonald and James MacDonald

-towards the west by Allan MacDonald and Colin MacDonald

-towards the south by Angus MacEachern

This land description seems in direct contradiction to the first parcel in 1871 deed D_20_560.  They both list Colin and Allan to the west on the same date.  I am assuming that this parcel was split – that seems to resolve most of the contradictions.
