[APG Public List] Land Indenture Language

[Donna McR]

I need to confirm the legal meaning here:


State of Georgia, County of Wilkes. Indenture dated 12 October1871 between 
Branson Thomas of Heard County, of the first part, and Samuel Smith of the 
State of Alabama, County of Randolph, of the second part, for and in 
consideration of the sum of $600: 95 acres, the east side of lot #189 in the 
12th District of originally Carroll now Heard County.

Please tell me which is the seller of this land----the party of the first 
part (Branson Thomas) or the party of the second part (Samuel Smith)?

Help appreciated-----

Donna
