"aAD' ANTHONY wAYNE's ESTATE.
The Land Given Him by the state
for His VaIOrOus Deeds.


What might be a valuable document for
the Georgia Historical Society is the origi-
nal deed to a large tract Of land in Chat
ham county given Maj. Gen. Anthony
Wayne by the Georgia Legislature at the
close of the Revolutionary war 1t is in
the possession Of Mr.. F. L. Chandler OF
Newark. N. J., and is an interesting doc J.
ment The land has since passed to many
different hands.
The contracting parties named In the
deed were Coy. Edward Telfsir and Gen.
Wayne. The. cause fol the cessation is
given in the instrument itself and is as
follows:
Whereas, Brigadier now major Cen
eral Wayne hath since his commanding
the forces of the United States within this
state, rendered great and meritorious ser
vices to this country by driving in posts
of the enemy, and with a very inferior
force keeping them confined to Savannah;
and whereas, the gallant and judiclous
conduct of the said general highly merits
the general attention and appreciation of
this state;
Resolved, That the sum of 1000 euineas
be granted to three commissioners to be
appointed by this House for the purpose Of
purchasing an estate for Brigadier Gen
eral Anthony Wayne, in such part or parts
OF the state as he shall appoint" etc. This
clause is an extract from the legislative
enactment and is quoted by the Governor
IN the official deed of transference. The
act was passed May /, 1882
The deed IS said to be worn considerably
ana is colored and dimmed from age In
parts the writing can scarcely be deci-
phered and especially that portion relating
70 the manner by which the estate origi-
nally came into possession of the state,
which is said to have been by confscation
Tor reasonable conduct on the part of the
owner.
Mr.. Isaac Beckett was seen by a Morn
ing News representative and asked con-
corning the hands through which the land
mad passed since 1t was owned by Gen
Wayne. The information was readily Civ
en- by Mr. Beckett who has a store of such
information almost al his finger tips He
hauled down volume of Abstracts of IL
ties, and said that on April . 1871, Gen
wayne sold the property in question to
Edward Penman, one of the wealthie;t
men and largest land owners in Chatham
county for f5.2S2 sterling, an increase in
price of about 20 per cent. Mr. Penman
paid in cash f22S2 sterling and mortgaged
The property to Gen. Wayne for e 600. the
remainder of the purchase money. 1t ap-
pears from the records, he said, that Mr.
Penman made heavy business losses and
on June y, 1872, under an execution against
him, the sheriff of Chatham county sold
this large tract to William B. Bullock for
$3.50. On Jan. g. 1S43, Mr.. Bullock sold the
land TO the Bank of the State of Georgia
for $25,6OO. Soon after this he said the dis
