Text: This parcel was included in the 99-year lease given in 1883 to Ussery by the Monroe County Board of Supervisors. A portion of this parcel (S 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4) was also included in the 1885 Fitts tax deed. There is a gap in the chain of title from 1883 until 1892. In 1892, this parcel was conveyed by one Mayfield to Booth. In 1906, Booth conveyed to I.W. and C.W. Rye. In 1908, C.W. Rye conveyed his interest to I.W. Rye. In 1915, I.W. Rye conveyed this parcel to Barton, less a 30-acre tract which I.W. Rye retained. In 1928, Barton conveyed the parcel, less the 30 acres, to Young. In 1928, Young gave a deed of trust covering this land to Leftwich. (This deed does not appear in the trial record.) In 1930, Leftwich foreclosed on the deed of trust and conveyed title to A.G. Rye. In 1939, A.G. Rye conveyed to Willard and Carl Rye. Finally, in 1961, Willard Rye's heirs conveyed the land to Carl and Gladys Rye. In 1923, I.W. Rye gave a deed of trust covering his retained 30 acres to Jones, trustee for the Federal Land Bank of New Orleans. In 1933, the bank foreclosed on the deed of trust, and Jones conveyed title to the bank. In 1935, the bank conveyed to A.G. Rye. A.G. Rye then conveyed the 30 acres along with the rest of Parcel B in his 1939 conveyance to Willard Rye and Carl Rye.
