Heading: PARCEL A SE 1/4 of NW 1/4 of Section 21

Text: This parcel was included in the 99-year lease given in 1883 to Rees by the Monroe County Board of Supervisors. A portion of this parcel (W 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4) was also included in the 1885 Fitts tax deed. After Rees' death, the Chancery Court of Monroe County ordered the sale of this property to settle his estate. By a deed from the Clerk of the Chancery Court, the unexpired term of the Rees lease was sold in 1901 to F.L. Rye and P.R. Pool. In 1907, F.L. Rye sold his interest to Pool, but the deed covenanted a fee simple conveyance of the land. In 1911, Pool conveyed the land in fee simple back to F.L. Rye. In 1946, F.L. Rye's heirs conveyed the land to Willard Rye and Carl Rye. Finally, in 1961, Willard Rye's heirs conveyed to Carl and Gladys Rye. With the exception of the 1901 deed from the Clerk of the Chancery Court, all the deeds in this chain of title purport to convey fee simple estates, not leasehold estates.
