On Oct ober 26, 1803 John Garn and his wife Margaret, sold 4 acres and 15 perches of land to John Stoneking for $40.00. John continued to reside in the northern part of Bedford county until he died on September 24 1808. Although John died interstate, he had divided his land equally between his two sons, John Jr. and Frederick prior to his death. the sons legally settled this interstate inheritance by making token payments to each of their siblings in return for quit claim deeds whixh prevented them from contesting the land inheritance.
