Whereas a conveyance hath been executed by Hiram C. Fleenor dated
the 8th day of August 1838 by which he hath transferred to Thomas W
Fleenor his right and title to the tract of land on which Michael Fleenor
dec’d lived at the time of his death and also his right and title to the slave
bequeathed by the will of said Michael to the said Hiram—and it being the
understanding and agreement – between the said Hiram – and the said
Thomas that the said slave Toby is to be free—but that he is to live
with his mother Sarah Fleenor and cultivate her farm during her life.

In order therefore to execute this intention I, the said Thomas W. Fleenor do
hereby agree and bind myself and my heirs that the said Toby is to remain
in the possession and on the farm of said Sally Fleenor and cultivate the
same for her during her natural life. She allowing him for his services such share
of the crops annually as David Campbell the Executor of said Michael shall
think just. And at the death of said Sally Fleenor, I said Thomas W
Fleenor bind myself and my heirs that the said Toby shall be a free man. And
in pursuance of the agreement between said Hiram and myself above referred
to. I do from the death of my mother aforesaid forever set free and emancipate said Toby.

Witness my hand and seal this 29th day of September 1838.
