1854 December 2: Josiah Dowling to John W. Kelly, Dowling interest in ½ of Block 9.
Reference:
Lavaca County Deed E/72
Note: The above deed from Dowling to Kelly is unclear. Nothing in the deed specifies which lots in Block 9 Kelly received. Investigation into other deeds and tax rolls did not provide any clarity. So far now, until additional information is discovered, the entire Block 9 will remain in the names of Dowling and Kelly.
