Description

Jefferson Walls mortgaged land in Platte County to Lewis Swope for $1,600, using the land as collateral, with the mortgage to be void upon full payment. Land was in the NE 1/4 of Section 27, Township 53, Range 35, except 50 acres owned by Joseph Prewett. On July 21, 1857, William Paxton recorded, "I hereby acknowledge that the note herein described was paid in full to Lewis Swope in his life time. This I know at the time and after his death. I am the administrator of his estate, heed no claim on Walls, found none in the papers of the deceased - and of my own knowledge admit it was paid by Swope."
