There must be other deeds involving this proper.  The other heirs had to sell their interest to property.  It appears to me that Jacob is probably only selling his interest in property.

We know from 1850 Mortality Schedule that both Jacob and Jane died in 1850 for which two coffins needed.  So why is estate paying for three coffins, and obviously Martha Page must have died after census.

JOHN B. TAYLOR vs STEPHEN ATNIP

It will be seen by reference to the proof of ALLEN PAGE on page 6 of the record that he sold the horse to the plaintiff fairly and bona fide and also by WILLIAM SWINEY on page 6 (who is the execution debter for whose debt the horse was levied on and who the deft insists owned the horse at the time of the levy). He states that the horse was the property of the plaintiff and that he had no claim upon him whatever and that he sold him fairly and bona fide to ALLEN PAGE the witness heretofore spoken of on page 6 for seventy seven and 50/100 dollars and that the whole transaction was fair........BARNEY PAGE states that he was present when plaintiff bought the horse from ALLEN PAGE. ALLEN said he didn't think TAYLOR offered enough and SWINNEY was present and said he thought it was enough plaintiff gave $77.50 for the horse.

WILLIAM SWINNEY proves that he sold the horse in controversy to ALLEN PAGE and PAGE some days after sold her to TAYLOR for seven dollars and 50 cents more than he got from him he was present when the trade was made and gave PAGE the note he held on him and took TAYLOR's note for the horse that he went with plaintiff to the south and had no claim on the horse after he sold him to PAGE, was present when Deft took the horse out of the possession of plaintiff. He took the note on TAYLOR and had not paid PAGE the difference between the notes and being asked if he did not state to WM HAINES(?) a short time after he returned from the south in the Town of Smithville that he sold the horse in the south for a watch and and forty dollars replied that he did not. States he did not recollect of staying at ALLEN PAGES the night before plaintiff bought the horse, thought he stayed at home. Was nothing said between him and PAGE about selling horse to plaintiff or meeting there - he just happen in there. Stated that there is a settlement between him and PAGE. ...

.....The court among other things not excepted to charged the jury as follows, "That if the Jury bvelieves the sale of the horse from SWINNEY to PAGE and from PAGE to Plaintiff was mere col--ble(?) and intended to hinder and delay the creditors of the debts of SWINNEY and might be levied upon in satisfaction of executions against him and if the Jury believes that the horse was in the possession of SWINNEY at the time of this levy by the deft and was still his horse, then they should find for the deft. But, if they believed the plaintiff had in good faith purchased the horse of PAGE or even of SWINNEY then they should find for the plaintiff. That if the horse was the property of SWINNEY and at the time of the levy in his possession, then the execution was sufficient authority to authorize the seizure of the defendant. This was all the testimony in this cause.
