John Blackburn Moyers scrapbook - brief notes on his farms & residences

copied from Scrapbook of the Rev. John Moyers of Jefferson, Bledsoe, and Warren Counties in Tennessee by Ruth Carpenter Hall. When transcribed, the scrapbook was owned by Finis Myers of Weatherford, Texas, and it is now with a relative in Florida.
I once owned a farm in Jefferson County, Tenn. the first cost was $400. dollars, and I sold it for $710 & me & family then moved to Bledsoe Co, Tenn. and I purchased another farm for $800. I improved and beautified it, and lived on it 14 years. I then sold it to William Worthington for $1800. I then purchased a farm of some 900 acres of Major Lowrey in Warren Co. Tenn for some $2000. in cash and if we are spared we expect to remove there by the first of March 1850.
