227	(The Civil War having intervened, Jackson?s properties were not offered for sale until the first Monday of February, 1870. Four parcels were auctioned to the highest bidder at the courthouse door, including Sea Song and Clifton plantations. Roderick Seal purchased the first for $1,000, and the second for $3,650. Seal also bought the other parcels, one of 40 acres for $50 and the other of 80 acres for $ 100.)228

Russ was the son of Asa Russ who had sold to Jackson when Simpronius was only about 12 years old.. Curiously, a number of entries appear in the early deed books that purport to show that the Claibomes bought Clifton, as well as other properties, for taxes; these entries, including one which is an inventory of Mrs. Claiborne?s assets, apparently did not hold up legally, as it is evident that Seal was declared owner of Clifton, as well as Sea Song and two other properties. Another parcel that Andrew Jr. had bought was the ?Mitchell place,? 1,920 acres purchased on March 19, 1857; it is not known what disposition was made of this piece of land.
