J. J. Goodfellow survey corner
below is a picture of a “planted stone” survey corner set for the east corner of the G. Garcia Survey by J. J. Goodfellow, Tarrant County Surveyor, in February, 1892 (or possibly by George M. Williams deputy surveyor). the field notes state “Thence N 60° E, 948 vs with the N. line of said Bridgeman Sur. to a planted stone at the S.W. Cor. of the W. Simpson Sur. Whence a P.O. 14″ brs N 38 1/4 E 31 vs a P.O. Stump 12″ and standing 10 feet high brs. N 38 W 23 vs both are the original trees and marked. a P.O. 5″ brs N 39 1/2 W 9 3/4 vs new witness”
the survey is square w/ the lines running N 30° E and N 60° W.
the stone is a shaped into a rough square on top approx 4″ X 4″. the blue top to the right is marking what appears to be a burnt out fence post. the stone about 15″-18″ deep.
