Samuel Black Acklin (1767 - 1826), who witnessed this deed, married Elizabeth Hunt, daughter of John Hunt, for whom Huntsville was named. John Hunt was also considered the founder of Claiborne County, Tennessee, as well, according to this source.

This source had the following to say about Stockley Donelson:

Other activities which portrayed how employees of the state could use the laws to their advantage can be seen in the disposition of the 200,000-acre tract granted to Henderson and his Transylvania Company. This tract, located in present Claibourne County, was laid out by Stockley Donelson. Apparently Donelson constructed the grant to his own advantage. The lines bounding the property were erratic and carefully skirted some desirable lands in the region. These lands were probably acquired by Donelson or his friends.

Donelson, Stockley (1752-1805)

Born in Halifax County, Virginia, in 1752; son of Colonel John and Rachel (Stockley) Donelson. ...appointed by Governor Blount as lieutenant-colonel commandant of Territorial militia, 1790. Married in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina, on April 17, 1797, to Mrs. Elizabeth (Glasgow) Martin, daughter of James Glasgow; no children. He later lived in Knox County, and spend his few years in Davidson County, where he died in September 1805. ...brother-in-law of Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the United States. Source

Note:
Another less than stellar sourcing job by yours truly.... Many times a brief description is noted so the source can be reconstructed through library catalogs (Allen County, Library of Michigan, etc.). This often works well, but in this case did not.

My best guess until the book itself is consulted again in order to verify or refute this assertion, is that the above excerpt came from Willis, Laura and Betty Sellers. Claiborne County, Tenn. Deeds. Melber, KY: Simmons Historical, 1997-1998. Three volumes. v. 1. 1802-1806 -- v. 2. 1806-1810 -- v. 3. 1803-1808.
