Land Deed for James Brittain in 1795 - Greene County, Georgia

I am not entirely sure if this Greene County, Georgia deed was for land purchased by James Brittain Jr (b 1769) or his father, James Brittain Sr (b 1745). The person who posted this transcription on ancestory.com believed it was the former. This document was written around the time that James Brittain and Frances "Frankey" Pound were married. Remember that Green County was formed from part of Washington County in 1786.
