We find a Patent bearing date the fifteenth day of September 1651 by which two hundred acres of Land are granted unto THOMAS BLAGG; We find that RICHARD BROWN and THOMAS TYRWHIT were afterwards, to wit, the eighth day of March 1668, seised in fee of the said premises. We find a Deed bearing date the said Eighth day of March 1668 purporting to be a division or partition of the said two hundred acres of land between the said BROWN and TYRWHIT. We find a Deed bearing date the ninth day of February 1697 by which one hundred acres of land, part of the said two hundred acres of Land are granted unto LEWIS MARKHAM as escheated from the said THOMAS TYRWHIT, that the said LEWIS MARKHAM entered into the said Land & was thereof seised in fee died so seised, that after the death of the said LEWIS MARKHAM.

Then JOHN WILLIAMS aged sixty four years being sworn deposed that near the aforesaid Stake there formerly stood a white Oak which forty years ago was reported among the neighbours to be the begining of the dividing line between the lands now in the possession of the Plt. and one BROWN and has after heard LEWIS MARKHAM & JOHN BROWN say so and never heard the same was contested; That about twenty one years ago, he was one of the Chain Carriers at a Survey made by Mr. THOMPSON, that he begun at the aforesaid Stake and run to the aforesaid Stump by the West side or near the same and run in the same courses (the remainder of this line is blurred on the film) to the aforesaid Oak by BLAGGs Beaverdams, the same course we now run that MRS. MARKHAM, then the Widow of LEWIS MARKHAM, the said & JOHN BROWN were both present at the said Survey but that Mr. CULLOM under whom the Deft. claims or any for him was not to the Deponts. knowledge that he never knew or heard of any other survey made by Mr. MARKHAM or his Widow than that made by THOMPSON, That he once saw the aforesaid lines run at the Plts. request processioned and has heard they have been twice processioned besides;
JAMES LEGG aged forty seven years being sworn deposed that he was one of the Chain Carriers of the aforesaid Survey made by Mr. THOMPSON who run the same courses and never heard of any other Survey mde by Mr. MARKHAM or his Wife.
FRANCIS JAMES aged fifty six years being sworn deposed that about eighteen years ago he was a processioner and processioned the lines now run at the Plts. request from the Stake to the Stump by the road as the lines of JOHN BROWN's land
JOHN STEELE aged sixty one years being sworn deposed that above twenty years ago at the request of JOHN BROWN he with one WILLIAM BROWN, measured with a drum line for the length of JOHN BROWN's dividing line, he cannot remember whether the line was run straight or not but no compass was made use of, that they marked the said line they measured but there were no marked trees there before.
Then the Defendant produced to us a Copy of a Survey made by Mr. THOMPSON for Mr. MARKHAM bearing date the sixth day of March 1713, which the Plt. objected and JOHN STEEL deposed that a place now the mouth of the said Branch was called ARRINGTONS LANDING forty years ago and that one ARRINGTON was in possession of the Defts. Land
FRANCIS JAMES deposed that he has known the aforesaid Landing thirty years, that during all that time it has been called ARRINGTONS LANDING and is reputed to be his land; That the aforesaid Swamp or Branch near the said Landing has been reputed the division of the lands now in possession of the Plt. and of that now in possession of the Defendant near forty years; that he never knew or heard LEWIS MARKHAM claimed any further then the said Branch; that about twenty years ago the Widow of the said MARKHAM pretended to take up some vast land but the same was generally reputed among the neighbours to belong to MARK CULLOM, JOHN FINCH aged sixty two years being sworn deposed that he has known the land in the Defendants possession over forty years; that when he first know it the same belonging to one ARRINGTON, afterwards to one LAMBEY, and after that to MARK CULLOM of whom the Defendant purchased, that he never knew or heard that LEWIS MARKHAM claimed any further then the Branch; that about ten or twelve years ago JOHN BROWN told him that Branch was the division between MARKHAMs & COLLOMs Land; And if upon the whole matter the Law is for the Plt. we find for him one shilling damage if not we find for the Defendant; Witness our hands and seals the two & twentieth day of June 1734
