to run from the main road leading from the head of Chester to the
head of Sassafras, in Kent county, through the lands of James
Blackeston, Edward Hanson, and others, to intersect the Delaware
line at or near the lands of George C. Saunders: And whereas it
appears to this general assembly that a road opened in the direction
as prayed for would be generally beneficial to the inhabitants of
the upper part of Kent county, and would also greatly promote the
communication between the citizens of this state and those of the
state of Delaware; therefore, |
