the Office of the Cleric of the Circuit Court for Cecil
County aforesaid, to which the corporation the 40 acres
of land passed and by which corporation the parcel of
land has, continuously, been held since the 6th day of
April, 1811, for the purposes of a meeting house for
religious worship for the Society of People, called
Quakers, and for a burial ground for said Society of
People; and

WHEREAS, The Board of Education of Cecil County
desires to purchase in fee simple absolute a portion of
the 40 acres with the intention of erecting thereon a
building or buildings for school or educational purposes;
and

WHEREAS, There is a possibility of a right of
reverter vested in the State of Maryland upon the
determination by "The Corporation of Trustees for the
Brick Meeting House Lot, in East Nottingham, Cecil
County, Maryland," that a part of its 40 acre tract is no
longer needed for a meeting house for religious worship
and burial grounds; and

WHEREAS, The corporation is willing, if it can
acquire a fee simple absolute title, free of any
possibility of a reverter in the State of Maryland, to
sell a portion of its lands unto the Board of Education
of Cecil County and believes that the sale of a portion
of its lands and the erection of a school thereon by the

WHEREAS, The Corporation of the Trustees for the
Brick Meeting House Lot, in East Nottingham, Cecil
County, Maryland, a religious corporation of the State of
Maryland, desires to eliminate in its entirety any
possibility of a right of reverter being vested in the
State of Maryland should any portion of its 40 acre tract
cease to be used for the purposes of a meeting house for
religious worship for the Society of People, called
Quakers, and for a burial ground for the Society of
People; so that the religious corporation known as "The
Corporation of Trustees for the Brick Meeting House Lot,
in East Nottingham, Cecil County, Maryland," will be
vested with a fee simple absolute title free of any
possibility of a right of reverter vested in the State of
Maryland; now, therefore,
