At a Council held at the City of Annapolis on Saturday the
3d of August in the fourth year of his Ldps Dominion Annoq
Domini 1754.
Present
The Benjamin Tasker Esqr Col Lloyd
honourable Philip Thomas Esqr Benedict Calvert Esqr
Mr Emorys Plan being laid before this Board by his Ex-
cellency whereby It appears that he began at a Red Oak
about Two Miles Eastward of the Main Branch of Elk River
said to be marked as the terminating Tree to a twelve Miles
West Radius from Newcastle run by one Mr George Daker
in 1732 hence He proceeded according to Order so far South-
ward as Choptank Bridge, and from such actual Survey has
discovered (as is delineated on his Map) that a due North
and South Line begun from the aforesaid Tree does intersect,
first, two Small Branches of Christine Creek, then leaving
the Principal Branch of Elk River considerably to the West-
ward, It cuts, at about forty Perches below their Mill Dams,
where a Canoe in a high Tide will pass, three Small Streams
called Evans, Broad and Back Creeks, which flow into that
River; the said Line afterwards intersects two Small
Branches of Bohemia just above the Landing beyond which
a Canoe will in a high Tide go about a Quater of a Mile;
Sassafras River is left entirely to the Westward of this Line,
