Pocomoke River, a Town, commonly called Snow-hill-Town, con-

uncertain, and the Improvements very much hindered by reason that

commodious for Trade, and several People desirous to settle in the
same could they be well secured in their Lots.

Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Authority of the
