for the aforesaid Two Tracts of Land, bearing Date the 14th of
September 1686, from the said Richard Wade, to a Certain Thomas
Hussey, his Heirs and Assigns for ever. We likewise find that the
said Thomas Hussey, by his Last Will and Testament, duly proved,
bearing Date the 6th Day of ffebruary 1699 and 1700, did Give and
Bequeath unto his Grandson Thomas Hussey Luckett, 1310 acres
of Land, lying in Chingomuxon; of which we apprehend the Two
above mentioned Tracts of Land, called Waidstone's Enlargement,
to be part. We further find the last Will and Testament of Robert
Price, of Charles County, duly proved on the 22d of June 1715:
In a Clause of which are the following words, viz. " That is to say,
200 acres thereof I give unto my Daughter Elizabeth, and to the
Heirs of her Body for ever and for and on Default of such Issue,

then to my Daughter Mary, which God was pleased to bless me with,
by my second and present Marriage, to her, and her Heirs for ever "
Which 200 acres, your Committee presume to be part of a Tract of
Land, called St. Patrick's Hill, mentioned in the said Petition. And
we likewise believe, that Anne the wife of Jeremiah Adderton, is
Daughter and Heiress of the aforesaid Elizabeth, Daughter of the
aforementioned Robert Price the Deviser, and lastly, we find that
the Tract of Land Called Waidstones Enlargement, patented for
100 acres; and that part of the Tract of Land, called Waidstone,
measuring 112 Acres, according to the Courses, mentioned in the
aforesaid patent (leaving out the words, Two Degrees South, in the
fifth Course, which we apprehend to be a Mistake) by the Informa-
tion of Mr Bayne Smallwood, is better in Quality, and of greater
value, than the aforesaid 200 acres, part of St. Patrick's Hill: All
which is humbly submitted to the Consideration of your Honourable
House Signed per Order Wm Wilkins, Clerk
Which Report was read; and Leave is given to bring in a Bill
accordingly.
