that Part of Frederick County which was formerly included in
Prince George's County, and Baltimore County next adjoining to
the latter, as seemed most convenient for dividing the said Counties,
in Manner following; viz.
Beginning at a Spring called Parr's Spring, and running from
thence North 35 Degrees East to a bounded White Oak, standing
on the West Side of a Waggon Road called John Diggs's Road,
about a Mile above a Place called the Burnt-House Wood; and run-
ning thence up the said Road to a bounded White Oak, standing on
the East Side thereof, at the Head of a Draught of Sam's Creek;
thence North 55 Deg. East to a Spanish Oak, standing on a Ridge
near William Roberts's, and opposite to the Head of a Branch called
the Beaver Dam; and running thence North 20 Deg. East to the
temporary Line between the Provinces of Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, being near the Head of a Draught of Conowaugo, at a rocky
Hill called Rattle-Snake Hill: And that we are of Opinion that it
will be most convenient to the bordering Inhabitants, of Baltimore
and Frederick Counties, that the said Lines be established as the
Boundaries of and between both Counties; and that all the Lands on
the East-South East Sides of the said Lines be deemed to be in Bal-
timore County, and all the Inhabitants therein to be Inhabitants and
Residents of the said County; and that all the Lands on the West-
North- West Sides, Part of Frederick County, and all the Inhabi-
tants therein, Residents and Inhabitants of Frederick County.
All which is humbly submitted to the Wisdom of both Houses of
Assembly.
