WHEREAS it has been represented to this general assembly, by the petition of Robert Moore,
of Talbot county, that he is a native of the county of Donegal, in the kingdom of Ireland;
that in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three, he emigrated from said kingdom, and
arrived in Philadelphia towards the latter part of the said year, and has ever since resided in the
United States, and since the year seventeen hundred and eighty-eight, in the state of Maryland,
and from an idea that a number of years residence would give him a right of citizenship, he omitted
the necessary form of naturalization, until the last session of Talbot county court: And whereas

fully and fairly acquired by the aforesaid Robert Moore, whether such title be derived by gift, grant,

as if the said Robert Moore had become naturalized, agreeably to the laws of the United States,
before the acquiring such real property; provided always, that nothing herein contained shall in any
manner defeat or affect any right, title or claim, to the said property, or any part thereof, lawfully
acquired by any person or persons whatever before the passage of this act.

III. AND BE IT ENACTED, That all such deed or deeds of conveyance, made and executed by
the said Robert Moore to the several persons who may have purchased property of him prior to his
