An act for the benefit of the Heirs of Rezin Gaither, de-
ceased.

Preamble

Whereas, Rezin Gaither, who died many years since,
was seized of a small tract of land in Anne Arundel, part of
Hereford, containing seventeen acres, and the title thereto
is vested in Elizabeth Gaither, Ruth Gaither, children of
said Rezin, and in the children of John Gaither, and the
children of Joshua Gaither, and in the child of Ephraim
Gaither, grand children of the said Rezin Gaither; and
whereas, by the usual course of the court of chancery, se-
veral of the said grand children being now minors, a sale
by decree, after proof with costs and commissioners, would

in the penalty of one hundred and fifty dollars, may proceed
to sell the said land at public or private sale, and execute a
deed therefor to the purchaser thereof, and to pass the title
thereof.
