       Depositions for Ambrose Kennement
                      Dec.r 10.th 1698

       By virtue of a Comission to Us directed from y.e Court of
       Chancery  We have Called before Us John Newman of
       Talbot County plant.r aged about fifty Six years in perfect
       health & did make oath before Us yt about thirty three or thirty
       four years ago he put in for a Cropp with one John Knight
       y.t lived upon a piece of Land in Keeds Creek in S.t Michaells
       River in Talbot County  And as he was clearing a piece of
       Ground y.e s.d John Knight came to him & shewed him a bounded
       Tree & cautioned him not to fall y.e s.d Tree telling him it was
       his bounded Tree wch to y.e best of his remembrance was
       a Cedar but what was y.e name of y.e tract of Land y.t
       John Knight then lived on or wch was y.e then reputed
       Mouth of Keeds Creek this Dep.t knoweth not but go to
       y.e place where y.e s.d bounded Tree stood this Dep.t knoweth
       very well remembreth y.t it stood upon y.e lower side of a
       Marsh near a piece of clear Ground where then stood a
       tobacco house & farther saith y.t being lately upon y.e s.d Land
       y.t formerly belonged to & was in y.e possession of y.e s.d John
       Knight he saw y.e Post of a tobacco house & doth verily
       believe these posts to be y.e afd bounded tree wch he was cautioned
       not to cut down & y.t y.e s.d tree bore something up y.e Creek
       from y.e s.d house wch this Dep.t thinks was to y.e norward of
       afd tobacco house  And farther this Dept saith That
       there was a Cove between y.e s.d Land y.t he cleared for
                                                                                     John
