             years & a half touching the division between that part of Paschalls Purchase
             that was W.m Sivicks & y.t part of the same Land that was Abraham Nailors

       The Depo.t being duely sworn upon the holy Evangelist saith that he was put to hire with the
       s.d W.m Sivick as an Orphan Child very young not above 3 years old as this Depo.t has been
       informed & that he lives with the s.d Will.m Sivick upon the s.d Land during ^his^ the s.d Sivicks Life

       Sivick his Son's life and after that until this Depo.t was 22 years old and this Depo.t very
       well remembers a marked Line to have passed from the Creek side into the
       Woods to the Westward and that that End towards Side leads to a bounded Locust

       on the South Side of a hill that the s.d Line he hath often been informed

       W.m Sivicks side thereof & was never forbid to do the same either by the s.d Abraham
       Nailor nor by any other person Owners of the s.d Land during the time this
       Depo.t lived upon the same nor did this Depo.t know of any other bounds
       of the s.d Land to be between the said William Sivick and the s.d Abraham
       Nailor than what he hath above menconed until about five
                                                                                                             years
