the way to the Beach and pine Ridge John Turpin to Cutt two hundred Yards
of the Like Ditch to which he agreed in part thereof   That then the new road
proposed will be much Preferable to ^the^ Old ones so far as the said Ridge
and from thence we propose a new Road ^different from any now in being till it Intersects the Old Road^ between John Watters plantation and
the head of Halls Creek on the South side aforesd neck   Provided John and William
Watters Comply with their Promise as Follows John Watters to Cutt a ditch of the

Equall to Such a Ditch and that W.m Watters do the same through the
Lowest part of his Land and that Each of them Cut or Cause to be Cutt
two hundred Yards of the Like ditch along the Intended New road and
Further that a new road from the place afd on said Ridge Diferent from

of the old Road at the head of Maddoxs Creek and from thence the former
old Road to Continue down the Neck Which we Conceive will be much more
Agreable to the Inhabitants of said Neck then the old roads now in being
