Description
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Ohio. The bill in equity filed in this cause, by the appellant, McArthur, stated, that George Mathews, on the 19th of September 1799, made the following entry with the surveyor of the Virginia army lands: 'No. 3717: 1799, September 19th. George Mathews, assignee, enters 1000 acres of land, on part of a military-warrant, No. 4795, on Deer creek, beginning where the upper line of Ralph Morgan's entry, No. 3665, crosses the creek, running with Morgan's line, on each side of the creek, 200 poles; thence up the creek 400 poles, on a direct line, thence from each side of the given line, with the upper line, at right angles with the side lines, for quantity.' That afterwards, the entry of Ralph Morgan was withdrawn; and that, in consequence, George Mathews made the following entry: 'No. 3717: 1801, October 26th. George Mathews, assignee, enters 1000 acres of land on part of a military-warrant, No. 4795, on Deer creek, beginning at two elms on the south-west bank of the creek, upper corner to Henry Mossies' survey, No. 3925, running south 45° west, 120 poles, north 65° west, 172 poles, north 17° west, 320 poles, north 76° east, 485 poles, thence south 1° west, 292 poles, thence to the beginning.' The bill charged, that the last entry was not intended as a new one; but only as an amendment or explanation of the first. This last entry was surveyed the 7th of October, 1807: and upon an assignment to the complainant, the land embraced in the survey was patented to the plaintiff, the 6th of July 1806.
