Commission |
June 5, 1761: Daniel
Massey, Augustine Boyer, James Pearce and George Pearce of Kent County
in Maryland are made members of a commission set up to re-establish the
boundaries of a tract known as Mitchells Chance. Depositions were
taken from (1) William Sanders, age 55, who provided hearsay evidence
from his brother Thomas Sanders, about the activity of one Thomas Jones,
and about the adjoining tract, Pryors Neglect; and (2) Abraham Fowler,
age 36, who provided similar evidence heard from Jacob Caulk. Daniel
Massey and James Pearce signed the commission's opinion that the
boundary markers between Mitchells Chance and Pryors Neglect were proven
by the two witnesses. Simon Wilmer is Chief Justice of the court;
Dennis Delany the Kent County clerk, and William Rasin qualified James
Pearce. Michael Carman produced the two witnesses to the
commission. |
