CC. The deposition of Barton Hungerford Sr, age about 55, who says that about 28 years ago, Mr. John Gwinn and this deponent were walking in the woods between the plantation where Colo. Story lived, and the dwelling of this deponent, and that the afd Mr. Gwinn showed him a bounded white oak and told him it was a bound tree of Mrs. Young's land, and known by the name of Dover, and now in the possession of William Waters, and that it was the northernmost bound tree of sd land, and that he has heard Colo. Story and several other persons say that it was a bound tree of sd land, the afd white oak standing on a piece of level land to the east of a small branch that runs into Petites Cr. This deponent further says that a bounded gum, standing lower down and to the west of sd branch, is a bounded tree of the land this deponent now possesses, and the afd land called Dover, and that Mr. John Gwinn told this deponent that from the afd gum to the white oak made the head line of Mrs. Young's land called Dover.
CC.
