Walter Coomes & Thomas Wharton Coomes vs. Richard Woodward 
23 March-20 May 1773
Christian Milford bounds of a tract of land called Christian Milford, Durham
parish, Chas Co. - Thomas Wharton Coomes and Walter, his brother,
contending to fix their beginning of the resurvey on Christian Milford at a
small stone in an extensive level old Fields near the line of Warren Dent's
land which was proved by  Thomas Perry at a commission executed on the
premises the 28th day of May 1771 and Richard Woodward contending to
establish the beginning of said resurvey at a large stone standing by Dr.
Brown's gate proved by John Barker and which controversy they have agreed to
refer to Francis Ware and Wm. Smallwood, both chosen and appointed
arbitrators by the parties, ......decided no estimoney to establish the
correct boundary of original tract called Christian Milford, now does it
appear from anything which has been exhibited to us that there is any
authentic testimony which  will clearly establish the beginning of the
resurvey; at other than the final, or large stone, above mentioned as will
more fully appear by referring to the depositions taken on land commission
granted unto the above said Coomes and executed 24 May 1771, ald granted to
Rch Woodward 28 April 1772.  -- the said Coomes should make the beginning at
the large stone in as much as they would run less into those surveys which
were made some little time before and afer their resurvey as the presumption
will lye that a much better knowledge of the boundary and courses of the
resurvey was to be had at that time  They would include in their survey from
the large stone a parcel of land lately taken up as Nancanry (Nancancy?) by a
certain William Winter, Jr. whereon their ancestors and they have had a
plantation and the land tended and occupied by their tenants for many years
nor do we find that their title to that part of the land which the abovesaid
Winters took up was ever contested til the present Coomes disclaimed and
attempted to place the beginning of the resurvey at the small stone ...no
damages. ..
