State of North Carolina
Beaufort County

William Orrell Esq. appeared before me Edwd [Quin] Esq. one of the Justices of 
the Peace, for the County aforesaid, and made Oath on the Holy Evangelists of 
Almighty God, that some time during the lives of Richard Blackledge and 
Grissom Floyd when some dificulty had arisen relative to the boundaries of 
their Lands on Blounts Creek Vizt the land which is described as Surveyed 
before and the lands now owned by Wm Blackledge or Everard Hall Esqr. he was 
called in and Impowered by Each to make the line of demarkation between them 
so as to prevent further disputes between them, — In conformity to their 
Mutual wishes, he the said William Orrell, did proceed to fix the boundaries 
for each the said Grissom Floyd c[l]aiming to the Southwards or beyond the 
branch emptying into the Pasture creek, and Blackledge claiming on, or beyond, 
on the other side of said creek or branch.  To do to each as much Justice as 
possible, he the said William Orrell — Began the bounds of the Dupee or Floyd 
lands at the point commonly Called the Pasture point the Spot where the Survey 
began by Miles Chauncey for Mr Floy[d] & Jo B Hinton on the 21st day of febry 
1811 and runing the lines pointed out by the sd Orrell, all the way to the 
mouth of the said pasture Creek, as described in the survey that day made 
which survey so far as from the beginning to the mouth of the said Creek was 
made conformable to direction that the said Orrell, that day gave which line, 
all the way, he the said Orrell doth Verily believe to be correct or nearly so 
for that Land Vizt the Floyd or dupea lands — Surveyed that day 
abovementioned, the lines as that day run gave perfect satisfaction, or so 
nearly so that when so pointed Out, at the request above alluded to, that he 
the said Orrell believed, no more disputes, after that demarkation took place, 
between the said Richard Blackledge and Grissom Floyd or if any such took 
place, he knew of none for both Blackledge & Floyd, after that, confined 
themselves to each Others side of the said line, and there contented 
themselves to work since which time no dispute has arisen, between the Owners 
of the lands, afsd., that he has known of, but that he believes all parties 
have been contented with the said line which line as run by said Miles 
Chauncey for Wesley Floyd and JB Hinton, Was as nearly or quite correct as 
pointed Out formerly to the Said Grissom Floyd & Blackledge he the said Orrell 
being with them & pointing out the line on the way so as to confine Each on 
his Own side of the Branch afsd which line the said Orrell thinks the [e]
quitable boundary line, and further the said William Orrell deposeth & Saith 
that the begining that day Started from,  Viz (by Miles Chauncey) is to the 
best of his recollection, the spot or nearly so, which James Brooks allways 
claimed and contended as the Pasture point begining of the said Lands & that 
he has heard the said James Brooks say he had taken pains to procure the best 
Information that the case would admit of to ascertain that fact Viz. the 
begining of the Dupee or Rigney Lands, and that the result of his the said 
James Brooks had led him to know that, that beginning was the proper One to 
this Land and further that the said William Orrell, has not reason to believe 
to the contrary, but on the reverse, has generally supposed that to be the 
begining of the said Dupee lands and further this Deponant saith not.  Sworn 
to & Subscribed in the presence of this 17th day Septemr 1811 at Washington.
