John F. Smith, William Hancock, William Gaston, Francis Hawks, Richard D.
Spaight, John F. Burgwin, John H. Bryan, Wright C. Stanly, John T. Boyd,
and John P. Davis.

And be it further enacted, That the said trustees be classed as follows,
viz. That the first named eight shall continue in office until the day of
the annual election in the year 1829; the next named eight shall continue
in office until the annual electin in the year 1830; and the last named

And be it further enacted, That if it shall at any time happen that an 
election is not made to fill the places of the trustees whose term of
service has expired, the remaining trustees shall have full power to act 
in the same manner as the whole body could or ought to do.
