CHAPTER LVI.

An Act to Vest the title of a Piece or Parcel of Land, in Granville County, in 
James Forsyth, and His Heirs in Fee Simple.

Whereas, it appears to the satisfaction of this General Assembly, that James 
Forsyth did purchase a bond given by Henry Eustace M'Culloh to Alexander 
Jones, bearing date the 28th day of July, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-
three, for a title to a certain tract or parcel of land in Granville county, 
known by the name of Holden's place, containing two hundred acres, which said 
bond was assigned over to Robert Harris, and from Robert Harris to James Cash, 
and from James Cash to James Forsyth; the said land is butted and bounded as 
follows, to-wit: Beginning at a stake, Wallace's corner, thence running west 
two hundred and forty poles to a stake in Philip's line, thence south two 
hundred poles to a stake in Jones's line, thence north sixty-five degrees east 
two hundred and seven poles to a pine, Bottom's corner, then north seventy-
five degrees east one hundred and twenty-three poles to the first station; and 
the said Alexander Jones did in good faith pay unto the said Henry Eustace 
M'Culloh the purchase money for the said land; and the said Henry Eustace 
M'Culloh having since the sale withdrawn himself from this and the United 
States, and his estate by law hath been confiscated, and hath made no 
conveyance to the said Alexander Jones to vest the said land in him and his 
heirs in fee simple, by which means he has not been able to make good and 
lawful titles to those whom he hath since sold the same.

I. Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North 
Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That from and 
after the passing this Act, the said two hundred acres of land is declared to 
be vested in fee simple in James Forsyth, his heirs and assigns forever, in as 
full and ample manner as if the same had been legally conveyed by Henry 
Eustace M'Culloh to Alexander Jones, and from Alexander Jones to Robert 
Harris, and from Robert Harris to James Cash, and from James Cash to the said 
James Forsyth; any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
