CHAPTER XXVII.

An Act to Quiet in the Possession of William Scott Certain Lands Therein 
Described.

Whereas Samuel Scott, deceased, did in the year one thousand seven hundred and 
fifty-three, obtain a grant from Lord Granville's office for six hundred and 
forty acres of land lying on Rich Fork and Reedy Fork, in Guilford county, 
then Rowan county: And whereas it hath been made appear to the satisfaction of 
this General Assembly by sundry affidavits, that through mistake of the 
surveyor the plat returned into the office of the said Lord Granville (and 
which is annexed to the grant) does not by the courses and distances therein 
specified, include the quantity of land conveyed to the said Samuel Scott by 
Lord Granville: And whereas the said Samuel Scott hath since died, and 
bequeathed to his son William Scott the aforesaid tract of land:

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 of this Act, the tract of land lying on Rich Fork and Reedy 
Fork, in Guilford county, formerly Rowan, conveyed by Lord Granville to Samuel 
Scott for six hundred and forty acres, have the following bounds, instead of 
those specified in the conveyance from the said Lord Granville to Samuel 
Scott, viz. Beginning at a white oak corner to number thirteen, running south 
along that line three hundred and twenty poles, thence west three hundred and 
twenty poles, thence north three hundred and twenty poles, thence east three 
hundred and twenty poles, crossing Reedy Fork twice, to the first station; and 
the said William Scott is hereby declared to be invested with as full and 
ample right and title to the lands included within the said lines, as he would 
or might have been, had they been expressly mentioned in the conveyance made 
from Lord Granville to the said Samuel Scott, provided no other person or 
persons have any lawful claim to any part thereof prior to the passing this 
Act.
