“Plotted by a scale of 200 poles in an inch. For 50 shillings per hundred

it is pronounced in the same way as bread 'dough.’]

on the waters of the south side Reedy Fork [Reedy Fork Creek dissects the 
entire county of Guilford, but according to the Hughes or Custom House Map,

the triangle formed by Reedy Fork Creek, Long Branch, and Arvin’s Branch. They 
were reported to have crossed the creek at ‘McCuiston’s Bridge] of Haw River, 
beginning at a black gum in William Scott’s line, at or near Gustavus 
McCuistion’s corner near a branch, running thence west crossing two branches,

hundred-twenty-five poles to a white oak, thence east forty-two poles to 
Abraham Whiteside’s corner black oak, thence along his line, north seventy-
three poles to a grub, thence west ninety-two poles to a grub in JOHN WHITE’s 
line, thence south one hundred sixty nine poles to his corner stake, thence 
east twenty-four poles to a white oak sapling in said William Scott’s line, 
south one hundred-thirty poles to the first station. JOSEPH MCDOUGHAL, jun.,
