                  CHAP. LVI
An act for the relief of the heirs of John Webb,
                 deceased

  Whereas it appears to this General Assembly that
on the twenty fifth day of May, seventeen hundred
and eighty four, John Webb made two en-
tries in John Armstrong's office for two thousand five
hundred acres each, one of number two thousand five
hundred and forty five, and the other of number two
thousand five hundred and forty eight, both in Greene
county on the waters of the Mississippi river, for
which entries the consideration money was fairly
paid and warrants issued thereupon, on the twelfth
day of January seventeen hundred and eighty five --
and whereas it appears that the above recited war=
rants have been so lost or mislaid, that the rightful
owners thereof cannot derive any benefit from said

warrants and as by reference to the books, it will
clearly appear that no grant or grants have ever is-
sued on the before mentioned warrants.  Therefore

  Sec.  1. Be it enacted by the General As-
sembly fo the state of Tennessee, That the com-
missioner of East Tennessee is hereby directed to is-
sue to George and Joseph Greenway, the only
heirs and legal representatives of the said John
Webb deceased, duplicate land warrants to the a-
mount of five thousand acres, in such parts and par-
cels as they may direct, expressing in the face of said
duplicate warrants the same are to be satisfied in the 
tract west and south of the congressional reservat-
ion

  Sec. 2. Be it enacted, That this act shall not in
any wise affect the title of any person or persons
claiming or to claim as assignee or assignees of said
John Webb, deceased, or of his legal representa-
tives in virtue of said original warrants or either of 
them.

                          TH. CLAIBORNE,
            Speaker of the House of Representatives.
                          ROBERT C. fOSTER,
