Being under the impression that this Grant is younger than any that it adjoins I have been careful to follow the boundaries mentioned. I have the Courses differ from those Call'd for in the Original which might have been Occasioned by a Bad instrument or Carelesness [sic] in the former Surveyor. On an open line where he call'd for vaca[nt] Land I found a mark'd line. Whether older than this grant or not, I thought proper to Gover [sic] myself by it.
