This day came before me THOMAS FOXHALL aged thirty seven years old and being first sworn on the holy evangelist saith that on yesterday some few hours before WILLIAM BRYANT died he heard him say that he gave to his son SMITH BRYANT a piece of land lying on Fishing Creek and below the road that Crosses at his landing. Beginning at a Mulberry tree just below the landing and running along the road to the back line and down the said line to the creek. And he gave to his son ARTHUR BRYANT a piece of land.
