In like manner the line between; lis
and Virginia; is now again in dispute. It
is this, last line . that has given us most
trouble, . The Virginians of. ye .olden
time were very lordly and claimed - the

they practiced all the arts of, statesman--

availed thejr. would have taken in a good

were themselves a stiffpecked genef atioh J
and bcwacBtncy were, not to be ,ut
witted by our friends across the border;
There . was -'always trouble about the
starting! point; and then the Virginians
either had bad instruments or did not
know how ' to use them, so that the
commissioners and surveyors could never
agree. ; Besides our neighbors appear to
have bad no particular information,in re

a line .due west according'

eventually, ? after ' many ' fruillcss
attempts tO adjust ; differences, a fair
basis was agreed upon and the line was
run, much : to the discomfiture of our
magnificent friends with their big claims
and to the great satisfatftion of the Caro-

by that name, Curratuck being a large

Was meant the Bay : but thai not bavin
been duly insisted on tbe Inlet in lime
began to be reputed the Bounds ; and
the Northwest river, and Channel up to
it, was piequiesced in as natural bounds,
Which left all Nott's Island in Virginia
kfi the Southward of the Inlett. But the
Governor of Virginia afterwards granted
patents: to the Southward of the said
River where they thought it to the
'Northward of a west line from the line
from the Inlet, Viz : towards the head
of the River up to the Diamall or the
great Fercosan, on the Westerly 01
which I'ercosan the bounds remained
unfixed ; and Great Debates were about
Wyondke Creek, to which the line
was to run, the Government of Vir
ginia pretending it was a Creek,
since -vcalled Wiccons, and Caro
lina claiming it to be a place called
Nottoway. Commissioners were ap
itA by both governments to settle
the matter and Depositions taken on
both sides concerning the Wyonoke In
dians who at different times lived at
both places, but no satisfaction being
that way obtained and the observa
tions made to find the latitude differing
as widely, the Virginia Commis's mak-
ins the latitude of Wiccons to be 3640'
and Nottoway to be 37 or 3710, this
egregious error (as it since, is demon
s t rated to be) broke on the conterence,not
without some warmth and undue reflec
tions nmade on it by V lrginia. And
sometime after the two Governors
vizt. Col. Spottswood, Lt. Gevr
of Va, and Col Eden Govo of Caro
lina had an interview upon it, meet
ing at Nansemond, ant1 agreed as Cer
tain Proposals about the Boundaries
which was interchangeably signed and
submitted to his Majesty for his Royal
approbation and the 1 rue and Absolute
Lords Proprietors for their assent,
which beine only considered of by the
Lords Proprietors was approved and or-
ders Bent over by them in the year 1723
to the Governor of Carolina to pro-
ceed and run the line pursuant to
the said Proposals ofwhich notice being
given to the Government of Virginia,
they returned for answer that they had not
received the Jvingfs instructions about
it; and so the matter rested till the year
1727, when the Honorable Sir Richard
Everard, Barft, Governor of Carolina,
received a letter from the Governor tof
Virginia, acquainting him that he had
received orders from the King to have
the line run between the two govern
ments.
The line was to be run according to the
Proposal of the two Governors, of which
the following is an extracts
"forasmuch as the disputes between
the Said two governments abaut their
truei limits continue still, notwithstand
ine the several meetings of the
eomlnissieners and all the proceedings
of many years past, in order to adjust
that anair, and seeing no speedy deter
minations like to ensue unless some
medium be found out in which both
parties may . incline to acquiese, &e
&o.i propose as follows :
"That from the' mouth of Curratuck
River or Inlett and setting the compass
on the north shore thereof a due west
line; be run and fairly marked,; and if it
happen to cutt Chowan River between
the mouths of JN otto way and Wiccons
creek' then shall the same direct course
be continued towards the -Mountains,
I ani be ever deemed the dividing line
between Virginia and Carolina."
The Governor of Carolina on the re
ceibt hereof was nleased to nominate
Christopher Gale, chief justice; Jojan
Lovrick,.iisq., sec'y; Jfid. Mosely, Esq.,
kurvevor-ireneraL and Wm. Little. Ksn

mis. made proper and courteous reply--
saying : v e snail also be glad to
know what instruments you intend to
U80 to observe the latitude and find the
variation of the compass with in order
to fix a due west line, for we are told
that the last time the commissioners
met their instruments varied sev
eral minutes which we hope
will net happen again, nor any
other aimoulty that .may occasion any
Disappointment or delay after we have
been at the trouble of meeting in so re

Gentlemen, whether to thank you for
tbe particulars you give us of your tent,

'we had not wanted an excuse for not
meeting' you in the same manner, but
how you force us to expose the naked

our great respect to you would make us
glad to do, whom wo are not emulous
of outdoing unless in care and diligeuoe

that we will endeavor to provide as well

; In this letter, continues the report,
the Com'rs of Carolina took care
j t0 mention the aUowance (ox tbe varia-
tions of the compass as a thing taken
for granted and not disputable though it
was much feared it wenld be and was
one reason for desiring the previous con
ference to agree about, without ; which
the line would hv been run to the
southward of a due west line and 20 to
the loss of Carolina and was a point of
too muoh consequence to leave wholly
till the commissioners met on the spot,
and thip letter had its desired effect for it
brought on the matter to be debated by
the Government of Virginia and finding
Carolina to take it as not disputable
they thought it too unreasonable to de
ny and ordered the commission tO be
made accordingly.
In the last of February 1(2 tae com
missioners set off and met the Virginia
commissioners at Curratuck the: Fifth
day of March at the Inlet, but
some
being prevented b the weather nothing
was done on thatay, but at ntght the
Variation was taken by the North Star :
namely when the North S ar and the 4th
in the Great Bear come on the meridian
together or on a perpendicular,
which was done by a line hanging per
pendicular at the end of a pole and a
moveable light at some distance on the
ground to range at at the same, time in
the line and afterwards that light re
maining fixed and the perpendicular
line set by the compass and the variance
of that from the needle is the variation,
which was found about 3; ' and the
sun's amplitude the next morning made
it much the same; and so again when
the North star was observed the second
night;, so that was agreed on to be the
variation of the compass. 1 he latitude
too was Observed and found to be about
36 and 31m
The next morning all the commission
ers being present the commissions were
duly opened. There was a debate aboujt
the first Btation to sett off at, the place
being a little altered since the proposals
were made. So depositions were taken
of the neighboring people, ibursday
March 7th. A cedar post was fixed in the
sand on the north side of the inlet for the
first station and a due west line; set out,
vizt: by the compass No. o7 W., and
that day the line was rnn as far as Nott's
Island, about 20 rods to tho Northward
of Wicker's House, and so cross the
Island to the Marsh,1 leaving about 350
acres upland of the Island . in Virginia
and two families; the rest of the Island.
taken into Carolina, which is about
miles , lone : and also Jones' Island
joining to it, whieh contains about 2,000
acres and about half a score of families
thereby taken into Carolina : that were
before in Virginia
March o. This day the line was run'
from Nott's Island through the Marsh
and a part of Back Bay to -the main,
leaving a little of the Marsh to the
Northward, but the greatest part taken
into Carolina, of which, though some
acres, little surveyed as could be learned,
only some by Capt. White and about
540 acres by Mr. Morse. The main
here is a point of land made by Back
Bay and North River, being about a
mile and a half over, and the ; way out
by the line near two miles from the end
of the point, leaving about 5 or six
families to the Southward that had been
reputed Virginians.
Saturday, March 9: The line was
continued across the point of I'rihocss

the northward o 'ilichard Jv-lan-.i a

reputed bounds.

easterly toward Northern's house, being
about a mile to the northward of Mo
