Beginning at a Gum at A corner to the land lately purchased by ____ from Matthew Courton and with a line of the same S47 E 148 poles to a dead W Oak, thence a new line N34 E 50 poles to a White Oak corner to ____ Hill, thence with Hills line N31 W 128 to a White Oak, Hills corner on the River, thence up on the River 90 poles to the Beginning containing 60 acres.
