Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Boundary of Maryland The present boundary, however, between Maryland and Virginia, on the Eastern Shore, does not conform to this, but follows Pocomoke Bay from Watkin's Point 'to a short distance up Pocomoke river and runs thence to the Sea by a line inclined to the north of east. Until recently all existing Maps of Maryland and Virginia erroneously placed the north shore of Poco moke Bay so much too far to the north as, in some degree, to conceal this want of conformity with the provisions of the Charter; as upon these Maps, the present boundary between Worcester, Maryland, and Accomac, Virginia, if produced westwardly from Poco moke River to Chesapeake Bay, would pass for almost the whole distance, over the northern portion of Pocomoke Bay. But as the correct topography of this region came to be better developed, these errors became more and more apparent, and gave rise to much uncertainty as to the true location of the line. The time and manner of its early settlement appeared to have been almost forgotten. And the old question of the locality of Watkin's Point was revived; for this point being of no use in the navigation of the Chesa peake, is not known to Pilots, and has only retained its name and importance from its connection with the bounds of the State, and of Somerset County.

This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland and Its Natural Resources The State of Maryland possesses more than ordinary interest on account of its situation, distribution of land and water, and surface configuration. It is the most northern of the Southern States, and is situated between the parallels 37 53' and 39 44' north latitude and the meridians 75 4' and 79 30' west longitude, the exact position of the western boundary being still undetermined. The boundaries of Maryland are based upon both arbitrary locations and geographic features. According to the early grants they were clearly defined, but different interpretations of various restrictions, such as the land hitherto unsettled, and the situation of local points like the first fountain of the Potomac, have led to disputes, some of which are still open. The northern, as well as parts of the eastern, southern and western limits, are conventional lines, of which the best known is the Mason and Dixon Line.

Jeremiah S. Black, Hon. Wm; A. Graham, and Hon. Charles I. Jenkins, Arbitrators Upon the Boundary Line Between the States of Virginia and Maryland Lord Baltimore submitted to the Hopton Grant, and his successors have submitted to what has been done in pur suance of it, without murmur or remonstrance. Maryland Statement, p. 48. The conclusions to be drawn from these transactions are: 1. That the river did not pass, and was not meant to pass by the Maryland charter Of 1632, but remained part of the reserved domain of the king. 2. That even if there be expressions in the charter to that effect, of which the king was advised, the grant, under the facts and circumstances of the case, as to that part of it, is without effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boundary Line Between the States of Maryland Virginia: Before the Board of Arbitrators Under the Act of 1876, Chap.188, this Board of Arbitrators is vested with power so far as Maryland is concerned, (and Virginia hath done the like in her Act of Assembly, ) "to ascertain and determine a true line of boundary between the States." The award to be final and conclusive: Provided, however, that neither the States nor the citizens thereof, shall, by such decision be deprived of any rights and privileges enumerated in the compact between the States, entered into in the year Seventeen Hundred and Eighty-five. To ascertain that true boundary-line, you are possessed of all the functions of the Supreme Court of the United States, and in its determination, will you not be governed by the same general principles of law which that court would deem applicable to such cases? The documentary evidence, furnished by the charters and other state papers; the joint action of the colonies; the legislative proceedings; long continued possession and exercise of jurisdiction; the conventions and compacts; and, where these require secondary testimony, then traditions or that kind of evidence, which is admissible ex necessitate, are the aids upon which reliance is to be made for just and reasonable conclusions.

This document, as your Excellency will perceive, I forward to you by direction of the General Assembly. The clear and indisputable evidence which it will afford you of the frank, conciliatory and friendly disposition of Maryland towards Virginia, and of her determination, in the assertion and maintenance of what she believes to be her rights, to stand upon those right alone - disregarding all puncillio and unsubstantial forms - and the full and explicit manner in which our views on the whole subject in controversy are therein setforth, relieve me from the necessity, in further compliance with the directions of the General Assembly, of amplifying views.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland: Proceedings of the Council of Maryland, 1732-1753 Intimations that the scheme of connecting the northern and southern French possessions in America by a cordon of fortified posts enveloping the British colonies was about to be carried out, and the certainty that a short time would bring about the final struggle for the possession of North America, kept the minds of far-seeing men in a state of constant anxiety. The news, therefore, of the establishment Of a French post at Crown Point in British territory, within three days' march of Albany, was very alarming, and emphasised the importance of keeping the Iroquois tribes friendly to the British as a counterpoise to the Algonkin tribes, or Canada Indians, as they were called, on whom the French placed much reliance. Other troubles there were in abundance; among the rest that old grievance of the over-production Of tobacco, and its consequent low price. Attempts had been more than once made to restrict the pro duction, but without success. Now some of the people took the law into their own hands; and bands of men rode about cutting down the growing plants, so that militia had to be held in readiness to put a stop to such proceedings. The boundary troubles with Pennsylvania also took on an acute form. Although the fortieth parallel of north latitude had been fixed by the charter as the northern boundary of Maryland, William Penn had seized a strip some fifteen miles wide lying south of this boundary, and held on to it with obstinate tenacity. His sons followed their father's policy; and a matter so simple as the determining a parallel Of latitude gave rise to a prodigious chancery suit where the whole issue was so tangled up with chicanery and its usual adjuncts that no man could foretell the issue.
