A PROCLAMATION .
WHEREAS In and by an aft, pafifcd
ihc z 5 h day of June inst. entitled
t( An aft r;> difp:»fe of and diltribete the Intc
<■ ccffioo of lands obtained from tbs Crttfk
Nation, by the United Sistfs, in 2 treaty
*f concluded at the city of Washington, on
f‘ the f.iarteenth day of November, one
(i thouftnd eight hundred and five,” the
Governor Is required ** forthwith to idee his
« proclamation and cause the farre to be
« (jubliihed in one of the Gazettes of the
t( Cities of Savannah and Aagufta, and in
*< thofc of I/wifvillr, Spart?, Wafliington
*r and P’terlb itgh, Acting forth the oat
il lines of this a«5l; and requiring all persons
“interc'kd thenin, to exhibit their claims
« in the counties of their refptftive rdidence.”
I have therefore thought proper to ififue
this my proclamation, in order to mnke
kn iytr\ the outlines of the afore-recited aft,
which are.as after mentioned, to wit ;
The tmitory to which the Indian title
h?t been extinguisher!, by the treaty conclu
ded «t the city of Washington as aforefaid,
and for the disposing of and diftributiag
which, the afore-recited aft, was palled, is
to belaid oft in the following manner •
The line dividing the counties of Baldwin
and VVtlkinfon is to be extended feuth fer
,li ry. five degrees weft, to the Ocrnalgce ri
<fvsr;” and all that part of fasd territory
which lies above said line, is to be attached
to, and con Sieved as a part of the county
of Baldwin ; and tint part below faiilinc,
except the reserve made in the aforefaid trea
ty* is to be attached to, and ccnfiJcred as a
p irt of the county of WilUinfon. The
whole territory afarefaid is to be divided in
to thirty.eight dill lifts, as nearly equal in
size as they can be conveniently made, by
ri nning psrahel lines fouth forty-five degrees
Weft,v and others intcrafting them at right
angles ; tire lard contained in the several
diU rifts, except the re for ve aforefaid, is to
he divided by lines running parallel with
the lines dividing Ibid diftrifts, and others
crowing them at right ,tng!v«, so as to form
treft , (forty-ri vc chains fquart) to contain
two hundred two and an half acres each.
The fraft’ona! parts of surveys which may
be occtfi.med in each diftrift, by the natural
or artificial boundaries of (aid territory, are
to be fee apart for the redemption of the
public debt, under the direftion of a future
L*gifla!urc.
The Surveyors appointed to mftte the fur
▼cys in the several diftrifts as afarefaid, are
to give bond for the faithful difeharge of the
duties required of them by the aft afore-re
cited, in the penalty of ten ihoufand dollars
each, parable to the Governor for the time
being, or his fuccftlbrs in effi e, with filch
Tenuity as may be approved of by him, or
a majority of the Justices of the Inferior
Courts of the refpeftive counties where the
said Surveyors may reside , which bonds arc
to be taken by the Governor, or the aforc-
T.iid Justices, and dtpofited in the Executive
Office.
The surveyors aforefaid are to make the
surveys of their refpeftive diftrifts in their
c< own proper peffon”—-(hey are immedi
ately after the boundary and diftrift lines

veyor General may direst) and all rivers,
creek':, and other water coarfes which may
bo touched upon cr crofted in running or
mes Turing any of the lines aforefaid ; trar.
&ripc» of which fiftd bork% after being ex
amined with the originalay ny the surveyor
general, and certified and ligned on -every
page by th« rifpeftive surveyors returning
the fame, are to be Jcpofitrd in the Survey
or. General's office—they arc ta furoifh the
Surveyor■ General, wit bin ninety days sf.-
ter the running of the boundary and diftrift
lines as aforefaid, with maps of their refpcc
tivc diftrifts, in which (ball be correftly
delineated; represented and numbered, in
f«ch o;dcr ss the Surveycr-General may
preferibe, all the surveys within the said fe
vcr;ii diftrifts, and, at the fame time, with
detached phots of such surveys, certified and
ttgr.fd by them refpeftively—and they are
to conform tofuch instructions, not milita
ting with the aft Ktore.recited, as they may
receive from the Surveyor-General, from time
'to time, during rhdr continuance in office,
aud while executing the duties thereof.
The surveys containing two hur.drtdTVo
and an half acres, as aforefaid, are to uc
diftdbuted a lottery, in which persons
are robe entitled to draws as afret mention
ed, to wit :—Every free m ile white petfon,
