REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS Appointed in pursuance of an aft for the arnica- H* settlement cf Limits with the STATE OF GEORGIA, And authorising ike est :bli Ament cf a Gov ernment in tie MISSISSIPPI TEE RI TORY. Depofitt-d by one of the Senators in Congress in the •i-X-cuuve Oiht-t*. ( Continued,) The traeTc designated for the Georgia com pany, was bounded on the north by the 34th degree of north latitude, 00 the raft by the Alabama river, on the wdl and fotuh by the Mobile or Tombigbec, from the Spaniih line to the north esit corner of the lands al ii gneci ro the Georgia Midi dip pi company, by the northern boundary of the laid lands* and by the Milfifsippi j for which they were to pay 250,000 do lars. The Tenndfee company were to pay dollars, for a rract lying between the northern boundary ofthe Rate, and the parallel of lati tude palling by the head spring. of Bear-creek, and counded.on the weft by TenndTee and Bcar-cretrk, and on the eatt by a meridian eroding the lad mentioned parallel, 120 miles east from the luurce of Bear-crcck. And the Upper Mifsifsjppi company were, in consideration of 35,000 dollars, to receive a trafl of 25 miles in breadth, adjoining the northern boundary of the flare, and extending fro i the Mrfsifsippi to TennefTee and Bear creek, its boundaries on the east. Two millions of acres were reserved out of these several trails, for the life of luch citizens of Georgia, as chose to fubfcrlbe on the ori ginal terms of the purchafc : the monies paid by thole citiz-ns to the ftace, being considered as part of the purchase money of the compa nies, in whose territory theyTubfcribed ; ;he quantities thus rdcrvtd out of each trad, being one milhon of acres in the Geqjrgia company ; 620,000 acres in the Georgia Miflifiippi com* pany j 242,000 acres in the Tenneftee com pany; and 12‘d,coo acres in the Upper Mis fiff>ppi company. The price paid bv the citizen*? who did fubferibe, was two cents and one third per acre, it being the price then supposed to have been paid by the companies; which, (500,000 dollar?, being rhe purchaft money,) would give about 21,500,600 acres, for the estimated quantity of land in the four tracts. It was further declared bv the acl, that the lands lying weft ward of iheeaftward boun dary of the kvernl companies purchase, were eftimared at one third of the lands within the purchase ; and ware luppoftd to contain 7,250,000 acres, which would give 2!,750,000 acres, for the quantity intended to be fold.— The land contained within thole purchaies, amounts, however, to near 35 millions of acres; and the prefect claimants ellimate the quantity at near 40 millions of acres. The several companies did, it is underflood, pay the purchase money, and obtained grants horn the governor of Georgia, for the several cradts defigrated in the law : the lands have since pafied through several hands, and ft far as h is come within the knowledge of the com* mifsicners, the title derived from the grants appears to now held in the following manner : The whole granted to the Georgia Mifsibippi company, was divided into sixteen ‘hundred equal undivided Bures; and the pre lident and dire&ors of the company, in Jan uary, 1796, fold the whole, with the exception of tne 6:07000 acres, reserved for citizens’ fab 'icriptions, 16 certain individuals in MafLvchu- Iciis, wio style thenilelves the New England , Miss fsippi company The title has been conveyed to iru.tees, for the use of the com pary, which con lifts of 2.276 tqu'al snares. It is urged by iundry alfociates or sharers of the original Mifiiffippi company, that they have not been paid, and that they are ftdi entitled to a portion of the land. The trad granted to the Upper MtfOniippi company, appears to be divided into twelve equal undivided ftiares, and to be unemang led miliant claims. The tract granted to the TennefTee com pany, by the grantees, Mathias Maher and Zachariah Ccxe, divided into 240 equal flu res. Several hundred thousand acres are Twelve and a halt Cents finale. o besides, claimed under deeds, signed by Z. Coxe alone, and which appear to be cxclufivel v ot the (hares which he held. The grea er part ofthe crginal. (lures which he held by trufttes, for the use of the proprietors. 1 l,e Georgia co ripary consisted of ten ftures exciufively of a number of fub-(hares and fnares, which have been either puc ha fed in by the company, or ablorbed ot ttie payment o” certain tracts foid by them. Thst company, however, no longer exists, hvirg fold the greater part of the territory >Y metes bounds; and surrendered the ivina.narr to the state Georgia. laltead, therefore, of being held by trullecs, or >ndi vaded snares, the lands originally assigned to t..at company, are claimed Oy fever,*! indi viduals, eac h claiming diftmffc tracls in rfieir own name. 1 here is a numbe. of uniiunc ciaincs in that pare of the traft whi n lies between the Alabama and Fombighee rivers, louth of the parallel 33* 20 1 of norrh lati tude. On the 13th day of February, 1796, the Leg flature of Georgia patted an act, (L) declaring the a6t of the 7th January, *795* abovementioned, null and void, as having been obtained by fraud and corruption; di recting all records of grar.ts or conveyances relating to the sale, robe expunged ; forbid ding the recording, thcreate r, of any such conveyances or contracts. The document (F) contains the evidence on which the le giftature adted. By the articles of agreement‘of the Geor gia company, and the schedule thereunto annexed, bearing date ift and loth January, 1795, a copy of which (B No. 9) was trinf mirted to the committioners amongst other documents, by the attornies of Hugh Rofc and Valentine Jones, two of the claimants under that company, ic appears that the company hid dTpofedof a confi ierable quanti ty of the Ends they intended to purchase, to divers persons (whose names with the amount m dollars paid by each, appear in the fche dulej for the purpose of raising a fund to effedt the purchase of the lands; and that they had also found it necessary to distribute to a va riety of citizens of the state, certain sub-shares or quantities of land, in order that the bene fit lhould be as generally difFufed as poftibler By the form of the sub ihare (C) it appears that the holders were entitled to a certain quantity of land, vviihout making any imedi are payment, but on paying within seven months v/hai was supposed the original pur chase mony : viz. two cents and a third of a cent per acre. A companion of .he schedule annexed to the articles, and which is declared to be a pu t of the agreement, with the yeas end navs on the pTiuge ofthe .act, authorizing the la!e, (E) fhovts that all .'he members, both in the lenate and houlc, who vrmd in favor or’ the law, were, with one single e; ceptior (Robert Watkins, whose name does not t.p ear; intrr efted in, and parries to the purchase. The articles of agreement, and lift ofaftoci ates of theTenefiec company,which-have 1 voluntarily furniihed by one of the trultees, (hows that a number of members of the ieg flature were also interested in that coiupa iy. I: is also proper to state, that all the deeds given by the companies, which have been exhibited to the committioners, as web as all the subsequent deeds, with only rwo or three exceptions, not only give a fpeciai, in stead of a general warrantee, but have also a special covenant, in the following words : “ And lailly it is covenanted, and exprcfsly <( agreed and understood, by and betu een ff the parties, to these prefems, that neither <s the grantors aforefaid, nor their heirs, exe “ tors, or adniiniftrators, fliall be held to any* fc further or other warrantee, than is herein ec before expreffrd, nor liable to the refund ing of any money, in conlequencc #f any <c defed in their title, from the Stace of Geor <f gia, if any such there hereafter ap “ pear to be.” The ate of Georgia, of the igrh February, 1796, as well as several fb( queat a6ts, nad made provision for the. repayment ot the money, depofi.ed as the corfideration of the purchaie; and the document (G) shows that 3!^,695 dollars and fifteen cents, have been withdrawn under chose laws. The com m: ill oners have not been able to procure the evidence, on which thole sums were paid ; it is however, understood, that supposing the trtfe from Georgia to have been valid* not more than avc or fix millions of acres have NUMBER 69*
