HISTORY OF MARYLAND.
ARMS, WILLIAM PENN.
the inward sides of the same, facing towards the east and towards the north, hath the
arms of the said Thomas Penn and Richard Penn graved thereon, and on the outward
sides of the same facing towards the west and towards the south, hath the arms of the
said Frederick Lord Baltimore graved thereon ; and have also erected and set up in the
said straight or tangent line, from the said place of beginning to the tangent point,
remarkable stones at the end of every mile, each stone at the distance or end of every
five miles, being particularly distinguished by having the arms of the said Frederick
Lord Baltimore graved on the side thereof turning towards the wTest, and the arms of
the said Thomas Penn and Richard Penn graved on the side
thereof turning towards the east, and all the other intermediate
stones are marked with the letter P on the sides facing towards
the east, and with* the letter M on the sides facing towards the
west, and have fixed in the tangent point a stone with the arms
of the said Frederick Lord Baltimore graved on the side facing
towards the west, and with the arms of the said Thomas Penn
and Richard Penn graved on the side facing towards the east.
" 2d. That from the end of the said straight line or tangent
point, we have run out, settled, fixed and determined, a due north
line of the length of five miles one chain and fifty links, to a
parallel of latitude fifteen miles due south of the most southern
part of the city of Philadelphia, which said due north line intersected the said circle drawn
at the distance of twelve English statute miles from the centre of the town of New Castle,
one mile thirty-six chains and five links from the said tangent point, and that in order to
mark and perpetuate the said due north line, we have erected
and set up one unmarked stone at the point where the said
line intersects the said circle, three other stones at a mile distance from each other graved with the letter P on the sides
facing the east, and the letter M on the sides facing the west,
between the said place of intersection of the said circle and the
said parallel of latitude, and a third stone at the point of
intersection of the saic\ north line and parallel of latitude,
which last stone on the sides facing towards the north and
east, hath the arms of the said Thomas Penn and Richard
Penn graved thereon, and on the sides facing towards the
south and west hath the arms of the said Frederick Lord
Baltimore graved thereon.
" 3d. That we have run out, settled, fixed and determined
such part of the said circle as lies westward of the said due north line, and have marked
and perpetuated the same, by setting up and erecting four stones in the periphery thereof,
one of which, at the meridian distance of one mile from the tangent point, is marked with
the letter P on the east and the letter M on the west sides thereof.
"4th. That we have run out, settled, fixed and determined a due east and west
line, beginning at the northern point or end of the said clue north line, being the place of
intersection of the said north line, with the parallel of latitude, at the distance of fifteen
English statute miles due south of the most southern part of the city of Philadelphia,
and have extended the said line, two hundred and eighty miles, eighteen chains and
twenty-one links clue west from the place of beginning; and two hundred and forty-four
miles, thirty-eight chains and thirty-six links due west from the river Delaware; and
should have continued the same to the end of five degrees of longitude, the western bounds
of the Province of Pennsylvania, but the Indians would not permit us. And that we
have marked, described, and perpetuated the said west line, by setting up and erecting
therein stones at the end of every mile, from the place of beginning to the distance of
AEMS, LORD BALTIMORE.
