CHAPTER 88.
AN ACT for the relief of Benjamin Frost, alias
Watus.
|
|
Make valid.
|
WHEREAS, It has been represented to this General
Assembly that a certain Planer Frost died eight-
een years or more ago, leaving his wife, Patience
Frost, and one child, Benjamin Frost alias Watus,
surviving him, and leaving a parcel of land con-
veyed to him, the said Planer, by George Handy,
by deed dated the third day of August eighteen
hundred and thirty, and recorded among the land
records of Somerset County, into the possession of
which, upon said Planer's death, the said Patience
and Benjamin Carne entered ; and whereas the
said Patience is also dead, and the said Benjamin
remains in undisturbed possesssion of said land,
but certain doubts exist as to his right thereto, he
having been a slave at his father's death, whether
the same has not escheated to the State ;
