Granted to Conrod Karlock on June 20, 1785

220 acres in Washington County, VA on the waters of the middle fork of Holstein River

Certificate in Right of Settlement

Survey Date: December 22, 1782

Beginning at
2 black oak
on a ridge
running thence
S 55° W 36 poles [Robert Cleghorn's line, N 70° E 26 poles (equivalent to S 70° W 26 poles) appears to be the same line, but with adjustment of the angle by 15° and length by 10 poles, the Cleghorn survey was done in 1789]
to a white oak
near the Lewis house path
S 82° W 68 poles [the Cleghorn tract does not share this line, I have not located any grant to the land on the opposite side of this line}
to a white oak
near Aaron Lewis line
and with said line
N 27° W 62 poles [ I have not located any grant to the land on the opposite side of this line]
to a white oak and 2 black oaks
N 60° W 40 poles [matches Aaron Lewis 400 acre line]
to a white oak and 2 poplars
N 5° W 117 poles [angle matches Aaron Lewis 400 acre line, but his line is only 44 poles, Karlock line continues north after the the Lewis line ends]
to 3 white oak
on Thomas Bates [or Baker?] line
and with his line
N 66° E 90 poles [I have not found an adjacent tract sharing this line]
to 3 white oaks
on the top of a high ridge
leaving Bates [or Bakers?] line
and running thence
S 87° E 90 poles [I have not found an adjacent tract sharing this line]
to a white oak
on the ridge above the meeting house
S 10° E 90 poles [angle matches Robert Cleghorn line, but his line is 82 poles, and was surveyed in 1789, suggesting that an adjustment was made between the time of the two surveys, 1782 and 1789]
to a white oak
S 29° E 56 poles [angle matches Robert Cleghorn, but his line is 52 poles]
to 3 white oaks on a ridge
S 38° W 46 poles [angle matches Robert Cleghorn, but his line is 44 poles]
to a white [oak?]
by the Pasture [fence and] Branch [Cleghorn survey describes this point as "by a branch and the pasture fence"]
and from thence
S 43° W 32 poles [matches Robert Cleghorn line]
to the beginning
