_ Whereas, there lies in the James River, within fifteen hundred feet
of its channel and wholly within the boundaries of Prince George County,
Virginia, a certain island which was produced largely by accretion; and

Whereas, the said island for more than one hundred years has been
known as and considered a part of Colgin Point Farm, which during said
period of time has been held solely by J. W. Enochs and his predecessors

e; an
Whereas, Chapter 5 of Title 41 of the Code of Virginia provided a

therefore, |

taining and accretions heretofore or hereafter occurring lying and being
in Blackwater District, Prince George County, Virginia, described as
ollows:

“All that certain land lying above low water line in the James River
described with reference to a traverse or survey line as beginning at a
point on a concrete monument the coordinates of which are 356, 341. 77N
& 2, 383, 353.88 E; thence S 57° 01’ 25”E for a distance of 209.91’ to a

ginning at Point X. Said traverse or survey line does not encompass the
entire parcel of land, said land extending from said traverse or survey line
to low water line as aforesaid; except that the last leg (188.02’) of the
above described traverse or survey line, as extended from both ends of
such leg along its described course to low water line, is extended to be and
is the easterly boundary of said parcel of land.’

Such deed shall be in form approved by the Attorney General.
