Many of the settlers on the lands of Lord Fairfax selected their farms and made improvements without any legal survey, warrant or title, other than a "tomahawk blaze" for a boundary mark, trusting that the actual owner of the land would recognize the improvement and occupant's claim and deal justly by them. These "tomahawk claims" were respected by the actual settlers, had a market value among land speculators and were admitted, to a certain extent, as evidence of rights in the courts.] Fryday April y^e 1^{st} 1748 This Morning Shot twice at Wild Turkies but killd none run of three Lots & returned to Camp Saterday April 2^d Last Night was a blowing & Rainy night Our Straw catch'd a Fire y^t we were laying upon & was luckily Preserv'd by one of our Mens awaking when it was in a @@whitespace@@ we run of four Lots this Day which Reached below Stumps April 2^d Lot y^e 9^{th} Begining at Chesnut Oak on y^e Mountain side corner to Lot 8^{th} & Running along y^e Line thereof S^o 55 E^t 244 po to 3 Chesnut Oaks on a Steep Side thence N^o 35 E^t 262 po to 2 Chesnut Oaks & a White Oak thence N^o 65 E^t 80 to y^e Low G: 126 po to y^e Fork 244 po to a Hickory at y^e Foot of the Mountain thence to y^e Beginning S^o 35 W^t 262 po this Lot is very Good
