SURVEYORS CERTIFICATE.
"We James Clinton, of Ulster County, in the
Province of New York, and Anthony Dennis of Monmouth County in the
Province of New Jersey, Surveyors employed by the Commissioners appointed
by Acts of the Assembly of the said Provinces for ascertaining and marking
the Partition line between the said colonies Do certify that we have run
the said Partition line with the utmost care and exactness we were capable
of. That in Running Said Line we found in several parts thereof the needle
attracted which we corrected by staking, That from the Station Rock marked
on the west side of Hudson's River, in the latitude of Fortyone Degrees to
the fork or branch formed by the junction of the-stream or waters called
the Machackamack with the River called Delaware or Fishkill the course
according to the best of our judgement is North Fifty-four Degrees and
Forty minutes West as the Magnetic needle now points, and that the
distance between the two stations is Fortyeight miles and Thirty-eight
Chains. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seals the
twenty-sixth day of November, in the year of Our Lord one thousand seven
hundred and seventy-four.
