assigned the same to a certain George McCormick, who being so entitled, and holding the said assignments,
delivered the same to David Clark, surveyor of said county, for the purpose of making a survey of the said
land; that a survey was made thereof by the said surveyor in the name of said George McCormick, which said
surveyor made a certificate thereof, wherein the said land was called McCormick's Froiick, which certificate was
returned to the land-office and is now remaining there; and that the said George McCormick, afterwards, for a
valuable consideration, assigned his interest in said certificate to him the said John Norris; that the said two
