1. That from and after the fifteenth day of the present month of June, the counties of Greene and Hawkins shall be circumscribed by a line beginning on Nolichucky River at the same place where the ridge which divides the waters of Bent and Lick Creek strikes it; thence with that ridge to Bull's Gap of Bay's Mountain; thence a direct line to the place where the road that leads from Dodson's ford to Perkin's iron works crosses the watry fork of Bent creek; thence down the road to the head of Panther creek down the meanders of that creek to the river Holston; thence a northwest course to the river Clinch; again from Nolichucky River where the ridge that divides the waters of Bent and Lick creek strikes it, a direct course to Peter Fine's ferry on French Broad, then south to the ridge that divides the waters of French Broad and Big Pigeon, and with said ridge to the eastern boundary of the territory.

COMPILER'S NOTE:  The last three sections of this act established Jefferson County. Therefore, they have not been included.
