Extract from Commissioner's Report.
Commissioner's report.This purchase was originally made by George Nimmo, Benjamin
Nisbett, and John McLean, who were partners in business. John McLean is dead; but
the agreement between the parties (as deposed on oath by claimant and Benjamin
Nesbitt) being, that the longest survivor should inherit the property, and
Benjamin Nesbitt having stated in evidence that he has given up all his right and
title to the land to George Nimmo, the Commissioner therefore respectfully
recommends that a grant for the above-de-scribed land should be issued to George
Nimmo, his heirs and assigns for ever. Excepting 100 feet from high-water mark.
