Waxhaw Creek; thence N. 2° 12 1/2' E. eight miles to a gum tree
on the southeastern corner of the Catawba Indian Reservation as laid out
in 1764; thence following the eastern and northern boundary lines of said

the thread of the Catawba River; thence up the thread of said river to the
confluence of the north and south forks thereof; thence west to a stone on
Tyron Mountain marked "S. C. and N. C., September 15th,
1815"; thence from said stone set up and marked "S. C. and

their report, dated November 2, 1815) to the ridge that divides the Saluda
