west side of Manaiuuk [obliteration] called Consohockhau [obliteration], 

 and from thence by a westerly line to the said river Macopanackhau." 



On the same day four "Shackamakers and right owners of ye lands 

 lying between Manainnk als [alias] Schulkill and Pemmapecka 

 creeks,'' granted all their rights to said lauds as far as the hill called 

 Consohockan on Manaiuuk river, and from thence by a northwest line 

 to Pemmapecka river. In his note on this purchase, Smith says, 

 "What was the true situation of the Coushohockan hill uan not, per- 

 haps, be now ascertained. That it could not be very high up the 

 Schuylkill is apparent; otherwise a 'northwest line' from it, as men- 

 tioned in the deed last recited, would never strike Pennepack creek, 

 nor would the line mentioned in deed of July, 1685, hereafter cited, 

 touch the Chester and Pennepack creeks." 



September 10, 1G8.3, grant from Kekelappan of Opasiskunk, for his 

 half of all his land betwixt Susquehanna and Delaware, which lay on

 Delaware river to Chesapeake bay, and up to the falls of the Susque- 

 hanna, conveys his right to Penn.

 (now Perkioming). 



June 7, 1081, Richard Mettamicout, callinghimself owner of the land 

 on both sides of Pemmapecka creek, on Delaware river, sells to Penn. 



July 30, 1685, deed from four "Sakemakers" for lands between 

 Macopanackan (Chester) creek and Pemapecka (Dublin) creek; "Begin- 

 ning at the hill called Conshohockiu on the river Manaiuuk or Skool- 

 kill; from thence extends in a parallel line to the said Macopanackan 

 als Chester creek by a southwesterly course, and from the said Cousho- 

 hockeu hill up to ye aforesaid Pemapecka, als Dublin creek, by ye said 

 parallel line northeasterly, and so up along the sd Pemapecka creek so 

 far as the creek extends, and so from thence northwesterly back into 

 ye woods to make up two full dales journey, as far as a man can go iu 

 two dayes from the said station of ye sd parallel line at Pemapecka; 

 also beginning at the sd parallel at Macopanackan (als Chester) creek, 

 and so from thence up the sd creek as far as it extends; and from 

 thence northwesterly back into the woods to make'up two full dayes 

 journey, as far as a man can go in two dayes from the sd station of the
