[Laws 1821, p. 45.]
PIKE. January 31 .- Up the middle of the Illinois river from its mouth to the fork; up the south fork (Kankakee)to the Indiana state line; north with the state line to the north boundary of the State ; west with said State line to the west boundary of the State; thence with said bound- ary to the place of beginning.
[Laws 1821, p. 59.]
HAMILTON. Feb. 8 .- South from the southern line of Wayne county, on the line dividing ranges 7 and 8 east, to Gallatin county; thence west eighteen miles to Franklin; thence north to the Wayne county line; thence east to the beginning.
[Laws 1821, p. 113.]
MONTGOMERY. Feb. 12 .- West from the southeast corner of section 24, town 7 north, 2 west, to the south west corner section 19, town 7 north, 4 west; thence south to southeast corner of town 7 north, 5 west; thence west to southwest corner of said township; thence north to northwest corner of town 12 north, 5 west; thence east to northeast corner of town 12 north, 2 west:thence south to the beginning.
[Laws 1821, p. 142.]
FAYETTE. Feb. 14 .- All that tract of country lying north of a line running east from the southwest corner of town 3 north, 1 west, to the southeast corner of town 3 north. 6 east of the third principal meridian .*
[Laws 1821, p. 164.]
*NOTE .- A strict construction of this act would make the entire western boundary of Fay- ette county the line between ranges one and two west, and extend its northern boundary to the Wisconsin line, thus taking one range of townships from the east side of Sangamon (formed Jan. 30) and cutting Pike (formed Jan. 31) in two. It is probable that the word "un- organized" should be read into the act so as to make it read "all that tract of unorganized country lying north" etc. Subsequent acts seem to justify this theory.
