The record is not complete in the description of the boundary of this town- ship, the north line being omitted, as the following would disclose: "It is ruled and ordered that a township be laid off called Massie Township : Beginning on the east fork of Eagle Creek where the Manchester Town- ship line crosses ; [that was a due north line from the Ohio River opposite the mouth of Cabin Creek] thence down the same to the main creek ; thence with the creek to the mouth; thence north with the county line to Manchester Township, and from said township line to the beginning."

This made the beginning corner. in the region to the souhtwest of Hill's Fork postoffice in what is now Liberty Township, Adams County, and the new township included all that portion of Brown County within the present townships of Huntington, Byrd, Jefferson, Jackson and Eagle ; and a portion of Union, Franklin and Washington, as well as all the northwestern portions of Adams County as it now is bounded, to- gether with a portion of Highland and Ross Counties.
