Acts of 1799 Chapter 13

SECTION 1. That from and after the passing of this act, the bounds of Robertson County shall be as follows, viz.--

Beginning at the upper end of the first bluff above James McFarland's, on Red River, near to Annelen's Cabbins, running from thence a direct course to the Sulphor Fork, one quarter of a mile below Elias Fort's, thence a direct course so as to leave the plantation whereon Col. James Ford lives in Montgomery County and the plantation whereon Maj. John Baker lives, in Robertson County, and to strike the road leading from Davidson's ferry to Robertson court house, one quarter of a mile east of Capt. James Hollis's, thence a direct course to the mouth of Big Bursh Creek, which empties into Cumberland River near Col. John Hogan's, thence continuing the same course to the Indian boundary line, thence running eastwardly with said Indian boundary line to Davidson County line, thence north with said Davidson County line to the mouth of Sycamore Creek, thence up said Sycamore Creek, with the Davidson County line, to the Sumner County line, thence with the extreme height of the ridge, eastwardly to the Kentucky road leading from Nashville, thence northward with said road to the Kentucky state line, thence west with said line to such place as a southeast course, leaving Joseph French in the lower county, will strike the beginning.

SECTION 2. That nothing in this act contained shall be so construed as to prevent the sheriff or collector of the state taxes of the county of Montgomery from collecting the same within the limits of that part of Robertson County which was taken from Montgomery, which are at this time in arrearages, in the same manner as if this act had not been passed; and the sheriff, collector, or treasurer, as the case may be, shall be bound to refund, when called on, all the monies they may have received, as county monies, for the year 1799, unto those citizens which live in that part of Montgomery County, which is by this Act annexed to Robertson County.

Passed: October 23, 1979.
