the junction of the Ohio and the Mississippi to a company on the

* Deane”s plan was to grant a tract two hundred miles square at
the junction of the Ohio and the Mississippi to a company on the
condition that a thousand families should be settled on it within
seven years. He added that, as this company would be in a great
degree commercial, the establishing of commerce at the junction
of those large rivers would immediately give a value to all the
lands situated on or near them.
