small lots with the improvements
thereon belonging TO Daniel, Solomon
and Everett Dean. Henry intends ~
make of the island. a same preserve
FOR the use Of himself and friends.
The practical abandonment Of
James Island as a place Of residence
is. like many other changes along the
shores of Chesapeake Bay, due 10 the
action of the tides cutting away the
earth from beneath the very habita-
tions OF men. and Of forcing the slow,
but certain, removal of the inhabi-
tauts.
Twenty six years ago James Island
was connected with Taylor's Island
by 4 tongue Of land over which the
people could drive Or walk n COM
fort and safety Tarlor's Island is
connected with the mainland by a
bridge over Slaughter Creek, so that
tho people could come ashore when

the tongue Of land was cut away by
the tide and the gradual desertion OF
the island began. For many years q
