Whereas, in or about the year 1926 the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield
County made a change in the location of the Hundred Road a short distance
easterly from the Village of Chester, by establishing the said Hundred Road
(now known as State Highway No. 10) on the abandoned right of way of the old
Tidewater and Western Railroad from a point near Martin's Store where the old
Hundred Road as fo~erly located passed from the South side to the North side of
the right of way of said Railroad, to the Ri chmond and Peter sburg Turnpike,
being a distance of nearly 4,000 feet; and,
~Jhereas, by deed dated December 12, 1927, recorded in Deed Book 190, page 374,
the Chesterfield Salaage Corporation conveyed to the County of Chesterfield the
said right-of-way nearly 4,000 feet in length upon whlch the said Hundred Road
had already been est~blished; and, -
Whereas, the County of Chesterfield immediately upon the taking over of said
~
railroad right-of-way and the establishing of the said Hundred Road thereon,
greatly improved the same as a pUblic highway and there is now a modern macadam
road on the said section of the railroad right-of-way; and -
I,'hereas, the section of the Hundred Road as formerly located lying on the nor6terl
side of said railroad right-of-way, about (800) feet in length, which formed
the northern boundary line of a lot. of about one acre of land which Harry Brlghtle 's
heirs conveyed to R. D. Moore, was thereupon abandoned, and has never since been
used as a public highway, and it was the intention of the said Board that the said
abanddned section of road should be ~iscontinued as a pUblic highway and should
revert to the adjoining land-owners.
Now, Therefore, this Board doth declare the said section of the Hundred Road as
for.merly located, lying on the norhterly side of the right-of-way of said Railroad
on which said liundred Road is now located, forever abandoned as a public highway. I
