Fairfax County, Virginia, May 15, 1774.
IN the month of March last the fubferiber
sent out a number of carpenters and labourers,
to build houses and clear and inclofe fields on his
patented lands on the Ohio, intending to divide the
several tracts which he there holds, into convenient
fixed tenements, and give leases thereof for lives,
or a term of years, renewable forever, under cer
tain conditions which may be known either of him,
or Mr. Valentine Crawford, who is now on
the land. The filiation and quality of these
lands having been thoroughly defcrihed in a former
advertisement, it is tinneceffary to enlarge upon
them here. Suffice it generally to observe, that
there are no better in that country, and that the
whole of them lay upon the banks either of the
Ohio, or Great Canhawa, and capable of receiving
the highest improvement.

There are two plentiful streams of water running

which are already reclaimed meadows, and the rest,
at a very small expence, might soon be reduced to
the like state. On each fide of the streams mills
might be ereded, and furnaces, the land affording
stone and lime, and iron and lead ore. On one of
the streams I have already ereded a compleat mer
chant mill with a pair of the belt French burrs for
grinding of wheat, and another pair of common
stones for grinding of Indian corn ; besides this
there is, near the dwelling-house, a tub mill, and
on the other stream there is a valuable saw mill.
There are five fettled and improved plantations, on
one of them a good stone hbufe, two dories high,
with two rooms on a floor, a kitchen, dairy, and
all other convenient out-houses ; on another plan
tation, where Michael Pike lived, there is a good
stone houlc ; and at the other plantations there are
overseers houses, negro quarters', barns, (tables,
tobacco houses, &c. The above trad shall be either
partitioned off in lots of a thousand or five hundred
acres, or fold bodily to one purchaser. Belonging
tp this estate, there are one hundred and twelve
negroes to be disposed of, together with all the stock
®f cattle, equal to any in the colony; horses, mares,
colts, hogs, &c. Likewise all the necessary imple

Any person or persons inclinable to purchase, are
detired to make their pfopofals to me at Rofegill,
(on the River Rappahannock) or to leave them
with the overseer who lives at the house plantation,
and will (hew the land. In the month of November £
shall be on the premises, and may then be personally
treated with. Part of this land and some of the ne
groes belong to my eldett son, who leaves to me the
difpofaion thereof, and will confirm any engagement
