A VALUABLE SALE of LANDS.
TO.BE SOLD, a trad of land in Berkeley
and Frederick counties, containing twelve
thousand and seventy-six acres : it lies seven miles
on each fide of Shenandoah River, the quantity on
the east fide, being only a flip of low grounds, is
inconsiderable. The quality of the land is remark
ably good, and the conveniences attending it great.
There are two plentiful streams of water running
through marshes three miles in length, some of
which are already reclaimed meadows, and the rest,
at a very imall expence, might soon be reduced to
the like state. On each fide of the streams mills
might be erefted, and furnaces, the land affording
ftonß and lime, and iron and lead ore. On one of
the streams I have already ere&ed a compleat mer
chant mill with a pair of the best 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 house, two stories 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 house; and at the other plantations there are
overseers houses, negro quarters, barns, stables,
tobacco houses, &c. The above tra& shall be either
partitioned off in lots of a thoufind or five hundred
acres, or fold bodily to one purchaser. Belonging
to this estate, there are one hundred and twelve
negroes to be disposed of, together with all the stock
of cattle, equal to any in the colony; horses, mares,
colts, hogs, &c. Likewise all the necessary imple
ments for the planter or farmer.
Any person or perfins inclinable to purchase, are
desired to make their proposals to me at Rofegill,
(on the River Rappahannock) or to leave them
with the oyerfeer who lives at the house plantation,
and will (hew the land. In the months of May and
November I shall be on the premises, and may then
be personally treated with. Part of this land and
some of the negroes belong to my eldest son, who
leaves to me the disposition thereof,, and will con
firm any engagement I enter into on his part.
