STATE of NEW.HAMPSHIRE:
JONATHAN MOULTON,
of Hampton, in said State,
BEG S leave to acquaint the Public, That he
Bill continues in the bufiaefs of fettling and
cultivating the new country ; and being putrefied
of more land in Several new towiihip; than he can
possibly pay a proper attention to, would (,otwlth-
Banding the wall known rife of new lands) dispose
of a considerable part of them, in large or fma!l trads
(in the Cohafs country) at very reasonable prices,
but with the principal view of encouraging and
promoting the Settlement thereof ; and in order to
it# being more convenient for him to pay a particular
attention to sundry townships near or adjoining
Winnepifcokee-lakc,—he would also fell. That
large and EXCELLENT FAR Ml, lying in Orford,
on Coonedicut river, called Post-Farm, contain
ing 1600 acres of choice land, confining of 8 inter
val loti (so called) which contain about 600 acrec,
and of ten 100 acre lots more of good upland ; the
whole adjoins, and lies in a comped body, and is
delightfully situated on each fide of the great road,
leadingfrom Darthmouth College to Haverhill (Co
haft). The land has been found by experience to
be well adapted for every kind of produce. There
were about 40 tons of English hay cut on it lad
season, and it is likely 70 may next, by reason of
additional improvements that have been made, where
large crops of wheat and other grain grew. Tea
acres of ground were well prepared, and sowed with
winter wheat the 1 11of September last ; twenty acres
now lays burnt over, and twenty acres more of
trees fell, ready for burning, clearing, planting
and Rowing ; so that it is advantageously circumAan
ced for the purchaser to enter on next spring :. Two
fouth-eafi part of the town, bounded on Lime and
Wentworth, and lies undivided with land of other
proprietors. Also. federal lots of land in Piermont,
a town joining to Orford -a number of lots in Ha
verhill, adjoining Piermont-.-a number of lots in
Bath, adjoining Haverhlll---a number of lots in Ly
man, adjoining Bath-- and a number of lots in
Gouthwait, joining also to Bath, all lying in the
county of Grafton ; which he will fell reasonably,
as well any, or all the before mentioned lots and
farm, for hard or paper money, current bills of ex
change, produce, cattle, &e. give a reasonable cre
dit for a principal part, If mol agreable. Any gen
tlemen defiroes of purchasing any of said lands,
may know particularly the price and terms, by ap
plying soon, to said Moulton, at Hampton, after the
faft day of February next.
The traniportation to the towns abovementioned
Is by way of Winnepifeokee Lake (where a large
fiore will be kept) and is without doubt, the bed
situated for carrying on a greater inland trade of any
within many hundred miles of it : Indeed nature
has accompanied it with so maay advantageous cir
cumstances, that a great trade mud of course center
there--It lies in the moil dire& line for travelling
and traafportation from Portsmouth to Haverhill,and
other towns in and near the lower Cohafa : Its dis
ftanee )s about 62. miles from Portsmouth, viz. from
Portsmouth to Dover (with good transportation by
wat(r) about twelve miles; from Dover to Lieut.
Charles Rogers, at the easterly part of said Lake
(land carriage and very good road) short of 30
miles; then aceofs the Lake to Senter harbour, about
20 miles ; so that it appears that more than half the
diflance is good transportation by water. - The dis
tance from this place to fandry towns in Cohafs and
on Conneaicut river, is about 44 miles, viz. to
Plymouth, twelve miles : from Plymouth to sundry
towns on the river, by different roads and through
fettled towns, about 32 miles in general : So that
the whole ditance is but 106 miles, which is 15 or
30 miles nearer than to any other seaport ; befidee
wurhn
dwelling houses, two large barns, and convenient
out houses Landing thereon ; also, two young
orchards, set with about 500 apple trees.--This
farm is also finely situated for a large trade or tavern,
not only by its lying on so public a road, but also its
being near a place called Claybrook, where a ferry
is improved for passing waftward into the Grants
and State of Vermont ; also another road eaSward
to Plymouth, and by Winnepifeokee-Lake to Port!
mouth, betides other roads going different courier.
Any gentleman inclining to purcbafe laid farm,
may have a more full account of the fixation, qua
lity of It, &Cr by enquiring of Major Jonathan
Child, who lives near the premises. Also, several
other INTERNAL LOTS, (so called) be
tween Col. Moray's feat and a trad fold to Dr. Sa
muel Todd, lying on the great road near the upper
end of the town ; there is on them a large quantity
of pine timber, suitable and handy to turn into the
river for a market below. Also 58 one hundred
acre lots of land in said Orford. Also, two thou
sand and five hundred acres, or thereabouts, in the
- TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
LOST left Friday, in Welon, near Major
Reed's, a flowered cased silver WATCH, china
fees, wish a fleel chain, brass key, a French fee),
with a c.ofs in the free of it, a brass violin on the
chain for a curtain hook. Whoever will deliver
said WATCH to Major Reed, in Weston, William
Scott, in Palmer, or David Bull, in Hartford, fall
have the above reward, and the thanks of the owner,
Feb. 12, 1781.
BLANK DEE DS, ~
To be fold at the Printing Office,
thelt not having the advantage of water carriage.
Thus situated, at least 50 towns will had it their in
terest to get their supplies here, and turn in their
flour, wheal, rye. corn, peas, pork, beef, &c. if
trade was established under good regulations, And
not wlthftandiug the great and promising profp^d of
this place for trade, and of its increasing value---yet
as the said Moulton is greatly engaged in bufiaefs
elsewhere, that it would be inconvenient for him to
undertake the whole, therefore he would resign up a
considerable part to any able gentleman, or company
of gentlemen, that will undertake to supply the
towns above, to whom be will fell at a reasonable
price.
