AT that time the lad, Robert Alexander, was
fifteen years OF age, and Charles six years old.
Some years afterwards Charles died ohildless
aud intestate, so that the upper portion of the
HoWsen patent iaud passed entirely to Robert
Alexander, the lower portion remaining 10 the
hands OF Philip Alcxanders representatives
and Thomas Pearson. 4 man named Piper
occupied that en1 Of the patent near Huutipg
creek and the river.
1915; By this time the land in the neigh
borhood of the Howsen patent was 80 we'll
cleaned and cultivated as to be Of considerable
value, for We meet in old records Of sales by
executors and judicial DEGREES, showing that
the land system Of the country was as complete
as it DOW is The settlements we're. however,
as yet, very thin.
1t was the custom for planter living below
ln the we'll populated sections to patent large
tracts of land in the outlying wilderness, and
then, as civilization approached sufficiently
near, to send up an oVerseer and gang OF ne
groes to clear part of the new land and make
tobacco on it uot it wore out, and then pass
over to clear and kill with tobacco aDotber
fresh tract. No need of agricultural chemistry
and its thrifty processes OF regeneration then
1t was cheaper to buy land than 10 fertlllze
It, As these tobacco plantations had 40
barns TT for keeping their product, and lit
tie means Of preserving tobacco, public tobacco
houses were established on some Davigable wa
ter 10 every neighborhood. We may thus mark
the advance of population up the river side by
toe establishment of tobacco warehouses. The
warehouses; generally denoted country toler
soiy thickly settled and FROM 60 to 100 miles
