Valuable Farm for Sale

Having determined to change my residence to a more
South Western region, I offer for sale the whole of my
landed property on Mattapony River in Caroline County,
consisting of upward of One thousand acres of land -
more than seven hundred acres of which, are flat,
or river low ground, and a very few acres only, sub=
ject to inundation, in uncommon [illegible] of the river.
On this farm, there has been recently erected, a commode
in Two Story Brick dwelling house, a Spacious Barn with
extensive Stalls and carriage horse attached thereto, most
conveniently arranged, and built of the most durable ma
terials, as well as other necessary buildings for the accom
modation of a family. ^{undeniably enhancing its value} A further description of the esta
blishment, is declined, under the presumption that persons
inclined to purchase, will first view the premises and judge
for themselves, which all are rightfully invited to do by.

In obedience to an order of the County Court of Caroline
County, we the commissioners therein named, have viewed the
way proposed to be turned ^a at the lower end John Gayles
line, to the old road a few hundred yards north of the
present road, and make to Court the following report.

On Investigating the manner in which the road as
it now runs was established we find from unquestion
able Testimony, as well as the admission of some of the par
ties concerned, that no order of Court was ever obtained
to establish the road as now used ^same as a publick road -
Independent of this consideration, we are satisfied from
the information of one of our body, ^{as well as of others} that the site on which
it is proposed ^now to locate the road, contemplated to be
changed, was many years past, known and used as the
publick road leading from the Bowling Green to-
Dunkirk. We further State that in as much as the
desired change will not be attended with any public
inconvenience, the road being more direct and rather
nearer than the present road, but as far as the accom
modation and convenience of the individuals owning the
lands on either side, (who are all assenting to the change)
is concerned, we are unanimous ^{ly [illegible] opinion} in recommending that
^{the said} change of the said road ought in justice to be made.
