&lt;p&gt;Valuable Farm for Sale&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having determined to change my residence to a more&lt;br /&gt;South Western region, I offer for sale the whole of my&lt;br /&gt;landed property on Mattapony River in Caroline County,&lt;br /&gt;consisting of upward of One thousand acres &lt;del&gt;of land&lt;/del&gt; -&lt;br /&gt;more than seven hundred acres of which, are flat,&lt;br /&gt;or river low ground, and a very few acres only, sub=&lt;br /&gt;ject to inundation, in uncommon [illegible] of the river.&lt;br /&gt;On this farm, there has been recently erected, a commode&lt;br /&gt;in Two Story Brick dwelling house, a Spacious Barn with&lt;br /&gt;extensive Stalls and carriage horse attached thereto, most&lt;br /&gt;conveniently arranged, and built of the most durable ma&lt;br /&gt;terials, as well as other necessary buildings for the accom&lt;br /&gt;modation of a family. &lt;sup&gt;undeniably enhancing its value&lt;/sup&gt; A further description of the esta&lt;br /&gt;blishment, is declined, under the presumption that persons&lt;br /&gt;inclined to purchase, will first view the premises and judge&lt;br /&gt;for themselves, which all are rightfully invited to do by.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edmund Pendleton&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;March 11th 1833 -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The subscriber is prepared, and desirous, to undertake&lt;br /&gt;and execute Carpenters work , in its various branches when&lt;br /&gt;as accommodating and moderate Terms, &lt;sup&gt;and as expeditiously&lt;/sup&gt; as it can be&lt;br /&gt;done by any individual Whatever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edmund Pendleton&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Pages 2 and 3, blank]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Page 4]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In obedience to an order of the &lt;del&gt;County&lt;/del&gt; Court of Caroline&lt;br /&gt;County, we the commissioners therein named, have viewed the&lt;br /&gt;way proposed to be turned &lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt; at the lower end John Gayles&lt;br /&gt;line, to the old road a few hundred yards north of the&lt;br /&gt;present road, and make to Court the following report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Investigating the manner in which the road as&lt;br /&gt;it now runs was established we find from unquestion&lt;br /&gt;able Testimony, as well as the admission of some of the par&lt;br /&gt;ties concerned, that no order of Court was ever obtained&lt;br /&gt;to establish the &lt;del&gt;road as now used&lt;/del&gt; &lt;sup&gt;same&lt;/sup&gt; as a publick road -&lt;br /&gt;Independent of this consideration, we are satisfied from&lt;br /&gt;the information of one of our body, &lt;sup&gt;as well as of others&lt;/sup&gt; that the site on which&lt;br /&gt;it is proposed &lt;sup&gt;now&lt;/sup&gt; to locate the road, &lt;del&gt;contemplated to be&lt;br /&gt;changed,&lt;/del&gt; was many years past, known and used as the&lt;br /&gt;publick road leading from the Bowling Green to-&lt;br /&gt;Dunkirk. We further State that &lt;del&gt;in as much as&lt;/del&gt; the&lt;br /&gt;desired change will not be attended with any public&lt;br /&gt;inconvenience, the road being more direct and rather&lt;br /&gt;nearer than the present road, but as far as the accom&lt;br /&gt;modation and convenience of the individuals owning the&lt;br /&gt;lands on either side, (who are all assenting to the change)&lt;br /&gt;is concerned, we are unanimous &lt;sup&gt;ly [illegible] opinion&lt;/sup&gt; in recommending that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;sup&gt;the said&lt;/sup&gt; change &lt;del&gt;of the said road&lt;/del&gt; ought in justice to be made.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
