                     SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTED LANDS SOUGHT
   Whereas, the Heirs of WILLIAM WIMBLE originally had, and still have in 
possession, a large proportion of the southern or lower part of the Town of 
Wilmington -- and whereas some of the Lots, within the compass of their 
property are said to be claimed by others, the subscribers therefore hereby 
give Public Notice, that they are in possession of fulll Power, in regard to 
the premises, from the Heirs of WILLIAM WIMBLE, deceased, who was Son and Heir 
at Law of JAMES WIMBLE, deceased; and that a final decision of the Right of 
Lots in Dispute will shortly be attempted.
   For the particular information of these who may be concern the following 
Lots by the Plan of Wilmington, altho improved or claimed by others, do not 
appear to be alienated by any Deed of WIMBLE or his Heirs, or in any other's 
legal manner whatever; of course, therefore, continue under their claim of 
continual possession, viz:
   Water Lots Nos. . 71, 76, 91, 116, 126.
   Front Lot No. 92, and Back Lots Nos. 98 and 94.
   The following Lots, by the records of the Court of New Hanover County 
appear to have been conditionally conveyed, but it is presumed that the 
considerations were never complied with by the purchasers; by which means the 
Right of Property, by the tenor of conveyances, returned to the Heirs; to say,
Water Lot No. 209 -- Front Lots 147 and 210.
   The Claimants and Occupants of the aforesaid Lots are hereby also infored 
that the Heirs of WIMBLE come all within the savery clause of the Statute of 
Limitations, being Infants of Feme Converts.
   Those who may be inclined for amiable settlements will please apply before 
the first day of July next, in which moderate terms will be accepted, and 
permanent Rights made.
   Repeated advertisements to the above purport, have long since been 
published at several periods, therefore this is the last notice of the kind 
that will be given.
                                JOSHUA POTTS, Atty. in Fact
                                ED. JONES, Atty in Law
N. B. The Letters under which the Heirs claim, may be seen in the hands of 
                                E. JONES
Wilmington, May 23, 1798
