Farmer's Repository July 26, 1811
"Land for Sale."
"I will sell 400 acres of LAND in the Rich Woods, the  former residence of 
Laurence Washington, Esq.  About 100 acres of this Land  is heavily timbered, 
and the balance lies well for farming. There are on it a  dwelling House, 
which, 
at a small expence might be made comfortable, a large  frame Barn, two never 
failing wells of water, a good peach and apple orchard,  and a variety of 
cherry and pear trees. The purchaser will, if he chooses, have  the privilege 
of 
seeding 150 acres of fallow, which will be prepared in the best  manner. 
Likewise, 350 acres of land on Bullskin Run.  This  farm is well improved, 
has plenty of wood, a handsome watered meadow, and is  considered among the 
best 
farms on Bullskin.  There will be 70 acres of  rich clover land prepared in 
the nicest manner for seeding. Thirty bushels of  wheat to the acre will not be 
an extravagant calculation from this land.   Terms may be known on 
application to the subscriber.
Henry Gantt.
July 10, 1811."
