The Virginia Herald August 16, 1808 1:1
I will sell a bargain in land, and take in payment two-thirds Green-River
lands the balance in cash or young negroes -The is a part of the land which
formerly belonged to Philip Alexander, and lies near the Elk Marsh in Fauquier
county, containing by late survey 608 and two-thirds acres, a great proportion
of it lays rolling, and abundantly rich to bring fine tobacco as may be seen
by the crop now growing; the balance is fine meadow land, a small part of
which is sown in timothy, and about 15 acres more is nicely prepared and will
be sown in grass this fall -The whole of this land is heavily timbered, except
about 150 acres, 50 of which was cleared last winter and the winter before.
-On it is a good dwelling house, stable, kitchen,and other necessary out
houses, all built within the last year. Thomas Green. Fauquier, August 8, 1808.
