Land for sale, On Monday the 26th day of May next, at Westmoreland courthouse, being court day, will be sold, to the highest bidder, for ready money, a tract of land, belonging to the estate of Mr. George Lee Turberville, dec. known by the name of Epping Forest; containing by estimation, about 900 acres, and lying part in the county of Richmond and part in the county of Westmoreland, on the main stream of Rappahannock creek.  -The low grounds thereon are valuable, and the highland is well timbered, of good quality, and well adapted to the culture of corn and tobacco.  The buildings have been mostly burnt, but the situation is high, pleasant, and healthy, with the advantage of good water very near thereto,
convenient to a good mill, and within 3 miles of Westmoreland court-house.  Further particulars are thought unnecessary as it is presumed those who may wish to purchase will view the premises before the day of sale, and are referred to Mr. James Seales, living near thereto who will, at any time, attend those who may apply for that purpose.
