January 31, 1818   For sale, That valuable tract of land known by the name of Bushfield, in the County of Westmoreland, situated on the lower side of Nomony and extending along its banks for upwards of two miles from the entrance of that river into the Potomac.  A minute description of this property will be given to any gentleman disposed to purchase, on application to Major George Lewis of King George County, Va. or to the subscriber, who being authorized to sell the land, will give every necessary information.  This tract contains upwards of 800 acres of fertile river bottom, better than one fourth of which is covered with a heavy growth of white oak timber, admirably suited for ship building; and considering its nearness to ship navigation and the great demand for naval supplies in the City of Washington, may be well estimated alone as an important source for the accumulation of wealth.  Nearly one half of the remainder is in pine wood of the most valuable sort for market, one acre of which would produce 50 cords, and may be sold, as it now stands, at 50 per cord.  That portion already in cultivation is inferior in quality to none in the northern neck.  The soil in many places is intermixed with oyster shells, two or three feet below the surface, and is better suited for the growth of wheat than almost any other in the vicinity.  A valuable shad fishery is added to its advantages, and it may be said with truth that no estate in Virginia combines more conveniences than this; for it is also one of the most healthy situations in the lower country.   John Campbell. January 31.
