Hickory-Hill, March 25, 1820.

September 30, 1820   Land for sale.  The subscriber wishes to dispose of his estate, lying on the Potomac river, in the county of Westmoreland, adjoining the lands of Alexander Berryman, Daniel Carmichael, and the estate of James Harvey –containing about 400 acres.  A part of this tract is very heavily timbered -there is a brick dwelling and other necessary buildings for the accommodation of a family.  This farm lies level, and would, under proper management, produce excellent crops.  -There are on it, immense beds of oyster shells, which would furnish endless supplies of improvement Good bonds, now due, and satisfactorily endorsed, would be received in payment.  A further description is thought unnecessary as it is to be presumed that any person wishing to purchase would first view it.  For terms apply to Wm. Bernard Sen, P. Lightfoot, or myself.   Wm. Bernard, Jr. Sept. 30, 1820.

November 4, 1820   This tract of land, lying in the county of Westmoreland, contains by recent survey, between 13 and 1400 acres; about 600 of which are low grounds of superior quality.  The balance is barren land, covered with oak and hickory.  It is situated near the banks of the Potomac and within one mile of Mattox Creek, which is navigable for vessels of considerable burthen.  The soil is remarkable for its fertility: and I think well adapted to the production of tobacco.  There is a brick house (a little out of repair) sufficiently commodious for the accommodation of a small family, with an excellent meat house and dairy, and a well of fine water within 30 yards of the house.  I know of no establishment in the lower country which offers greater inducements to the farmer or planter- Within a mile of the dwelling house is a manufacturing mill, situated on one of the best streams in the Northern Neck, with 100 acres of land attached to it, which I also offer for sale.  The terms will be moderate and the payments easy.  For particulars apply to the subscriber, now at Haywood, Westmoreland county.   Lawrence Washington. Nov. 4, 1820.

January 19, 1822   For sale, 769 acres of land, lying in the county of Westmoreland, about 6 miles below Nomony Ferry, on the main road leading to Kinsale, Northumberand Courthouse, &c. and is contiguous to the navigable waters of Machodoc and Yeocomico creeks.  At least 3/4 of this land is in wood; 139 acres of which is in original growth of oak and hickory timber -the balance is well set with pine and cedar; all of which is rendered valuable by its central situation, being convenient to all the markets on the waters of the Chesapeake, and particularly to those in the District of Columbia.  This land is well watered, the situation healthy, and in an agreeable neighborhood.  For terms apply to John Murry, near the premises, or   Thos. Ap Catsby Jones, Washington City. Jan. 19, 1822.

May 15, 1822   Potomac land for sale.  Pursuant to the last will of the late Col. John Stewart, of Westmoreland county Virginia, I shall offer for sale on Tuesday the 6th of August next, if fair, otherwise, the next fair day, at 1 o'clock, P.M. on the premises, that pleasant and commodious seat called White Point.  This estate, containing nearly 500 acres, is situated immediately on the banks of the Potomac river, in the aforesaid county, and is bounded by this river and Monroe's creek, a navigable branch of the same, for at least two thirds of the tract, thereby saving the farmer great labour and expense in the article of fencing.  There are two comfortable dwelling houses, with necessary out houses, on the farm; and to accommodate purchasers, it would be divided, provided the whole could be disposed of.  For corn, the soil is equal to any in the neighborhood, and for wheat it is inferior to none in the Northern Neck, it being less liable to rust, &c. as it is supposed from some peculiarity of its atmosphere.  Fish, oysters, and wild fowl in their seasons may in great abundance be easily procured; and in the spring, the herring fishery attached to this farm may be rented very profitable.  Terms of sale will be, one-third of the purchase money at 12 months; one third in 2 years; and the balance in three years.  The installments to be secured by a deed in trust on the property.  The subscriber being authorized to sell at either public or private bargain, will receive proposals for the above property at any time previous to the day of sale Should private sale be effected, the public will be duly notified thereof.  On the same terms, and at the same time and place, I will also sell a small tract of wood land about two miles from the river, heavily timbered.  Possession will be given on the first day of January next, with the privilege of seeding wheat this fall.  Should the above property not be sold, it will be rented, to the highest bidder on the evening of the aforesaid day, for the ensuing year, under certain conditions then to be made known.   B. F. Stewart. Ex'or of John Stewart, deceased. May 4, 1822.

August 3, 1822   For sale or exchange, A farm on the Potomac, in the county of Westmoreland, containing by estimation, between 11 and 1200 acres, called Cabin-Point.  This property has always been considered equal to any on the river, and has been for several years, by the exclusion of stock, in a very considerable state of improvement -An exchange is the most desirable; no farm however would be received containing less than 400 acres of good land, with improvements; nor, if in the Northern Neck, lying below the county of King George.  - Should a suitable farm be offered inferior to Cabin point, either in quantity or quality, the subscriber would be willing to receive the difference in labour; or, if estimated in money, would extend to its payment any indulgence which could reasonably be required; which indulgence might be extended also, should there be no exchange, to the whole amount, on a small portion being paid down, and satisfactory security being given for the punctual liquidation of the residue of the principal and interest as they come due.  -No one, it is presumed, will view this property, although it is in a very loose state of cultivation, and be disappointed; as it possesses every advantage of fertility, beauty, and convenience, and which nothing but the want of competent capital and labour could ever have possibly induced the subscriber to have thrown it into market.  -To a gentleman of fortune living in the District of Columbia, who desires to derive from an estate all the luxuries as well as necessities of the country, Cabin-Point would be valuable.  About 250 acres are in corn, which the purchaser could have the liberty of seeding in wheat; or which, probably, might be seeded for him.  Letters, post paid, will receive immediate attention.   Thomas Bowand. Cabin-Point, near Westm'd Courthouse, Aug. 3, 1822.
