Dated at Easton, the ?3d day of October, 1775. Signed, Lewis Gordon Esq; Henry Fullert, Esq; Doctor Andrew Ledlie, Jacob Orndt, Esq; Harman Schnyder, Adam Johe, Myer Hurt, Christian Streight, Isaac Sidman. Christiana Bridge, Newcastle County, on Delaware, November 5, 1775. To be EXCHANGED or SOLD, By the Subscriber, living at Christiana Bridge, Newcastle County, on Delaware, the following LOTS and PIECES of LAND, viz. ONE lot situate in the town of Christiana aforesaid, containing 78 feet front on the main street, on which is erected and lately finished a good two story brick house, two rooms on a floor, a garret, and a cellar under the whole; a good brick smoak-house and kitchen, with a pump at the door; a frame tenement adjoining, which, with very little expence, may be converted into a store, it being an excellent stand for that business; also a brick stable, 23 feet by 27 feet, divided into apartments, with a well boarded loft that will contain eight tons of hay. Also twenty eight acres of land, lying about 500 yards from the above described premises, twelve acres of which is watered meadow, the stream never failing, and has and will produce as much good Timothy and clover hay as any Dunlap's Pennsylvania Packet or, The General Advertiser. http://www.loc.gov/resource/rbpe.1440120a marsh or cripple meadow whatsoever: On the meadow part of the land is lately erected a frame building, weather boarded with cedar boards, that will hold eighteen tons of hay, and a shed at the end thereof divided into four stalls for cattle. The subscriber has, for a considerable number of years, earned on the shalloping business from this place to Philadelphia, and intends so to do unless he should dispose of the premises above described; the purchaser, therefore, may be furnished with a shallop that will carry 480 barrels of flour at a reasonable price, and may have the stores and wharf which he has rented a number of years as usual; by this any person buying may enter into immediate business. Also, thirteen acres of marsh meadow in Mussel Cripel, about two miles from this place, now under Timothy grass, and which has, and now doth (the lease expires the 25th of March next) rent for thirty-two pounds per annum: Adjoining to this meadow is twelve acres of upland, about half of which is timber land. Likewise about one acre and three quarters of land, lying about half a mile on the main road from Christiana aforesaid, whereon is erected a frame tenement, under a lease three years unexpired, at nine pounds per annum. One third of the purchase money will be wanted on either of the above places should they be sold; and as it is supposed that the brick house, &c. with the first described meadows, would suit one person for carrying on the store and shalloping business, therefore they will be sold seperate from the rest, or altogether. All the above described places will be exchanged for a good farm within this government, or either of the well inhabited parts of Maryland, the Jerseys, or Virginia; and should the farm, on viewing, be thought worth more (for it must be well improved with tolerable buildings thereon erected) ready money will be paid for the residue, and also for the stock that may be thereon, if agreeable. For further particulars enquire of the subscriber, at Christiana Bridge aforesaid, who has to sell a Negro Man about 27 years of age, remarkable strong and an excellent waterman. † 8 JAMES PARTRIDGE.
