"The subscriber not having sold the Lands, advertised by him the last
summer past no offers for sale, on very moderate terms, his TRACT, In the county
of Stafford, purchased of Charles Sterne, supposed to contain 2220 acres--
eleven miles from Falmouth, and six from Aquia. About two thirds of the land is
cleared and well enclosed, it has on it a sufficient proportion of good meadow
ground--the soil is well adapted to farming, and about twenty bushels of wheat
will be sowed on it this fall-possession may be had by the 1st day of January
next, or sooner if required. On this tract is a neat dwelling house, good
kitchen and other necessary out houses; the garden and yard pailed in; the
situation pleasant and remarkably healthy: a great bargain may be had on this
land by any person inclined to purchase
John Fox, tf
Fauquier, Oct. 8, 1801"
