Lot no. 2, contains 2 acres and 6 perches, adjoining lot no. 1 on the south side of the rail-road and fronts on the turnpike.

No. 3, contains 2 acres, 1 rood and 37 perches of land, now under good grass, and has three fronts, one on the rail-road, one on the old Lancaster road, and the other on the turnpike. This lot has a good well of water on the same, near the rail-road.
