of THOMAS DAVIS, lately deceased, will be
sold at PUBLIC SALE, on the premises, on the
23d day of November next, at 2 o'clock,P.M. a
VALUABLE PLANTATION,
Containing 150 acres of LAND, situate in the
Great Valley, in Tredyffrin township, Chester
county, bounded by lands of David Rees, Joshua
Jones, James Jones and others, and one mile north
of the Lancaster turnpike road, 16 miles from
Philadelphia, 14 from West-Chester, and 6 from
Norristown; 30 acres of which is woodland, 10 acres
of watered meadow, and the rest divided into small
fields, well fenced with Chesnut rails, and well
watered, with a stream running near the door; a
Limestone quarry on the premises, of which large
quantities may be disposed of. The lands are in a
good state of cultivation, have been lately limed,
are principally under a good sod. The improvements
are a large two-story stone house, with four
rooms on a floor, a large entry, with a cellar under
the whole and kitchen adjoining the same; a large
Barn, stone wagon-house, stone spring-house over
a never failing spring of good water, with other
out buildings, all in good repair. - Also a
TENANT HOUSE, two stories high. The property
is beautifully situated in a good neighborhood,
near to houses of Worship, within half a mile of
the Baptist Meeting, and 1 1/2 miles of the Friends'
Meeting, and convenient to Mills. This Farm is
worth the attention of the agriculturist. It is one
of the first-rate dairy farms, and has been used as
such for many years to great advantage; the title is
indisputable. It is deemed unnecessary to vie a
further description, as it is presumed it will be
viewed by many who wish to purchase.
