  • The following appeared on 10 November 1815 in The Star: Valuable Lands for Sale, in S. Carolina. The Subscriber offers for sale his Valuable and Highly Improved Plantation on the East side of Great-Pedee, containing 2000 Acres. About 300 acres are cleared and the greater part under fence, including Rich River Swamp (of which about 80 acres are cleared) and high land with a considerable quantity to clear. On the premises are, a comfortable dwelling house, store house, cotton house and other necessary out buildings, and negro houses sufficient to contain 60 negroes. This plantation is valuable for cotton, and affords the best range of any lands in this quarter. Also, for sale, a tract of land on the West side of Pedee, containing 1132 acres of well timbered Pine Land, well calculated for Naval Stores, and lying contiguous to a Mill Seat, and within one mile of the River. Also, his Lot, of Seven acres of Land, at Marion Court-House, on which is a commodious dwelling house, store house, ware house, and other necessary out houses. This is an excellent stand for the Mercantile Business, and in a very healthy and improving Village. Another tract of land, adjoining the above plantation, is likewise offered for sale, containing 2500 acres, lying on both sides of Peedee River, on which is 100 acres cleared and under fence, with a comfortable dwelling house and other necessary out buildings. On this tract is a valuable Mill Seat, (the dam already made) within one mile of a landing, and a quantity of well timbered pine land, convenient to the same. This is a valuable property, being near a Market and so convenient to Navigation. On the premises is also a Ferry, where a Shad fishery could be carried on to great advantage.-- These lands are situated 55 miles from Georgetown, 8 miles from Marion Court-House, and possess advantages that cannot be well here described. Great bargains will be offered, if early application is made, as the proprietors wish to remove from the State.
         Apply on the premises to Mr. Joseph Burch or to the Subscriber. Andrew Paul. October 31st, 1815. 45 7tpd.
