9 Dec 1836
Executors' Sale of
A VALUABLE FARM & NEGROES
On Monday the 9th day of January, 1837, we will offer for sale to the highest
bidder, on a credit of 1 and 2 years, that Valuable FARM, (1 mile east of
Tuscumbia,) the late residence of Capt. Arthur Jones, dec'd., containing 720
Acres--about 400 acres under cultivation---with comfortable Improvements, a
2-story BRICK DWELLING HOUSE, with all the necessary out-houses. It is thought
unnecessary to give a further description, as those wishing to purchase will
doubtless view the premises before the day of sale.
Also, at the same time and place, we will offer for sale, FORTY-EIGHT LIKELY
NEGROES, on a credit of 12 months.
Also, at the same time and place, will be offered 150 PORK HOGS, & from 80 to
