Following is an ad appearing in the August 21, 1762 issue of the SC Gazette. I would love to know more about this place. I suspect it was owned at one time by DR. JOHN HUTCHINSON, one of his sons, or RIBTON HUTCHINSON. I note that from a USGS search that it is still called Hutchinson Island today. ------- "TO BE SOLD, "One half of Hutchinson's island, containing upwards of eight hundred acres of very fine rice land, watered by every spring tide, fifty acres of which are dammed in, and about eight in the whole cleared, with a barn thereon of 68 feet by 39, an overseer's house of 36 by 18, a brick chimney and two good floors to each, eight negro houses, a rice-machine, and the whole new, well framed, and built with good sawed stuff, situated upon a bank of near four acres, far above the highest tide, and within a quarter of a mile of the town of Savannah. This valuable plantation is already divided into two tracts of 405 acres, and will be sold together or separate, there being convenient high land for buildings and a very extensive front to both: Also two lots of land containing forty acres in the whole, being part of a tract called Yammacraw, bounded to the east on the common of the said town, the south on Ewensburgh, the north on a lot purchased by WILLIAM GIBBON, Esq., and to the west on Musgrovove Creek. For further particulars enquire of MR. JOHN GORDON, merchant in Charles Town, JOHN MULLRYNE, Esq., at Beaufort, or the subscriber in Savannah--- GREY ELLIOTT"
