Can anyone identify or claim this John Steele? ITEM #48312 February 21, 1771 The Pennsylvania Gazette TO BE SOLD, For CASH, or good BONDS on Interest, FIVE valuable tracts of patented lands, on the branches of Little Coapehon, in Hampshire county, in Virginia, containing in the whole 1250 acres, which being situated in a very thriving country, now settling by great numbers of industrious farmers, from the Jerseys and other provinces, and convenient to three very good markets, viz. Alexandria in Virginia, George Town on Potowmack, and the flourishing town of Baltimore, must of course in a little time become very valuable; about one half of each tract is extraordinary bottom, capable of producing either hemp or grass, the upland is chiefly a limestone soil, and well stored with timber, and very proper for wheat, or any other grain; and as said tracts lie in a broken country, at a small distance from each other, they must ever command an extensive range for stock; the quitrent only Two Shillings sterling, per hundred. For terms, apply to JOHN COX, junior, Merchant, in Philadelphia; SAMUEL PURVIANCE, junior, in Baltimore Town; or JOHN STEELE, Tavern keeper, at the red house, 12 miles from Watkinsferry, on Patowmack. Mr. Steele will shew the lands to any person disposed to purchase.
