Later history: Jacob Root and Margaret Root sold 94a to Peter Shall and 90a to John Shall 6 Jul 1789. Peter and Rosanna Shall sold his 94a portion to Isaac Harman 4 Aug 1794. John Shall's widow Anna sold his 90a portion to John Bouse 2 Oct 1810 along with two other parcels. At some later point Solomon Harman was taxed for the 94a portion and Leonard Harper was taxed for the 92a portion. The 184a lay SW of (but not quite adjoining) the 202a Isaac Harman purchased from Peter Shall. Both are in the Harman Hills area of Pendleton Co and on the waters of Harper's Gap Run (formerly Scott's Run). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
