30th. Some of our Co. spent part of the Day
in Walking over the Farm & Viewing the Land
situation for a Grist Mill &c. It is a beautiful kindly
soil the greater part of it high land & well
Timberd--as is also the Valley or Bottom Land,
of which there is about 100 Acres. This
Valley or bottom, which runs from here to
Lake Erie

(about 9 or 10 miles distant North West)
it looks very probable was once a part of the
Lake & is very rich. Our Friends have near
30 Acres Cleard & Clearing & the Oats, Wheat,
& Vegetables grow very fine--to the West of
the House about 60 yards is a beautiful spring on the Edge of
the Hill about 110 feet from the surface
of the Valley, which this spring is con
ducted into a bark Spring House--into a
Water Trough &c. in a very convenient &
simple manner. Part of the Dwelling
House is made of logs--about 13 feet square
a second addition is constructed of the
Bark of the Black Ash, sewed with the
