cultivation;   The farm is irregularly divided into three fields and
has been cultivated to the fancy of its owner   We in consideration
of the Scarcity of Lumber and the financial embarrasments
of the state (the latter being reported to us by one of the Guardians)
recommend that it shall be cultivated one third annually in
rotation;   that clover shall be sown every spring and that the
young clover shall not be pastured untill the middle or last of
May

At the southwest end of the farm and on the south side of the
public road is a new two story frame stone house & Dwelling
attached 16 by 32 feet; frame kitchen attached 12 by 26 feet
a garden in the rear of Dwelling & store House supposed to
contain ¼ of an acre enclosed with Hemlock paling;   a frame
out house 12 by 24 feet      This property is universally in
good order   We estimate its annual rent at one hundred
dollars current money
