Philip Noland of Loundon Co., VA (New Research indicates that he died BEFORE 1794)

My research indicates that Philip Noland, Jr. that started the Noland's Ferry on the Potomack, died abt. 10 yrs. BEFORE 1794, as most researchers have in their databases, including mine until now. I believe that he died in either the late part of 1784 or 1785. See the newspaper article below. I have an original copy of the article if one is interested it it.


Virginia Journal & Alexander Advertiser

AGREEABLE to the last will of Philip Noland, jun., deceased, will be told to the highest bidder on the premises, about two miles and an half above Noland's Ferry, on the fifteenth day of October next, if fair, if not the fair day, the said Noland's dwelling Plantation, containing at least 213 acres. This plantation, as to soil, water, meadow, and orchard, is equal to any land of the quanity on Potomack river; the orchard has made 3000 gallons of cyder a year. Said land lies on the river about three quarters of a mile , on which is a dwelling-house, kitchen, meat-house, and a new barn. The isituation of the place is very beautiful and healthy. --The money must be paid as the children come of age; that is in five years one hundred pounds, and one fourth part of the balance in nine years, one fourth inten years, one fourth in eleven years, and one fourth in thirteen years. The purchaser must give bond, with apprved security, for the payment of the money and interest. The interest must be paid annualy, for the support of the children, other - wife the bonds shall be liable to be put in suit for the recovery of the principal and interest. -- On the above land is a fine limestone quarry, within 400 yards of the river, where a large quanity of lime might be made, and if the river should be made navigable, in a little time pay for the land.-- On the same day, at the aforesaid place, will be sold some cattle, horses and hogs; also, some corn, fodder and wheat, on one years credit, giving bond and approved security.
