The Covington Enquirer, 12 Feb 1836, page 3
SALE OF LANDS
Pursuant to a decree of the Campbell Circuit Court, will be sold at the door of the Courthouse in Newport, on the 22nd day of February next, on a credit of 12 months to the highest bidder, 500 acres of land on Licking River about 16 miles above Newport, also a likely Negro girl slave, belonging to the heirs of Capt. George Harris, deceased, late of the aforementioned county.
The Negro girl is about 12 years of age and very likely. The land lies in four separate farms viz; one farm commonly known by the name of Harrisburg, containing 188 acres, upon which a town has been laid off and some lots sold, but they have all bee repurchased excepting 9 or 10 lots. This farm will be sold subject to that encumbrance.
Also a farm of 152 acres on the opposite side of the River with its improvements. On this farm the Widow Harris has had her dower assigned to her and it will be sold subject to that encumbrance. Also two other farms with the improvements. One of these contains 100 acres and the other 50 acres each having improvements on them.
It is deemed unnecessary to give a minute description of the premises as the purchaser will be required to give bond and approved security in case of the sale of the lands and the Negro.
Due attendance will be give by Samuel Baker, Commissioner Jan 30, 1836.
