Washington family property papers, 1804-1836, 1832-1836 (bulk dates).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261232522

A group of surveys, deeds, and letters, relating to land along the Kanawha River in Virginia (now West Virginia) which was inherited by Bushrod Washington and George C. Washington from President George Washington. The surveys were done in 1808 and show the division of the property into a tract for Bushrod Washington and another for G.C. Washington. In the 1830s, G.C. Washington exchanged letters with William Sterrett in his attempts to sell a portion of the property, either his own portion or possibly Bushrod's portion since a court had ordered that sold in order to settle his estate. George Long bought the land in 1836.
