<blockquote>

ONE ''James Ransone'', of ''Gloucester'', the 23d of ''November'', 1670 demised 50 acres of land, which is now in my possession, to ''Abraham Savey'' and ''Sarah'' his wife, for 99 years; and covenanted that he, or his heirs, ''is'' at the expiration of that time, would make another lease, for the like term, to the lessees, or their heirs, ''&c''. they paying 100 pounds of tobacco. I long ago purchased the right of the lessees, and ever since the expiration of the former term have been, and now are, ready to take another lease, and pay the tobacco, but I cannot discover who is the person entitled to the reversion. If he inclines to sell his reposes, I am willing to buy it for what it is worth.<br> G. Wythe.
