Bill of Sale to Christopher "Weause," 15 July 1760. [I believe there was a clerical error in the year. Frederick can't sell his property before he even applies for it in 1769.] Frederick "of Cumberland County, Province of Pennsylvania" [this was before the creation of Westmoreland County in 1773 so Cumberland County included a very large area]. Christopher Weause was "of Fredrick County, Colony of Virginia." The land was situated on the North side of "Yough=Agaria river about two miles below the mouth of Jacobs Creek" for 15 pounds and for the penal sum of 60 pounds. Recorded 25 July 1783, Vol. A p. 337. |

The land, including his improvement, was on Youch River. Frederick sold this land to Christopher Hays by Bill of Sale dated 15 July "1768."
