Excerpted from the Creswell Letter:

Mr. Harvey TERRY, of Perquimans county, has purchased the old Summerset [sic] plantation, the residence of the late Josiah COLLINS, Sr.  With ample means, and the able management of Mr. TERRY this grand old place, with its thousands of acres of the most fertile land in the State, is to be brought back to its former productiveness and splendor.
