Description Plan of Melford Farm

Survey of land of Melford Farm on the east side of the West River in Durham. Made by J. Roy of New Glasgow, December 1888.

William Matheson bought three plots of land (one from James Patterson and wife on Oct. 28, 1830, and one from Harris-Blackie on Oct. 13, 1818), which form to make the Melford farm lot. The lot borders thoses of Mrs. McDonald, William McDonald, and Thomas McDonald on the south; William Maxwell, Mrs. Roddick, and John Fraser on the north; John Fraser and Blaikie on the east; and the land of the school house and Durham Cemetery on the west.
