Virginia Princess Anne County to wit:
I John J, Burroughs late clerk of the County Court of Princess Anne, do certify that I do verily believe that Dr. James N. McAlpine and Laura his wife were in 1860 and are now rightful owners in fee of the Farm opposite the farm of the late Edwd H. Herbert dec'd & David Murry dec'd. containing about two hundred acres. I further certify that is is my impression that Dr. James N. McAlpines whole Estate was assessed in 1860 considerably below $20,000. 
The Records of the Couty were removed by the federal military authorities of this District to the City of Norfolk in November 1863 and have not as yet been returned to the County. 
J.J Burroughs late
Clerk of Pr. Anne Co. Court
Sept 11, 1865
