New England Farmer (Boston, MA)
13 January 1872
The farm called Hazel Plain, in Prince William County, Va. (better known as the Chinn farm), was sold recently for eight dollars per acre, to Mrs. Mary A. Downman, executrix. This farm is a portion of the plateau upon which were fought the first and second battles of Manassas. When the war commenced it was under a high stat of improvement, and the dwelling house upon it was one of the finest in this section of the State, but that scourge devastated it, and the open fields and young pines and shattered mansion all now bear evidence to the desolating conflicts of which it was the scene.
