Selby, in the right of his wife Emma, and on the south and southeast by Snead heirs. Sally Slocomb heired this land from her father, Solomon Marshall. These boundaries locate the land as the present H. Robert Tull home farm. Five years later, on 27 Dec 1888, James E. Justice sold these 100 acres to William J. Ardis for $900 (Acc Co Deeds 60, p. 328). (Mr. Charlie Ardis of Cedar Hall Road, Pocomoke City, Maryland, son of William J.

The land was located near Horntown, bordered on the north by lands of James Rowley (Corbin Hall property), on the east by Chincoteague Bay, south by a lot of John Marriner and the public road leading from said Bay to Horntown. There is no evidence that James E. Justice lived on this property, rather, that he was buying it for his youngest son, William Roy Justice. On 11 Jan 1910, James E. Justice bought, from James O. Owen and the heirs of George S. Miles, a one acre lot in Wattsville, containing a store house for $2250 (Acc Co Deeds 95, p. 104). This was the store in which his son, Quincey E.
