About the Item
Matthew Tilghman Goldsborough II, who was frequently generous to friends unable to secure bank loans on their own, found himself strapped for cash and needing to sell a few properties. This piece details the 192 acres known as East Avon: farmland, woods, two miles of waterfront, dock, boathouse, delightful climate, six hours from New York and four hours from Philadelphia!
