Alphabetical List of Allegany & Garrett County Land Patents
Circa the Early 1700s to about 1799

Last Update: May 8, 2011

NOTE: This is alphabetical list of the patents found at Allegany & Garrett County, MD Land Patents. This is an ongoing project and is not a complete list of County patents.

Early land patents and deeds often have valuable references to roads, creeks, houses, mills and other landmarks. Oftimes these are the only recorded information on the location of a landmark. Images of the original hand-written documents are available from the MD State Archives. By transcribing these images to text, it makes them searchable for the information within.

I have provided images (.jpg) of the original documents as noted below ("Orig."). For the most part, I'm starting with the earliest land patents and working forward. If you would like to help transcribe the documents, please contact me by email and let me know which document you want to work on. (More patents coming...)

All original patent images, before edited for size, are courtesy of the MD State Archives - MDLandRec.net
