Allegany & Garrett County, MD Land Patents Noted in Deacon's Survey of 1787 (Page 2)
From 1770 & On

Last Update: April 27, 2011

   Alphabetical      1700 to 1769      1770 and On  

A collaborative effort to transcribe Allegany & Garrett County hand-written land patents and deeds.

Early land patents and deeds often have valuable references to roads, creeks, houses, mills and other landmarks. Ofttimes 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 the images to text and posting them online, it makes the information accessible through online searches.

I have provided links to images (.jpg) of the original documents as noted below ("Orig."). In most cases, I've started with the earliest land patents and worked forward.

Land patents surveys are usually a 85% mix legal "heretofores and therefores", 13% property size and survey information and maybe 2% valuable descriptive information. Since it's the 2% we're after, it's easier to transcribe that and leave the rest for later.

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. Most patent listings below contain the information to find the patent on MDLandRec.Net. The website will ask for your password and you can apply for one, online, for free. BTW, the easiest way to search is to go to the page titled "Specific County" Land Survey, Subdivision, and Condominium Plats. In the lower list, select "Certificates, Patented" or Certificates, Unpatented" and search by number.

Surveys Not Found
Ashby's Discovery-
While this property can be found on both the 1787 and 1874 maps of military lots, I can find no survey. The location description for Swansylvania indicates the property was surveyed for Capt. Hugh Scott. While Scott may have had the survey done, there is no record of him being granted a land patent for this property. William Ashby owned two military lots, 1540 and 1542, which adjoined Ashbys Discovery but there no record of Ashby having ownership of the patent.

McClary's Land-
I can find no survey or patent for this patent. There were both McClarys and McClaylands patenting property during the period, but neither appears to have owned this property. An adjoining military lot, 1430, indicates the property is part of the Diadem.

Williamsons Discovery-
No survey or patent information can be found.
