I'm forwarding this for Linda Boorom who is having difficulty with her ISP

Marilyn,
Carricos Hope, Maidstone, Preston ect. are/were all in present day Charles
Co., MD. The original patents for both Maidstone & Preston were in St.
Mary's Co., but the boundary changed in the 1690's between the 2 counties. I
have only begun looking into the tract Preston, so can't state for certain,
but I think it too was in the vacinity of Maidstone & other lands owned by
the Gates family.
Maidstone appears to have been just west or south west of Hughesville,
between present day Burnt Store Rd & Carricos Mill road, just above what is
shown on the google map as Gilbert Lake AKA Jameson Lake. It appears to all
be a modern subdivision with very expensive houses right now.
Whether or not the George Keeth/Keith was father of Joanna Carrico who
married James Carrico son of John Carrico, I can't tell, it may have been
George's father, also George who had lease a part of Maidstone from Peter
Carrico in 1730.
