Stephanie,
Do you know the county in which the land was located?

Dear Stephanie,
Check out
http://books.google.com . Search on "Nottingham Company" .
There is a fair amount of background information there.
That was a lot of money and a significant amount of land, more than 1/2
square mile.
The deed may well be available, through the county Registrar of Deeds.

Subject: [MDGEN] Land Deed Questions
Hello, I am hoping someone on this list can answer a few questions
regarding a land deed in Maryland. I have a document where Josiah Lee is
purchasing 365 acres for 2530 pounds from the state of Maryland. It says
this is land confiscated from the Nottingham company, the date is 1781.
There is also the word "contra" at the top of the page. Can someone
tell me
what Contra is? Would this be a large land purchase being 365 acres and
2530 pounds for a man in his 30s? We are trying to determine if this is
Josiah Lee Sr. or Jr., I feel this would be a lot of money and land for a
younger man. What was the Nottingham Company? I'd appreciate some
thoughts
from people familiar with this area. Thank you very much. Stephanie
