Hi Folks,
I have three to four days next week to visit Maryland and do some
research.
I'd welcome any suggestions on where to go to best use my
time.
My main interest is in the following tidbit that I received from another
researcher:
"The first record of our Nicholas in America had been near Little
Conogeguoge (Conacaheaque) Creek, Wilmington, Hardwich County, Delaware
(This would be located almost directly below New Castle, Delaware or
'Swanwick'.) about 1740. However, recently, information has been
located
in the Land Office of Annapolis, Maryland. There is certificate #
78
for
100 acres of land to Nicholas VanEman patented on 9 October 1739.
The
land,
known as VanEman's Struggle, is located in what was then Prince
George's
County and later was Frederick County, Maryland. Neighbors included:
Swearingen, Twigs, Cresaps, Williams, Stewarts, Howards, Millers,
Butler,
Nelson, Davis, Snowdon, Graybill, Moore, Chew, Friends. (all
surnames
also
turn up in Washington County, Pennsylvania.) Frederick County
Maryland
Land
Record Abstracts: Liber B, pages 19-21."
Is there a library that would have microfilms of original records from
Frederic County and from Prince George?
Another family line is the Sprigg/Nuthall/Pratts of early Maryland-
Calvert
County, St. Marys, and Prince George.
I don't want to waste time traveling from county to county if the
records
are easily available in one place.
Thanks for any tips on research in these areas.
Donna
