Camp Increases Land Holdings


Recommended Posts

Interesting that the State's Commissioner of Land Patents is also the Maryland State Chief Archivist. The Commissioner approves the patent and the Archives gets $50,000. That's a nice little bonus that goes to a good cause. I've spent a lot of time at the Maryland State Archives doing genealogy research, it's a great place.

Raisinenright, I was there last weekend too.

 

Yes, they thought they owned it and now they will have to buy it from the state.

 

My understanding is that In colonial times when the state granted land it was not given for free but rather in exchange for something, usually for recruiting and transporting new immigrants in an effort to populate the state.
