Does anyone have information on Baltimore/Ann Arundel Land records showing a property called Tanyard. I'm trying to find the original sale to Greenbury Treake during time frame 1765-1832. Land records of Baltimore County Liber A J number 222, folio 543 list a Mortgage Indenture between Samuel Brown and Greenbury Treakle for a part of tract known as Tanyard in Baltimore County. Release of mortgage is Index listing MSA WK 1292-1293 TK 277 pg. 496 (496-497). Baltimore site has original land survey. Owned by Emanuel Teal upto 1765 (certificate & plat says 637) 1702 Nathanel Stinchomb purchased it near Mr. Baker. Description says North side of the falls. Was told it would be southwest of Catonsville, in the atlas at the land called Oak Grove, Thistle Manuf. Co 117 acres, J Small Jr., J. A. Head.. Howard County and Anne Arundel put out a wonderful reproduction of the Atlas but have not found the same for Baltimore County so that I could see where the property is in relation to Ellicott City. Thanks for your help! ~Lisa Sproat Virginia Beach, VA sproats@msn.com
