    1. [LDR] Richard Lockwood's 150A
    2. marjorie adams
    3. For John Lyon: Is the info below enough for you to locate the 150 A plantation that Richard Lockwood/Logwood bequeathed in his 1737 Somerset will to his son Benjamin? In 1734 Richard owed rent on "Patrick's Discovery" 150A, Baltimore Hd. Somerset. Then in 1745 Armwell Lockwood was on the Tax List for the same property name. Benjamin stated in an autobiographical piece that he was raised near Trappe which I believe was near present day Berlin. Richard was on the Somerset Baltimore Hd. Tax List beginning in 1723 through 1737. In 1723 and 1733-1736 he is next to Richard Hudson; in 1737 he is between Samuel Hopkins and William Walton. In 1738 Mary Lockwood is on the List and in 1739-1740 both Mary and the oldest son Armwell are on the List as Heads of house. In plats.net the only property I find for names near him that has an early enough date to be relevant is Balld [Bald?] Beach pat 1708 by Wm Walton and Richard Holland. Can you find anything that could have been the 150A? Thanks -- Marjorie "Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars."~ Henry Van Dyke
