Ladies I must confess that originally seeing the name Tasker made me suspect who he might be or associated with. While I am Maryland born and live here my father's side settled in Franklin Co. , Pa. starting in 1729, but my mother's side were on the Ark & the Dove. Dr. Briscoe (Lord Calvert's doctor) and later arrivals were the Haddon's and also the Offutt's of Montgomery County, so seeing a land grant made me wonder who he was.While I have not made a study of these land grants and/or plantations, I ran across one some years ago which wetted my curiosity. The Royal Governor of Virginia at King George's edict issued a land grant of 3000 acres(approx.) to Levi Crooks one of my ancestors who formed the first American Ranger regiment in 1755 to protect the settlers along fhe fronties of Viirginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania during the American revolution. It turns out the land he granted Levi was actually in Pennsylvania and in Franklin County. There are records of this, but very vague and I have never found the actual location. Gordon Crooks
