Mary, According to information researched by Louise Hienton, Thomas Dickenson acquired both Dickensons Delight and Dickensons Lott in 1687, while that part of Maryland was still in Charles County. Here are the references she gives: Dickensons Delight - Mar 20, 1687 - L22 f 377 Dickensons Lott - Dec 26, 1687 - L22 f 321 Near by is another tract of land "Oxmonton" acquired by William Hutchinson and John Lenham (I suspect this is John Lanham). The reference given is: Oxmonton - Oct 3, 1694 - L BB#3 f 168 These lands are southwest of present day Clinton and are north of Piscataway Creek. -- Carol Askey Maryland USGenWeb Coordinator Allegany & Prince George's County MDGenWeb Coordinator
