Someone else will have to give you further pointers to refine the search. I have never been able to make the new search engine effectively work better than thousands of returns through which to page. Archives of Maryland http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/html/volumes.html Click "search" and type in a name. Sort by date. Land patents index: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/stagser/s1400/s1426/html/index54.html It's already sorted by name groups.
