Hi to you All, Thanks sooooo much for all the help. I've been busy looking up on the different ideas that different ones sent. I found another map with all the first settlers names but it doesn't cover the Manor lands. But it gave me a refferance point to find the actual Manor. It was 5 miles S. of Rush Run, 9 miles West of Bradocks Pass, 3 miles west of Beaver Creek. The Patomic Runs along most of the South/western edge. In one of Washingtons letters he says that Fort Frederick is 50 east of Fort Cumberland and 14 miles west of Conococheague. In another letter he talks about the fact that the Indians have been killing a lot of the settlers and most of the rest have run off to one of the forts for protection. These dated 1756/58 Checked on the wording of the Patent to Matthias Purgett. Couldn't understand all these different dates. Well, in the Maryland Archives I found a section that told about these types of patents and how they were set up as Fealty warrents. Puts everything in a shorter time period I looked again at the 1715 map and it says Winchester and Frederick Town. Thanks again, you guys!!!!!!!!!!! I'm keeping looking. Diane
When first settled, Winchester was referred to as Fredericktowne but when officialCharter issued, it was called Winchester.
