    March Court of 1748[/49]
    the March Court of 1748 convened on the third Tuesday and twenty-first day of March. Present were the Worshipful Justices Daniel Dulany, Chief Justice, Nathaniel Wickham, Junior, Henry Munday, William Griffith, John Rawlins, Thomas Prather, THomas Beatty, THomas Cresap, Joseph Chapline and George Gordon.
    One interesting thing about this list of Justices is the fact that only one of these men, Thomas Beatty, was listed in 1733 among the taxables of Monocacy HUndred of Prince George's County, which was essentially that part of Prince George's County which is now Frederick County.
    This indicates that these men were in a sense imposed upon Frederick COunty by the Government of Proprietary.

Henry Mundny (1682(2-1751) was somewhat older than his friend
and tuture neighbor Joseph Ogle, but was nevertheless also involved
in the land disputes on the west side of the Susquehanna River in
today's Pennsylvania. Mundny was Engllsh and, II the same man, ?rst
appears in the records as a witness and dcévisoe named in the 1710
will or Wllllam Howard ln Baltimore County.“5 He was of London Grove
Township, Chester County, when in 1736 a number of individuals asked
him to lntercede with Governor Samuel Ogle for help In obtaining land
in the disputed area west of the Susquehanna. Munday went to
Annapolis where he joined with Edward Lcct and Charles Higginbothnm
in obtaining orders for Thomas White as Deputy Surveyor to lay out
ZOO-acrc parcels for each of them and for 49 other individuals named
by them. Allegedly some or all 0! the land represented parcels
previously taken up on warrants from Maryland by Germans who had
subsequently turned to Pennsylvania 101' support and protection.
Munduy denied that this was their intent, claiming that they wanted
only land which was vacant. In any event it was Cresap who pointed
out specific lands available for survey, and supposedly received arms
from the Maryland authorities tor use in ousting such ”detecting"
Germans.
This so-called "Chester County Plot" was discovered by the
Pennsylvanians and warrants were issued for arrest of its principals,
especially Henry Munday. On November 15m he was captured at his
home. Papers were found which allegedly incriminated him in the
"plot," and detailed the names or the land applicants. Seven of these
were members of the Chatlton family. Munday was taken to
Philadelphia as a prisoner. Edward Leet was also arrested, but
Higginbotham mcaped.56
    missionaries. Gettschalk in March 1748 noted in his diary :1 visit at
Jonathan HEger‘s place [near today's Hagerstown] from ”Captain and
Justice [Thomas] Prather" who "brought greetings from Major Mundey
and Colonel Cressop." In July of the same year tour missionaries
arrived in the Monocecy area from Bethlehem, Penmaylvnnia. Here
they separated. Brothers Owen Rice, 3 Welshman, and John Hopson
turned to the southeast toward the lower parts of Maryland and
Virglnga, while Brothers August Gotmeb Spangenberg64 and Matthew
Reuz8 headed northwest to Antietam and Conococheague. Major Munday
went with the latter palr all the way "from Menakesy to the South
Branch of the Potomac." On July 12th they passed over South
Mountain and came that same day to "Cenlgotschik" where they
Inspected a remarkable cave extending into the earth some three
hundred yards and having a. capacity at its opening for a thousand
people to stand. They stayed the night at the home 0! Jonathan
Huger, bnptlzing his daughter and the granddaughter of Father
Lcescher whom they had met on the way. On July 13th they visited
several plantations and then came to the home of Captain Beret
where they held religious services, preaching to a number or people in
English. They stayed the night here and on the following day traveled
northwest over the high mountains "called the Blue or North Ridge."
On July 16th they came to the home of "Colonel Christopher
Griswp,"66 who owned a fertile piece of land towards the source or the
'Potomack" which he had purchased trom the "Shamanos."67 On Sunday
July 17th, Spangenberg preached a sermon in English to a number of
people and then his party left to cross the North Branch of the
Potomac and spend the night with Urbnnus Kramer en the South
Branch. There on Monday morning Meier Munday, "a man of 66 years
of age" who had accompanied them "more than n hundxcd miles," left
'wlth tears in his eyes" to return to "Manakesy."68
Henry Mundey had other interests far afield from his home.
With Thomas Cresap he witnessed a deed transferring "ChanCey" from
Richard Touchstone to George Moore, Sr.69 He signed a petition for a
road [rem the mouth or the Conococheague to llarrts' Ferry, Le., trom
WimemSport to Hagerstown and on to Harrisburg. In 1744 he signed a
further petttlon, along with 60 others Irom today's Washington County,
for a road via Richard Touchstone's.
Henry Munday‘s will or January 28, 1751 was the fourth to be
recorded in the new Frederick County. By it he left 200 acres of
'Trura," struck off from the upper end of the original tract opposite
William Bailey, to his son-ln-law Benjamin Riggs. His daughter
Henrietta Riggs and her children were the only descendants
    Occasionally early settlers came Individually, not titling
together in reasonably cohesive neighborhoods and not particularly
defining a specific time or place related to other individuals Ln the
early history or the Monocacy Valley. But ,_ _ _ - _ - .
they were present and should be acknowl- { ’x'
edged. j t"
One such individual, Nathaniel .' ‘H
Wickham by name, played a most ' ‘x
significant and influential role in tho ,’ El \
actual formation 0! Frederick County ‘ :'
itself. He was a man who deserved the ,’ /'
gratitude of his contemporaries, yet who I '
was destined to bear the saddest of fates. 1' .'
For many years he was known as ‘ ,r’
Nathaniel Wickham, Jr., because his father, ”"\ , »’
with the same name, lived to be over n ’z’
ninety years or age.1 The senior Wickham \
had married as his second wife Sabina Barnard, widow of Thomas
Barnard. The two families undoubtedly had been friends'earlier, tor
Nathaniel Wickhnm witnessed Thomas Barnard's 1694 willfz and Luke
Barnard, Thomas’ son, named one of his sons for his step-father.
Presumably Nathaniel Wickham, Jr. was a son of his (uthur's earlier
marriage. The Niakhams owned land in lower Prince George's
County, where Nathaniel Sr. was listed as a taxable in Collington
Hundred m 17193 and both his son and he were taxables 1n Potomac
Hundred in 1733. The two Nathaniels, together with Luke Barnard,
contributed toward the erection of Rock Creek Chapel near what is
now Rockville in Montgomery County. From all indications in the land
records, the older Nathaniel seems to have stayed in present-day
Montgomery County.
Nathaniel Wickham, Jr. married Priscilla Tyler, daughter of
Robert and Mary Tyler“ and sister of Elizabeth Tyler who married
    Samuel Pgttenger. On January 1, 1721 the two brothers-in-law,
Nathaniel Wickham, Jr. and Samuel Pottenger, had a survey made for
1,000 acres in what is now Montgomery County. They called it
"Wickham's and Pottenger’s Discovery."5 In March of 1723 they had
another 400 acres surveyed in the same locale, and this they called
"Fellowship."6 The 1723 Prince George's County Court appointed
Nathaniel Wickham Jr. a ranger for that County and ordered him to
lay out a road from his plantation to Sugarland and another to the
mouth of Seneca Creek. These appear to be forerunners of today‘s
Maryland State Route 28 from Hunting Hill to Beallsville and Route
112 from Hunting Hill to Seneca. By his will of 1735 Samuel
Pottenger gave to each of his sons, Robert and John, 200 acres or
"Wickham's and Pottenger’s Discovery," the tract "which I bought of
Nathaniel Wickham, Jr."7 Nathaniel Wickham, Jr. had other land in
this area, for on March 9, 1748 he sold to William Cummings for five
pounds "all that tract of land called ‘Hope' near Little Monocacy and
near the upper road from Sugarland to MonocaCy Ferry."8
The ?rst piece of land in the back country which was laid out
for Nathaniel Wickham, Jr. was "Clarke's Discovery." An original
survey was made on June 14, 1734, but the patent went to John
Digges in 1737'.9 "Friends Good Will," on the other hand, was a survey
for John Digges, which was patented to Nathaniel Wickham, Jr., in
1742. Its beginning point was "in the back woods of Prince George's
County at the junction of Double Pipe Creek and Monocacy. This
Survey overlapped Henry Munday‘s "Trura" so that in 1744 the patent
had to be "vacated."10 Both parcels were in today's Carroll County.
On July 7, 1741 John Digges had 160 acres surveyed along the
Monocacy River with a beginning point "at a black oak tree on the
east side of Monocacy near a road leading from Robert Wilson's
towards his Lordship‘s Manor." This was “Papan [Paw Paw] Bottom,"
and the road referred to was the early Manor Monocacy Road
the :Potomac River" to his daughter Priscilla Wickham.

  4. Farm in 1776 SouthWest part was called TRURA and North Eastern part GORSUCK'S LUCK
    Henry Munday had Robert Ownings survey in 1738, a tract of land consisting of 158 acres
    and had it patented, in 1741, TRURA. It was resurveyed in 1747 and enlarged to 844 acres.
    TRURA laid around Detour, mainly in Frederick County, with 200 acres in Carroll County
    in the area of the Forest and Stream Club Road.
  5. The Biggs brothers, Benjamin and William, from Biggs Ford near Walkersville came next.
    Benjamin patented BENJAMIN'S GOOD LUCK, 100 acres, in 1745 and BENJAMIN'S GOOD WILL of
    311 acres of 1746. He had a resurvey on these and enlarged BENJAMIN'S GOOD LUCK
    to 1118 acres in 1762, some of which laid on the other side of the Monocacy River
    (Castle Farms area). Benjamin Biggs married Henry Munday's daughter and later inherited
    the 200 acres of TRURA lying in Carroll County.
    7. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gorsuch-47
    In 1761, David Gorsuch was granted 320 acres on the Monocacy River called GORSUCH'S LUCK.
    It took up SPARK'S CHANCE which had not been patented.
    This later was taken up in SIX BROTHERS.
  7. According to Samuel Weybright in 1895, the Dotterer family was one of the first families.
    "Conrad Dotter came from Pennsylvannia, settled and built near the forks of Double Pipe Creek
    and Monocacy, intending to build a mill."
    He bought 252 acres of TRURA and had it resurveyed in 1804, calling it SO FAR SO GOOD.
    "He went so far as to dig a race from Double Pipe Creek to the Monocacy River.
    An extreme flood came, the highest ever known, and the family had to be rescued by boats
    from the windows.
    After the water abated, they found the old brooder and her litter in the hay mow."
    He decided to move to Detour. "His son, John, bought the home farm and lived in it during
    his life and died in April 1849." In 1837 and 1841 John was assessed for a brick house and
    log barn and 245 acres. In 1854 Joshua Dotterer was deeded the land. In 1856, 169 acres of
    it was sold to Jacob Saylor(Doug Garver's).
