In 1767, he acquired ownership of 126 acres in Frederick Co, MD from Gerard Hopkins, Jun., of Ann Arundel Co., for only five shillings Sterling money. The parcel of land was called "None Left" and he continued to own part of that land until his death, and apparently lived on the same land, near Hyattstown and on or very near the present Frederick/Montgomery Co. line. In 1776, Montgomery Co. was created by splitting off part of Frederick Co. Thus, the physical location of his home probably did not change, but the land (or probably his home and at least part of the land) was in the area becoming Montgomery Co.
His will is dated 5 Nov 1767 and mentions his wife, Jane, and three sons - John, Elisha and Nicholas. His will was probated in 15 Mar 1780 in Montgomery Co, MD.[2]
