Resources for Maryland Land Patents and Maps- By Janine Wilson
For members only. Please, log in .
Many Shipleys patented land tracts in Maryland, beginning with Adam Shipley .1, who arrived near Annapolis in 1668. This means that they were granted rights to a particular parcel of land by Lord Baltimore. It can be very interesting to see exactly where our Shipley ancestors patented land, and it can be helpful in genealogical research. Some Shipleys patented multiple tracts of land, and they did not necessarily live on the land that they patented. But it can be helpful to see when families patented land near each other, which might imply a connection. This paper provides information on where to find copies of the original Maryland land patents online. Following that, there is a description of where to find maps that show the location of some of these tracts of land; and additional information about historical maps and early tax records that can be useful in genealogical research.
