Thomas Griffith

 Susquehanna River Connections

On 4 November 1662, Henry Ward (1638-1683) had 550 acres surveyed in Spesutia Hundred, Baltimore County, on the Susquehanna River at the northern-most bounds of Stockets Chance, called Mount Surredoe (Maryland Rent Rolls: Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties, 1700-1707, 1705-1724). Mount Surredoe is also transcribed as Montserada. 

Thomas Griff had a 500 acre tract of land called "Atrop" surveyed for him on the west side of the Susquehanna River on 1664 Dec 9. Thomas Griffith gave it to his partner Henry Haslewood, whose executors sold it to Richard Perkins and William Lofton.

A tract called "The Stopp," [could this be Eightropp?] laid out for George Yates March 24, 1679, is described as lying "at the head of the Bay between the lands of Captain Thomas Stockett, beginning at a bounded chestnut oak standing by a branch called Bournes branch, a bounded tree of the land called Bourn, and running up the Bay... to a bounded red oak a bounded tree of the land called Harmers Town." ^[1] 

In 1701 Daniel Johnson purchased 200 acres of the patent tract "Eightropp," lying on the Sassafras River, from William Loften, cooper, who signed with an X. This deed was witnessed by Thomas and Rachel Greenfield both of whom also signed with an X. Again, on 2 March 1702 Daniel Johnson, planter, purchased land, this time 32 acres from Richard and Mary Perkins, (cooper) part of 550 acres originally patented by Thomas Griffith. This deed is witnessed by Francis Smith  and John Browne. "Eightropp" was near Lapidum in present day Harford County, almost directly across the Susquehanna from Havre de Grace.

"Delf" was surveyed for Francis Stockett August 6, 1658, on rights for transporting himself, Thomas and Henry his brothers and nine servants. This tract lies on the bay between Spesutia Island and the mouth of Bush River or, between the mouth  of Romney Creek and a small creek which to this day is called Delf Creek. It seems probable that Stockett settled and lived on the tract during his residence in Baltimore county. It had an excellend harbor on Delf Creek and in 1658 he would have had for neighbors in the wilderness Major Samuel Gouldsmith at Gouldsmith's Hall on the bay across the mouth of Delf Creek and Captain George Utie, the brother of Colonel Nathaniel Utie, at the mouth of Romney Creek. Stockett sold the land to Thomas Thurston (Quaker) in 1669 after his emigration to Anne Arundel county. 

"Delf Island" was laid out for Francis Stockett July 4, 1661 between "Delf" and the mouth of Romney (then called "Rumley") Creek. It is the land which in later years was known as Taylor's Island. 

The land called "Rupalta" was surveyed for Henry Stockett June 27, 1661. It is described as "lying on the west side of the Susquehanna River, beginning at a small point respecting the lower end of Palmer's Island to the east," and is the land next to "Harmer's Town" above the mouth of the river. It was once known as "Upper Stockett's".

"Bourne" was surveyed for Thomas Stockett June 21, 1661. It lies about mid-way between the mouth of the Susquehanna River and the mouth of Swan Creek on the Bay on the little creek once called Bourn Creek. A tract called "The Stopp," laid out for George Yates March 24, 1679, is described as lying "at the head of the Bay between the lands of Captain Thomas Stockett, beginning at a bounded chestnut oak standing by a branch called Bournes branch, a bounded tree of the land called Bourn, and running up the Bay... to a bounded red oak a bounded tree of the land called Harmers Town." ^[2]
