: Hugh Riley, and the many properties that he
: acquired (Riley's Discovery, Riley's Folly,
: Riley's Horse Pasture, Riley's Range,
: Riley's Lott) appear frequently in deeds of
: the early 18th century. The above-cited
: tracts are located in the northeast section
: of the County, in the vicinity of
: present-day Bowie. If you can come to our
: library (at Marietta, 5626 Bell Station
: Road, Glenn Dale, MD), you can spend lots of
: time looking them up in the Land Records
: abstracts that we have here, as well as
: court records. Eliphas (sometimes spelled
: Eliphar), appears also; in 1750 he applied
: for a license to keep an
: "ordinary" (tavern) in his home on
: the Eastern Branch - I have not found any
: confirmation about whether the license was
: granted or whether he did indeed operate the
: ordinary.
:
: Eliphas' will (1760) is on file at the
: Maryland State Archives in Annapolis - Liber
: #1, folio 517.
:
: I hope that you can come to the library - we
: are open every Saturday from noon to 4:00
: p.m., and can be reached there during those
: hours at 301-464-0590.
:
: Good luck with your search!
