On 20 Nov 1778, Peter MURSER (farmer from Cumberland Co, PA) made an agreement with Robert CRAWFORD (farmer) to purchase Crawford's 300 acres of land including plantation (on which Crawford lived), lying on main road leading from Frederick Town to Westminster Town for 4,000 pounds common money (half paid then with bond for remaining half); witnessed by William WINCHESTER and Christian PIPER. After final payment, Crawford would not convey a deed to Murser. In December 1784, court ruled the deed be conveyed. (not recorded)
