On 11 Jun 1761, George YEAST and George NAGEL (now deceased), purchased, from Conrad HOGMAYER of Washington Co, MD, a land warrant for 63 acres of tract "Tan Bark"; Yeast was to have 29 acres and Nagel the remaining 34 acres. Monies were paid; but, in order to save the expense of two patents for so small a parcel, they agreed that Hogmayer should assign the warrant for the 63 acres to Nagel solely, who would obtain patent for the whole parcel and then convey to Yeast his portion. Before the conveyance was made, George Nagel died. The land adjoined that of Peter BRUNER. George WILES settled on 14 1/2 acres of the property and made improvements. (It's not totally clear; but there seems to have been a transaction with George Yeast on the part that wasn't reconveyed). George NAGLE d/ intestate, leaving widow - Margaret (who since married Jacob COONS) and four daughters - - Charlotte w/o Jacob FULLWILER* - Catherine w/o Michael EKENBERGER - Eve NAGEL - Elizabeth NAGLE Since Nagle's death, Wiles has approached the family and asked for the conveyance; but, they have refused and even took out a trespass order against him. They are also claiming dower rights on Wiles' portion; filed on 21 Nov 1783. Case was dismissed (not recorded). * (See Estate of Jacob FOOLWYDEE)
