    On the trail of Joseph Prigmore 1720 on Maryland. He was granted "Nancy's Fancy' 341 ac in 1764.

    On September 5, 1767, Samuel swapped part of his newly named Long Looked For property for a tract belonging to Joseph Prigmore named Exchange that was part of Nancy's Fancy. The swapped portion of Long Looked For was called Friendship. The Exchange property completely surrounded the Funk's Run tract that Samuel already owned and was adjacent to the eastern part of Long Looked For, which he retained. This transaction resulted in a nice consolidation of Samuel's Mt. Aetna property. The eastern boundary of Exchange generally follows present day Mt. Lena Road. Samuel received 50 Pounds of Maryland money for his part and paid 10 to Mr. Prigmore, apparently netting a profit of 40 Pounds. Fig. 7 shows the configuration of the Mt. Aetna property after this transaction.

    Well, well...Mt Lena Road is about a mile long in Boonboro, MD at the edge of Fredrick. Go to google maps and put in Mt Lena, Boonboro.

    On the edge of Greenboro Park, should be a nice trip
