Booth and Herold's Stay at Nanjemoy Creek

[SSlater]

Betty O. and Dave. I do not want to detract from your story, but I would like to add to it. Some time ago, I did some research on the "Loch Eleven" farm, which turned out to be "Lock Leven", and in the process bumped into the "Indian Town" Farm. (They are very close to one another).
My walk-through was several years ago, so things may have changed some since then, but here goes
#1. King's Creek is entirely on the "Indian Town" farm - both sides of the creek.
#2. Before my visit, the farm belonged to the Catholic Church and it was being held as a location for a new Catholic Parish, which never materialized. In fact, you passed the Church that was eventually built, near McConchie, MD on Rt. 6.
#3. I was told at that time that the "Indiantown Farm" was given to the "Maryland Parks" people and was to be developed as a Park. There were people living in that house near the Road Sign for the farm.
Laurie, do you remember this? I didn't keep good notes, because I was working on Loch Leven. I can't remember which web site the report was Posted. Maybe it is in the Courrier.
Dave, if this is important to you, I will rerun that trip, and back-up all I say. I can get a copy of the plat that shows Indiantown. I can then transfer the data to your Topo Map. The Plat was not in the Court House in La Plata, MD. I went to a building, on Rt. 301, very near the Sheriff's Office (South of town, West side of road) It seems it was a Tax Office of some kind. (In a Shopping Center).
If I can help - just give me my marching orders. I can see the Nanjemoy from my Living Room, so it isn't much travel for me. (Cawood used to watch the Nanjemoy from the same spot, LOL)
