BOHEMIA MANOR.
| From tie Cecil Democrat
No, /,

Several letters have, of late, appear
ed in the public prints, purporting to
give the history CT that interesting re-
gion of Cecil county, which bears the
name of Bohemia Manor" In these
both of figures and of fects, to correct
which, and to present me statements
relative to the subject, that have never
before appeared in the newspapers, is
the object of this communication.
The territory OF Maryland was gran
ted in 1882, by King Charles the First,
of England, to Sir George Calvert
(whose title was Lord Baltimore); but
before the charter was completed he
died. Cecil Calvert; his eldest son, and
heir to his estate and title, obtained the
grant intended for his father, and ap-
pointed his brother Leonard, Governor
of this new province.
1t seems that Cecil Calvert (the sec.
ond Lord Baltimore) laid claim not only
to what Is now the State of Maryland,
but to all the land and water east of it
as far as to the present State of New
jersey.
This claim, so far as it referred to
the Delaware, or South river, as it was
then called, was disputed by Governor
Stuyvesant, of New Amsterdam (now
| New York;, who sent an agent to con-
fer with the Governor of Maryland in
| reference thereto.
This agent was Augustine Herman,
or Heermans, an office holder land
owner aud man of influence in New
| Amsterdam. He was Bohemian by
birth, and a surveyor or draughtman
| by profession. 1t is said that he pre-
pared q map of the country for the
| Governor of Maryland in consideration
of which he received in 1860 patent
for q tract of land embracing nominally
four thousand acres, but in fact nearly
four times that much.
This tract is bounded on the east by
