dert. deputy surveyor for Prince
Georges County, to adjust dispute
over twenty-seven and one-half acres
which one claimant held to be un-
patented and another claimant held
to be covered by the patent of None
Such.
II other years the Rambler has
written of the Youngs OF Gis-
borough George Washington Young
inherited Nonesuch from his father.
Nicholas, and in 1898 bought Gis-
borough and made that his home, re-
tanning ownership of Nonesuch. He
was one of the rich men of the East
ern Branch country, which. of course,
means that he must be classed among
the rich men of the District in his
time.
Quite at random the Rambler turn :
ed to record Of Washington County
assessments in 1855. In that record
George Washington Young is as
sessed at s65.50O. He then owned
624 acres Of Gisborough and $50 acres
called Nonesuch, though Nonesuch
as patented contained 106 acres. On
the Nonesuch tract George Washing
ton Young was assessed on nine
horses, three cattle, a carriage as
sessed at $3.50, two wagons at $50
each. two OK carts at $50 and a cart
at $50. On the Gisborough tract he
was assessed on eight horses. thirty
five cattle and three carts. He was
also assessed on fifty eight slaves
valued at s20,S00, the names of some
of those slaves being given in the
assessors list as Barney, Elias,
George, Vincent. Glenn. Stephen, Mace,
