w WHEN the time came that the
Nn/ Rambler could resume this
" " work he decided to start
at Good Hope. He be-
lieved it a place which had not been
written of before, and he knew that
1t is a very old place and in sec
tion that was settled earlier than
parts of the District west of the
Eastern Branch. He thought that it
would be good beginning to find
when and by whom the name was
given to the place and region.
The names Good Hope" Good
Hope Hill and Good Hope road" are
older than any man, but how old they
are is not known and perhaps cannot
be learned. The Ramblers first as
sumption was that Good Hope was a
tract name-that is, a name given to
a piece of wild land or land to which
no man other than the king claimed
title, by some colonist who obtained
title from the lord proprietary of
Maryland, who obtained his right
from the English crown. He assumed
that if Good Hope We're not Il tract
name it must be the name of u farm
created by the subdivision Of a grant.
He assumed that if Good Hope We're
farm. that farm was a part of the
original grant called Chichester or
of that grant northeast of chi hester
called None Such.
There is not among the land rec
ords of Annapolis reference TO a tract
called Good Hope. There were grants
n If of

name came to be Il part of the Dis
trict.

Branch, was surveyed for James Gore
in 1913, and the tract of Good Luck.
adjoining Col. Darnelrs land, named

farm name has been temporarily set
aside. Farm names, such as Cole

1t is probable that he who set up
the tavern at the road junction
named il Good Hope Tavern, just as
he might have named it Good Cheer
Tavern, Blue Dragon Tavern or Red
Lion Tavern. Along the roads today
you will see that persons with a
weakness or a strength for catchy
names have refitted a tobacco barn
as the Purple Orchid Tea House or
have changed the name of the Dro-
vers and Farmers Hotel to Green Per-
simmon Inn.
We will perhaps come to the be-
ginning of Good Hope Tavern as the
Rambler follows his work. 1t was a
tavern in 1899. and there are. indica-
tions that il was well known and
perhaps old at that time.
