1798 Frederick County Assessment of
TaneyTown
Anne
Cissel
Information
listed below is Names of Lot Owner,
Lot Number, By Whom Rents Paid,
Changes and Additions since last
assessment (the previous assessments
would have been 1793, but these
records do not exist).
Note the
number of lots assessed to Mary Boylan.
She is the heiress of Jacob Good who
was Constable of Piney Creek Hundred
by 1769; Colonel in the local militia
during Revolution and Tavern Keeper at
the time of his death in 1783, leaving
wife Eleanor and daughter Mary. He was
the owner of several Taneytown lots.
Brothers Adam and George were also lot
owners.
A court case
in 1807 was brought by Mary (Boylan)
Gwinn, reciting that after she married
Thomas Boylan in 1789, she found he
had a wife living in Ireland. Boylan
ran away and she later married John
Gwinn by whom she had children. The
court was asked to annul her marriage
to Boylan, confirm her marriage to
Gwinn (by then deceased) and to
legitimize her children. These decrees
were passed 20 December, 1808.
