Asking about the extent of Tolchester

[edit]

There is a historical marker called "Georgetown, Maryland" which is on state route 213 in this county just south of Cecil County, and which has, on hmdb.org :

"Erected by act of Assembly of Maryland, May 1736, on a tract called Tolchester. A base of Continental supplies, 1775 to 1783. Port of Entry and ferry landing. George Washington stopped here enroute to points north and south."

I sent in the following comment to that site regarding that marker:

"It has come to my attention that there is another Georgetown in Kent County, about due west of Chestertown and near Chesapeake Bay and Tolchester Beach. On THIS marker, a tract called Tolchester is mentioned, thus creating a question about the extent of such tract. Both Georgetowns of Kent County, Maryland have wikipedia entries; do not confuse them with the Georgetown which became part of Washington DC." Carlm0404 (talk) 19:59, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
