I am directly descended from a guy that owned about 2/3 of the 1792 map. He sold off all but 500 acres to various people in 1774. He then gave the proceeds to his good friend Thomas Jefferson, to help ~~find~~ fund the war. My cousin still has his diary.

~~It was between 13 colonies and King George II~~

Good catch
