      From Scott Carter Williams in September 2013. This is just a little tidbit of information that hopefully will be further fleshed out in the future.

      We have entered the forest of Rachels now, and the "Sale of Fountain Inn" saga. We researched this topic closely a few years ago, and need to bring Team MOEM up to speed slowly. Let me put it this way "We made a PowerPoint slideshow thst explains it".

      In a word, the sale of Fountain Inn was a key transaction that represented a financial watershed for the settler families of Federal Hill. In these transactions, they sold their interests in key coal lands (and access routes) to the Maryland Mining Co, which went bankrupt in pretty short order. Our ultimate take away was this: "our local clanfolk came out on the smart end of the deal". The Fountain Inn transaction foreshadowed other, larger deals that set up the era of "Big Coal" in our native lands - and benefited our ancestors well.

      So, not a short story, but one worth capturing at MOEM if we can tell it succinctly . . maybe maps will help :)

    Map Showing Daniel McKenzie, Moses McKenzie and Joshua McKenzie-Elizabeth Winters Property
    This map is a portion of the document entitled "Map of Military Lots, Tracts and Escheats 1874 Western Maryland". The three lots highlighted in green, 3552, 3554 and 3569 belonged to Daniel McKenzie (b. abt. 1752). He acquired the land as a "settler" before the land was carved up and given to RW veterans. Lots 3417 and 3562 highlighted in pink are referenced in a deed from Joshua McKenzie and his wife Elizabeth Winters in Folio M Page 570-72 Allegany County Records. The writer thinks this land was owned by Elizabeth's father, George Winters III and may be that "real estate" referenced in a deed in Folio M page 537-39 Allegany County Records. George Winters is listed in "History of Cumberland" page 266 as having already settled on the land west of Fort Cumberland before the Deakins Survey was completed in 1787. Finally, Lot 3416 circled in dark blue was awarded to Moses McKinsy as a result of his service in the RW.
