The Patent called "Glass House" was located in Cecil County, Maryland, part of the 7th District (also known as the North Susquehanna Hundred).If you contact the Genealogical Society of Cecil County Maryland you can purchase the Patent List which also includes the Patent Map.The Patent Map of the 7th District is large so I am unable to scan/copy.The present day location is not the easiest to note so I will try my best to describe.If you go to Google Maps and type in Harmony Chapel Road (located in Port Deposit, Maryland), this road was in the center of Glass House patent.Glass House was located east of present day Route 22 (Susquenhanna River Road) and Susquenhanna River, South of Octoraro Creek and Basin Run Road, but North of McGlothin Road and southern tip of Dr. Jack Road.Keep in mind the original Patent was approximately 500 acres and was originally acquired by Richard Gray in 1678.I am a direct descendent of Randall Death and his first wife Martha through their son John Death (Randall later married Honour after the death of his first wife).Randall was appointed overseer of a road from the mill at Rock Run to Peach Bottom, Pennsylvania in 1731, and at one time he was a vestryman of St. Mary Anne's Episcopal Parish in North East, Cecil County, Maryland.Hope this helps.Regards, Stephen
