Somerset County Maryland Deed
Tyaskin District
Liber H, f. 400 

Be it remembered that on the 28th day of April, 1840 
a certain Isaac JONES, George E. R. J. COLLIER and 
other citizens of Somerset County exhibited to the 
commissioners of Somerset County and petitioned in 
writing in manner and form and of following to wit:  
"The undersigned citizens of the county, particularly 
of Tyaskin District request the opening of a public 
road from the county road near Tyaskin Church to 
Wetipquin Creek near Ryall's store. Great inconvenience 
has hitherto been experienced in using the private 
road already opened in consequence of its not being 
sufficiently cleared and of a boggy place, almost 
impassable with a carriage or cart. At the termination 
of the road on the creek there are two stores and two 
shoe making establishments which with it being the 
place for holding the semi-monthly magistrate meeting 
renders it a place of great public resort and the 
necessity of a public road, which can be made at small 
expense has long been felt. We therefore respectfully 
hope your honor will take immediate measures to have a 
public road opened and constructed between the points 
aforesaid.
