In March of 1732 the proprietor of the Provence of Maryland desired to attract settlers to the Northern and the Western areas of his territory. Any person having a family to come to the land within three years of the proclamation and actually settle on the land could have two hundred acres without payment for 3 years. After 3 years the settler had to pay to the proprietor four shillings sterling for every hundred acres.
      —The colonies induced the French and Indian War which began in 1755. All settlements of the western parts of Frederick County eventually came under attack. They were killed, tortured and buried out by the French and Iroquois Indians.
