a collection of documents, photos, news articles pertaining to the Stier land on the border of Frederick and Montgomery Counties, Maryland, at Sugar Loaf Mountain. The 1798 tax assessment for Frederick County shows Jacob Stier owning acreage in a tract known as Littleworth in Sugar Loaf and Linganore Hundred.
Based on information contained in the Tracey land record collection at the Carroll County Historical Society in Westminster, Littleworth was very near Sugarloaf Mountain in southern Frederick County, very close to the Montgomery County line. The original patentees for Littleworth are listed as:
Dec 3 1767 Littleworth 25 acres Balser Gachs, Liber BC&GS#40, folio 131
Nov 20 1769 Anthony Hunter, Patent 25, Liber BC&GS#36, folio 135
Sept 14 1771 Resurvey on Littleworth 374 acres, Zachariah White and Daniel Hunter, Certificate 374, Liber BC&GS#46, Folio 302.
Jan 24 1774 Resurvey on Littleworth, Geo. Silver, Patent 374, Liber BC&GS#46, folio 302.
Location of Littleworth is described as S.S. of a small branch, a draft of Rocky Branch.
George Silver conveyed parts of the Littleworth tract to Jacob Stier and to Francis Deakins in November 1774.
