ANTHONY CHILCOTT, SR. CAN BE FOUND FROM CENSUS RECORDS, LAND RECORDS, AND WILLS IN DORCHESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND CIRCA 1640. ANTHONY CHILOTT AND HIS WIFE MARGARET ?? WERE PROBABLY FARMERS. ANTHONY CHILCOTT RECEIVED A PATENT FOR 300 ACRES FROM MAJOR THOMAS TAYLOR. TAYLOR RECEIVED HIS LAND FROM LORD BALTIMORE (I DO NOT KNOW FROM WHICH ONE)
OF THE CALVERT FAMILY. THE 300 ACRES OF LAND AWARDED TO ANTHONY, CHILCOTT, SR. WAS CALLED "WORLD'S END" THERE IS STILL A MARKER IN DORCHESTER COUNTY, MD. A CHILCUTT COUSIN FOUND IT ON A TRIP TO MARYLAND, AND IT STILL SAYS "WORLD'S END". THE PICTURE HE TOOK IS VERY GRAINY, BUT YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE WORDS.
