A River Ferry Leads to Drama!!!
Weirder things have happened!
Pennsylvania and Maryland have been bitching over a border dispute for years. It started when The Pennsylvania Charter of 1681 laid out some boundaries that were apparently inaccurate, so Maryland’s been fighting it ever since.
When John Wright made a ferry to cross the Susquehanna River this year, Pennsylvanians started inhabiting the disputed land. To challenge Wright, a Maryland guy named Thomas Cresap built his own ferry nearby. Maryland granted Cresap ownership over the disputed land and he’s making everyone living there pay up.
The disputed territory is only a 28 mile strip.
These selfish bitches need to learn some manners and share!

Via ancestry.com, I found out that my great x a bajillion Uncle Malachi was a witness to the dispute between Lord Baltimore and William Penn in the 1700’s over the same issue.
