Father's Will

The following information regarding the land owned by George and Margaret Teackle Hack and their descendants is quoted from James Egbert Mears' 1937 book, "Hack's Neck and Its People," page 6:

The largest grant of land in what is known as Hacks Neck was to Col. Southey Littleton, in 1659, of 2340 acres, which comprised a considerable portion of the southwest section of Hacks Neck between Butcher and Nandua Creeks, and perhaps more. In 1679 he bequeathed it to his son, Southey, Jr., and referred to it was 2270 acres. In 1728 Thomas Savage and Esther, his wife, deeded this 2270-acre tract to Levin and Leah Gale, his wife, and in 1731 Edward Mifflin and Mary, his wife, also made a deed for the same property to said Leah and Levin Gale, describing it: "A tract or parcel of land and marsh on Andua now in possession of said Gale which Col. Southey Littleton devised to his son, Southey, father of Leah Gale, bounded as follows: On the south side of Andua Creek; on the west by the main bay of the Chesapeake; on the north by Butcher Creek; on the east by the land of John and Daniel Rowles and the land which formerly belonged to Henry Selman, containing and laid out for 2270 acres. (Wills, &etc., 1731-37, p. 146). In 1756 Levin and Leah Gale, then of Somerset County, Md., in consideration of 1500 pounds, sold the same tract to Peter Hack, who in 1771 gave a deed to his son George, which reads (in part):.... "it being the plantation on which said George now lives, bounded as follows: Beginning at the tan vats at the head of a small creek or gut near Gale's old house and running a direct line across the neck to the northern corner of Richard Cutler's land (it being a corner tree between Richard Cutler, Peter Rogers, and Peter Hack), thence along the line of Richard Cutler to Andua Creek; thence down the creek to the aforesaid small creek or gut; thence up small creek or gut to the beginning." The remainder of said tract said Peter bequeathed to said George by will probated in 1801. However in 1817, following the death of said George, the property was surveyed and divided among his heirs; then there were but 1382 acres. The absence of conveyances and bequests by Hacks for other portions of the 2270 acres leaves one in doubt, and speculation is that the original survey included also the small creeks and that much of the marsh and land along the creeks and bay shore had washed away before 1817. The acreage of other tracts in Hacks Neck, when surveyed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, was considerably less than the number of acres mentioned in the grants. As stated, in 1817, the foregoing tract was divided among the children of said George Hack (Plat Book 4, p. 185), who were Dr. Peter Hack, Jr., (to whom in 1805 said George and Margaret, his wife, conveyed about 300 acres that included Manaddox point), Sally (Parcel 1), Charlotte (Parcel 2), Margaret (Parcel 3), Mary (Mollie) (Parcel 4), Mrs. Elizabeth Hack Jacob, widow of Col. Robert A. (Parcel 5), and Dr. George Scherer, in right of his wife, Frances Hack (Parcel 6). To settle her estate, the share of Elizabeth Hack Jacob was in 1837 (Deed Book 29, page 14) sold by her son-in-law, Thomas Hatton Kellam (guardian of his children, Ann E., Elizabeth, Margaret, Susan Jacob, Rebecca Nichols, Thomas Hatton, Jr., Robt. Jacob and John Henry Kellam, whose mother, Elizabeth B., was a daughter of Elizabeth Hack Jacob and Col. Robert A., her husband) and other heirs of said Elizabeth Hack Jacob, to Covington Bennett, Sr., who disposed of it (along with twelve acres to the east thereof which in 1845 he purchased from Margaret Hack) by will, made about 1857, to his sons....
