D. R. Deming

School: Maryland

Swanton The village of Swanton is located in present day Garrett County, just south and slightly east of Deep Creek Lake. He was in the immediate area where Abel Browning worked. He was the grantee of land which bordered the town which he purchased on April 17, 1912, from Prudence Friend. This appears to be a parcel of land that had belonged to Benjamin H. Deming. He was the grantor of 1 acre to Burdette E. Lawrence on May 12, 1921. Probably due to non-payment, he was the grantee of this same acre on May 8, 1922. He was the grantor of the first purchase to Andrew and Doris Friend in July 20, 1929. For additional information see, Maryland Longrifles Hartzler/Whisker.
