"We have met Henry Trout previously in our discussion concerning the German settlement near Thurmont, where he probably lived from at least 1738 to 1746. In the latter year he purchased from Daniel Dulany for £67/14/3 a lot of 171-3/4 acres called "Trout Pond" located along the northwestern boundary of "Tasker's Chance." It straddled Tuscarora Creek between today's Opposumtown and Poole Jones Roads and thus lay north of the Smith lot an dwest of the Keller lot described above. Henry Trout was listed by Stephen Ramsburg as being overcharged by the sheriff in the March 1748 quitrent collections. The deed to Trout's land was not recorded, however, for Trout died almost immediately, and it was necessary many years afterwards for his son Jacob Trout to establish ownership anew. This he did in 1794 with a new deed from Daniel Dulany the Younger.

Henry Trout's widow Anna Maria survived him by 47 years, having remarried in 1747. Her second husband, Georg Fridrich Haffner (1716-1794) ... was an elder "for many years" with the Lutheran Church, and in the records of that church appear the baptism record of his children. He and Anna Maria had six children and at least 30 grandchildren. His own death notice may be found in the same register, where it is observed that his wife died on Good Friday in 1793, while he died on Good Friday in the following year."2
