Maryland records show a gradual, but uneven, change in currency from "pounds" to "dollars." Montgomery County tax assessments in 1793, 1798, and 1804 were listed in pounds; in 1813, the currency changed to dollars. In the land records is a deed in 1801 giving the price in dollars; as late as 1816, there is a deed listing it in pounds.http://guide.msa.maryland.gov/pages/viewer.aspx?page=money
