Did you get an answer about Gold Branch? From History of Montgomery County,
Maryland by Boyd:
Gold's Branch, granted to Richard Snowden, July 30, 1722, for two hundred and
fifty-seven acres. These two grants lie on Hawlings River, and constitute a
portion of the farm of Hon. Allen Bowie Davis, his residence being located on
the latter, through which the Westminister Road passes. and also Gold Branch, a
small tributary of Hawlings" River.
Hawling's River is now a stream, listed in Howard County, a tributary of the
Patuxent River, that flows SE. It must have been a riven then, not now.
