COMMENTS:
The archivist at Maryland State Archives says that no county is cited on the original and that MdHR is only their own internal designation, a finding aid meaning Maryland Hall of Records, which has nothing to do with the county involved.
Considering that (an) Abraham sold wheat to Montgomery County, MD a year earlier, it is possible that this sale also took place in Montgomery County and involved the same Abraham. Note the difference in the UM spelling tho - Umstattd in this one, Umstad in 1780. That may or may not matter.
