Maryland

There is an Oxman Road in Landover, Maryland. Does anyone know who it is named after?

There was also an area called "Oxmonton" in Piscataway, MD on October 3, 1694. "Oxmantown" or Oxmonton was named after a place near Dublin, Ireland and a Viking settlement (Ost=East; man; town). The Vikings sailed to Ireland from the north east and were referred to as 'eastman'. Over the years Ostman was corrupted to Oxman.
