Hello One thing to remember about Maryland as well as Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia(later West Virginia) was that they raised both northern and southern units. In a recent magazine article Maryland, My Maryland by Edward Steers Jr(1), he states the many faces of Maryland Seccession and the War between the States. He states that official records show that 63000 Marylanders answered the Call to serve and defend the Union but 22000 Marylander Answered the Call of Richmond. With Maryland being the border of 3 sides of Washington DC, there were many spies, and others that tried to undermine the Union War effort. Maryland produced more than half of the Nations tabacco and outproducted both Kentucky and Missouri combined. By 1790 the Slave population reached 10000 just about the white population. By 1860 the slaves outnumbered the Whites by 2/3rds. John wilkes Boothe hid in Charles Co Md. which was one of Marylands largest Pro South Counties. I would say you have 1 out of 3 chance that your man was a Southerner anyway. Dan Geyer Esq. 1North and South Vol. 6 No. 2 Febuary 2003.
