Do you read it as being witnessed by a minister? That is what it appears to be to me. If so than it could indeed be Ann Parish. A google search shows a current St. Anne's Parish in Annapolis and also one in Queen Anne's county. If I were to guess - I would pick "Ann Parish" in "Anne" [Arundel] County- with someone writing quickly and using shortened versions of the place names. Seems like even when you find something that fits, there brings yet another puzzle <g> Catherine
