I have been searching for the birth place of Francis HAGAN for 25 years and cannot find it. Francis first appears in Frederick County records in 1787 when he witnessed a marriage in the Reformed Church. He married in that church the next year and is buried in the St. Johns the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church cemetery. My research shows he did not come from Charles County, MD or St. Mary's County, MD. If not there, then where? Tks, Fred Hagan
