Happy New Year List, I know that there was a Tobias Rudolph in Cecil Co., ca 1728 and also one in 1782 and in 1814. I'm sure they are related some how. Has anyone every researched this family? Does anyone know of any research that has been done on this family? I cannot find any info on them at all. I'd appreciate any help, Shirley Middleton Moller http://www.msa.md.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000204/html/am204--361.html Laws of Maryland 1785-1791 NOVEMBER SESSION, 1788 RESOLVED, That three persons be appointed in each county in this state, to view and inspect the books, records and papers, in the several public offices in their respective counties; that they have free access to the same, and that they, or a majority of them, report the state and condition thereof to the next general assembly.
