I would like to take a day trip next week to Cecil County to check wills and orphan court records for 1806 and later. I am having a hard time figuring out where these records are held. I have been to the Historical Society in Elkton But never to the courthouse or where ever they may hold these records. I also want to make sure with the holidays that they will be open either Thur or Fri after New years. I am searching for the parents of David Reynolds born April 28, 1806. died Sept 23, 1889 (married Aberella Metcalf in 1830 in Lancaster Co Pa) They both died in Harford county Md But an Obituary in the Cecil Co whig said he died in Harford County But was a Native of Cecil County Md Most likely a descendant of Henry But I have yet to make a connection to the family. Any help on figuring out where to go to find these records would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and Happy Holidays Marie Malark

Caleb Reynolds b 1804, d 1862 left a will naming wife Mary, sisters Edith and Sarah E, brothers John C, Josiah, Samuel, David. His will will be found in Annapolis, not Elkton which has only those after 1850.
