    1. Re: [MDCHARLE] Port Tobacco Parish boundary

    3. Your description of the Parish's sound reasonable, but I do not have anything to authenticate that. I do have information that says Charles County was divided into nine election districts by an act of the MD General Assembly in 1868. This may help get a sense of who was where. Those districts would be 1. Port Tobacco (center of county) 2. Hill Top (west of Port Tobacco) 3. Nanjemoy (west) 4. Allen's Fresh (southeast) 5. Cob Neck (Harris lot) (south) 6 . Middleton (north) 7. Pomonkey (northwest) 8. Bryantown (northeast 9. Patuxent (Hughesville) (east) Sorry, couldn't be any more help. Someone who has studied that changes in the county might be able to help you.
