I will have to eat humble pie.... I should have checked my document: It is, "Official Poll Of Presidential Election In Frederick Co., Md., Nov. 9 to 12, 1796 (not 1797); 1917 voters" (of which I have only about 1,600. From the material sent to me, This record may be part of "Maryland Records, Colonial, Revolutionary, County, And Church, From Original Sources", by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh, M.S., M.D. 513 pp Volume I, Genealogical Publishing Co. Inc. Baltimore, 1973. The above is in response to and my response: > PAT Kelly asked Tuesday, June 06, 2006 3:43 AM > Subject: [MDFR] Voter Registration in Maryland (Frederi8ck Co.) > > Does anyone know when voter registration began in MD/Fdk. Co.? If so, do you know where the voter registration records are stored? Thanks! Patricia > I have a copy of a list of those who voted on a presidential election in 1797 (Frederick Co., MD). Of interest, it is apparent , looking at the names (as they voted during several days) that friends & relatives came to Frederick towne together and voted about the same time. Morris
