Hello Mur, I know this much about the Middletons of Charles Co and PG Co. There was a Middleton farm in Piscattaway, PG Co., it was owned by my 3rd Great Grandfather Alexander Middleton. Alexander was married to Elizabeth Attaway Jameson and in his later life, he left his wife and Charles Co., farm and moved to a farm in PG Co, where he died. The info I have states his farm in 1870 was off of Middleton Road near Piscattaway. I live in Calif. so I'm not familiar with the area. I think maybe Mary Simmons can help as she is a Middleton descendant also and still has family in MD, hopefully she will respond if she is still on the list. I hope I've helped you in some way.
