The Political History of Maryland is: Original Counties = 1617 - St. Mary's, formed much as it is today 1642 (by) Kent 1650 - Anne Arundel 1654 - Calvert 1658 - Charles created included what is today P.G., Montgomery, Frederick, Washington and west 1659/60 - Baltimore County which included Baltimore City 1661/62 - Talbot 1666 - Somerset Additional counties formed from or taken from above original = 1669 - Dorcester from Somerset and Talbot 1674 - Cecil from Baltimore and Kent 1696 - Prince George's from Calvert and Charles 1706 - Queen Anne's from Dorcester, Kent and Talbot 1747 - Worcester from Somerset 1748 - Frederick from Baltimore and Prince Georges 1773 - Caroline from Dorcester and Queen Anne's 1776 - Montgomery from Frederick 1776 - Washington from Frederick 1789 - Alleghany from Washington 1837 - Carroll from Baltimore and Frederick 1851 - Baltimore City from Baltimore County 1851 - Howard from Anne Arundel 1867 - Wicomico from Somerset and Worcester 1872 - Garrett from Alleghany In other words, "No Washington County was not part of Baltimore County in 1776, it was part of Frederick County". When researching, especially western Maryland, one must watch dates, since at one time what is now western Maryland was part of Charles County. Also, one must remember, that during the colonization days and shortly afterwards, official acts, such as births and marriages, were not always filed with the Court House of that county. It was often the practice of filing such acts with any Court House when someone was going to that Court House. Then, too, often births and marriages were not recorded with any Court House; they may have been recorded in a church record somewhere, or never officially recorded. This may all be more than you really wanted to know, and I'm sorry if it is and disturbed you.

Thank you very much. Just lately I was thinking that I should check Fredrick County records since my ancestor owned land that was definitely part of Frederick County in 1774. Now I will folow through on that hunch!
