Lauren, those are some of the Burrells I am looking for. I attribute the name difference either from poor handwriting or inability to spell. Do find anything earlier than 1776? I think most of the family had left for Ohio after that time. How about in connection with the surname CHAPLINE? Possibly a plantation also by the name of Content or Contentment? Thanks.

Carrol, I do not do comprehensive family research for others - I simply do lookups in the resources I have as time allows. Since I live in Colorado, I can't check out anything local. Anything earlier than 1776 is Frederick County and I do not have Frederick County resources. Perhaps others on the list who have those resources will do a lookup for you or you might contact that list. I look at spelling variations as a commonplace happening of earlier times. I just deal with it by keeping lists of alternate spellings so I don't miss something when I am researching and I appreciate it when someone else finds another variation that I didn't know about. (I hate having to backtrack to look again for a different spelling.) There are some online resources with regard to land records - check both the Maryland State GenWeb sight and the Washington County. Some land records are available by microfilm - through the nearest LDS Family History Center or perhaps by interlibrary loan through your library and Maryland State Archives. Here is a bit from the 1783 tax list on the state site: > Benjamin Burrell. What You Please, 85 acres. WA Lower Antietam and > Sharpsburg p. 32. MSA S1161-11-1. 1/4/5/54 > > Jane Burrell. WA Lower Antietam and Sharpsburg p. 32. MSA S1161-11-1. > 1/4/5/54 > > Peter Burrell. What You Please, 100 acres. WA Lower Antietam and > Sharpsburg p. 32. MSA S1161-11-1. 1/4/5/54 > MSA refers to Maryland State Archives. There are a couple earlier tax lists from the 1600's there too. I'd also check the 1790 census to see who is where.

Thank you, Lauren. These are some of the Burrells that stayed behind. When I menioned my opinion on name spelling differences, I was refering to the very early times. This family started out in Prince George (?), then Fredrick, then Washington. Has been a very confusing family to trace. A distant cousin has found information, but I was trying to do some of my own verifying. It isn't fair to ride the shirt tails of others if we don't need to.
