Fred, George Ely Russell's Guide to Research in Washington County MD indicates that there is a 17 page typescript of Births and Baptisms of St. Paul's Lutheran and Reformed Church near Clearsping, 1788-1801. It is not clear where that typescript is. The Records of the Funstown Reformed Church 1852-1900 is also a typescript from 1951 and it is in the Washington County Historical Society Library. Salem German Reformed Church Births and Christenings 1771-1783. are available on microfilm mf 1415-2, 100012748, [LDS family history centers], Cearfoss Pike Records, 1787-1823 from Maryland State Archives mf M 859. There is also a typescript of some of their records in Washington County Historical Society Library. Having said all that, I don't know if any of these have been published in the Maryland Church Records series. Perhaps some of the other listers who have those volumes can help you.

Lauren, I know you aren't local, but if anyone inquiring is local, I would suggest a check of the church records available at the Washington Co. Free Library, either in the Reference Dept. or in the Western Maryland Room. There are several volumes of records there. I've been able to locate many ancestors using them. Granted, these are transcriptions from the original German, but it has been a big help in my research.
