Could anyone tell me from what counties Dauphin was formed and when? Was Lancaster one of them? What was the likelihood of someone from Lancaster County (around Maytown) marrying someone from Middletown, Dauphin Co.? I have a George Barr (1779-1830) of Maytown marrying (June 26 1803) a Catherine McCann (born - two dates in family bible - 9 Jan 1785 and 9 Jan 1783). In researching Catherine I found a Catherine McCan bapt 30 Jan 1785 in Middletown. I wonder whether this could be the Catherine who married George Barr? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. NT [email protected]
Dauphin county was erected from Lancaster county in 1785
