Hello All, Again, thank you to all who answered my request for names and maps of the townships (and election districts) along the PA & MD border. I tried to answer each personally but if I missed you I apologize. Some requested that I post the answers to the list, so here is what I have so far (please notify me of errors or omissions). I still need the districts for Garrett and Allegany counties of MD. All are from west to east unless otherwise noted: Fayette PA Henry Clay Somerset PA Addison, Elk Lick, Greenville, Southampton Bedford Londonderry, Cumberland Valley, Southampton, Mann Fulton PA Union, Bethel, Thompson Franklin PA (not sure of order) Warren, Fulton, Montgomery, Antrim, Washington Adams PA (not sure of order) Liberty, Freedom, Cumberland, Mount Joy, Germany, Union York PA West Manheim, Manheim, Codorus, Shrewsbury, New Freedom, Hopewell, Faun, Fawngrove, Peach Bottom, Delta Lancaster PA Fulton, Little Britain (doesn't quite meet border) Chester PA West Nottingham, East Nottingham, Elk, Franklin, London Britain (district numbers in parenthesis) Garrett MD Allegany MD Washington MD (not sure of order) Lettersburg (9), Fountainhead (27), Maugansville (13), Wilsons (23), Clear Spring (4), Indian Spring (15), Hancock (5) Frederick MD (not sure of order) Emmitsburg (5), Hauvers (10), Thurmon (15) Carroll MD (not sure of order) Taneytown (1), Meyers (3), Manchester (6) Baltimore MD (not sure of order and do not have names) District 6, District 7 Harford MD (not sure of order) Marshall (4), Dublin (5) Cecil MD Oakwood (8), Rising Sun (6), Calvert (9), Fairhill (4) One of the only clues I have to locate the family of my great-great grandfather, William Lynch, born 1829, is that he was born on or near the state line between PA and MD. Since there were a substantial number of Lynch families in these counties during this period, this helps to narrow the search significantly. I hope that it may also help someone else in a similar way. Sincerely, Gordon Lynch Researching the LYNCH and LINGENFELTER families of MD, PA, and NY Gordon Dean Lynch glynch@midwestinfo.com
