Don't know how useful this will be, but I've seen the name Aquila in Baltimore County, MD. It appears in my SCOTT line around 1722. A posting on the rootsweb list for Harford County, MD mentions a local Declaration of Independence signed at Bush, Harford County, MD in March of 1775. It includes the signatures of three Aquilas, Aquila HALL, Aquila PACA, and Aquila HALL, Jr. Shari
