You might have luck searching at the Frederick County Courthouse (or if a kind soul will look for you), for a record. The books I have only go to 1850. You may also have some luck in census records, if someone is living with them (parent, grandparent, etc.) Good Luck! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
