I believe your most direct and reliable source for the location of any real estate will be the deed records on that county. ----- Original Message ----- From: Donald Zochert To: VA-ROOTS@LISTLVA.LIB.VA.US Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 1:47 PM Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Frederick County, civil jurisdictions, 1810-1820 Hello, Can someone recommend a source of information (incl. maps) about civil jurisdictions in Frederick County between 1810 and 1820, especially "township" boundaries, militia districts, possibly magisterial districts? I'm not sure "township" is the right word; Ancestry uses it in indexing the 1810 Federal census for Frederick. On a related note, I wonder if someone familiar with the 1810 Federal census in Frederick County could answer this: Does the fact that a household's location is "not stated" rather than given as a specific "township" such as Pughtown or Front Royal provide any clue as to where in the county that household was physically located? Does the classification "not stated" (or simply "Frederick County," as Crickard has it) suggest a specific "unincorporated" location in the county, or does it simply mean the enumerator put no location on that sheet of the return and the household could have been anywhere, say Winchester or Middletown or Berryville?
