The closest place for HAMPSHIRE COUNTY to be close to Md. is GREEN SPRING, WV/ OLDTOWN, MD. with the Potomac river in between, & nothing else. This is where I live. Hancock is in WASHINGTON COUNTY, MD. across the river a mile or so is BERKELY SPRINGS, WV., located in BERKELY COUNTY. WV. Hope this clears things a bit.

Looking to find more information as to his date of birth and that of his parents and all of his siblings. Will share my file of Charles descendents down to my generation. We know that Charles was born in Hampshire county Virginia, but that he might have been born under the name of Samuel and later changed it. If anyone has any information in regards to Charles/Samuel I would be greatful to hear. We know that Charles had brothers named Henry, Harrison and Isaac. Have more information to share if interested. Thank you J. Tarrant.

Hi Hermon, My gggg-grandparents were Frederick Sapp, Jr. & Mary Margaret "Polly" Parker. Frederick Sapp Jr. was s/o Fred. Sr. and Fred Sr. was s/o Daniel Sapp. Robert Parker was father of Mary M. Polly Parker. There was a Pvt. Robert Parker & Lt. Aaron Parker in Maryland Militia under Capt. Coulson enlisting at Skipton (Oldtown), Md in Sept 1777. Kentucky George Sapp fits in here somewhere, may be a brother to Frederick Sapp. Frederick Sapp, Jr. died in Allegany Co. MD. in 1817. His widow M.M. Polly Parker Sapp then married Thomas J. Porter. They then moved to Knox Co. Ohio in early 1820's. My grandmother Parker/Winner lived with us, and spoke of her family owning land where we used to picnic and swim on the South Branch. Also she spoke of the Brady Farm at Seymour Bottom, somehow connected with the Parker family. That was 40 years ago, so I am trying to gather all the details now. We are probably cousins some how along the way.

I think I'm right to say had the Potomac run a couple miles north at Hancock,then when Mason-Dixon surveyed the Pa-Md line in the 1760;s Maryland would have ended there,40 miles east of Cumberland,Md and points west in Md. And Maryland would not have been able to offer the land west of Cumberland as REV War soldiers land grants. I live in one of the 2 Va Military District' for it's REV WAR VETS,just east of Cincinnati. Pa granted nw Pa,between the Allegany and present Ohio boundry to it's vets.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1379 Surname: Anderson, Henshaw ------------------------- I wonder when Agnes & Thomas's brother Wm was killed by the Indians & where? I will see if I can find anything on Sarah who reportedly mg Mr. Wilkins.

Hermon, You are right about the distance. From 1754 to 1820 when that area of Hampshire Co. became Morgan Co., that area of Hampshire Co., Va, was 1.8 miles ("as the crow flies") from the Pa. border, including the width of the Potomac Riv. The 1.8 miles is today's measurement, but I doubt that the river has changed it all that much since the period of 1754-1820 when it was part of Hampshire Co.

There may be a remote cnnection, My Thomas' father William had relatives in America (I presume Md. or Va.) when he arrived here in 1716. John

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1377 Surname: Anderson, Henshaw ------------------------- I read this note after the last one, dumb me, so now I know your cnnection. Did you know that William was absoluteyl opposed to Agnes' marriage to Capt. Wm. Henshaw. At the time it looked like he had no visable means of support. Wow was William wrong. Agnes was my Thomas ancestor's sister.

I read someplace that Md was about 1 1\2 miles wide near Hancock,Md. If so,and adding yards for the Potomac River, the Pa line Mason-Dixon surveyed in the 1760's is within 2 miles of Hampshire Co,WV. If it's a bit further,it's not much. And the easy roads ran north-south up the mountian valleys,not east-west across the mountians. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

My own Dugal McQueen was one of the Scotch Highlander's defeated at Preston, Eng,in 1715,attwmpting to put the Catholic,James, on the British throne. And he was also sold at Baltimore in 1716 as a P.O.W.. He,too,in 1743,bought lands in what,then,was Prince George Co,Md,[ now,Westminster,Md. And,somebody answered correctly that Hampshire Co WV had never been Pa, but did not mention,that at Hancock,Md, Hampshire Co lies within 2 miles of Hampshire Co. And "they say" that just north of Hancock,Md,in the Big Cove of s Pa, it is said my Thomas McQueen was killed by Indians,Nov 1763. On Mon, 28 Aug 2000 07:38:50 -0700 "John C.
