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!

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.
