Early Harford Countians. Volume 2

Harford County was created from Baltimore County in 1773 and its first court was established in March 1774 in Harford Town (or Bush). In the first two decades following the creation of Harford County, a great quantity of records of importance to local historians and genealogists were generated. This three-volume series presents facts relating to individual Harford Countians from the creation of the county in 1773 through and including the first United States census of 1790. Volumes 1 and 2 have been extracted from the following: Tax lists of 1774, 1776 (missing two hundreds now contained in the supplement), 1778, 1783; censuses of 1776 and 1790; Dr. Archer's ledgers; Orphan's Court Proceedings; Family Bibles; Estate Administrations; registers of St. Johns, St. George's, Quaker monthly meetings of Deer Creek and Little Falls; wills; court minutes; commercial licenses; survey certificates; land records index; marriage licenses; gleanings from various publications such as the Bulletin of the Historical Society of Harford County and other periodicals and histories; list of Non-Associators and Non-Enrollers in 1775; tombstone inscriptions; and other data drawn from the author's research and collections. Virtually any person connected to an historical and/or genealogical event between 1773 and 1790 in Harford County has been included in this book. Over 30,000 entries.
