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?

Thanks,

Don Zochert
