"Horace was listed as the owner of 50 acres of improved land and 200 acres of unimproved land, valued at $1,350. He owned one horse, one milk cow, one other cattle and two swine; not a great deal for a farmer of that time period. In the previous 12 months he raised 135 bushels of Indian Corn, 130 bushels of oats, 100 pounds of butter, a ton of hay and two bushels of clover seed."

There was one circuit at that time and it was Montgomery Circuit which included the entire county. Unfortunately, those records were destroyed in our 1904 Baltimore Fire.
