Methodist Circuit Riders Registers, 1809-1815

METHODIST CIRCUIT RIDERS REGISTERS, 1809-1815 Harford and Baltimore Counties, Maryland and York County, Pennsylvania Jean S. Morris The following list contains births, marriages and some deaths and baptisms recorded by circuit ministers Joshua Wells, Job Guest, Tobias Reilly, James Ewing and James Reid; and covers the Methodist churches of Harford, Baltimore Counties in Maryland and in York County, Pennsylvania. The date on the original Register is 1809, and it is presumed that the actual entries began in 1809 but that the dates listed are actually dates of birth and not of baptism. The earliest birth date is 1776. Entries have been copied exactly as recorded. Writing varies from page to page indicating that empty spaces were utilized to enter names with little regard as to actual date of occurence. The Original Register is held in the manuscript section of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore and is numbered MSS #427 and titled A Circuit Register for Harford County, covering Methodist churches.
