Excerpt from Old Settlers History of York County and Individual Biographies In looking up early incidents for the Old Settlers' History, to be kept in the County Judge's office of this county, the first question was, why was the County named York? I first wrote to the State Historical Society at Lincoln, but could find no reason from there. I find from A. T. Andreas' history of Nebraska, and from the help of Judge Sedgwick in investigating the Journals of the first and second Territorial Legislatures that met in 1855, that one A. D. Jones, a member of the first Territorial Legislature from Douglas county, (and by the way Omaha was the capital of Nebraska at that date) was chairman of the committee on defining the boundaries and giving names to new counties, Mr. Jones proposed to name the new counties after prominent leaders from each political party; that accounts for the name of Polk, Hamilton, Butler, Fillmore, Clay and many others. Seward county was first named Green, after a senator who afterwards joined the rebels in 1861, and the good people of Green county petitioned the legislature and had the name of their county changed to Seward. The journal of the first territorial legislature of 1855 shows that the north line of York county was the Platte river, the boundary was later changed to include its present boundary. York county was named by the legislature of 1855, long before any white man settled here. I next wrote to A. D. Jones, who seemed to have a good deal to do with laying out and naming new counties in the early day, but the letter was returned, and I learned after that Mr. Jones went to heaven ten years ago. I secured from early records the names of members of the first legislature and wrote to quite a number and some of the letters were returned uncalled for, and others were answered, stating they could remember nothing of the reason for naming York county. A party suggested that if I wrote the editor of the Bee, Mr. Rosewater, he could tell me everything, so I wrote, enclosing a stamp, and got no reply and he is a stamp ahead.

This is a definitive account of the land and the people of Old Monocacy in early Frederick County, Maryland. The outgrowth of a project begun by Grace L. Tracey and completed by John P. Dern, it presents a detailed account of landholdings in that part of western Maryland that eventually became Frederick County. At the same time it provides a history of the inhabitants of the area, from the early traders and explorers to the farsighted investors and speculators, from the original Quaker settlers to the Germans of central Frederick County. In essence, the book has a dual focus. First it attempts to locate and describe the land of the early settlers. This is done by means of a superb series of plat maps, drawn to scale from original surveys and based both on certificates of survey and patents. These show, in precise configurations, the exact locations of the various grants and lots, the names of owners and occupiers, the dates of surveys and patents, and the names of contiguous land owners. Second, it identifies the early settlers and inhabitants of the area, carefully following them through deeds, wills, and inventories, judgment records, and rent rolls. Finally, in meticulously compiled appendices it provides a chronological list of surveys between 1721 and 1743; an alphabetical list of surveys, giving dates, page reference--text and maps--and patent references; a list of taxables for 1733-34; and a list of the early German settlers of Frederick County, showing their religion, their location, dates of arrival, and their earliest records in the county.
