Regarding the information on the 1820 Harford County census. This
information is not correct. When I looked the info up on Ancestory.com it
shows 1820 James Hyland, 1 Elec Dist Harford County, MD. but I took a
better look at the census and it is actually a Kent County census and not
Harford County. Ancestory made a mistake and I am glad that I checked the
info on the actual census record.
