The line "went west with the Maryland League" caught my attention.

My Charles Co. ancestors (including, probably, a McAtee who had married a
Wedding) migrated to Clermont Co., Ohio (north of Ohio R near Cincinatti).
I've read that Congress had offered war veterans land grants there and
assumed that is why the Wedding family went there.

I had no idea there might have been organized migration. Does anyone know
of anything like "the Maryland League" that organized westward migration
along the north side of Ohio River?

Thanks,

Ken Wedding
