There are Colonial census records for residents of Maryland in 1776 listing heads of households. It is available on Ancestry.com (which I don't have access to).

Granted by the King of England to George Calvert in 1632, Maryland was home to nearly 300,000 people before the Revolutionary War. This database is a transcription of a colonial census taken in 1776. Each record provides the name of the head of the household and location of residence. In many cases, the individual's age is provided along with the number of male and female residents in the household, including slaves. It reveals the names of over 17,100 men and women. For researchers of early Maryland ancestors, this can be an informative database.

If anyone has access, I would appreciate a lookup for WISSINGER, WEISSINGER, WIESSINGER, etc......

Subject: [MDWASHIN] 1776 Census - Hainley


I am unaware of a 1776 census of Frederick Co. If there is a census and someone has access or direct me to it, I am most interested to know if there is a Hainley listing. There is on the 1790 Census. Thanks for help. Edna
