I hear you - I have a Schmidt/Smith line I'm holding in reserve too. I
have the marriage license index for Frederick Co from 1778-1810 and
there are no Denny entries there during that period. Washington Co. was
carved out of Frederick County in 1776. There is a 1776 census of
Frederick Co. I do not have anywhere close to all the source materials
for Washington County - I am sort of in a certain time frame for when my
husband's ancestors were there in the resources I own. You might check
Scharf's History of Western MD and Williams' History of Washington
County - those are both good places to look.
It doesn't hurt to check MD/WV/PA counties around Washington County.
They still call it the tri-state area.

>Thanks, Lauren for the information on the MILLERS and DENNYS. I know next to nothing about Sarah Miller. All the information on James Denny puts him in PA Greene county and Fayette, except that his oldest son was supposed to be born in Hagerstown, MD in 1782. My guess was that Sarah was living with her parents as James was fighting on the frontier during the Revolutionary War and I haven't been able to find them in PA at that time. I had hoped maybe she was mentioned in a will when the parents died or maybe in church records. I also was looking at Frederick Co., MD. Isn't it very close to Washington County? And I know MILLER is a hard name to try and trace. That is why I have put it off so long!!! Thanks for your help! Carolyn
