Rockville, Montgomery County Maryland Rockville Augt. 27 th 1845. I hereby certify that I find evidence on the Parish Record of a record of marriages having been kept from the year 1774, but there is no record found of marriages found prior to the year 1789 and it is believed from the mutilated condition of the old record that the record of marriages prior to the said year 1789 has been lost
John A. Higgins Register of Prince George Parish
Note - My Brother obtained the above - he says he saw the Parish Record Book and was told that the number of Marriages between 1774 and 1789, was entered, but he was informed that the leaves containing the names had been so destroyed by some substance having been spilled upon them that they had been taken out. This is what the Clerk means above by saying he finds evidence of a Record having been kept, but still there is no record -

The records of Zephaniah Ferrill or Ferrell and Daniel Ragan are furnished you herewith on separate pages, as found in the respective claims for pension based upon service in the Revolutionary War.

Sir,
Dr. Craig has sent me your letter to him of 26. July last, relative to the claim of Lydia Reagan , in which you say that the records in your Office furnish evidence that "Daniel Reagan was an Officer in the Va. Line at the close of the Revolution", but you wish to know how long he served.
Enclosed is a Certificate from the Auditor at Richmond which shews that he served from 1 June 1777 to 24 Jany. 1778 - being 7 mo. 24 days, and if he was an Officer at the close of the War , he is entitled to credit for more than 2 years service.
In regard to the Marriage , I send the enclosed Certificate - if, with what is already on file it will not suffice, I will in 10 or 12 days go to another neighborhood some 30 miles, where it is said some of the family reside.
Very Resp'y.
