1t is estimated that only about
20% Of the children can be ex-
amined this year. A more care
full check will be made by nurses,
teachers and trained lay workers,
to select only children definitely

cooper's tools and decent suit of

We were quite interested to find
that the sons of some of the first
families of the county figured in
these proceedings from the wrong
side of the law even as is done to-
day. Ninian Bell (son of Ninian)
evidently gave the old folks some
bad moments. First we find the
court giving him "warrent as
overseer of the main road
later Philip Houser was appointed
overseer vice .Ninian Beall and
Ninian Beall fined two pounds 10
shillings for neglect of duty as
overseer. Then John Howes was
recognized to the court in forty
pounds to be of good behavior
towards Ninian Beall (son of
Ninian)." Ninian surely must have
"riled' folks for in the next court
Hugh Clifford was fined for as
saulting him!
The duties of the judges were
quite different from those of to-
day-for instance they settled and
adjusted rates of liquors and ac-
commodations at the taverns, APP
pointed road supervisors and to-
bacco inspectors along with deal
! ing out justice. At the November
court 1778, Samuel Turner, Brooke
Beall and William Deakins were
appointed to view the road leading
! from Seneca into "the new road
from the mouth of Watts Branch
to Georgetown for the purpose of
building a bridge over said Watts
Branch" At this time 20 pounds
was levied with which to buy
stone to build the Jail and Ninian
pops up again-Thomas Malone
was bound over to keep the peace
especially against Ninian Beall.
Of course the town was not
known as Rockville in those days
the hamlet had been simply
Hungerford's Tavern at the time
of the first public meeting held in
what was then Frederick County,
!
to take action in favor of Ameri-
can freedom. After the completion
of the courthouse in 1779 the town
was known as Montgomery Court
House.
In 1884 William Prather Will
liams purchased the land around
the courthouse, had Col. Archi-
bald Orme lay it off in streets and
lots, and it became Williamsburg.
The authorities, after the turn Of
the 18th century decided to re-
survey it and in 1904 sought new
name for the then growing town.
We are told that it was first
thought to call it Wattsville after
Watts Branch which starts near
by, but it was deemed too insight
ficant a stream, so the county seat
was finally called Rockville after
the more pretentious Rock Creek.
