Many of these followed the
old Indian trail which had be.

ern portions of Lord Baltimore's
Province, his agents had ample
time to "sell' them on remain
ing in Maryland instead of con-
tinuing their trek to Virginia.
Large numbers of the Germans
capitulated.
The first large German settle
ment in Montgomery is believed
to have been at the mouth of
the Monocacy River which now
sets the lower Frederick County
line.
There were many early prob
lens in administering laws and
land titles because of the differ
ences in languages. Then, about
two-thirds of the new settlers
were Lutherans and the other
third Reformers. They were
vociferously opposed to a royal
tax levied since 1892 for sup
port of the Anglican Church.
More than likely as an induce.
ment to keep the Germans here,
Lord Baltimore's agents even
agreed not to collect the church
tax for a few years.
Thus, by 1870, the section of
Maryland now known as Mont
gomery County was well dotted
by homesteads and plantations
of, chiefly, tobacco growers. In
fact, development was so rapid
that in 1879 the General Assem-
bly, committed itself to provide
a road from Monocacy to An
napolis. Annapolis had van
pushed st. Mary's City in
Southern Maryland as the cap

The political voice of Western
Maryland first was heard in the
General Assembly in 1879 when
that body received a petition
from "the back parts of Prince
Georges County" asking that
the back parts" be divided
from Prince Georges and said
that a court house and county
officers was the areas just due.
The back parts" also petitioned
to pay taxes in money, not to-
bacco.

site of Cumberland and the
important mountain gap that
carried the big western road.
The French were in a tailspin
over their alleged rights in the

of Virginia sent young George

transportation was too scarce
to move his troops westward.
Crossing the Potomac into

new Mill Creek Towne, where a
tri-colony conference was held
between Maryland, Virginia and
Pennsylvania.
All the Kings men and all OF
Lord Baltimore's government,
however, could not pry the
equipment out of Frederick
Towne or western Maryland.
The agent for the Pennsylvania
colony, Benjamin Franklin,
seeing the handwriting on the
wall, stayed only one day and
left for home to recruit supply
wagons and teams out of his
own province.
George Washington reported
to Braddock in Frederick Towne

their lands near the mouth Of
the Potomac, some of these
came to the area of Great Falls,
but later moved on into Penn

tribe was lost in a westward
move with the Mohicans and
Delawares.

and to call for repeal of some
of the rebellion-causing laws of
the British Crown. Montgomery
County later furnished a large
proportion of troops that made
up the Maryland Line.
Well before 100, the Lords of
Baltimore with absolute sover-
eign rights in the Maryland
Province, began making at
tempts to settle the western por-
ton of the Province. Most de-
sirable lands in southern Mary
land; in the area of Chesapeake
Bay and the lower Potomac
were taken up by this time and
the lords and their various gov

When prospective colonists
could not buy land, a rental sys-
tenn was set up with rentals to
be paid in tobacco. In the eager
ness to settle the area morator-
iums on rent payments were
granted for a year in some
cases.
AS early as 1858, a little more
than so years after Lord Balti-
more sent his half-brother
Leonard Calvert to plant his
first settlement in Maryland,
colonists began moving into

numbers were swelled by the
immigration of new colonists

Early settlement in the upper
area of the County increased so
rapidly that a church building
soon was erected on the site of
