Notes:

Associates at Frederick County, Maryland include Mockoboys, (along with John Garrott and Thomas Odell and Charles Thomas Philpott). By the way, I once told you that John Garrott Sr. was a member of the Associators. I can't prove it but I think it was actually John Garrott Jr. The name on the list did not have Sr. or Jr. which, as you know, usually indicates that there was only one living. JG Sr. probably died the end of 1775. I think the list was made in 1776 and covered a time period that included both 1775 and 1776
