 Maryland. Maryland claimed that portion of Pennsylvania south of the 40 degree parallel except the southwest section claimed by Virginia. This area of dispute was resolved peacefully in Pennsylvania's favor in 1767 by the famous Mason-Dixon survey. See Pennsylvania Archives, second series volume 7, ''Papers Relating to the Boundary Dispute Between Pennsylvania and Maryland, 1734-1760'' (Family History Library film 599235 item 1), and volume 16 for more information and some records. Volume 16 often gives the age (or sometimes year of birth) for the witnesses.
