By: Ruth T. Dryden, Pub. 1979, reprinted 2024, 96 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-242-2. Somerset County became a county in 1666. It is located in the extreme southern section of the state bordering the Chesapeake Bay. Early English settlers began showing up here from the State of Virginia, partly due to Virginia's religious stance to Quakers fleeing the state. Later other settlers of Anglican faith from Accomack County Virginia followed. Early on, Somerset County had its issues with boundary disputes with Sussex County, Delaware and Accomack County, Virginia. Wills are a wonderful source for genealogists due to the variety of family members being mentioned with in. Sometimes one can discover an unknown marriage of a family member.
