> Basil Smallwood, 1 male 16 or older, 1 male under 16, 2 females, 1 slave
From the book, Maryland Genealogies Vol. ll, I found this: Although the writer was not able to place Basil Smallwood in the family of Col. James Smallwood, he did believe he was a part of that family. He wrote, "Basil Smallwood married Mary Gareff (1) Piscataway Parish, May 13, 1787. He is in the 1790 census of Charles County, MD. He had a daughter, Mary Ann who was born January 16, 1792."

>As Linda said, Piscataway Parish is in Prince George's County, but early on it was in Charles County. The formation of Prince George's County from Charles & Calvert - 1695 - post-dates by a few years the 1692 Establishment of the Church of England in Maryland. Piscataway was one of the original 1692 parishes.
>
>The county line between Charles & Prince George's has also been moved, I believe; I think the Marshall Hall area was at one time in Prince George's & then was returned to Charles; but I might be wrong on this.
>
>Piscataway Parish was re-named St. John's Parish and re-named again King George Parish, which is - I believe- its name today. The parish church - St. John's, Broad Creek, was built in 1722/1723, rebuilt & enlarged 1765-1768, remodeled in 1820, the 1840s and 1910-1913. The present church is on the National Register of Historic Places.
>
>Anglican activity in the Broad Creek area of present Prince George's County, dates to ca. 1660. A frame church was built in 1696. St. John's, Broad Creek, is across from Mount Vernon & "tradition" has George Washington crossing the Potomac to attend services there.
>
>Christ Church, Accokeek, was established as a Chapel of Ease for Piscataway Parish in 1698. A frame chapel was built; it was replaced in 1745 by a brick chapel, the wall of which still remain. In 1823, King George Parish was divided and the southerly area was set off as St. John's Parish, restoring the 2nd of the 3 names of the larger original parish. The older chapel, now the parish church, burned in 1856. The walls of the 1745 chapel were used in the reconstruction of the present church in 1857.

>Mike & the List:
>
>I looked thru' my file folder on "Episcopal Church - Maryland" and found a xerox of a map with the original 1692 parishes marked out on the map.
>
>Piscataway Parish took in a section of present-day Charles County. The parish line was Mattawoman Creek to the Potomac River. The area around Indian Head, Pomonkey, Marshall Hall - everything in Charles County north of Mattawoman Creek - was in Piscataway Parish. [Piscataway later became King George Parish]
>
>So, Mike - it's possible your relatives in Piscataway Parish MIGHT have lived in this section which is now in Charles County. Since current St. John's Parish wasn't cut off until the 1820s, a person in Piscataway Parish in 1787 could have been living in Charles County.
>
>St. John's Chapel, Pomonkey, is in St. John's Parish - this was the southerly part of Piscataway Parish cut off in 1823. The chapel is in Charles County; the parish church - Christ Church, Accokeek - is in Prince George's. So that parish, once a part of the 1692 Piscataway Parish, is over-lapping the county line.
>
>I couldn't figure it out from the booklet I'm using - "A Guide to Historic Episcopal Churches of Southern Maryland" - but it appears that St. James, Indian Head, MIGHT BE a separate parish. No dates were given for the creation of parish - if indeed it is a parish - but the church congregation dates to the World War I era & is connected to U. S. Navy activity at Indian Head. According to the map I have, Indian Head is clearly in the original 1692 Piscataway Parish.
>
>Again, Mike, this will just CONFUSE the issue ... Charles ? or Prince George's ? .... Well, that depends !!!!!
