Dear Carolyn,
On page 51 of Milo Custer's "Custer Genealogies", he states that Emanuel
Custer, Sr. bought lots 13 and 62 in Cresapburgh now Cresaptown,
Allegany Co., MD 1803. Further down he states that Emanuel sold lots 13
and 62 in Cresapsburg, MD July 8, 1818. He gives the source of this
record as I-J, Folio 553, Cumberland, MD. Milo states that Emanuel Sr.
died at Jessups, Howard Co., MD in 1854.
Although Milo used both the "s" spelling and the spelling without
the "s", he clearly says that the town was in Allegany Co., MD Perhaps
you could check his source to further distinguish the difference.
All best wishes, Grace
