An undated petition requesting the creation of a new county to be known as Paca County in honor of the governor of
that name who was in office from 1783 to 1785. The petitioners, who claimed no other motive than making attendance at
the county courts more easy, suggested that the new county be formed from the upper part of Baltimore county and the
