They were listed as being "of Somerset county" in that year.  (The Early Settlers of Maryland, by Gust Skordas, pub. 1979, p.259  [Maryland patents Lib. 16 fol. 592] )" Below from Kate McCarter who also references Old Somerset on the Eastern Shore of Maryland: A Study in Foundations and Founders"Author: Torrence, Clayton "Cornelius Johnson (late servant of Thomas Savage) presented in Northampton County, Virginia, February, 1662/3, for adultery with Alice Baily (whom he has since married), and March, 1662/3, fined 500 pounds tobacco for incontenency before marriage (Northampton Court,Order Book, 1661-4, pp. 161 and 167). Cornelius Johnson appears in Somerset in 1666 and in June, 1672, January, 1676, and December, 1684, purchased "Sweetwood" and "Mannings Resolution" tracts (adjoining), onn. side Great Monie Creek, the former from Charles Ballard and Sarah,his wife (widow of John Elzey, decd.); the latter from John Manningand Sara, his wife.
