Type Summary
Text ELK LICK, now part of Somerset; LONDONDERRY, now part of Bedford; BELFAST, now part of Fulton, and WOODBERRY, now lying partly in Bedford and partly in Blair counties, were organized about the year 1785, but (as with many other townships organized in Bedford and Somerset counties) the records are defective and fail to show date of formation or boundaries.
