      106. Conrad Maugans, born 1735; died February 2, 1822 in Wolfsville, Frederick County, Maryland. He was the son of 212. Matthias Maugans. He married 107. Rebecca Abt. 1760 in Frederick County, Maryland.

      107. Rebecca, born Abt. 1739 in Maryland; died Aft. 1810 in Maryland.

Notes for Conrad Maugans:
Conrad Maugans was born in Pennsylvania or Frederick County, Maryland 1735. Conrad died at Wolfsville, Frederick County, Maryland, February 2 1822. The Maugans homestead was called "Conrad Travels at Night." Their log cabin stood over the spring. Conrad was fined in 1776 for non-enrollment in the Revolutionary War because of his church principals in The Church of the Brethren. Conrad and wife (possibly Rebecca) were on a deed of land in 1760. The Maugans were connected with the Royal family of Holland.

Conrad Maugans lived and is buried with other members of his family on his homestead one-half mile south of Wolfsville, Maryland. He also owned part of "I'll Take it All" and "Tom's Farewell".

Conrad called "Nick" traveled by night because he and another man were both seeking a grant for the same parcel of land. Conrad walked (which was the mode of traveling at that time) all night on his way to Annapolis Maryland to get the grant, and the other evidently slept at night. Anyway, the result was that Conrad Maugans was standing on the steps of the Capitol Building at Annapolis in the morning with the grant in his pocket when the other man arrived - hence, the nickname.

"Old Dry House" was where the Reckers and Maugans dried their food for winter use. It was surrounded by drying hurdsracks made of narrow strips of wood. Apples, peaches pears and similar fruit were sliced into "schmitz" and dried. Likewise cherries, grapes berries, peas, green beans, sweet corn, etc. were preserved by drying on the heated hurds. On the other side of the cabin, perhaps two hundred feet away, there was another building known as the "Weaver" Shop. Here the Rechers once wove their home-spun woolen cloth.

Frederick County was formed in 1748 from Prince George County and Washington County in 1776 out of Frederick County.

The German immigrants who care to Frederick, Maryland traveled westward across Pennsylvania, crossed the Susquehanna River at Wright's (Wrightvillle near York, Pennsylvania) then followed the old Conestoga trails and rivers down to Frederick County.

From Black Rock Mountain one can survey all of Washington County as far as Pennsylvania to the North, and the Potomac River that separates Maryland from Virginia and West Virginia to the south. The Appalachian Trail passes the Rock.

There were several different spellings of the Maugan name: Mangin, Maugin, Maggin and some changed it to Morgan during the Revolutionary War.
