Mason-Dixon Line
The Mason-Dixon line runs right between the land the Elbin family owned in southern Bedford Co., PA, and in
northern Allegany Co., MD. All John ElbinÕs families
lived around this area early on. The first white settlers came in 1732, then in 1758 the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians moved in. In
1769 a boundary line between Pennsylvania and Maryland was reached through the
English surveyors George Mason and Jeremiah Dixon (see the dotted line at the
bottom of this map, and just over that line is Flintstone, Allegany Co., MD. Note
the towns in Mann Township where the Elbin family
lived: Artemas and Inglesmith.
Southampton on the left is another township,
same relationship as the Mann Township, where Elbinsville
and Chaneysville are situated.
