By Laura Penny Hulslander. The naturalization records of Washington Co. begin in 1794 with oaths of allegiance signed by early settlers in the years just after the Revolution. In the early 1800s, standard printed forms were used with a friend or neighbor acting as witness. The oaths were signed by the witness, the individual taking the oath, the court official and all are dated. Places of residence are often included. More detailed declarations of intent contain such information as full name, town/parish of birth, some birth dates, wife's name, children's names and ages, date and port of emigration, date and port of arrival in the US. Especially well-represented are the emigrants from Ireland, Scotland and England who came to Washington Co. in the early 1800s. 8.5x11 67 pages index Spiral bound
