The Petetion of the Freeholders and Freemen of Allsaints Parish in Frederick County humbly Sheweth - That Whereas the aforesaid Parish, from its Vast Extent, and great Number of People residing therein, has rendered it Impracticable, for any one Clergyman, to discharge his Function in such a manner, as to Improve and Edify the People, so Amply and fully, as Christianity and the Nature of the thing requires. We are to Inform your Excellency and Honor, that the Thirty -p poll of the said Parish, amounts at present to near Eighty Thousand pounds of Tobacco. And that the said Parish includes the whole County, Except a small part between Senecar and Rock-creek; which being abstracted from the other, the Parish Remains then above a hundred and fifty miles in length, besides its Extent every way, as it is now peopled at present. From this inconvenience, the Word of God, and Christian knowledge, is much Impeded and hindered. Numbers of the Parishioners cannot go to Church at all: and others, (who otherways being well-wishers to the Orthodox reformed Religion of the Church of England) have their Children Baptiz'd, by dissenting Ministers and others again, joyn themselves in "Worship with others Sectaries, as Quakers &c. Your Petetioners therefore pray your Excellency and Honors, to take our state and Circumstances into your most serious Consideration; and grant that an Act may Pass, for the Dividing the said Parish, which may be in force, immediately after the Death of the Revd Saml Hunter, our present Incumbent, that your Petetioners may have the free Exercise of the Word of God preached to us, and the Sacraments duly Administer'd to our Edification and Comfort. We pray for the Dividing line, to begin at the mouth of Manockacy, and to run up with the said Creek, 'til it Intersects the Pensilvanian Line. The lower part of which Division will be a compact Uniform Parish, and wo'd amount by the Number of Taxables at present, to upwards of Twenty Seven Thousand pounds of Tobacco, which we pray maybe a distinct Parish by another name. And your Petetioners as in duty bound will ever pray - Petition 2.

Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly, 1755-1756, volume 52, page 670-1, 1758 - To his Excellency Horatio Sharp, Esquire, Governor of Maryland, and the lower and upper houses of assembly of said province now convened. The Petition of the Free-holders and Freeman of All Saints' Parish, in Frederick County, humbly showeth: That whereas the aforesaid parish, from its vast extent and great numbers of people residing there, has rendered it impracticable for any one clergyman to discharge his function in such a manner as to improve and edify the people so fully and amply as Christianity and the nature of the thing require, we are to inform your Excellency and Honors that the 30 pence poll of the 1st parish amounts at present to near 80,000 pounds of Tobacco and that this parish includes the whole county, except a small part between Seneca & Rock Creek, which being abstracted from the other, the parish remains then above 150 miles in length, besides its extent every way, as it is peopled at present. From this inconvenience the word of God and Christian knowledge are much impeded and hindered. Numbers of the parishioners cannot go to church at all, and others who otherwise being well-wishers to the orthodox reformed religion of the church of England, have their children baptized by dissenting ministers, and others, again, join themselves in worship with other Sectaries as Quakers. Your Petitioners therefore pray your Excellency and Honors to take our state and circumstances unto your most serious consideration and grant that an Act may pass for dividing the said parish, which may be in force immediately after the death of the Rev Samuel Hunter, our present incumbent, that your petitioners may have the exercise of the word of God preached to us, and the sacrament duly administered to our edification and comfort. We pray for the dividing line to begin at the mouth of Monocacy, and to run up with the said creek till it intersects the Pennsylvania line. The lower part of which division will be a compact uniform parish, and would amount, by the number of taxables at present, to upwards of 27,000 pounds of Tobacco, which we pray may be a district parish by another name, and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will every pray, etc...
