It is located in the extreme southern section of the state bordering the Chesapeake Bay. Early English settlers began showing up here from the State of Virginia, partly due to Virginia's religious stance to Quakers fleeing the state. Later other settlers of Anglican faith from Accomack County Virginia followed. Early on, Somerset County had its issues with boundary disputes with Sussex County, Delaware and Accomack County, Virginia. The contents of this book are about white residents only.
