Following the request received by me for information from a neighboring county for a list of Sheriffs of Allegany County, we discovered that there was a lack of listings of Officials of Allegany County, outside of the mention within the records of the county.
Upon request, Linda Smith volunteered and has spent a great deal of time researching the material which we share with you here. Thank you Linda, for the time and much effort put into the project.
