I did not find a John UM in 1790 Maryland Census.

A Christian Hempstead appears in the 1790 Maryland census. It's clearly Hempstead on the image, so there's no reason to believe him to have been an UM.

COMMENTS:

These images can be found online at www.Ancestry.com. Search spellings as shown above. I have copies on file. There were TWO Abraham UMs in Maryland in 1790!!!

Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin, Volume 15 Number 4, November, 1974 , page 226, states: UMSTEAD (HUMSREAD), Abraham, Mont. Co, Md. census 1790 - 1800 - 1810; Enoch and Nicholas in Fred. Co., Md. 1790 Census [R-29]
