My thanx to all who have responded, both on list and privately. The link below comes closest to answering the original question. However, like most responses it gives a history BUT not either a time frame (beginning/ending) and associated proper "political" name.
Perhaps such a source does not exist :-) Even going to state websites you can get histories and some time lines, but so far they have also provided conflicting information! The quest continues. Maybe Geoff, Judy Russell or Thomas MacEntee will take the cue and develop a webinar - with appropriate handouts - to answer the question! John Genealogy - - - - - it's in my blood!
