It was Allegany County, Maryland. This would be about 10-20 south of the Pennsylvania/Maryland border. The Kaub side specifically from the Rhein-Hunsruck-Kreis, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany

Thanks! My distant relatives settled just east of there. A few miles north of the MD/PA border in southern Franklin county.

An interesting story that I came across while doing our geneology stuff  for the Kaub bunch from Germany. They settled in a little area there in Allegany County, Maryland about 20 miles west of Cumberland in a small town called "Accident". The story that I came across while doing the research went that there were 3 guys who were doing the assaying of the land there in Allegany County dividing up the various parcels into smaller chunks for towns. They were all working in different directions and different parcels and all 3 were working towards coming to one place unbeknownst to each other. So they all had included that parcel in their assaying by accident. So that last parcel they named it "Accident". So some of my kin lived in the the little town of Accident, Allegany County, Maryland, which is now in Garret County.
