      Yes. I did check last night and here's what I dug up.....Philly, Pa. Was the 1st capital- under the First Continental Congress from Sept. 5, 1774 to Oct. 24, 1774.
      Baltimore, Md. Was the1st capital under the Second Continental Congress from Dec. 20, 1776 to Feb. 27, 1777.
      Philly, Pa. Was the 1st capital under the Articles of Confederation from March 1, 1781 to June 21, 1783
      NYC was the 1stcapital under the Constitution from March 4, 1789 to Aug. 12, 1790
