Annie; We are all in a constant search for our roots. Our Nationalities are
often many and intertwined. The purpose of any list is to try to obtain
information on our ancestors, so if your ancestor (regardless of national
origin) came from the Fredererick Co., or surrounding area, you certainly
should feel free to post your query so let's have a name and some dates.
Who knows, someone may have the information you are seeking. Walt Peterman
Annie,
Now you have me curious. I'll have to look for the Welsh letter. I'm just
kidding. The genealogy game is a great homogenizer and the players are the
most cooperative and helpful bunch of people you are likely to associate
with.

Hi:
Is this group only for German ancestors who came to Frederick County, MD?
Mine were Welsh from the Welsh area of Frederick County. If I'm not on the
right list, I'll have to get off. Is there another list for the Welsh in
Frederick County as that is all I'm interested in.
Annie
Hi:
I sent an email earlier today re the Welsh in Frederick County. I just want
to say that I have nothing against Germans or anyone of German descent. In
fact, I probably do have German ancestry somewhere. I'm just simply looking
for a family with a Welsh surname in an area of Frederick Co. Md.

June: I have searched for my husband's ancestor seen on a daughter's death certificate as Evers Cross. He was married to Catherine__? who was born on the Ocean about 1791 and died after 1870. They were married between 1815-1825 probably. I have not found this man under the name Evers. I wonder if his name could have been Evan? Their daughter used several names such as Emmaline, Emma, Amy and finally Anna on the death cert. She and her mother lived in Washington County during the years I studied them.
I found a land record of a Garrard Davis of Frederick Co., MD listed about
1745. I believe that he is either the father or grandfather of my ancestor,
Benjamin Davis who was born in Md May 1776. A Garrard Davis, the father of
my Benjamin, died in Mason County, KY about 1802 and left a will. He had a
son named Garrard who married Elizabeth McDermid or McDermott in Frederick
County in 1795.
Anyone doing research on this line?
Thanks, Annie

Hi Lorin.
Glad I could help. I know there is a copy of the book (1988 edition) in
the Daughters of the American Revolution Library, but books are for use in
the library only. They will, however, make copies. Their web address is:
www.dar.org and go to the library section for instructions. I'm sure that
there are libraries in Frederick Co. that do inter library loan. Perhaps
someone familiar with Frederick Co. libraries can provide that information.
As for the Moravian Archives, you can go there; howe
Anyone recognize this group of people?
John Braden, Sr., having grown up to
manhood, became the owner of a farm near Youngstown, Ohio,
and resided on the same until the breaking out of the war
of 1812 with Great Britain, when he joined the army and
served therein until the close of the war. After the war
John Braden, Sr., was married to Katherine McIntyre,
daughter of William McIntyre, who was a native of
Scotland, and in early times had migrated to this country,
In addition to my one German line, STOTTLEMYER, also have several English

Hi,
I'm new to the list as well as Frederick County-area research. I've nearly
connected my 4-great-grandfather, Ludwick SNYDER, with the parents that a
great deal of circumstantial evidence clearly shows are his. Now, I need to
do a great deal of follow up research.
Ludwick, it seems, was born in Sept. 1768, on Catoctin Mtn., Frederick Co.,
son of Jacob and Maria Magdalena (BISSINGER) SCHNEIDER. Jacob was an
immigrant supposedly from Wurtenburg, Germany, and evidently a Moravian.
Jacob died at
Can anyone help me out with the children of Frederick Crabbs b. abt. 1774 died 01 June 1851 age 77 yrs buried at Toms Cr, Meth. married on 21 Feb 1803 in Fred Co. to Catherine Ohler/Oler d/o George Adam Ohler?
Catherine (Ohler) Crabbs died bef. 1842 as the will of George Adam Ohler lists only the children of his daughter, Catherine intermarried with Frederick Crabbs. This will was proved July 1842.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

For a more comprehensive understanding of the Migration to Kentucky,
perhaps one should read "The Frontiersmen" by Allan W. Eckert -
which is a chronology that features Simon Kenton.
But........
A quick snapshot of one family's migration is illustrated below:

Hi Lorin,
Welcome to the group. There were a couple of Moravian Churches in
Frederick County and they kept wonderful records. If your people lived in
the northern part of the county. they probably attended Graceham Moravian
Church which is still going strong. In this case, you absolutely need
"Moravian Families of Graceham Maryland........". It was translated from
the original German records by Henry Young and is like going to a family
reunion because of the detail. Since all my Frederick County ance
Annie,
I'm not offended. I have both German and Welsh and a bunch of others in my
