Has anyone heard of a church in the Frederick Town area around 1830s called "The Radical Old United Brethern". Any Cemetery next to that church? I'm trying to track some Zeigler/Siglers, Smiths and Furrys that left that area and went to Montgomery and Preble Counties in OH in the 1830s and 1840s. Some of these families were members of this church.
Thanks,

hello to the list..
i've been looking through the County land records and wonder if anyone is familiar with
a Patent called "Simpey's Ridge"....?
somewhere very near to "Simpey's Ridge" is another patent I am unable to identify because
the handwriting of the records is difficult to interpret but seems to be something close to
"Juniak" or perhaps "Tuniak'
do either of these patents seem familiar to anyone
i beleive them to be somewhere near South Mountain ..
