1. [MDGARRET] electoral rolls [1]
Hey Pat, Got a quick question. Can someone access the current electoral rolls in order to get your name, birth date & address? If so, how do they go about it? Bye for now, Kathlee
2. Re: [MDGARRET] House of Thomas Johnson [1]
Carol, Connie Beachy was kind enough to go out to that area and take pictures for me when I first began researching my Maryland family. What a treasure she is to all of us! Thomas Johnson, the first governor of Maryland, was my 5th Great-Grandfather. His daughter was Rebecca Jennings Johnson who married the son of Thomas' brother (James) and his name was also Thomas (yes, they were first cousins). Rebecca and Thomas had a daughter named Margaret Rebecca and she married Captain James Grahame. While res

Carol, et. al., There is a picture of the old Johnson house in the back of Albert L. Feldstein's _Garrett County, MD (Postcard History Series)_. I'm not sure of when the picture was taken, but it appears in much better shape than it currently does. (I don't own the book, but noticed it while browsing a bookstore this past weekend.) I've a recent treo of pictures of the house taken by my sister a few weeks ago that I'll be uploading over the next few days. This poor old building has definitely taken a turn
4. Re: [MDGARRET] House of Thomas Johnson [1]
Carol, Connie Beachy is actually responsible for the picture of the Johnson structures. She gave me permission to post them. I've looked around the web for images of the building, and am surprised not to have found any yet. Do any of the museums in the area have any pictures? Who owns that property now? I'm a bit surprised not to find it protected as a state historical site. John On Dec 2, 2007 3:27 PM, carol vivier wrote: > John, > > I visited your photo site, thank you for s

8. Re: [MDGARRET] House of Thomas Johnson [1]
It's a bit of Irish Gaelic, although it might very well be Scots too. For years, I've used "Cheers!" to jauntily end my emails, but decided to throw in "Slainte Mhath" occasionally as well. Like Ellen said, it translates to a wish for good health. My 3-year old and I have been learning some Irish songs for children, and the odd mispronounced Irish phrases occasionally make it into my vocabulary. Be glad you're reading it rather than hearing it. :) (Now having said that, my Keating ancestors were of Norman

Thanks Connie and Alice, >From the MDGARRET archives (see the 28 Apr 2001 message from Pat Thompson below), it looks as if the school grounds may have been sold back to George C. and Maude Elizabeth (Pope *) Turner in 1936, about 12 years after the school closed. (* - George and Maude were married in 1896. One of their children was Weaver Turner, the name of one of the students at Turner School in 1903.)

11. [MDGARRET] land records-deeds [1]
Prior to 1900, we do have to struggle with some old handwriting in the deeds, but still, most of the time we can make out names (Be prepared for various spellings). I just found a typed copy of a 1901 deed for this John Brobst naming (including wives' names) 17 of his heirs. I was able to find 26 deeds involving the Brobst family. The deeds do hold a lot of clues. I also stumbled across a deed for my g, g, grandfather, William P. Murphy, (1858) and wife Anna. It is the only document I have for him, other t

John, I visited your photo site, thank you for sharing! I wanted to comment on the old Johnson house as I noted the picture was dated 2004. That was the year my sister and I first saw what was left of probably a very stunning house back then. It's style is different from any of the older houses I've come across in Garrett Co...it was sad to see it in such awful state of neglect. We didn't know the name of the original family but as it stood in 2004 we named it the haunted house. I once again passed th

14. [MDGARRET] Potter family [1]
Who was it who was looking for the Potter family? I finally found my package for this family. It's all about Kelita Potter and his family. I got a lot of info from a Erma (Wilson) McCaughey-Miller..back in 1996. Erma lived in Stewart, Florida. She died about a year later. Booklets of the Potters and other families can be found at the Allegany County College, here in Cumberland and at the museum in Oakland, Garrett County. Or it could be in the Oakland Library. Connie

This site is amazing to me even though I haven't been successful in learning about my ancestors who lived in Maryland somewhere from about 1860 to 1869. The couple, Samuel and Mary Queer BROOKS came from Somerset County, PA, had children in VA/WV and MD. When Samuel died or disappeared about 1869 Mary returned to Somerset County, PA. None of the immediate family remained in MD, and I presume it was Allegany County where they lived. I am, also presuming that Samuel is buried in MD since the younges
