Is St. Mary's the name of the Luthern Church in Silver Run????


This post is something I'm doing for a cousin,
>Judge Karl Parrish >>of Wilmington De.
>>>He is seeking information on a common ancestor of ours, Joshua Parrish
>>>[1770-1840]. His requests concern events that might have happened at St.
>>>[Marys] Luthern Church at Silver Run MD.
>>>
>>>His questions are as follows:
>>>1. Is St. Marys Church still in Silver Run?
>>>2 Are the records from that Church still in Silver Run, or passed on to
>>>some other place? If so, where might they be found?
>>>3. Do the records hold the marriage of Joshua Parrish to Barbara Timble
>>>and the births of their children?
>>>
>>>A few quotes from a book that I wrote will fill in details. This is
>>>from: A ROMP THROUGH EARLY CAMBRIA CO. PA, Chapter 7, Events in
>>>Maryland.
>>>
>>>". . . concerning Joshua Parrish, I had mentioned Joshua earlier as an
>>>ancestor and said that he had worked at the Widow Parrs mill. That mill
>>>was just up the Gettysburg Pike, a few miles above the border. I was
>>>hoping that the document in question might point to who his parents were;
>>> thats an item a number of people have been looking for. Well, it came
>>>close. It detailed the family of Joshuas wife, Barbara. Ill print out
>>>the information as it came to me:
>>>
>>>Frederick County, MD Equity Liber JS-1
>>>
>>>Folio 290-5, dated 14 March 1818
>>>
>>>Peter Erb [of Christopher] vs Joshua Parrish et al
>>>
>>>George Timble, deceased.
>>>Widow - Sophia & children:
>>>. . .Barbara married to Joshua Parrish, Cambria Co. PA
>>>. . .Elizabeth married to Peter Yingling, Bedford Co. PA
>>>. . .Mary Timble, From County
>>>
>>>Peter Erb purchased from the above children of George Timble, tenants in
>>>common, land tract
>>>Dyers Mill Forest, 115 A. in Frederick Co. for $1,940.00; payment
>>>made, but deed not
>>>executed. Order was made to execute deed 29 Oct. 1818.
>>>
>>>The spelling of the name was a bit different. Timble had been passed
>>>down by Cambria sources as Thimble; but thats pretty close. Otherwise,
>>>all we had been told of Barbaras father was that he had been in the
>>>German Army. And there was no hint of the fact that they had come from
>>>the Maryland area we are now considering. And we get in addition Sophia,
>>>Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth was yet another of the Marylanders who
>>>made the westward journey. The location of the tract is also
>>>significant. Old maps of patent tract names place Dyers Mill Forest
>>>just to the northwest of OHaras Inheritance. A map on the next page
>>>will show the location of Dyers Mill Forest.
>>>
>>>The Erbs show up in a good number of documents. Christopher Erb appears
>>>in an 1791 agreement among a number of people who are settling
>>>previously unclear property boundaries. Patience Care is mentioned as is
>>>a stone planted in Thos. B. Durbins meadow. The property seems to run
>>>along Pipe Creek. Also mentioned are Thomas McGuire and Chas. Angell.
>>>The signators are Angell, Erb, and Durbin. Witnessing are Ely McKinzie,
>>>Francis Groff, James Wells, and Danl. Durbin."
