Thank you for posting this. It listed M. G. Harvey once as a witness and then again as M. G. Harvey J.P. Is this Manassah G. Harvey that is known as Doc Harvey? Was he also a Justice of the Peace?

John A. Wagner (listed in graves book) no dates on stone; Co. D, 3rd MD PHB,
Inf.




ELIZABETH M. MCCROBIE is the daughter of John William McCrobie & Delilah
Murphy. She was born 1838.

1880. I don't have the names of first spouses for either. (p.a.t.)
Elizabeth was listed as a widow and John as a widower at the time of

JOHN A. WAGNER & ELIZABETH M. MCCROBIE. They were married on 25 Nov 1880 in
Garrett Co., Maryland. They had no children.


RACHAEL UNKNOWN. She was born Abt. 1803 in Pennsylvania. She died Bet.
1870-1880 in Probably Garrett Co., Maryland.


Notes for Rachael Unknown:
General Notes: Deed of July 18, 1861 (then) Allegany Co. MD - Rachael Wagner
bought from John Brobst and Mary Ann (Friend) Brobst, Military Lot # 1861,
called "Uncleton" (fifty acres). [Uncleton was/is in the Swanton, MD area]
I believe Rachael is somehow related to the Brobst and Craven families of
(now) Garrett Co., Maryland.
There is only one John A. Wagner listed in the 1870 census for Garrett Co.,
MD and his wife is Rachael. I can't find Rachael after this census, thus I
believe the marriage record for John A. Wagoner to Elizabeth McCrobie in
1880 and both being listed as widow and widow respectively, is John's second
marriage after Rachael died sometime between 1870 and 1880.

At the request of Rachael Wagner this deed was recorded July 18, 1861.
This deed made this twenty second day of April in the year of our Lord
eighteen hundred and sixty one by us John Brobst and Mary A. Brobst, his
wife, Witnesseth; that in consideration of two hundred (dollars) in hand
