This came across one of the other mailing lists that I belong. I found it to
be very informative.

We would like to invite you to visit The POORHOUSE STORY website (a
clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at
http://www.poorhousestory.com

We have just posted some interesting material about: How Revolutionary
Soldiers Guarding "Conventioners" (or Prisoners of War) Came to be Housed in
the Poorhouse at Frederick, Maryland in 1780.

For people new to The POORHOUSE STORY,
DIRECTIONS:
At the homepage (linked above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then click on
MARYLAND in the table of states.
You will find this story at the top of the page.

There are other pages on our website which may help you gain more insight
into the history of poorhouses. They are linked off the homepage on the left
and include: HISTORY, LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS, FEATURED ARTICLES, and NEWS
ALERTS (where we have a petition to sign regarding attempts to preserve an
old poorhouse).

We welcome you comments or submissions of material for posting on the
website.

Hope you enjoy the site!
