Hi Folks! It's been more than a month since I last sent a message about updates on the Baltimore City 19th-Century Photos website. There have been a number of new images uploaded. Whether or not you find something of interest regarding your family, please take a look at the two entries listed as Watercolor I and Watercolor II in the surnames index. These are fantastic finds from a new contributor Maureen Murdock who located two beautiful watercolor images made from photographs in the Baltimore studio of Kuhn and Cummins from the 1870s. Specifically, the artist appears to have been James Cummins. It is not unusual to find cabinet cards or even tintypes that have been "retouched" to give color to cheeks or eyes or jewelry, but the images listed as "Watercolor I & II" represent the "photographic artist" at his best. Please stop by for a visit because I know you'll enjoy these images. Don't forget that I'd be delighted to post any of your identified 19th-century Baltimore photos!

Joe, In addition to the various county historical and genealogical society libraries, you should probably plan to spend some time at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis; and since your ancestors arrived here so early, you might find information at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore. Below are the URLs for these organizations' Web sites, The catalogs of both are searchable, but only some indexes are online. (Some of the Archives' files are huge, so they take a long time to load with a dial-up modem.) Maryland State Archives Home Page http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/homepage/html/homepage.html I ran a quick search for "Deaver OR Deavour" (without the quotes) at the Archives site and turned up 44 hits, some of them Interesting. Look here for some Deaver marriages at the Archives: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/stagser/s1500/s1527/html/ssi1527d.html This page is a list of photoduplication orders at the Archives from 1986 to 1994, with all of the necessary call information shown. Use your browser's "Find" function to search for "deav". You will see lots of Deaver(s)/Deavour(s). http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/quickref/html/photodup.html Look here for a Deaver bible record at the Archives: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/catalog/000500/html/sc503.html Maryland Historical Society Home Page http://www.mdhs.org/ Betty

I was just there and I visited the Kuthe Library in Glen Burnie. You can call them and get directions. They have alot of information about Anne Arundel Cty as well as others. Lynn Headley

Sometime this fall, I hope to visit the Anne Arundel County area for a few days in order to perform some personal research on my ancestors. I would appreciate suggestions concerning best places to visit for research, such as records archives, libraries, courthouses, etc. Also, I would like to know any events that take place in the fall that are oriented on local history or genealogy. Since I haven't pinned down the exact week yet, it would be favorable to coincide the planned visit with such an event. I also hope to spend a day or two in DC while in that area. My Deaver ancestors, Richard Deaver and wife Grace Fitzmorris Deaver, are believe to have arrived in Anne Arundel County, MD on Dec 12, 1657 from Scotland on the ship Lionheart. It is mentioned in Gus Skordas' book "Early Settlers of Maryland" and I have a few land and church records supporting this. I believe they may have also gone to Cecil and Harford Counties. My descendents eventually went to Amherst County, VA shortly before the Revolutionary War and then Western NC in the 1780s and later TN, GA, and here in TX by the 1870s. However, there are still many Deavers still in Maryland. Any input is greatly appreciated... Thanks Joe D. Deaver http://ancestry.deaver.com http://www.rootsweb.com/~txbell ancestry@deaver.com

I don' know if you will have the time, but I think the best place to do research is the MD ST HIST SOC in Baltimore on W. Monument St. If you are a member, research is free, if not it is $5.00. Any time I get to MD to research my ancestors that is where I go. I have not had much luck at the Archives in Annapolis except for finding death certificates. The time period you are searching would not have had those. Research at the Archives is difficult but much easier at the historical society. and if you have transportation it is only about a half hour from Annapolis. This, of course is only my opinion. What ever you decide good luck with your research. Cheryl --- "Joe D.

Submitted and transcribed by Dee Gabler Deesroots@aol.com <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/deesroots/Index.html">Dee's Chesapeake Genealogy Page</A> http://members.aol.com/deesroots/Index.html ______________________________________ American, Baltimore (Baltimore American & Commercial Daily Advertiser) Saturday Morning, April 16, 1842 Published every morning at No. 2 South Gay street, by Dobbin, Murphy & Bose. THE STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION. The truly painful duty is imposed upon us of adding to the list of deaths occasioned by the fearful explosion on board the Medora on Thursday, the names of several of the sufferers who have since expired from the injuries then received, and of those who were missing and whose bodies have been recovered from the wreck. This most melancholy occurrence, by which so many human beings in the full enjoyment of health and vigor have been suddenly cut off, has not only visited with grief and mourning the immediate relations and friends of the deceased, but has cast a deep gloom over the whole city. The following are the names of those who have died since Thursday night: It is with unfeigned sorrow that we place at the head of this list the name of ANDREW F. HENDERSON, Esq., President of the Baltimore and Norfolk Steam Packet Company. It appears that at the time of the explosion Mr. H. was in the forward part of the boat, and was found after the explosion very much scalded. The steam which he inhaled at the same time produced his death, after lingering until half past eleven o'clock yesterday morning. Almost to the last Mr. Henderson retained a perfect consciousness of his approaching end, and yesterday morning with great calmness he made suitable disposition of his temporal affairs. He was a true Christian - unobtrusive and retiring in his manners - active useful and enterprising as a citizen - and estimable in all the relations of life. RICHARD LINTHICUM, residing in Lee street, died at an early hour yesterday morning. ROBERT DOYLE, brick-maker. JOHN SPEEDY, ship joiner, Fells' Point. GEORGE ENDLEY, reported yesterday as George Enley. He died on Friday morning at 2 o'clock, retaining his mental faculties up to a few minutes before his death. His own account of the explosion was that he was standing on the deck immediately over the boiler, at the time of its occurrence, and was carried up by its force. When consciousness returned he found himself in the wreck by the boiler immersed in scalding water. By his own exertions he extricated himself from this dreadful situation, and was soon afterwards conveyed to a tavern in the neighborhood. Mr. E. was an industrious machinist and had served his apprenticeship with and continued in the employment of Mr. Watchman up to the time of the explosion. He has left a wife and three children. THOMAS ELDRIDGE, died yesterday morning. JOHN HARPER, 2d mate of the Medora, died on Thursday evening. JOHN HALEY, a German, recently arrived from Strausburg, Germany, went on board in search of work, was thrown into the air, and fell into the water, severely scalded. He died yesterday afternoon. JOHN BOSTON, fireman of the Medora, died yesterday at 2 o'clock. The bodies of the following names persons were taken from and about the wreck during yesterday. WILLIAM LEWIS, bar-keeper on board the steamboat Frederick. GEORGE GEDDES, an apprentice to Mr. John Watchman, aged 19. S. W. HACKNEY, M.D. of Weldon, N.C., Agent of the Portsmouth Rail Road Company. JAMES W. LAVERS, carpenter of the ship Tippecanoe, and a member of the Gratitude Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. JAMES MITCHELL, (brother of one of the wheelmen) was taken out of the water soon after the firing of cannon commenced. JOHN KEMP, painter, living in Thompson st. O.T. We mentioned yesterday the truly afflicting circumstances of the death of JOHN MOALE, Esq., the active Agent of the Steamboat Company, and of his son WILLIAM, a fine boy of 14 years. The immediate cause of Mr. M's speedy death is attributed to the fact that his ribs were broken and driven inwards towards the region of the heart. He was very near the engine at the time of the explosion. His son, besides being scalded, received a severe fracture of the skull, which it is believed caused instant death. Mr. MOALE was a good citizen, and an affectionate husband and father; and his son was as promising and interesting a boy as ever gladdened the hearts of fond parents. The sudden cutting off of both father and son, in the full enjoyment of life and health, is a bereavement, the bitterness of which language cannot find words to express. We have also learned of the following additional persons who were seriously injured, and are not expected to live: GEORGE HYDE, an apprentice to Mr. Watchman, had two of his ribs broken, his head injured, an his face badly scalded. JOHN YEAGER, late an Engineer of Lanvale Factory - cannot recover. JAMES RIDGELY, an engineer. ISAIAH WAGNER, and LOUIS WAGNER, brothers, both badly scalded. GEORGE HYAM, seriously scalded. DUNCAN FERGUSON, Engineer. JOSEPH CRAIG, Engineer. JACKSON REEDER, (son of Charles.) WESLEY CULLY. The following are the names of persons injured, not before mentioned. PATRICK COLLINS, badly scalded. JAMES CLARK, badly scalded. Wm. ROBERTS, head much injured. Wm. ELLERY, badly hurt in the back, but not scalded. DANIEL STEVENS, fireman, badly scalded in the face, breast and arms - is supposed not to have inhaled the steam and may get well. MARTIN HICKLEY, badly bruised. GEORGE CLAY, slightly scalded GEORGE REYNOLDS, badly scalded. JOHN MITCHELL, both legs broken - cannot survive. JAMES MONTGOMERY, scalded. DANIEL STEVENS, slightly scalded. HENRY SNYDER, scalded. ISAIAH WAGNER, Block-maker, slightly. DAVID IRWIN, cook of the Medora, slightly. Wm. ALLEN, and two sons, ship joiners, slightly Captain COFFEY, of the steamboat Georgia, slightly. Among the missing is FRANCIS McALEAR, engineer and machinist. The persons on board who escaped uninjured were R.B. CULLY, ship carpenter. THOMAS WILDEY. A. SPEEDEN. WALTER BALL, Clerk to the Steamboat Company. JOHN WATCHMAN, engineer and machinist. J. R. BROMWELL, S. J. FOLEY, GIDEON BROWN, Wm. TOMLINSON, ____ CHICKEN. A. WATSON, Engineer of the Steamboat Gosport. GEORGE AIRES, engineer of the Georgia. Wm. SMITH, (colored) chief steward of the Georgia, was blown overboard but not injured. JOHN CHAPMAN, (colored) chief cook of the Georgia, was blown overboard but not injured. BENJ. BROWN, (colored) first steward of the Medora, blown overboard-uninjured. Brown was blown up in the explosion which destroyed the steamer Pulaski. We learn that Captain SUTTON was blown high in the air, and fell among the wreck of timber in the water. He received a severe wound in his head, had his face and arms bruised and mutilated in the most shocking manner. He appeared to be doing well last night. We learn that Mr. JOHN HENDERSON, of Pratt street, was more severely injured than was at first supposed. We stated yesterday that probably one hundred persons or more were on board the Medora at the time of the explosion. We have since been informed by a gentleman on whose accuracy every reliance may be placed, that there were not, to all appearance, more than fifty or sixty on board. In mentioning yesterday the names of those physicians who promptly repaired to the assistance of the unfortunate persons who were in the Medora, we omitted to include the names of Drs. DURKEE, HINTZE, MONKUR, MAGUIRE, REILLY, KINNEMON, ALBERS, BAKER, two Drs. RICH, and two Drs. ROBERTS. At an early hour yesterday morning his Honor the Mayor, and other officers of the Corporation, including the High Constable and a large body of police officers, promptly repaired the scene of desolation, prepared to render all possible assistance in rescuing from the sunken wreck the bodies of those who were believed to be carried down or blown into the water. A large body of workmen were employed who were busily engaged all day in clearing away the wreck, and dragging the bottom of the basin. In the course of the day the Mayor ordered a piece of ordnance to be brought to the spot and fired, in the hope that the concussion would, as is frequently the case, cause the bodies to rise. Last evening, a large number of men commenced the removal of the machinery on board the Medora, for the purpose of getting the hull afloat. At the suggestion of the Mayor, a coroner's inquest will be held to-day over one of the persons taken from the wreck of the Medora, when it is expected that inquiry will be made into the causes which produced the sad disaster. The Marion Temperance Society yesterday afternoon attended to the grave remains of their deceased fellow member, BENJAMIN FRENCH, who was killed by the explosion of the Medora. The burial of several members of the Watchman Fire Company, who were killed by the explosion of the Medora, took place yesterday afternoon. The Watchman Fire Company, accompanied by a large number of the members of other companies, marched in the funeral procession. The flags of the shipping and public places were all at half mast yesterday. It should be borne in mind that the steamboat Medora, at the time of the accident, was yet in the hands of the builders, she having never been delivered to the Baltimore and Norfolk Steam-packet Company, for whose use she was built. No accident of the kind has ever happened to any boat while under the control of the careful agents of this Company. LIST OF THE DEAD The following is a complete list of the persons who were killed by the explosion, or have since died from its effects, as far as ascertained up to nine o'clock last night. The number of dead, thus far, is twenty three! The last six in the list were those who were taken out of the water in the course of yesterday. - From the condition of some of the sufferers, it is feared that others will be added to it: JOHN C. MOALE, WILLIAM MOALE, JOSEPH LECOMPTE, Capt. JOHN VICKERS, EDMUND YOUNG, BENJAMIN FRENCH, JOHN BOON, JOHN BURNS, ANDREW F. HENDERSON, RICHARD LINTHICUM, ROBERT DOYLE, JOHN SPEEDY, GEORGE ENDLEY, THOMAS ELDRIDGE, JOHN HARPER, JOHN HALEY, JOHN BOSTON, WILLIAM LEWIS, GEORGE GEDDES, S. W. HACKNEY, M.D., JAMES W. LAVERS, JAMES MITCHELL, JOHN KEMP.
