This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I live here in the Frederick, MD vicinity, have all my life, and I research my father's Loy family history out of Lessburg, Va near here. Anyway, graceman should read Graceham. This is a little town in northeastern Frederick County, MD. There is a covered bridge near Graceham named The Loy's Station Covered Bridge and it has been the subject of many a local artist. Anyway, the bridge was the site of an early settlement for John George Loy and fellow settlers traveling through the region. There were other Loy's listed in local history books as having contributed to the settlement at Loy's Station Covered Bridge within 1 mile of Graceham. Another town in that near vicinity that is common to this posting is named Thurmont, MD. The misspelling had it as Thurmount, I believe. In Thurmont, MD is the Apples Church, still in existence, which has a cemetery that holds some early Loy ancestors, but I don't have it before me just who they are. Hope this helps clear up some misspellings of names in MD.
