Good Morning: I would like to swap information with anyone who has (or is) worked on the history of this man (parents and children). THANKS and I look forward to helping each other. Walt "15 Nov 1731, Nicholas Grimes Late of Baltimore County MD,, Planter; but now of Prince William County in the Colony of Virginia, Planter, sells 50 acres in Baltimore County called "Grimes Chance" which he patented in 1724." His wife as of this date is Alice.

Ballykilcline Reunion, July 19 through July 22, 2007 Days Hotel, Deereco Road, Timonium, Maryland, USA Ballykilcline was a small townland near the Strokestown Park House, in Roscommon County, Ireland (which now houses the Famine Museum) - it faced some notoriety due to an extended rent strike against the Crown's landlords that began in the 1830's, which was lead by a man named Richard Padian, among others. Mr. Padian and his family, along with the entire population of the townland, were subsequently evicted and paid by the Crown to emigrate to the US in 1846/1847 at the height of the Great Famine. The Padians (along with several other Ballykilcline families) settled in Texas, Maryland, helped to establish St. Joseph's Catholic Church; the Padonia area is so named for Richard Padian to this day. I grew up in Texas Maryland, and began attempting to chronicle the stories of my Scally, Kilroy, Covahey, Croghan, Cummings, Toolan, and Lindsay ancestors (many of whom came from Roscommon County). I became involved with the Ballykilcline Society right about the time that the unrest and emigrations were chronicled in the book, "The End of Hidden Ireland" by Robert Scally, archaeological digs were being conducted by Dr. Charles Orser, and all of these were featured in a Discovery Channel "movie" as part of their "Moments in Time" series. This year's Ballykilcline Society Reunion is being held in "Texas, Maryland", July 19 through 22, 2007, and we are still trying to locate as many descendants of the Irish who settled St. Joseph's Texas, regardless of whether their ancestors were from Ballykilcline, in order to invite them to our reunion, and/or to share their stories of the place that I describe as "The nearest place that wasn't Ireland, nor was it in Texas". We would also like to invite others who might be interested in the events being held next week. For additional information, you can go to http://ballykilcline.com/index.html, where you will also find a pdf with our tentative schedule, as well. I am one of the speakers, although I had hoped my father would be around to tell the stories about growing up along the railroad tracks in Texas. Dad passed away in February, so I am dedicating my participation in the Reunion to my dad, Richard I. Kilroy, Sr. Please feel free to email me at cassiekt@verizon.net for additional details. We need to know ASAP whether you are interested in attending all or part of the reunion as we need to provide numbers for meals etc. Cost for the complete reunion is $130, made payable to Patricia Padian, but for a limited time, we are accepting registrations for a single days events as indicated below. Thursday 7/19 (Free) This will be "Surname Day", where we will gather at the Days Hotel in Timonium from 1 to 5pm to discuss the various surnames that we all are researching, hoping to connect to an ever growing family of descendants. There is no charge for this event, but we still need you to pre-register. Friday 7/20 ($60) Registration; speaker Dr. Timothy Meagher on Irish- american History; Mary Lee Dunn on her upcoming book about the Ballykilcline immigrants that went to Vermont; John McGrain, Baltimore County Historian will present his collection of photos and stories of early Texas and beyond; Cassie Kilroy Thompson, on family stories from Texas, Maryland; entertainment by Broesler School of Irish Dance, followed by a buffet dinner. Saturday 7/21 ($55) Morning - tours (by car) of a number of the local sights, including the Baltimore County Almshouse - home of the Historical Society of Baltimore County, a view of the limestone and marble quarries, and St. Joseph's RC Church, where Mass will be said by Bishop W. Francis Malooly at 10am. Mass is open to the public, for which there is no charge; please consider joining us as we celebrate the role that the Catholic faith played in the lives of our early ancestors to the US. The afternoon is open so that attendees can explore the area, utilize the resources of the Historical Society, etc. An optional tour of the Inner Harbor did not have enough registrants to warrant a bus, but arrangements are being explored to support those that wish to drive or take the Light Rail to the Inner Harbor area. We will reconvene at 6pm at the Days Hotel for dinner and our Guest Speaker, Fr. Gerald Fogarty, an eniment historian at UVA, and a descendant of a Neary from Roscommon County. Ms. Tricia Pyne, the archivist for the Archdiocese of Baltimore will also join us for the evening. Entertainment by native Baltomorean musician, Patrick O'Brennan. Sunday 7/22 ($35) Our closing event will be a brunch at An Poitin Stil, an authentic Irish pub not far from the Days Hotel, where door prizes will be awarded, including the grand prize of a Waterford Crystal "Tall Ship" sculpture. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. I can be reached at the email address or my cell # below. I look forward to meeting all of you! -- Cassie Kilroy Thompson Clarksville, Maryland cassiekt@verizon.net C 301-906-5039 -----------------

Did the first wife pass ?? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

But how does one discover - except by trial and lookinnnng - whether a divorce occurred? I have found the record of a marriage in 1819 between one Peregrine Ensey and and Elizabeth Staley, with I believe four children from the marriage. Then one Peregrine Ensey marries Rachel Hobbs in 1829 - the latter being my gggrandparents. I find it difficult to believe that there were two individuals with the same name in the same area of MD at the same time - but what happened to Elizabethe and the kids? I have not as yet researched the possible divorce material but that thought has occurred to me since "my" Peregrine was an alcoholic and apparently couldn't hold a job - gggrandmother applied for a pension based on one of her children's military service (he was killed at Antietam at the age of 19 - what a waste of hundreds of thousands of lives!) and a deposition stated that Peregrine had "dissipated habits" for 15 years prior to his death in 1860. PS so far haven't found him in the mortality schedules for 1860. Any suggestions beyond what Frank suggested would be welcome.

Maryland Divorce Records (Suzanne Weise) > 2. Re: Maryland Divorce Records (Frank Collins) > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >

Hi Suzanne, I researched 19th century divorce records in Dorchester County found a huge amount of information. At the time (about 1992), the Dorchester County divorce records were kept in the county courthouse in Cambridge. They had an old ledger that had all the court cases including divorces. I found a reference to the divorce record for my ancestor and then I went into the land records room and found the walls were lined with hundreds of boxes with old court cases. I found a few boxes I was looking for, photocopied the contents of one, and transcribed a large part of it. Here is a link to show you what I transcribed from the 1852 Will. It is quite interesting - hair pulling, gun shots in the house, and addiction to laudanum etc. http://www.collinsfactor.com/EastNewMarket/1877SmithCottage.htm Scroll about half way down the page for the divorce (county circuit court) record. I believe the county circuit court records have since been transferred to the Maryland State Archives. They are probably under the uncatalogued Transer series instead of the Coagser series at the following link http://guide.mdsa.net/. You will likely have some challenges finding what you want in the uncatalogued records. I am not sure how I would now go about locating the1852 divorce record that I once photocopied at the courthouse. You would definitely need to visit the Archives and would need some help from the information desk.

I have noted two divorce announcements for the name MONSTERY in the Maryland SUN paper: One is in 1855 and the other in 1879. Both are listed as filed in the Circuit Court. Is there any further source for this records? Did the State keep such records and are they now available to the public? Is there a film at the Family History Library that might cover these records. Thank you for any help. Suzanne hsweise@comcast.net
