Todays' Point Of Rocks is in today's Frederick County. However, I think that as the land became developed new western counties were created. Maybe P of Rocks was once in Mont. Co.

Ok, I'll open the can of worms here. Old Monocacy, which is what the original settlement was called is "very" open for debate. Most lay claim with certainty that it does consist of all tracts that were known as "Tasker's Chance", now sitting inside of downtown Frederick City. But, experts mostly agree (using "agree" loosely here) that Old Monocacy, named for the River, consist of the entire watershed Thank you very much for the geography lesson.! Hopefully it will make the search more productive. This is a good list . Alice in Magalia Ca.

Ok, I'll open the can of worms here. Old Monocacy, which is what the original settlement was called is "very" open for debate. Most lay claim with certainty that it does consist of all tracts that were known as "Tasker's Chance", now sitting inside of downtown Frederick City. But, experts mostly agree (using "agree" loosely here) that Old Monocacy, named for the River, consist of the entire watershed. At least by the early to late 1700's standards. If parties from say Wormdorf in Berks Co., PA were traveling thru Monocacy, they could have crossed the Monocacy at any given point. Case in point. Some if not many traveled thru Creagerstown, towards Thurmont and over the small mountain there to get to the other side heading towards Virginia for better settlements. Many have perceived this as a sign that Creagerstown was "the" true Monocacy settlement. Other's argue that it is the "Frederick-Town" area. And still others say it starts in PA and ends near the Carroll County line. I don't know if there's politics behind it all, but I'd go out on a limb and say that, at the very least, the areas we know as Frederick and surrounding areas were "known" as the "Old Monocacy Area" but Tasker's Chance got the whole thing started. If you were inside of Maryland, the Old Monocacy crosses over Route 70 just before entering Frederick City in Frederick Co., MD if you were coming from Baltimore in a SE to NW direction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chrystie - ROOTSWEB LIST ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE BROOKOVER - KRABAL - MOYERS LIST NEWSGROUPS MYERS GENEALOGY http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > From: MD-FRED-GEN-D-request@rootsweb.com > Reply-To: MD-FRED-GEN-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2002 04:09:36 -0600 > To: MD-FRED-GEN-D@rootsweb.com > Subject: MD-FRED-GEN-D Digest V02 #86 > > From: Morsnom2@cs.com > Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 23:43:54 EDT > To: MD-FRED-GEN-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [MDFred] Old Monocacy > > Can you tell me what or where Old Monocacy is?

Lorin, The cemetery is very much intact and the Graceham Moravian Church is alive and thriving. The minister is really nice and let me make copies of church records. He gave us a tour of the church and explained why the church was set up the way it was. Most of the stones are laid flat. That is their custom. If you go there, you'll need to bring a few supplies to get the best pictures without damaging the stones. You'll need a whisk broom, 1 or 2 gallons of water, grass clippers, paper towels, a trash bag, and artist's charcoal. After trimming around the stone, clean it and photograph it while it is wet. Be sure there is no shadow on the stone when you stand over it, then take the picture. Use the charcoal if you need to enhance the letters, etc., if needed. Please be sure to clean up before you leave. the pictures I took turned out great. There is also a two volume set of books you may find helpful. I think the name is "Tombstone Inscriptions" or something similar. Frederick County MD is also included in the and it was published in 1966. If you can't find the stones you want in the cemetery, check the books.

Hi, Does anyone know if the Graceham Moravian Church Cemetery is still intact? I have family buried there, and I would like to find if they still have gravemarkers.

Chrystie, I have been looking for Myers also and there are many pages (13) in "Pioneers of Old Monocacy" for Johann Caspar. There are a couple for John also. I only got the index page copied and don't know yet what is on them. "Monocacy and Catoctin" also has information on Caspar Myer who had a deed by 1757, but unk. if burials are there. Joanne Martinsburg, WV

Hi Lorin, RE: >Does anyone know if the Graceham Moravian Church Cemetery is still intact? >I have family buried there, and I would like to find if they still have >gravemarkers. The graveyard at Graceham is on a hill side across the street from the church. It is remarkable condition for a cemetery that old. Some of the stones are badly worn, but that is by no means the majority, which are quite readable. Graceham used the "choir" method for burials, ie, men to the right, women to the left and children to the back of the cemetery. Folks were buried in date order. By the way, the spring house at the rear of the church is original! With any luck, one of the church members will spot you in the cemetery and will come over and speak with you.

Yes, I was there. Markers readable. Cooperative sextant lives beside the cenetery. John Lorin Snyder wrote: > Hi, > > Does anyone know if the Graceham Moravian Church Cemetery is still > intact?

Hello Frederick Newsgroup! Living in Maryland, and being a MYERS as led me to focus on the MIER/MYER/MEYER lines from old Monocacy (Frederick-Town). I've visited the Frederick County Historical Society several times this summer (the dog-gone heat has kept me from going on a few occasions)! But no one seems to know, nor be able to tell me what reference book to look in to find where the original 1st of this line that bought part of Tasker's Chance land plot number 3 was/is buried. I've placed some of what I've researched "already" online, and in no way do I have everything up online - time and my carpel tunnel won't allow me this somedays. If you'd like to see what I have put online thus far, you may goto http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/lineages/casparmier/caspa rmi.htm "AND" I've placed the reference books that I have "poured thru" but still I find nothing at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/lineages/casparmier/sourc es.htm. I've had no problem finding his son Christoph(er) MEYER and his wife and children; his sons but nothing on Caspar MIER/MYER. I do have his will and he wrote his name as Caspar K. MYER though his original spelling on the 1827 land deed shows MIER. I've even fairly certain I've traced him back to his father, whom had the same name "Johann Caspar MEYER" in Holland. His name has also been written as Gasper MIRE from other evidence from the Reformed when he took his sacrament, certified by Jacob BRUNNER (RUNNER) a Reformed Church Elder & John Peter HOUGHMAM (HOFFMAN) as witness. If anyone can steer me in the right direction as to where to search, I'd really appreciate it. My theory is that he's buried in one of the Reformed Church Cemeteries in-town, possibly the one across from the historical society, but many of the oldest of stones that were removed to this church are unreadable, my luck. And if anyone wishes to see Jacobs "Apple Church Cemetery", I have some of the more readable stones online in Digital format. I ran out of memory or I would have taken many more. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/albums/md/frederick/apple cemetery/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chrystie - ROOTSWEB LIST ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE BROOKOVER - KRABAL - MOYERS LIST NEWSGROUPS MYERS GENEALOGY http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Subject: MD-FRED-GEN-D Digest V02 #85 > >

Anyone is welcomed to view a few of my online cemeteries I've photographed. Not all are complete due to film and money and some were not legible enough to bother with. At this moment I do not have the actual lists but do know that you can find some already online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/md/baltimore/ and you can refer to http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/genealogy/html/graves.html for added assistance. Other then what I have below, I can't answer any questions on those buried at these locations. I did this with hopes to help others find their ancestors and time does not allow me to do any further research for others, at this time.
