In addition to my one German line, STOTTLEMYER, also have several English groups; SPRIGGS, BACON, NUTHALL, MAGRUDER. Sally Rolls Pavia Sun City, AZ sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened." Hi: Is this group only for German ancestors who came to Frederick County, MD? Mine were Welsh from the Welsh area of Frederick County. If I'm not on the right list, I'll have to get off. Is there another list for the Welsh in Frederick County as that is all I'm interested in. Annie

Hi, I'm new to the list as well as Frederick County-area research. I've nearly connected my 4-great-grandfather, Ludwick SNYDER, with the parents that a great deal of circumstantial evidence clearly shows are his. Now, I need to do a great deal of follow up research. Ludwick, it seems, was born in Sept. 1768, on Catoctin Mtn., Frederick Co., son of Jacob and Maria Magdalena (BISSINGER) SCHNEIDER. Jacob was an immigrant supposedly from Wurtenburg, Germany, and evidently a Moravian. Jacob died at the age of 53 in 1778, and a Michael Snider, presumably a brother, acted as administrator of the estate. There were ten children who received a share: John, Jacob, Abraham, Elizabeth, Magdalen, Daniel, Christiana, Lodewick, Ann Mary, and Barbara. I have yet to track any of these people in any Frederick-area historical sources. Jacob was supposedly a Rev. War veteran, so I need to access those Maryland records, as well. I would greatly appreciate any help or direction in my Frederick County research project.

Hi Lorin, Welcome to the group. There were a couple of Moravian Churches in Frederick County and they kept wonderful records. If your people lived in the northern part of the county. they probably attended Graceham Moravian Church which is still going strong. In this case, you absolutely need "Moravian Families of Graceham Maryland........". It was translated from the original German records by Henry Young and is like going to a family reunion because of the detail. Since all my Frederick County ancestors went to Graceham, that's what I know about. The original German records are at the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, PA. Good Luck!

I found a land record of a Garrard Davis of Frederick Co., MD listed about 1745. I believe that he is either the father or grandfather of my ancestor, Benjamin Davis who was born in Md May 1776. A Garrard Davis, the father of my Benjamin, died in Mason County, KY about 1802 and left a will. He had a son named Garrard who married Elizabeth McDermid or McDermott in Frederick County in 1795. Anyone doing research on this line? Thanks, Annie

Joan Hello once again to all Hessian soldier researchers; I would like to help the enquirer with some information about this soldier HITAFFER, whose real name was HADOERFER, Johann Michael, and was a Grenadier (private) with the Ansbach-Bayreuth troops. He deserted 28 April 1782, and apparently joined the Armand's Legion in Maryland. There has been some correspondence about him on my AMREV-HESSIANS-L mail list, which can be found in the mail list archives. Hope this helps in a small way.

It is said he was given a piece of land upon which he built a log cabin either in VA or MD. I have been searching for aprox. 15 years for this man with the very unusual name. So far all Hitaffers in this country are related to me. The Hitaffer whom I beleive to be my 4th grt. shows on the 1800-1810 Loudoun VA ce as a Jon Hitopher sp Marie. To date I beleive this should be a John and the earliest Hitaffer or such anyone has found. This Jon was bo by 1765. I'm sure this name has been angilized to some degree. How or how much is the big ?

Tom, That was very helpful, Thank you. I have just begun on this family and suspected some of those links, but hadn't confirmed them. You gave me a lot of information I didn't have. By the way, I have found Engel and Engle, too, as well as Durbin and Durben. This family ended up in Hagerstown and they have "Durben" on their tombstones. I am new to this list and have very few Frederick County resources, but I have a lot of Washington County resources. If anyone needs Washington County look-ups, please let me know.

Sorry but I don't have anything to contribute. I only know that an Ann H. Wilcoxon (1809-1892) married into my line of the Anderson family.
