Hello, Mary Ann, I found no Mahoneys in any of the three books mentioned. I also checked some cemetery listings I have for Washington County and found nothing there except this listing: MANONEY, Joseph Elbert s/o J. M. & M. E. MALONEY b. 8 Nov. 1921 d. 11 Feb 1922. The two spellings of the name in this listing is how it appears in the book. It is not a typo on my part. The book is Vol. VI of Washington County Cemetery Records, page 53. The burial site is Rose Hill Cemetery in Hagerstown. I have only volumes I, VI, and VII, so someone else would have to check the others for you.
