My grand-uncle, William Ritchie McFarlane married into the Cresaptown McKenzies, Clara Shaw McKenzie.  I found the couple and some of their children in Biertown Cemetery in Rawlings, MD.  In my online tree, I have "Foothills, W. VA" as the burial place of Thornton Gabriel McKenzie, Clara's father.  It was added early in my genealogy experience before I knew to document everything and I'm unsure where that info came from.  Sorry.

Thanks, that is good to know. I have no idea when it first started.

Gotcha here in Columbia, MO Jean

Just checking to see if my AOL account and rootsweb is working?

thanks Genie - I knew I had seen it spelled another way and guessed wrong. I will check newspaperarchive.com on Friday or over the weekend. Still couldn't find anything on Frisbey Folk tho. Happy Thanksgiving everyone - Ruth

Ruth & Pat, I'm betting the name was spelled "Weinberner" in the document, but Sarah's last name was actually "WINEBRENNER". There were tons of our Winebrenners in Allegany/Garrett county. The prefix of the name was changed from "Wein" to "Wine" right after they came off the boat. In doing research on the family, you wouldn't believe all the ways it's been misspelled (well, maybe you would..we've all been there). I looked as well and didn't come up with anything. Genie Editor by Default OurBrickWalls.com

pat, was the mothers name spelled WEINBERNER as you have it , or Weinbrenner? I can locate nothing for this family - Ruth do you have anY further info?

I am posting this to this list as I have had no luck in Arizona. Maybe some of the FOLK ancestors have his obituary. I have come up with a death certificate from Maricopa Co., Arizona for a Charles Bruce Folk dated 6-16-1935 burial 6-28-1935 in Greenwood Cemetery. He was born in Maryland and his father was Frisby Folk and his mother Sarah Weinberner. Could someone please help me locate this obit. Would it be possible to locate the obit of his father and mother, sorry I do not have dates on those. Pat Fairview, TX

Pat, Thanks for sending this. I found it very interesting to read even though I am not familiar with any of the people mentioned. I also found P Dorsey's "trained daughters" amusing.

Here are my two postings re: *Brown's Miscellaneous Writings 1880 - 1895 * ** Apparaently a lot of people including myself never received this e-mail do to the conflict with AOL.

Beautiful new residences greet your eyes in many places, such as HON. GEORGE BLOCHER and his brother HENRY, who has just finished a handsome residence upon the old BLOCHER-MUSSELLMAN seat, and MR. PATRICK DORSEY, who is comforted in one of the very finest dwellings in the country. We were guests of the widow HANSON BROWN. She and her son JOHN H. BROWN run the best farm on the ridge. Their energy and prudence have been rewarded this season with full crops of all kinds for "man and beast." Her home is one of great hospitality and generosity to the many comers and goers, and of course, she is much liked and respected. She is a reader and a subscriber of the REPUBLICAN, and wonders why her bill does not put in appearance for payment, as it is her only known debt. A healthy financial condition truly. We met another patron, the spouse of a moderate Democrat, and a close reader of the REPUBLICAN - a lady of sense and considerable information. The writer was modestly questioned as to the authorship of certain articles heretofore published in the paper named of a historic character. She seemed to take pleasure in admitting she had read them with pleasure and interest, but she begged to say there was one error, in stating WILLIAM CONRAD was the last survivor of the jury that convicted GEORGE SWEARENGEN IN 1829. She averted her ancestor JACOB WINTERS, one of that panel, died a year or two later than CONRAD. No doubt she is right. A bright woman is hard to beat on matter of fact. There can be no impropriety in saying the lady referred to is MRS. ANDREW LANCASTER. Just here let it be remarked city people greatly mistake and underate the intelligence and general information of the country people. Many of them are careful readers, and make good practical use of what they read and observe. It was not difficult to persuade us to make a visit to our old friend P. DORSEY. Here one finds genuine hospitality and pure civility. His much respected wife died several years ago. His household is handsomely presided over by his trained daughters who make it pleasant for you whether it be a short or long stay. DORSEY is doing a large and prosperous business in the manufacture of lumber and shingles; for the latter there is more demand now than for some years, at good prices. This industry is now the only one of the kind in this part of the country. The pioneer settler in this neighborhood was CHRISTIAN GARLITZ, at least 70 years ago. He built a cabin near where the Catholic church now stands in the dense woods, mostly pine. Tradition has it that in clearing a spot of ground around the house a perverse, tree was felled upon it with the young wife inside. The anxious cry was "SALLY, are you dead." She was unhurt, but strange to say, more than fifty years after, good old CHRISTY was killed in the woods by the fall of a tree. The men here of three score or more, are ELI WHITZELL, CHRISTIAN BLOCHER, ANDREW BLOCHER, LEO McKENZIE, ISRAEL GARLITZ and P. DORSEY, all respectable and good citizens. The two oldest died with the last year -- JESSE W. CHANEY and JEREMIZH McKENZIE. *October 16th, 1888.* * ________________________________________________________________________________ * Anyone have information on these families - JACOB WINTER, CHRISTIAN GARLITZ, LEO McKENZIE, ISRAEL GARLITZ, JEREMIAH McKENZIE???????

Having been drawn to this place on business, with a few days of social pleasures added, it has been thought fit to furnish the public with suggestion of a local and personal nature, that may not be unacceptable to the reader. The old name of this neighborhood is "BLUE LICK:, latter caller "PEA RIDGE." the post office established here, about a year ago is called "AVILTON," has a tri-weekly mail supplied from LONACONING, with rapidly increasing reading matter. Mr R E GARLITZ is the attentive postmaster. He also runs a country variety store and drive a thrifty business. The ubiquitous drummer has found him, though far in the interior. At convenient distances are two churches -- Catholic and Dunkard, but no school-house range. The frequent remark here is "Why don't the double headed School Board quit wasting the people's money in factious lawsuits?" The OLD ROBINSON MANSION is now being dismantled to be use for school purposes for the coming term. Attended Dunkard church last Sunday. This was their annual meeting and the most important one of the year, being the occasion of the Love Feast, which was celebrated the night before. The ceremony consist of the communion, partaking of the lamb soup and feet-washing. The REV. J. HOOVER, from Salisbury, Pa., was the minister. He is a bright, intelligent man, and preached a very respectable sermon; one worthy of attention. He looks like any other respectable minister, and is orthodox in his opinions and teachings, but not oppressively so. His subject was the covering and uncovering of the head, which was clearly handled. Evidently he was dealing with the hat and bonnet question now vexing that sect. the church here is (PAGE 43) said to be in prosperous condition. But their spacious, plain edifice, now fifteen years old, needs a coat of white paint. They are able, but not willing, for such an enterprise. This whole neighborhood was once densely covered with white pine and spruce, but it has in years past been cut and made into lumber in its various forms. In the places of once pine forests, of pine trees are now many farms under good cultivation, with excellent crops this season and a ready market for all surplus products in the GEORGE'S CREEK VALLEY. The continuous rains for many weeks have delayed and somewhat damaged the crops, but still the yield will be more than an average, even though some buckwheat and corn should be spoiled. Besides the ceriels and provender, there is an immense chestnut crop, now nearing its close. Plenty of sleek pigs in the woods. Will follow with the other half later. The call number of the book in SLC was 975.29 H2b Has anyone heard or know anything about the OLD ROBINSON MANSION? Thanks. Pat

Hi Betty, If this if the same Elizabeth Winter that I have, I show that she was married to a Robinson in a previous marriage. Do you have any information on this marriage? I am a little behind in the list postings as I did a lot of posting and then AOL and rootsweb were having a disagreement and all of the AOL members were blocked from rootsweb so I apologize it this has already been discussed.

This book in on Google books.Annual report of the Adjutant General of the State of West ..., Volume 1864 By West Virginia. Adjutant General's Office

here is the link to your book Priscilla - found it by googling: "Sypolt, Nathan H." which was one of the names on the page. http://books.google.com/books?id=k60UAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA179&lpg=PA179&dq=%22sypolt,+nathan+h.%22&source=bl&ots=Wh_pcCLFHF&sig=l68e69LtZ7ULuS5mT0s1WNoZLPA&hl=en&ei=L6HlTLWTNoaBlAfO_M2gDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22sypolt%2C%20nathan%20h.%22&f=false

WOW! Looks like you could teach a class on all the ins and outs of "searching." I'm anxious to get better acquainted with Google Books now. Thanks Ruth. I owe you... several times over, especially since you found the article about my grandmother's brother being kidnapped in 1900. That one was a doozie.

sorry - change the search state to West Virginia, not Maryland

Priscilla, After the CW, the Adj. Gen. had loads of info published re: the CW. Many were state books of rosters of soldiers of those states soldiers. Also were just reports of the war - I would suggest going to google or google books and for your search terms use: "Return of CAptain Joseph M. Godwin's" OR "godwin's company O" and see if the book comes up as a search result. Or once in google books, search "Maryland adjutant general's report" - play around with search terms and see what you locate - or search civil war draftees maryland - just play with search terms. good luck Ruth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Priscilla Engeman" <pengeman@charter.net> To: <mdallega@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 7:42 AM Subject: Re: [MDALLEGA] The Alleganian 13 July 1864 Transcription > Archibald Casteel is one of the names listed on the 1864 list of > draftees.
