Looking for relatives of anyone mentioned in this news article. My father, Joseph I. Novak, is a nephew of EDWARD and I am trying to find anything I can !!!!

Born in Baltimore, he was a graduate of St. Stanislaus Parochial School, Calvert Hall and studied law at the University of Baltimore.

Gene, The Old Otterbein Church did exist prior to 1792. A plaque at Old Otterbein Church, which is located at the corner of Sharp and Conway, indicates that the "present edifice" was built in 1785: "Mother Church" of the United Brethren in Christ. First Chapel erected 1771, present edifice, 1785. Burial place of the denomination's founder, Philip Wilhelm Otterbein, pastor, 1774-1813. Lovely Lane Chapel, "Mother Church of American Methodism", organized on this site, 1772." I did not understand the above reference to Lovely Lane Chapel. Many protestant churches merged over the years and so it might have been the case with Lovely Lane, but that is only speculation on my part.

Hi! This is my first posting (so go easy on me if I make a mistake!). I have a number of "brick walls" in Baltimore City and County, and one Baltimore family that goes back to Talbot County, which is why I'm posting to several lists. My main Baltimore line is the Thomas and Esther Rutter family. I have some material on them on my webpage at http://www.geocities.com/orbweaversweb/gen/rutter.html. I'm trying to trace back the families that tie into this line. Here's where I need help most: Robert C. Winks (1825-1911) m. Sarah Ann Marshall (1832-1861) c. Sarah B. Winks (1856-1932) m. Charles Waggaman Rutter (1857-1887), lived in Baltimore City. I don't know anything about the Winks or Marshall families, nor the names of Sarah's siblings. Talbot County line: 1. Henry Johnson ( - Before 1783) & Mary, resided Talbot Co. 1. Col.(?) Henry Johnson ( - 11 Dec 1809) & Elizabeth Maxwell (b. About 1780) daughter of John Maxwell. Resided Talbot County - White Marshes and Rich Farm. 1. William H. Johnson (About 1800 - 1 Apr 1836) & Ann Eliza Currie ( - 16 Jan 1847). Resided Talbot Co. and Baltimore City. He died in a hunting accident. 1. Aurora C. Johnson (1828 - 7 May 1899) & Philip Graybill Rutter (1826 - 18 Dec 1862). Resided Baltimore City. 1. Charles Waggaman Rutter (10 Sep 1857 - 27 Nov 1887) & Sarah B. Winks (7 Feb 1856 - 21 Oct 1932). Resided Baltimore City. 2. Henry (Harrie) Johnson Rutter (8 Jan 1854 - 23 Jan 1863) 2. Albert Johnson & Cora 3. Elizabeth Maxwell Johnson (21 Apr 1831 - 17 Sep 1905) Ann Currie is a huge question mark. The marriage notice says that she resided Baltimore City. That's all I have been able to find on her. And where does "Waggaman" come from? 1. Thomas Graybill Rutter (13 Dec 1790 - 17 Jan 1857) & Louisa Rutter (8 Aug 1802 - 7 Jan 1834) 1. Edward J. Rutter ( - 1856) & Hattie Norwood 2. Josias Rutter (Aug 1832 - Aug 1832) 3. Thomas G. Rutter (Nov 1828 - 6 Aug 1829) 4. Francis Rutter (12 Jan 1824 - 1843) & Emily M. (28 Mar 1823 - 25 May 1893) 5. Philip Graybill Rutter (1826 - 18 Dec 1862) & Aurora C. Johnson (1828 - 7 May 1899) 6. Isabella Rutter (Apr 1828 - ) The question here is, who were Louisa Rutter's parents? Thomas married, 2nd, Margaret Rutter. My cousin speculates that Louisa was the daughter of Solomon Rutter and Margarette Reidenour, but we have no proof. Nicholas Reidenour Margarette "Peggy" Reidenour (27 Jun 1769 - 1854) & Captain Solomon Rutter (16 Oct 1761 - 28 Feb 1821) Anything at all about this family would be welcome. There are lots of Reidenour/Ridenour/Reitenauer families in Pennsylvania, but I haven't been able to make a connection. Here's a family in my Kemp line (http://www.geocities.com/orbweaversweb/gen/kemp.html): 1.David Greves/Greaves (1787 - 29 Jan 1849) & Rebecca Parker (1782 - 12 Feb 1855) Flour dealer in Baltimore City - I would like to know more about the Baltimore flour dealers. He was apparently rather wealthy. 1.Isabella Greves ( - Before 1849) & Humphreys 1.Thomas Humphreys (1842 - ) 2.Mary Greves (1814 - ) & Samuel Long 3.David Greves (1815 - ) 4.Christiana Greves (1819 - ) & George Bean ( - Before 1849) 5.Elizabeth Ann Greves (1821 - 17 Mar 1903) & James N. Muir (1818 - 25 Oct 1893) 1.Elizabeth Muir (28 Jul 1841 - ) 2.John David Muir (20 May 1843 - 27 May 1926) 3.Emma Muir (20 Jun 1845 - 14 Nov 1930) & G. Robert Godman (13 Feb 1837 - ) 4.James N. Muir Jr. (10 Feb 1846 - 9 Oct 1864) 5.Elizabeth Muir (1848/1849 - ) 6.Rebecca Muir (19 Aug 1849 - 22 Mar 1855) 7.Charles Muir (17 Aug 1851 - 5 Jul 1863) 8.David Muir (1 Jul 1854 - 1 Jul 1854) 9.Isabelle Greves (Belle) Muir (1 Jul 1856 - 17 Jul 1910) & John Kersey Sears Kemp (18 Jul 1855 - 21 Aug 1919) 10.Mary Muir (26 Feb 1858 - ) 11.Robert Muir (27 Apr 1859 - ) 6.Rebecca Greves (1825 - ) 7.Maria Greves (1825 - ) & James Smith (1824 - ) 1.David Smith (1850 - ) My cousin indicated that Rebecca Parker was born in Pennsylvania. In addition, I have a history question about Baltimore City: Thomas Rutter (1732-1807) had land on Jones Falls, but he was also a merchant. I was wondering how trade at Baltimore harbor was handled at that time. Was there a public dock? Would he have owned the ships he used? What were the roads like then? He was in partnership with a Rueben Etting, but that's all I know. Does anyone know of a good, detailed, in-print book dealing with the colonial history of Baltimore and/or Maryland? I live in California, so I haven't been able to use the resources of the Maryland Historical Society, dearly as I would love to do so. I would be grateful for any help with these families, or if you are a descendant, contact me, even if you don't know that much about them. Thanks for your help, and sorry this message is so long!

Am searching for information on a marriage that occurred in either Baltimore County, Frederick County or Baltimore City. The nuptial was between a George Lemon/Lemmon/Leman/Lehman/etc. & a Mary Agnes Elizabeth Young/Jung. I have seen the bride referred to as Mary Agnes Elizabeth Young, Agnes Elizabeth Young or Mary Elizabeth Young. The marriage, according to my information, happened sometime in April of 1758. Does anyone have access to the marriage record of George Lemon & Mary Agnes Elizabeth Young? Thank you in advance for any information you may have. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

Two brothers were known to have come to the United States from Germany. One, my ancestor, was Henry Kohlhauer. If he had not come, I would not be here. The true mark of an ancestor!!! He married Catherine Elizabeth Becker. Same goes for her! Probably they married about 1797, but that is not a date I list, as it is only rough, and based on the first child being born in 1798. But since Catherine was born abt. 1777, it is probably not too far off! The first daughter was Mary COLHOUER. Formerly, we had her listed as Maria. She was born February 14, 1805. Recent information indicates that she married a Ferdinand WOOLERY. This is a breakthrough. It was in Baltimore, March 26, 1830. I also post this to Carroll, since it is known that that was a most popular county for Colhouers, of whatever spelling, and so I am asking you Carrollians to look out for those names, also! Does anyone show any such names, please? Thanks, Vince Summers

Hi, Look under one of your search sites and put in the words LOVELY LANE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. You will find several site, one of them being a history of the church. Betty

Posted on: BaltimoreCity County Md. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Md/BaltimoreCity/2902 Surname: Wolinski, Niedbalska, Cieszynski ------------------------- My great great grandfather, Jozef Wolinski, died between January, 1872, and October, 1875. When his wife, Konstancja Niedbalska Wolinski remarried, the church record lists her as "widow of Jozef Wolinski." Banns were read three times prior to the wedding. In a community as small as the Baltimore Polish community during that time, had Jozef abandoned her, it is unlikely that the priest would not have known. Also, there is no record of the church having given her any dispensation to remarry. So, it is not likely that your Jozef Wolinski is the same person as my Josef Wolinski.
