Hi Sue, http://www.CyndisList.com/medical.htm#Epidemics There is a timeline of diseases and epidemics in the USA I check the 1850 Mortality Schedule for Carroll County and there was a lot of deaths by typhoid, scarlett fever and cholera. Sue Bundy

What illness in 1840 would have killed four members of my Sullivan family? Does anybody know? Or where could I find the answer? Thanks, Sue

Can anyone supply information on the parents or siblings of Jacob RIGHTER b. 25 Jul 1782 and d. 7 Mar 1852. He was married first to Rachel Wampler on 5 Aug 1808 and second to Mary Caltrider on June 17, 1850, both in Carroll Co. He is buried in Westminster Cem. His will leaves his estate to his brothers and sisters children. Thank you, Jacqui

For Pam, Sereck Shellcross Wilson 1903-1910, 1920-1935, came to Westminster from Philadelphia and worked for Joseph Krichton, under the name S. S. Wilson, according to Krichton's 1900 business ledger. In June 1903, Krichton sold his business to Wilson, who operated it until 1910. Several months aftertaking ownership, on Sept. 2, 1903, Wilson's studio was damiaged by fire that started in the finishing room. A town resident, Walter grimes, reported seeing flames in a second-story window about one hour after Wilson had left. The prompt alarm doubtlessly saved the city from disastrous conflagration. The greatest loss was a cabinet containing 20,000 negatives. There was no damoage to the post office on the first floor, although holes had to be cut in the first floor ceiling to let the water out. In 1910 Wilson sold the business to Russell V. Lewis. That year Wilson went to work as a photographer for Harris & Ewing, a prestigious studio in Washington D. C., where he photographed many Presidents and foreign dignitaries. In 1920, he returned to Westminster and repurchased the business from Lewis. He continued operating it until 1935, when he sold it to Ruskin B. Warren. His studio was located at 39 East Main Street, his residence was at 166 East Main Street. Abstracted from "Photographers & Photographs of Carroll County 1840-1940, by Bob Porterfield", 2004, page 59. S. S. Wilson is buried in the Westminster Cemetery. Born in Townsend, Delaware 21 Sept 1870 and died in Westminster on 24 Dec 1943. and his wife is Mary Weaver, born 18 March 1880, died 2 Nov 1971.

I came across the following funeral entry: "Tuesday, Jan. 16, 10:30 AM Christian Hunt, was born in Waldeck, Germany on June 7, 1831 and died near Manchester, MD, at 2 PM, Saturday, Jan. 13, 1912. Buried in the Manchester Lutheran Cemetery." I am not related to this individual/family, but thought this information worth passing along in case others were researching the Hunt family.

I have inadvertently acquired two copies of the 26-page booklet "The Zacharias Family - Emmitsburg Branch", dated 1970. If anyone is interested in my extra copy, I will sell if for what it cost me - $12.00 including postage. Vanessa

Could some kind person who has access to Ancestry do a census look-up for me? In some church record 1866 I found a Ernstena Koerner Three names down from my G-Grandfathers name She is not in his house in any of the census, she is not his wife or child. I was thinking she could be a sister who came from Germany. She must be listed in house of someone as house keeper or something It would be Carroll County Maryland or York County Pa. most likely Manheim TWP in York County. The page she is listed on, is names who took communion I found Koerner as Korner, Kerner, Kanner Would also like to find a Lizzie Kanner who married Reinhold Marshal may 23 1883 York County Pa I thank all for any help Nancy

Have you found anything yet on your Hiltebidle ancestor? I am working on a branch from Carroll County, MD and wonder if they could be related. Jacob and Rebecca Hiltebidle had numerous children and the names I have so far are David A (born ca 1819) Francina (born Feb 1821), Hiram S (born ca 1831) and Anna R (born 1839). I believe there were other children but don't know who they were. All I have on Jacob is that he was born ca 1790 in MD and that he died before the 1880 census.

Yes, this is the William Dorsey I've been looking for. I have Fannie Ebert Dorsey's obituary and the information there ties in with what you have given to me. In addition to daughter Frances, they had a daughter Imogene who graduated in 1893 from the Peabody Conservatory and later went on to be an instructor. Fannie Ebert Dorsey's father was a former mayor of Frederick, MD, and according to an article in a 1938 Frederick paper, he was detained by Union troops on their way through Frederick going toward Gettysburg. Her father was also a nephew of Barbara Fritchie and was called on to give testimony about Mrs. Fritchie's physical condition at the time she was supposed to have waved the flag in Stonewall Jackson's face. I have been trying to establish a connection between Captain Dorsey and Lt. Joshua Randolph Crown and I believe that Capt. Dorsey also served in the 35th VA Cavalry.
