I just called the library and the very helpful assistant said that St John's Catholic is the one behind the library as the original St John's church was once located where the library is now, so hopefully they're right. I figured they would know since it's right behind them. The 1873 Atlas shows a Catholic Cemetery in that Main Street location though there is no name mentioned; apparently there was also a church school there in addition to the church. St. John's High School is on Monroe St. though, so maybe that's where the confusion lies. -Mary >Kathi Jones-Hudson >MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager >http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/maryland/maryland.html > > > >____________________________________________________________________________________ >Do you Yahoo!? >Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

    3. So, does this mean that the library cemetery is the original St. John's and whoever goes to take photos (I think maybe Margie) should go to the library cemetery? It's the original St. John's location? She or whoever can compare the St. John's cemetery 1889 transcription with stones and maybe make sure it's the correct one at least as of 1889. ' I've been there and it's nicely kept up and I hope the stones are still legible. Big question: when did they stop using it since the Thomas Herbert Shriver didn't die until 1916? Does the new St. John's church have a cemetery?

    3. If anyone wants to transcribe St. John's Catholic Cemetery -- especially with photos please get in touch with me. I'd love to add it to the MD Tombstone Transcription Project for Carroll Co. We have all the old transcriptions from the "The Democratic Advocate" dated back in 1889 or so and it would be great to update them (not just for St. John's but others as well) especially with photos. Contact me directly off list at mdcat.geo@yahoo.com or mdcemmy@yahoo.com if you are able and interested in doing tombstone transcriptions in Maryland. Thanks.

Ten cadets were killed in battle or died later from the effects of their wounds; 45 were wounded. The youngest participating cadet was fifteen; the oldest twenty-five. Could someone please find and photograph the tombstone of: Thomas Herbert Shriver, VMI class of 1867, St John's Catholic Church Cemetery This is ALL I know about him. If you could find some biographical information that would be wonderful! A group of Virginia Military Institute alumni are attempting to locate the graves of all of the cadets who fought in the Battle of New Market in the Civil War. They contacted me about my ancestor who was a cadet then, and I volunteered to help them get the other graves photographed, knowing we have so many wonderful people on Rootsweb. ;-) You can visit their web page at http://www.augustagavmiaa.info/new_market_database.htm Read about the battle at http://www.vmi.edu/archives/Civil_War/cwnm.html.

    1. [MDCARROL] Gorsuch in Read Family Bible
    2. date: 11/9/2006 from: Donna Mollaun <tmollaun@aol.com> On 11/9/2006, Sarah Fitzgerald wrote: <<<Here is what I submitted along with another lady on the Read Bible..................................................... NICHOLAS GORSUCH son of Elias and Ann Read his wife was born April 18 1830.......>>> I am interested in NICHOLAS GORSUCH. As I try to unravel the CRISWELL, LANE, DAVIS mystery, another NICHOLAS GORSUCH/GOSSAGE pops up in the area of Carroll county, MD that was once part of Baltimore county, MD. data #1: Nicholas GORSUCH married Susanna DAVIS 21 Sept 1803 Baltimore county, MD (yes, a different generation, but most likely the same family) data #2: Nicholas GORSUCH/GOSSAGE followed Richard CRISWELL to Brooke county, VA before 1810. data #3: Susanna GOSSAGE/GORSUCH testified in the RW pension petition as a witness to the service of Richard CRISWELL in the RW. She stated that he was an uncle by marriage. The pension petition took place in Brooke county, VA. data #4: A Nicholas HEADINGTON, Baptist minister, also testified at the pension petition of Richard CRISWELL. Nicholas HEADINGTON said that he knew Richard from Baltimore county, MD. Nicholas HEADINGTON also moved to Brooke county, VA from the same area previously inhabited by Richard. data #5: Richard CRISWELL testified that he served a 2nd tour in the RW as a substitute for his brother, ANDREW. Andrew could be a Criswell, Davis or other surname. It seems that the term "brother" was also used for "brother-in-law" back then - or so I'm told. date #6: Richard CRISWELL had a son, also a Richard CRISWELL. This son also moved to the same area of VA. The son, Richard CRISWELL, married Elizabeth LANE on 27 Oct 1897 Baltimore county, MD. I too have posted a family bible (with 2 other ladies) that starts with this Richard Criswell, the son. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvmarsha/criswellbible.htm Please contact me: tmollaun@aol.com Donna
