Dear Norma, Linda & List, Barbara from Fauquier board sent me this record and I have a feeling this might be the same Walter Alexander McConchie that was named in the Chancery Record of 1810. What do you all think? I went to NC Archives today and found many familiar surnames from the Charles County Gentry book showing up in DC according to information in National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser Newspaper Abstracts. (There were notices of ladies having letters in the Washington City Post Ofc. July 1, 1812, etc. with names Mrs. A. Dent, Mrs. Harrison, Matilda Berry, to name a few.) Also, many military appointments made by The Pres of the US on Aug. 26 for the 1st Legion of the Militia of DC such as Capts. Rich'd Briscoe,...Sam'l Speake...) On page 79, National Intelligencer & Washington Advertiser Newspaper Abstracts 1811-1813: "Notice-persons having claims against the est. of Eleanor Speake, late of Wash. Co. DC ,dec'd; bring same by May 1 -Mary Brooke, extx." It just looks like some of these Maryland lines were in DC and I'm wondering if anyone has Mary Ellen Speake with a Maryland line? I thought this marriage record and Speake name might be a really good lead--I'm hopeful anyway. I should be getting the Chancery Record any day as it was mailed out on the 23rd. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions, Amanda Walter Alexander McConchie d. August 30, 1843 married December 31, 1829 Mary Ellen Speake Washington County, D.C.
