Happy Thanksgiving to All! On November 23, 1742, the Reverend Joseph Jennings became the first rector of All Saints Parish, which covered all of Western Maryland from Georgetown West through what is today Garrett County. At the time it was all part of Prince George's County. That changed in 1748 with the formation of Frederick County. On November 23, 1765, the 12 judges of the Frederick County Court resolved to reject The British Stamp Act, reaffirming their decision of the day before. This act is celebrated today as Repudiation Day. On November 23, 1880, a fire at the Frederick City Petroleum Works, on East Patrick Street near Water Street, resulted in the loss of "Romeo," the fire engine of The Independent Hose Company. It fell off a bridge into Carroll Creek. The engine was replaced by "Juliet" on March 18, 1881.

I have added a link in the Military section to the Soldiers and Sailors System which is connected to the National Park Service and where one can lookup their military ancestors. I also added the link to the old Maryland Prerogative Court wills abstracted by Carson Gibb (on the Archive site). The period ranges from 1743-1760. This is in the County Records section under the Will Abstracts. The Maryland State Archives has been experiencing quite a bit of downtime on their site lately. I am a little delayed in abstracting equity records right now, but have been working on another project. I originally was abstracting the very old Chancery Court Records which are only housed at the Archives and are loose papers in folders, some extremely fragile and falling apart, literally. I thought this was a project I would be able to complete in a few years; however, I haven't been able to pursue this for quite some time. I did obtain a copy of the index for Frederick, Carroll and Washington counties though before the Archives changed their system. Therefore, I have decided, to place these indexes on the site in perhaps assisting others to know what may be available there. I will add links to the abstracts I have already completed. So, I have finished Carroll and Washington counties. Look for it in the County Records section under the Chancery/Equity link. I will be working on Frederick county next and, since it is larger than both of the other two, it may be a while before it's finished. If anyone has any of these abstracts and they would like to add them to this site, please email me and I will add it giving credit to the submitter. Hope this is helpful. - Dorinda Shepley - Dorinda@MidMdRoots.com www.MidMdRoots.com
