On August 9, 1813, the first issue of The Examiner was published by Major Samuel Barnes. It lasted more than 100 years. On August 9, 1898, the Francis Scott Key monument was dedicated at Mr. Olivet Cemetery in Frederick. (This event was supposed to coincide with the anniversary of the birth of Key, who, at this point in time, was thought to have been August 9, 1780. Years later, Judge Edward S. Delaplaine discovered a baptismal record at the Evangelical Reformed Church in Frederick which indicated that Key was actually born on August 1, 1779. The error occurred in 1866 when Key's body was returned to his native Frederick County from the Baltimore cemetery where it had been interred in 1843. His son-in-law "remembered" at that time the erroneous birth date.) On August 9, 1948, the Francis Scott Key monument was re-dedicated at Mt. Olivet Cemetery and an FSK postage stamp was issued.

I need to take a break for awhile from the Equity records. Will do more abstracting in a month or two after I catchup on some other things I need to do. I have finished the index for the Washington County Marriage Licenses for the years 1861 thru 1864 though. Previously, I only had a partial listing. You can view it thru the County Records link of the MidMdRoots website. (Frederick County's haven't been completed yet, only started; but, we'll get there eventually.) Hope it cools down a little so you can enjoy the remainder of the summer. - Dorinda Shepley - Dorinda@MidMdRoots.com www.MidMdRoots.com

On August 8, 1859, an iron dog at 22 South Market Street in Frederick was first observed at the John H. Williams home. This item comes from the Jacob Engelbrecht diaries. However the dog was there prior to Engelbrecht's mention. On August 8, 1921, Daniel Baker, who with his brothers Joseph Dill Baker and William G. Baker, founded The Buckingham School at Buckeystown in 1899, died at his Baltimore home. He was born March 23, 1858, in Buckeystown.

Does the FHC in the area have good Maryland records? Does anyone know if they have immigration records for Philly or Maryland prior to the 1780s? What about church records of the area? Thank you. Rebecca

On August 7, 1828, the cornerstone was laid for the first St. John's Literary Institute in Frederick. On August 7, 1890, Daniel T. Lakin, who served as secretary and treasurer of the Frederick County Board of School Commissioners, and as superintendent of the Monocacy Division of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, died at his West Church Street home in Frederick. He was 48 and was initially buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. On August 7, 1934, The Walkersville Bank was incorporated, and opened for business. Walkersville had been without a bank since September 2, 1931, when The Central Trust Company of Frederick went bankrupt. On August 7, 1934, Judge Glenn H. Worthington, who served 17 years on the Frederick County Circuit Court bench, and who wrote a definitive history of The Battle of Monocacy, died. He was born April 22, 1858.

There is a book called "The German Regiment of Maryland and Pennsylvania" by Henry J. Retzer. It contains two refences to Adam spelled Mushler and Mussler. He enlisted 30 April, 1778 for three years as a substitute in Baltzells company wounded 1780 and in Sudbury, Pa General hospital. Transferred to 5th company of 3rd Maryland Regiment to 1782. the German Regiment was German speaking elistees, under the leadership of bilingual officers. They were at many battles and Valley Forge Later in the War they were folded into the regular troops of the "Maryland Line". Adam applied for a pension from Fayette Co, Pa in 1820 and paid from l8l8 on. His age in 1835 is given as 86. Adam is not in 1790 or l800 census of Frederic county. If you think Adam himself is the emigrant, he would probably be in the naturalization records. but he could also be second or third generation. Check both Md and Pa. Check the Frederick county Historical Society for any of these sources. Anne W.

You are AMAZING! I do want to be sure I come to the right place in Maryland, so maybe someone can help me with this dilemma. The ancestor I'm attempting to track down is Adam Mushler/Muschler who was a private on the Maryland line. His revolutionary service was for three years with the German Battalion under Col. Weather, Captain Maltzell and three years with the 3rd Maryland Regiment. Adam was at the battle of Monmouth, the taking of Lord Cornwallis, and was wounded near the Susquehanna River. Adam's second enlistment was in the Livitt Sears Company, 2nd Maryland Regiment for three years and was discharged at Fort Pitt. What does "the Maryland line" mean? Does the historical society/ibrary in Frederick have info about the Rev. war and immigration records, hopefully prior to the 1780s?? Thank you again! The listers on this list are amazing! I feel welcome in Frederick county before having arrived.
