Dorinda Chip has relative who is named Alvin Knott Dinsmore. His parents were William Alexander (b. 1801 d 1893) and Dorothy/Mary Dinsmore (b. 1822 d after 1880). The confusion of her name comes from the various census and no, it is not two wives. I have never found their marriage record though. I do believe it was in Maryland and not PA although I have no proof either way. Alvin is the oldest son and was born in 1846 in Maryland-Washington (most likely) or Frederick Counties. The Knott middle name has me wondering about a Knott family connection. William Alexander Dinsmore's middle name is his mother's maiden name. This must be a family tradition. While the will would not her father, one of the older children could be. Is there anyone doing Knott family research? Jane Thursby From England to Maryland by the early 1700's and still Maryland.

On June 7, 1727, Benjamin Tasker received a patent for 7,000 acres of land in Frederick County which he called Tasker's Chance. Frederick Town was later laid out on part of this tract. On June 7, 1815, Revolutionary War General Roger Nelson, severely wounded at The Battle of Camden, and father of future U. S. Attorney General John Nelson, died. He was a native of Frederick and was originally buried in All Saints Cemetery on East All Saints Street. His body was moved to Mt. Olivet Cemetery in 1913. On June 7, 1825, Richard Doddridge Blackmore, author of the historical novel Lorna Doone, was born at Longworth, Berkshire, England. Lady Ellen Thompson, who with her husband operated Glenellen Academy in Ijamsville from 1878 to 1888, claimed that she was the actual author of the novel. Blackmore died January 20, 1900. On June 7, 1967, a corporation headed by Frederick businessman Richard R. Kline purchased The Barbara Fritchie Home on West Patrick Street in Frederick with the intentions of restoring it and placing Fritchie memorabilia in it. This was not the original Fritchie home, but rather a replica built during the 1920s. The original home was demolished after a flood in 1868. On June 7, 1987, the monument to Francis Scott Key at Mt. Olivet Cemetery was rededicated after its restoration. If anyone can add information to these History Moments, or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day, please contact me privately.
