On May 24, 1768, the Reverend Thomas Bacon, who was the first to compile and publish the laws of Maryland from its beginnings until 1765, and who was rector of All Saints Parish from 1758 until his death, died in Frederick. He was buried in All Saints Cemetery on East All Saints Street next to the church. (Grace L. Tracey & John P. Dern, in their book "Pioneers of Old Monocacy," say Rev. Bacon died May 26, 1768.) On May 24, 1793, Bishop Thomas John Clagett, the first bishop consecrated in America, visited All Saints Parish in Frederick and confirmed a class of 10 people. On May 24, 1824, General Andrew Jackson of Tennessee passed through Frederick. On May 24, 1841, a robbery of the Frederick County Bank was discovered. It is considered the most bizarre in the county's history. On May 24, 1905, Claire McCardell, internationally known fashion designer, was born in Frederick.
