    2. Alice Eary

    3. Can anyone tell me how to change the color of a selection within a picture? I can select it with the magic wand, but do not know how to get it to change the color. I use both Microsoft Picture It and Adobe Photoshop. Saw it done once in Adobe, but can't remember how. Appreciate any help you might be able to give me. Alice

    1. Re: [MDGARRET] Custer-Durst-Garlitz info.

    3. In a message dated 9/9/2006 6:16:02 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: This Custer information is as difficult as my Hederiches. Each child born is named after a grandfather or father. I found several John Custers. I tried to list the lineage from Hoye's book in an attempt to follow the lineage a little easier. May be a good tool to compare to other resources to sort things out more clearly. Per Hoye's book: 1687 Paul Kuster I & his wife, Gertrude (Streypers) Kuster, a native of Kaldenkirchen in the Rheinland emigrated from Crefeld, Germany nad settled at Germantown, PA. Their Children: 1. Arnold 2. Hermanus (1675-1760) m. Isabella Conrad in 1706. 2.1 Paul II (b. in Montgomery County, PA abt 1710; died in Mont. Cty 11/10/1783) m. Sarrah Martha Ball (d. 12/10/1779), dau of John Ball. She was, it is said, a sister of Joseph Ball, maternal grandfather of George Washington. Their children: 2.1.1 John 2.1.2 Johnathan 2.1.3 Paul (b. abt 1736) 2.1.4 Nicholas 2.1.5 Emanuel I. (b. abt 1754; 1854) m. Mary Fadley--later however land records refer to his wife Ann. Brown's book states that Emanuel I and John came from their native County, Frederick, VA. John settled at Cresaptown, Allegany County, and Emanuel went to Somerset Co, PA, later settling in what is now Garrett Co., MD. 1795 Emanuel I came to Allegany County, MD 1798 Emanuel Custard was assessed in the Sandy Creek and Glades district 1800 Emanuel Custin was listed in Sandy Creek Hundred as head of a family of nine with five slaves. 1803 Emanuel Custer was deeded for lots 13 and 62 in Cresapsburgh (now Cresaptown) 1804 Emanuel was deeded "the frame house of which formerly belonged to Jacob Enlow." 1804-12 Emanuel "Custard" was assessed with his lots in Cresaptown, but a note added "to J. Custard--1803." Therefore it was concluded that Emanuel resided in PA, having turned over his property in MD to his son, John. 1809-1823 Emanuel Custer, Senior, purchased several lots on Mount Nebo from Thomas Thompson, Jacob Miller and wife, Ann, of Somerset County, and Jacob Yeast and wife Sarah. 2.1.5.1 Emanuel II (1779, VA; d. 6/1829, Mt. Nebo) m. Catherine Ringer. - Received part of the Mt. Nebo property and later to grandson Samuel. The old Custer homestead now belongs to a g-g grandson of Emanuel I, Floyd Durst. Had nine children: 2.1.5.1.1 Adam (1803) 2.1.5.1.2 Jacob (1805-1828) Died of sunstroke 2.1.5.1.3 Daniel (1807-1832) Crushed in sleigh accident 2.1.5.1.4 John (1808-1865) m. Mary Durst (3/24/1817-1/23/1862)--confirmed in Ross Durst book along with their children: Catherine Ann (Stark), Lydia (Stark), Michael, Wm. Henry, John, Rebecca (Twigg), Sarah Jane, Ann, Mary (Warnick) (Ross Durst had Ann Mary as one individual), Emanuel, Augustus P. (all Garrett County residents). 2.1.5.1.5 David (1811-1872) m. Margaret Stark (1808-1889). Lived on Manadier Ridge, south of Grantsville on part of "Lilly of the Valley, 296 acres, which Henry Manadier of Annapolis deeded in 1834 to Catherine Custer. Children: Susannah (m. G.W. Potter; 2nd Lorren Morrell); Isabella m. Daniel Switzer; Emanuel III (1839-1906); Mary Jane m. Peter P. Lohr; Parvis m. Mandana Magruder; Maria m. Daniel Brenneman; Sampson m. Minerva Dewitt. Emanuel III was a large scale farmer near Hoyes, MD. He m. (1) Rebecca Friend, (2) Mary Virginia Dewitt, (3) Margaret Sisler and (4) Elma Cuppett. Emanuel III served in Co. "D", 3d MD Regiment during the Civil War. He secured leave to visit his home, naming the boy for his father and his general--David Sheridan Custer. This war baby was a prominent merchant of Friendsville for a number of years 2.1.5.1.6 Samuel (1813-1887) m. Lydia Durst. They resided on the Custer homestead (Mt. Nebo). Children: James L. m. Kathryn Durst; Richard, Georgia Ann m. William Durst; Singleton, Alice and Hampton died of scarlet fever in 1863; Frank H.; Ellen Jane m. Horace Warnick; Sidney m. J. L. Durst; Lilly C. m. Ed Humberson; Linnie E. m. Joel Kinsinger. Mt. Nebo was surveyed for James Brooks April 15, 1774. It is now divided up into a dozen farms lying three miles south of Grantsville on Mt. Nebo--not so high as its neighbor, Mt. Airy, but a place of beautiful prospects and views. 2.1.5.1.7 Peter (1815-1854) Unmarried 2.1.5.1.8 Catherine (1819-1850) Unmarried 2.1.5.1.9 Jeremiah (1824-1850) Unmarried 2.1.5.2 John (b. 1782, VA; d. 1830--see 2.1.1 & 2.1.5 above) He married a Garlitz. This John was the grandfather of General George A. Custer through John and Ann's son Emanuel (below). John was a blacksmith and hotel keeper. Children: Ann (b. 1804); Emanuel Henry (b. 12/10/1806); Mary (b 1811); George (b. 1815)--went West; James (b. 1817), settled in WV; Alexander (b. 1819), settled in WV; and Ellen (b. 1825). Emanuel Henry (b. 1806) learned his father's trade of blacksmith, but at 19 left Allegany County for the West and settled in Harrison County, OH (near the PA/OH border). Emanuel married twice. His second wife was Mrs. Maria (Ward) Kirkpatrick. Their children (all born in New Rumley, OH) were: George (b. 1839; d. 6/25/1876 at the battle of the Little Big Horn in the Dakota territory by the Indians under Sitting Bull); Armstrong; Nevin J., Thomas W.; and Margaret E. (Calhoun). 2.1.5.3 Jacob 2.1.5.4 Susan 2.1.5.5 Mary 2.1.5.6 Charlotte 2.1.5.7 Peter 2.1.5.8 ? 2.1.5.9 ? 2.2 John 2.3 Peter 2.4 Gertrude 2.5 Margaret 2.6 Magdalena 2.7 Rebecca. 3. Johannes (John) 4. Eliza **** Wasn't the John Custer, who died in 1830, Cresaptown, Md., recorded with a wife named Catherine Valentine? No, so far as my resources say. No reference to a Valentine in any of my material. I am mixed up on this data since I have read several versions. One record says he was married to a Garlitz daughter. If I understand this correctly it means that John Custer & __ Garlitz were the parents of Emanuel Custer, born 1806, and he ( Emanuel) was the father of Gen.George A. Custer so the Garlitz daughter (name not given) would have been Gen.George A. Custer's grandmother and thus Garret Co., Md. has a big connection with the famous man. Yes. But I also have read Brown's Misc. Writings, pg.196, that states that Elizabeth Durst, daughter of Casper Durst, married to Christian Garlitz and that one of these sisters married John Custer of Cresaptown, Md. who was the grandfather Gen.George A. Custer. The Garlitz Family (from Hoye's) Christian Garlitz I (Moved from Montgomery Cty, MD to what is now Greenville twp, Somerset County, PA. Three sons were Christian, John, and Henry. A daughter m. John Custer of Cresaptown, MD (grandparents of Gen. Geo. A. Custer. But no name of that daughter is listed. Christian Garlitz II (1777-1845) m. Elizabeth, dau of Casper Durst. In 1800 he was located in MD on what later becme the Samuel Brown farm north of the Little Crossings. Their children: Henry, Jonas, Jacob (b. 1805), Basil Tomlinson, Margaret (m. Yeast), and two other daughters. Per the Bittinger Book . . . Children of Casper Durst and first wife, Anna Elizabeth: 1. John "Lightfoot" Durst (1767-1839-40) m. Eva Margaret Glotfelty (b. 4/12/1769) 2. Henry Durst (b. abt 1769) m. Barbara Garlitz (b. abt 1762) 3. Jacob Durst (b. in 1774) m. Mary "Polly" Knoyer (b. abt 1789) 4. Susanna Durst (b. abt 1776) 5. Elizabeth "Betsy" Durst (m 1780-1863 m. Christian "Christly" Garlitz (b. abt 1777; d. in 1845). SE of Grantsville. 6. & 7. children born prior to 1785 Now Elizabeth had only one sister, Susanna, both girls were baptized on the same day in 1789 in Somerset Co., Pa. I do not have info. on Susanna and what happened to her. I have no death date for the wife of John Custer , who died 1830, Md. and some records say that Catherine Valentine died in 1877, that is 47 years after him. Did John Custer married first to a Durst or Garlitz girl and then second to a much younger Valentine girl? Did not run across anything that indicated John Custer had married twice; however Emanuel was married to someone before he married Gen Custer's mother. His second wife was Mrs. Maria (Ward) Kirkpatrick. Jacob Brown visited with Emanuel Custer, the father of Gen.Custer, after the terrible deaths in Emanuel's family so I think Brown would have had first hand information on this family. Now the Emanuel Custer (brother to John) who was born in 1779, died 1829 Allegany Co., Md. and had several children married to Durst children. 2.1.5.1 Emanuel II (1779, VA; d. 6/1829, Mt. Nebo) m. Catherine Ringer. - Received part of the Mt. Nebo property and later to grandson Samuel. The old Custer homestead now belongs to a g-g grandson of Emanuel I, Floyd Durst. Had nine children: 2.1.5.1.4 John (1808-1865) m. Mary Durst (3/24/1817-1/23/1862)--confirmed in Ross Durst book along with their children: ... Did not see any other marriages to Dursts in this information. That is my interest in the Custer family, they are not a direct line for me but I am curious about the different wives given to John Custer, mentioned above. I do not have a Custer Book that has been previously mentioned.

    3. In Photoshop after selecting the area you want to change, go to Layer, New Adjustment Layer, Hue/Saturation. Or you can add a new, blank layer behind the background, fill it with the color you want your selection to be select color as the type of layer, adjust the fill and opacity to get the amount and saturation of color you want. You can get some cool effects using a gradient color. I am assuming you have full-fledged Photoshop (not Elements or something like that) and have an understanding of working with layers. After color change is made, flatten image. Just fill the selection with color straight on will give you a strange look to the selection - not a natural look.

    3. I think it's because you have an "L" in the address. I think when they went to the new system, they removed the "L". I really don't think it has anything to do with AOL. Hope this helps. Faye [email protected] EarthLink Revolves Around You.

I have had no trouble in the past, so am mystified by this, especially since I have no trouble receiving and reading.

    1. Re: [MDGARRET] Melungeon

    3. I know a fellow from Greenup County, KY, who is Melungeon. Met another who worked at Western Kentucky Unviersity who was a Black Melungeon. They used to have annual reunions in Wise, WV. A professor at a university there seemed to be the guiding force. Now you have everything I remember!

    1. Re: [MDGARRET] Melungeon

    3. I know a fellow from Greenup County, KY, who is Melungeon. Met another who worked at Western Kentucky Unviersity who was a Black Melungeon. They used to have annual reunions in Wise, WV. A professor at a university there seemed to be the guiding force. Now you have everything I remember!

    1. [MDGARRET] STARK family

    3. Does your research include anything about a Henry Stark and family? I believe Henry Stark resided in Addison, Md. He married Clara Snyder of Eckhart Mines,Allegany Co., MD. If you are connected to this family, I can provide additional information and dates. Phyllis

    3. Lois, I found him in Eckserdorf (south west of Bayreuth) I had looked for a ship passenger list several times. But I was using the soundex. I finally looked at ALL of the list for Baltimore in 1854 - BINGO! We really weren't sure what year he came but had narrowed it down to 1854. Let me know how you're doing with your research.

    1. Re: [MDGARRET] Custer-Durst-Garlitz info.
    2. Pat Thompson

    3. This is not my direct line but according to Franklin Bishop in his book "The Custer and Related Families of Allegany and Garrett Counties, Maryland" pg. 10 John Custer 1782-PA - 1830 Cresaptown MD, married Catherine Valentine (not other marriage listed) and they are the parents of Emanuel Henry 1806 MD-1892MI. Emanuel Henry and his second wife, Maria Ward Kirkpatrick, are the parents of George Armstrong Custer 1839 OH - 1876 Montana. Emanuel Henry Custer's 1st wife was Matilda P. Viers (according to Bishop). -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 9:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MDGARRET] Custer-Durst-Garlitz info. Wasn't the John Custer, who died in 1830, Cresaptown, Md., recorded with a wife named Catherine Valentine? I am mixed up on this data since I have read several versions. One record says he was married to a Garlitz daughter. If I understand this correctly it means that John Custer & __ Garlitz were the parents of Emanuel Custer, born 1806, and he ( Emanuel) was the father of Gen.George A. Custer so the Garlitz daughter (name not given) would have been Gen.George A. Custer's grandmother and thus Garret Co., Md. has a big connection with the famous man. But I also have read Brown's Misc. Writings, pg.196, that states that Elizabeth Durst, daughter of Casper Durst, married to Christian Garlitz and that one of these sisters married John Custer of Cresaptown, Md. who was the grandfather Gen.George A. Custer. Now Elizabeth had only one sister, Susanna, both girls were baptized on the same day in 1789 in Somerset Co., Pa. I do not have info. on Susanna and what happened to her. I have no death date for the wife of John Custer , who died 1830, Md. and some records say that Catherine Valentine died in 1877, that is 47 years after him. Did John Custer married first to a Durst or Garlitz girl and then second to a much younger Valentine girl? Jacob Brown visited with Emanuel Custer, the father of Gen.Custer, after the terrible deaths in Emanuel's family so I think Brown would have had first hand information on this family. Now the Emanuel Custer (brother to John) who was born in 1779, died 1829 Allegany Co., Md. and had several children married to Durst children. That is my interest in the Custer family, they are not a direct line for me but I am curious about the different wives given to John Custer, mentioned above. I do not have a Custer Book that has been previously mentioned. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
