Have you tried the Maryland State Archives online?

I recently requested a search of birth records for my ggrandfather John Stewart. What I got back may or may not be his birth record. If anyone else has a Black Infant Male Stewart born January 9, 1875 in Baltimore City this may be helpful to you. Parents are Elizabeth and Loyd Stewart (father was born in Alabama).

I am looking for information on the following Rawlings: Anthony Rawlings ( ?-1709?) Richard Rawlings (1651-1696) John Rawlings ( 1690-1727) Francis Rawlings (1720-1794) Greenbury Rawlings (1760-1815) I would be interested in hearing from anyone with information on the early Rawlings. I am descended from Greenbury and would like to obtain more information on him and his decendents in Cecil County. Thomas Carroll Rawlings

Desperately seeking "Moravian Families of Graceham Maryland 1759-1871", 1988 edition, in either book or CD form. Can anyone help me? --- Nancy Capps --- [email protected] --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

I have an Ambrose A. White living at 90 Mulberry Street in 1867-1868 in Baltimore. Ambrose and his wife Mary had 9 children (SARAH, GEORGE CARRELL, FRANCIS CLOPPER, ANN LOUISA, JOHN CHARLES, THOMAS HURLEY, AMBROSE MICHAEL, JOSEPH AUGUSTUS, EDWARD HURLEY, MARY ROSE and HARRY WHITE). I believe all were born in Baltimore in the mid 1800s.

I am searching for parents and siblings of my ggg grandmother, Anne (Nancy) CARROLL, born about 1794, in Surrattsville, Prince Georges Co., Maryland. Her husband was Clement Hill BROOKE (born 1777 in Prince Georges Co., to Nicholas BROOKE and his wife Margaret HILL , and died in 1854). Nancy died in July 23, 1879, in Silver Hill, Maryland. Both she and her husband, Clement Hill BROOKE , are buried in St. Ignatius Catholic Cemetery in Oxon Hill, Prince Georges Co., Maryland. I have tried writing to St. Ignatius for burial records, and also for any other records they may have on the family. Underneath Nancy's name on some handwritten notes of my grandmother, the abbreviation (Alex.) is penciled in. I have since found that St. Ignatius was a mission of St. Mary's church in Alexandria, Va. I have also contacted St. Mary's for info, but have received no response. Does anyone know if records for the above churches are available? Does anyone have Nancy and Clement in their data base? Thanks for any assistance given. Ann Chandler in Oregon

Hi Shirley, It depends somewhat on what type of document that is being considered. These terms are most often found in the estate inventories, where the inventory was approved by the "next of kin," (NOK) or "kin." Law dictionaries usually define "next of kin" as "the closest relative" or "a relative entitled to the estate of a deceased person." In the real world, for signing MD inventories, I would define it as the "closest relative of adult age available and handy to sign the inventory," not necessarily the "closest relative" and certainly not necessarily a person entitiled to a share of the estate. In practical terms, I find perhaps some of the more common NOK on inventories were either brothers, sisters, or brothers-in-law of the deceased. Keep in mind the different types of brothers-in-law. If the deceased was a male, the brother-in-law may have been a brother of the widow, [thus blood related to the deceased's children]; or the husband of a sister to the widow [thus no blood relation to the deceased or his children]. I would think parents of the deceased and adult children of the deceased were the second most common NOK. Next are more distant NOK: nephew, uncle, cousin, spouses of the same and maybe even more distant "relation." It would be nice if there were some hard and fast rule as to who the NOK were on signing inventories. Unfortunately, in the real world of MD probate there wasn't, and only seldomly is the relation given on the inventory. Now, if you find the term used in relation to a probate, where someone inherited from an intestate estate, you are talking of a more legal description. There were legal statutes regarding who would inherit. For a better discussion of laws regarding descent see: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/html/inherit.html Rick Saunders http://genealogypro.com/fsaunders.html http://pweb.netcom.com/~fzsaund/0.html

I have found these terms defined on the internet from various law dictionaries and other dictionaries. Can anyone explain their meaning as applying to Colonial Maryland Wills, Probates, etc. Thanks for your help, Shirley

To All, Can anyone out there help me with this man. On a his son, Francis O. Hunter, census listing for 1880 it is stated that his father was born in LA. Francis himself was born in Cecil Co., MD. The 1880 census says that his mother, Amelia (Owens) Hunter was born in MD. No dates are known about John and Amelia just that they were married on Oct. 30, 1841 in Elkton, MD. There is a good chance that they are buried in Hopewell Cemetery, Cecil Co., MD There is a family legend that John was a doctor and captured by the Indians. He had TB and the Indians tried to cure him by digging a hole and covering him up all but his head with dirt. They built a fire on top of him. The doctor is supposed to have written a book of Indian remedies. He was adopted by the tribe. His wife , an Indian girl, remarried a Mr. Jackson and they had seven girls. Amelia had one son, Francis Hunter, and then remarried a Phillip Jackson in 1848 in Cecil Co., MD. Everything seems to fit so far except to find out if John Hunter was a doctor and if Amelia is American Indian. If anyone could shed some light on this John for me that would be very helpful. Thank you, EM
