Wow, thanks again for your continued support of St. Mary's heritage, Linda. I wish I had broadband at home so I could devote more time to volunteer for such transcription endeavors. As it is I have to snatch a few late night hours while on business travel to keep informed. I wish retirement didn't seem so far off either!

I had asked a little while ago about how adoptions were done.

I live on Beaver Dam Manor. It's a large section - in more modern terms from St. John's Road over to MD 235 - including Dorsey Park, most of "downtown" Hollywood north beyond the present Hollywood Firehouse to Clover Hill-McIntosh Road area. A good chunk of the modern Hollywood area on the west/south of MD 235 - Three Notch Road - towards Leonardtown. This does not go towards the Patuxent River, but in the other direction. It goes north from the present St. John's church/cemetery area. You might find St. John Francis Regis on Find-A-Grave and expand the google map out to see the area - go north from the church towards Oakville, but not that far. We have discussed this in the past - quite a while ago. The late Judith Burger was interested in this area. Judith's Drury ancestors lived somewhere near McIntosh Road & present 235 before they moved to Kentucky.

What is a drachum? In 1889 there was an outbreak of dysentery and typhoid fever in St. Mary's County. An excerpt from the St. Mary's Beacon dated September 5, 1889, mentions the troubles faced by the family of Abell Hammett: An Afflicted Family Seven deaths have occurred in Mr. Abell Hammett's family within six weeks. Dysentery and typhoid fever are diseases to be dreaded, and it appears that the medical skill of the doctors have availed little in accomplishing the desired effect. No doubt that their mental and physical capacities have been taxed to the utmost. Chills and fever are beginning to show what they can do. Vegetation is profuse, consequently the decomposition of the same produces a plentiful product of maisma. For the benefit of those who reside in the malarial districts the following recipe is given, which we assert to be beneficial, if the ingredients be carefully selected and prepared and the directions be faithfully followed: Peruvian bark and wild cherry bark, each two ounces; cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, each one drachum; wine or good rye whiskey, 2 quarts. Let stand a few days to extract the strength. Dose - A small wine glass every three hours. Try it ye afflicted and be benefited. John S Wilkinson Rome, NY

Dear List, I apologize if this message is a repeat. I tried to send it earlier and I don't think it got posted on the list. Does anyone have any information to show when Rachel Payne (d/o Thomas Payne and Jane Smallpiece) died? I know she was still alive in 1700 when the admin accts of her husband Arthur Kerse were administered. The Rachel Kerse mentioned there had to be Rachel Payne Kerse because the administrator, Issac Payne, was her brother. All possibilities welcome. Thanks to all in advance, Don Drury ******************************* Admin Accounts of Arthur Kerse (planter), SMC 9/11/1700, payments to Gilbert Turberville for Mr. Cheseldine and Rachel Kerse; Adminr: Issac Payne (Skinner) ********************************
