I would like to be in touch with you to exchange information. I haven't worked on the Family Tree for awhile, but I would like to get back to it. My grandmother was Carrie (Gatton) Adams.

Does anyone know who this couple is: John R. Clarke m. Lucinda Bolen 14 April 1814 in Harrison Co, KY?? Trying to figure out if they are part of the MD to KY migration and who the parents are.

Can anyone point me in the direction of John Clarke's will? He was married to Dorothy Cissell. The family lived in Ridge where my great grandmother was born and grew up. I continue to research this family and the family story that John Clarke was related to the Lee Family through Alice Lee Clarke (Phillip Lee's Line) continues to be a puzzle to prove. I know that there marriage date was October 16, 1813 but don't know there ages? Thanks....Therese **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.

"DOLLARHIDE'S GENEALOGY RULES," by William Dollarhide Bill Dollarhide has prepared the following 45 amusing pointers for genealogy researchers. While each aphorism is intended to produce a chuckle or two, each contains an important element of genealogical truth as well. Consider #17: "Finding the place where a person lived may lead to finding that person's arrest record." The point of #17 is that researchers must keep an open mind. No one knows what is around the next bend in one's ancestral road. We will refer to these "Rules" from time to time in later issues of "Genealogy Pointers." For now, enjoy them and take them to heart. 1. Treat the brothers and sisters of your ancestor as equals, even if some of them were in jail. 2. Death certificates are rarely filled in by the person who died. 3. When visiting a funeral home, wear old clothes, no make-up, and look like you have about a week to live. The funeral director will give you anything you ask for if he thinks you may be a customer soon. 4. The cemetery where your ancestor was buried does not have perpetual care, has no office, is accessible only by a muddy road, has snakes, tall grass, and lots of bugs--and many of the old gravestones are in broken pieces, stacked in a corner under a pile of dirt. 5. A Social Security form SS-5 is better than a birth certificate because few people had anything to do with the information on their own birth certificate. 6. The application for a death certificate you want insists that you provide the maiden name of the deceased's mother, which is exactly what you don't know and is the reason you are trying to get the death certificate in the first place. 7. If you call Social Security and ask where to write for a birth certificate, tell them it is for yourself. They won't help you if you say you want one for your great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather who died in 1642. 8. When you contact your home state's vital statistics office and ask if they are "online" and they respond, "on what?" you may have a problem. 9. An 1850 census record showing all 12 children in a family proves only that your ancestors did not believe in birth control. 10. Work from the known to the unknown. In other words, just because your name is Washington doesn't mean you are related to George. 11. With any luck, some of the people in your family could read and write--and may have left something written about themselves. 12. It ain't history until it's written down. (See #19.) 13. A genealogist needs to be a detective. Just gimme da facts, Ma'am. 14. Always interview brothers and sisters together in the same room. Since they can't agree on anything about the family tree, it makes for great fun to see who throws the first punch. 15. The genealogy book you just found out about went out of print last week. 16. A good genealogical event is learning that your parents really were married. 17. Finding the place where a person lived may lead to finding that person's arrest record. 18. It's really quite simple: first, you start with yourself, then your parents, then your grandparents. Then you QUIT--and start teaching classes in genealogy. 19. If it's not written down, it ain't history yet. (See #12.) 20. In spite of MTV, computer games, or skate boards, there is always a chance that your grandchildren will learn how to read someday. 21. "To understand the living, you have to commune with the dead, but don't commune with the dead so long that you forget that you are living!" (From "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt.) 22. It is a known fact that St. Peter checks all your Family Group Sheets for accuracy before you are allowed to enter the Pearly Gates. 23. Locating the county where your ancestor lived is the first step in finding records about the time he was hauled into court for shooting his neighbor's dog, threatening the census taker with a shotgun, or making illegal corn whiskey behind the barn. 24. A cousin, once removed, may not return. 25. When going to another town for genealogical research, you will always find information on the ancestor for whom you brought no notes. 26. When in a courthouse miles from home, you will always find the breakthrough court record at 4:55pm on Friday afternoon. 27. Research in one county that leads you to information in another county will only be revealed on the last day of your vacation. 28. The tombstone you want to find is always located in the extreme opposite corner of the cemetery from where you started your search. 29. The page on the census where your ancestor's town was enumerated has no page number. 30. That cemetery in Missouri where your great-grandparents were buried is now called Interstate 70. 31. The 1892 newspaper article describing your ancestor as a child winning the grade school spelling bee will misspell her name. 32. Your ancestor will be featured in the county history because he was the first prisoner in the new jail. 33. Your ancestor moved frequently and sold all of his property to his children before he died to avoid probate. 34. The query you found in an old magazine was placed by an unknown cousin--who died two years ago. 35. The courthouse containing the information crucial to your research is always closed for renovation on the day you arrive. 36. The roll of microfilm you need for county research is the only roll in the drawer that was sent out for repair earlier that day. 37. The post office shown on the census page where your ancestors are listed is for a town that does not appear on any known map ever published. 38. The oldest living person in the county has never heard of your ancestor, who lived there years ago. 39. Genealogy is the examination of the maximum amount of data in the maximum amount of time for a minimum result. 40. If you find a query in an old periodical giving two related names for which you are searching, it will be a query that you placed yourself four years ago and forgot about. 41. You always receive more e-mail about your ancestors the day before you are scheduled to go on vacation. 42. If you took Family Group Sheets to the last wedding you attended, you probably are an addicted genealogist. 43. If you can remember your ancestors' marriage dates but not your own, you probably are an addicted genealogist. 44. Genealogy is an addiction with no cure and for which no 12-step program is available. 45. I'm crazy about genealogy, but not necessarily yours.

My deceased father-in-law, Charles William QUADE, had relatives from St. Mary's county.  I am just starting to do a little research into his side of the family.  What cemetery(ies) would his relatives be buried in down there? His mother was Vera Rose (or Rose Vera) QUADE (1901-1969) and her father was Charles Francis QUADE (1860-1921).   Bill

Thanks, David. For your background on these two sources, it is always helpful to know the inside scoop. I tended to trust the science or trained historian vs. the story "handed down", but feel sure all of these have some validity, it's just hard to tell which one! Does the state have a more recent survey that would include some of these newer findings? Do you know anything about one of the sites listed as Abell's Wharf and where it was and how it came to be known that?

Kat & the List: Foreman is the great archaeologist of the 1930s. He did much of the early work at St. Mary's City.

List- I have found two books that have catalogued MD homes and historic sites with brief descriptions and locations. I would guess they would be somewhat of an authority as opposed to genealogical sources? There are pictures, sometimes of interior features. Foreman, H. Chandlee. Early Manor Plantation Houses of Maryland. Bodine & Associates, Inc. Baltimore. 1934, 1982. ( I don't have the page with St. Richard's copied) Inventory of Historic Sites in Calvert County Charles County and St. Mary's County. Maryland Historical Trust. Annapolis, Maryland. 1973, 1980. p114. St. Richards (pictured) is listed as early 18th century due to brick laid in "Flemish bond...The north facade is five bays in length with the existing windows being a slight alteration of the originals both in height and width, the south facade is three bays wide. One of the most distinctive exterior features of the house is the glazed cheering of the end elevations... mur10195@aol.com wrote: Davd, thank you again!? I was able to access information on St. Richard's that I'd not been able to access previously.? This was very helpful.

I'm taking the liberty of posting part of his/her e-mail to the list. I had asked if he/she could do it; since I can't ask directly, I'll just post because I think this answer is VERY important. It should help any of us on the list searching for historical sites in Maryland - statewide, not just in St. Mary's. > The nomination reports are available on the MD Historical Trust web site - > > http://www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net/mihp-search.html Here is what this person had to say about St. Richard's. It seems to indicate that St. Richard's MIGHT BE a bit older than the "early 18th century" date listed in the Maryland Historical Trust's book. "Early 18th century" is a somewhat vague time period ... but all dating of these early buildings are really vague UNLESS you get into this question posed by the writer >>> especially any dendrochronology studies? <<<<<< Any comments ??
