Bob, The "Estate document" that Lauren mentioned is an inventory listing for Barton and is very short. There was no Will listed. Henry also filed an administrator's account in 1830, again short and not very informative. All of these can be found on line at www.familysearch.org . I also checked Washington County land records and found nothing for Barton or Thomas. There are a few Watt(s) in the Washington Co. Cemetery Records, but none for Barton or Thomas.

Has anyone done any research on the Barton Watts who came from St. Mary’s Co., MD to Washington Co.? He died sometime before 1828 in Washington Co. I believe he’s the same Barton Watts who married Susannah Goodson in 1798. I’d like to know who his children were.

Washington County, Maryland, sent the pioneer Brethren to the "Rock River," or "Maryland Settlement," as it was called at the first Among the first, with some others, to come in 1836-38, were Samuel M. Hitt, whose wife Barbara, was a member of the Brethren church, John Friedly, who purchased the Governor Ford cabin and claim for one thousand dollars, Daniel Wolf, Solomon Nalley. Early in the 'forties came Benjamin Swingley, William Young, Daniel, Samuel, Jacob and John Price, Jacob Buck, Isaac Hershey, Daniel Zellers, Daniel Moats, Daniel Long, John Stover and Jacob Long. Nearly all of these were heads of families and brought their children with them. They settled in the vicinities of Mount Morris, Maryland and what is now known as the Pine Creek Church. In 1845-47 several families of the Brethren located at Franklin Grove, Lee County, Illinois. Prominent among these were Joseph Emmert, Christian Lahman, Daniel and Joshua Wingert, Levi Riddlesparger, Levi Trostle, the Dierdorfs and others. In 1845 they organized the Rock River Church with a membership of thirteen. The newly organized church embraced all the territory in Lee and Ogle Counties. Joseph Emmert was chosen as Bishop and the little band prospered and grew. The Rock River Church now numbers over 250 and has sent out hundreds of members to help populate the great West. Bishop Emmert at once started the pro- ject of building a house of worship. Solicitors were appointed, an effort to raise the money was made and $140 secured. When the solicitors reported to the Bishop he said, "Give me the subscription paper." It was handed to him and putting it into his pocket said, "The house shall be built." He at once let the contract for the building and when it was completed at a cost of $700, promptly paid the bill. Much of the labor for the building was donated. The house has always been known as the "Emmert Meeting House." It is located four miles west of Franklin Grove. In 1868 the National Annual Conference of the Brethren church was held at the "Emmert Meeting House." In 1846 the Brethren in Ogle County determined to organize a church and erect a house of worship. Jacob Long was Bishop in charge and the meeting house was built near what is now known as Maryland station. Samuel Garber succeeded Jacob Long in the bishopric.

In 1857 the Pine Creek Church was organized followed in 1868 by Silver Creek, Mount Morris, and, in 1905, by the church in Polo. At the present time the five organizations named have the following membership: Rock River, 260; West Branch, 100 ; Pine Creek, 125 ; Mount Morris, 350 ; Polo, 70, making a total of 905. Of course these figures do not include all those received into church fellowship. Several thousand have gone out to swell the number who have taken an active and prominent part in settling the territory west of the Mississippi River. If a reunion of all these could be held in Ogle County now, there would be a great mul- titude assembled to recount their struggles, temporarily and spiritually, in building up the Western Empire. The Beethben Publishing House. — In 1880 M. M. Eshleman, who had been publishing "The Brethren at Work," a religions paper of the Dunker denomination at Lanark, Illinois, moved the plant to Mount Morris. This, in 1884, was purchased by Elders E. L. Miller and Joseph Amick, of that denomination, who consolidated it with "The Primitive Christian," of Huntingdon, Pa., and changed the name to the "Gospel Messenger." A large and thriving business was established, and a number of church papers, books and tracts were published. In 1896 the business was taken over by the Brethren Church and it has since been known as the Brethren Publishing House. In September, 1899, the plant was moved to Elgin, Illinois. At that time the circulation of the "Gospel Messenger" was about twenty thousand, and the sum of the year's busi- ness approximated $125,000. Among those connected with the success of the work in Mount Morris were Galen B. Royer, Elder J. H. Moore, Elder D. L. Miller, Elder Joseph Amick, L. A. Plate, S. M. Eshleman. A prosperous business has continued to be carried on by the Publishing House in its present location. The Old People's Home. — The Old People's Home of the Brethren Church is supported by the District of Northern Illinois. Elders Joseph Amick, Edmund Forney and Melchior Newcomer were appointed by this division of the church, a committee to incorporate and found a home for aged members of the church and orphans. Mount Morris was selected for the location of this home, and a tract of land containing about thirteen acres, in the southwestern part of the village, was purchased for this purpose. Upon this ground a brick building was at once erected at a cost of $10,000, to which an addition has since been built costing $1,500. The funds for the institution were donated by the different churches in the district. An endowment fund for its maintenance was created by Jacob Petrie, of Polo, who bequeathed his estate to the Church for this purpose. Other bequests and sums have been added to this original amount of $18,000, till at the present time the endowment fund amounts to $22,900, and the addition of a valuable farm of 250 acres near Pontiac, 111., recently bequeathed for this purpose. The building is so arranged that about thirty people can be comfortably taken care of in the home. Ornamental trees and shrubs have been planted around the dwelling, flowers are cultivated during the growing time of the year, and the land has been set out largely with fruit-bearing trees and small fruits, making a very attractive and restful place in which to spend the declining years of life. Mr. Levi Kerns first had charge of this institution, and was succeeded by the present Superin- tendent, Mr. Lewis Miller.

Gordon, even though Ken lives in Greencastle, his brother, Jim, is the 8th generation of Jacob Shockey's descendants living on the farm he received from his father at Ringgold, MD. Christopher Shockey sold his son Jacob two tracts of land of the Third Resurvey of Sarahs Delight, containing 200 acres more or less, with buildings and improvements. Jacob Shockey had the deed recorded on Oct. 6, 1769. The Third Resurvey of Sarahs Delight owned by Christopher Shockey consisted of 1820 acres was mostly in Maryland. However when Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon visited Christopher house while conducting their survey, they found his house to lay seven chains north of the survey line.

Lauren: There are quit a few Stoners in Cedar hill Cemetery, Greencastle, Pa. and they are to be found in scattered cemeteries also in Franklin County. Not sure of this but I think they were Old Order River Brethren from Germany. There are two such congreations Shank's Church outside of Greencastle and the other ine is in Upton, about 12 miles away. They are very similar to German Baptists in practice. I have a few in my line.

A couple of land descriptions are also there. If I recall correctly Stoner's are mainly Church of the Brethren and there is a Stoner historian who used to monitor this list who wrote a Stoner history. It has been a long time since I worked on Stoners - unfortunately the one who married into my husband's family did not show up in the history. I am hoping he still does and you will get some info from him. I am thinking his name is Richard but I could be wrong - you know how oldtimer's disease treats your mind.

Hi all I have been reading this thread and while I don't have any specific knowledge of your names or rattlesnake springs, I have done ALOT of research I Indian springs and big pool and clear spring in Washington county Maryland. My husbands line is there as far back as I can trace. I have gone back to a birth around 1759 and can't find anything further back than that...but have a lot of info on the area as most of the family still lives there. If there is anything I can help with in that area please let me know and I will try.

Mike: The Stoner family was huge and in both md. and Pa., in Greencastle there must be 20 some burials and they are also in other cemeteries, The Shockey's and Barkdoll's that I know both dead and living along are all in Franklin CVo., Pa. across the border from Washington County, Md., considering the short distance of less than 10 miles I would assume all were related.

SusiCP, Do you have a copy of Edward Nichols will? The farm of John and his brother William was inherited from the father. Let me know, if not I'll send it along. I do not have any problem with shearing information. The case often is being able to bring all that information together. I would except any information that you may have that would assist me. Please check at Find A Grave and do a general search of William Nichols. He is listed as burial location unknown, the information that I have is inclosed.

Gordon Some of my research includes the early Stoner family of what is now Waynesboro, at the time Cumberland County. Sections of the Waynesboro area before the Mason-Dixon Line, the land transactions were recorded in Maryland. The land as far down as Fairfield also recorded in Maryland and some of which was recorded before Frederick County, MD was established. I think the farm of Edward Nichols and later his sons John and William Nichols ran from near Amsterdam to nearly Ringgold to the edge of Blue Mountain. The deed of Edward would pre date the Harbaugh, Zentmyers, Shockey, Hoover and Barkdoll holdings of this area. If I remember correctly deeded 1739. I was saying about the East Branch of the Antietam. The reference is the East Branch of the "Little Antietam". I take that to mean it flows into the East Branch. The location of the Harbaugh farm makes reference to a tract of land called "Sarah's Delight" situated on Cow Run (an affluent of the Antietam) This branch leaves the Blue Mountain at Glen Aften Springs at Pen-Mar Park. I think Glen Aften Springs is Rattlesnake Springs. I will need to look over my oldest research material. The land of John and William Nichols was inherited from his father Edward. While I am related to the Nichols family my research on the location of the estate has been limited. Thats something about Robert Crook.

As I understand, Dr. Hively is mapping Franklin Co. PA. Remembering that they cross claimed land, I suspect that he will show something of this when completed. Maryland and Pennsylvania could not agree on boundaries . Dr Hively's books on land are excellent I have used them for other counties he has done with major success. I also have his maps.

Mike: This is getting interesting, first of all I know living Shockey's several of them in fact and last but not least is Robert Crooks who was my 5th removed grandfather and a lawyer which is probably why his name is on the document. All of the Shockey's that I know are in Pennsylvania. I also see your mention of the East branch of Antietam Creek and that is located at the eastern outskirts of Waynesboro. I also have Heck's in my line, but not this family who were there early on, mine didn't come until the mid 1800's. i also recognize some of the other names.
