Donna, I am curious to know about the person who is interested in the Harr family of York Co., Pa. I am related to Eberhart (also known as Everhart and Everett) Harr. Some of his family came from York Co. He married Mary Magdalena (Martha) Coffman or Kaufmann. If you find out about a possible family for him, or if the person who is looking for that family would write to me, I would love to know who they are! Definitely must be a relative of mine. Judith R.

Here is why you can't always find the incoming ship that you are looking for. You will note that in the old days there always listed the last port of call, not the original port of embarkation. Most of these ships listed her made landfall in Nova Scotia or New England ports.

Big stink about salt ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan McIntyre To: glcrooks@bcpl.net Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 5:30 PM Subject: Robert Alexander - 1775 March 29, 1775 The Pennsylvania Gazette Extracts from the proceedings of the Committee of Observation at Baltimore, March 6, 1775. Present 42 Members. Captain William Moat, of the brig Sally, from Bristol, appeared and reported his cargoe on oath, consisting of 100 tons of British salt, and 24 indented servants. The Captain further reports, that he took in his salt before the 12th day of December, and on or about that day he fell down the river with his vessel to a place called Rowland Ferry, there to take in his servants; that he continued there until the 23d, and sailed from King Road the 24th of December. On Motion made by Doctor John Stevenson (to whom Capt. Moat vessel and cargoe were addressed) that he might have liberty, from the Committee, to land the said cargoe of salt, alledging it ought only to be considered as ballast, and was not intended to be prohibited by the Association of the Continental Congress. The Committee took into consideration the state of the said brig Sally, Capt. William Moat. - Resolved unanimously, That the salt imported in the said brig be not landed. Extracts from the proceedings of said Committee, at Baltimore, March 13, 1775. Present 48 Members. Capt. Henry Tickle, of the brig Henry and Joseph, from Liverpool (addressed to Mr. George Woolsey) appeared and reported on oath his cargoe, consisting of 5133 bushels of British salt, six half crates of earthen ware, and one hogshead of rum for ship stores; and further made oath, that he had not broken bulk, or landed any part of his cargoe since his arrival in this province. Capt. George Woolsey, the consignee of the aforesaid vessel, made oath, that he had not, nor hath any person, by his order or with his privity or consent, unladen or taken out any part of the cargoe imported in said vessel since her arrival. Ordered, That notice be given to Doctor John Stevenson, that the Committee request his attendance with Capt. William Moat, of the brig Sally, at 2 o, P. M. The Committee proceeded to consider the state of the Brig Henry and Joseph, and of the cargoe imported in the same, whereupon Resolved unanimously, That the said cargoe be not landed. Upon motion made by Captain Woolsey to the Committee, for leave to re-ship the cargoe of the brig Henry and Joseph, and on Captain Woolsey engaging, that the said cargoe shall not be landed in any part of North America between Nova Scotia and Georgia, and on his further engagement, that the master of the vessel in which the said cargoe is to be re-shipped, shall engage, on oath, that he will not (unless compelled so to do by stress of weather) land the same within the parts before limited, and he will produce a certificate from the place where the said cargoe shall be landed, of the landing of the same. Resolved, That leave be given agreeable to the above. Dr. John Stephenson, with Captain William Moat, attending, agreeable to notice, the Chairman acquainted them, that information was made to the Committee, that the cargoe of salt imported in the Brig Sally, or part thereof, had been unladen, contrary to the resolutions of the Committee, made the 6th instant. Dr. Stephenson declared, that apprehending the resolution entered into by the Committee, on the 6th instant, did not prohibit him from shipping the salt to any other part of this province, or Virginia, he had, in consequence of such opinion, shipped a quantity on board four Bay crafts, to be disposed of for his account; that no part of the said salt had been landed in Baltimore county; that he will deliver in to the Committee the names of the skippers of the several craft, and will return an account of the proceeds of the salt, and the same will freely give for the relief of the poor of Boston. And that the remainder of the salt now on board the said Brig shall not be landed in any part of America between Nova Scotia and Georgia. And Captain William Moat having declared, on oath, that the remainder of the salt now on board the said brig, shall not be landed within the limits aforesaid. Resolved by the Committee, That the said apology be accepted. Information being made to the Committee, that many misrepresentations of the proceedings of the Continental Congress had been made, with a view to lessen the influence which the association drawn, entered into, and recommended by them, justly merited, and had almost universally obtained. And it appearing to the Committee, that such misrepresentations are made by artful, designing and wicked men, to divide the people and defeat the measures wisely pursued for the preservation of American liberty. Resolved unanimously, That it is the duty of this Committee and every member thereof, and that we will, collectively and separately, persevere to carry strictly into execution the association of the Continental Congress, and enforce an observance of the same. And that any attempt to defeat such purpose, shall, with its author, be exposed to the public. The Congress, by the third article of the association, having recommended the disuse of all East India TEAS, the Committee request, that their constituents, in their several families, will strictly adhere to this resolution; and however difficult the disuse of any article which custom has rendered familiar (and to many almost necessary) may be, yet they are induced to hope the Ladies will chearfully acquiesce in this self-denial, and thereby evince to the world, a love to their friends, posterity and country. A very extraordinary arrangement having been lately made in the Magistracy of this county; the Committee reflecting on the conclusions which may probably be drawn from it in distant parts, to the disadvantage of the Gentlemen superceded, chearfully embrace the opportunity afforded by the present meeting, to testify in favour of their conduct while they were in office. From personal acquaintance we know them to have been irreproachable in private, faithful and impartial in public life, and deservedly intitled to the thanks of the whole county, for the conscientious discharge of the trust reposed in them. Resolved, therefore, unanimously, That this Committee ought, and we hereby do, in our own names, and in the names of our constituents, sincerely thank those worthy Gentlemen, whose abrupt dismission, with all the circumstances attending it, does them the greatest honour. They return to a private station with the general approbation of the country, and the pleasing satisfaction of having honourably acquitted themselves of their obligation, during their continuance in office. Their dismission is a real loss: It is the more to be regretted, as from the manner of it, we can hardly expect that any of equal worth and character will hereafter be prevailed on to undertake the troublesome, unprofitable employment, now rendered distasteful to men of independent spirit and firmness, and evidently exposing them to unmerited insult. A true Copy from the Minutes. Robert Alexander, Clk.

Hi Everyone, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to do look ups for the next 4 to 6 weeks. We are leaving, hopefully, on a 2 week trip to MD on April 16th. I need to get the camper ready to use and re-loaded after being in storage for the winter, and I need to finish getting reports together on my hsbs SMITH family and my SLIFER family. The purpose of our trip is to hit all the research libraries, cemeteries & etc. in Frederick and Washington Counties for these two families. I had plenty of time to get ready, UNTIL I received a notice from the County Clerk...I got summoned for Jury Duty on April 11!! Talk about perfect timing! We are taking the camper to the dealership on Sat. for some some warranty work and a recall notice. It will be up there all week - so that means the rest of this week is being spent getting it ready for the trip. Next week, I'm serving as an election judge during the primaries and, then, will be getting info & reports ready on the 2 families. I will finish the look ups that have already been requested. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience - but Jury Duty calls!! YUCK!! I will let everyone know when I can get back to look ups. Thanks & Happy Hunting! Donna Rae Smithdealer ship

Hello Donna, I was wondering if you might look up for me anything that might pertain to the following persons. Zachary Wade/ Mary Hatton Zachary died 25 May 1677 Port Tobacco, Charles Co. MD Capt. Robert Wade/ Elizabeth Sprigg Robert died 1714 Prince George Co. MD John Pottenger/ Mary Beall John died Apr 1735 Prince George CO MD They were my 6th and 7th Great-Grandfathers. I know that Zachary had several different properties that were located in maybe 3-4 counties of Maryland. As I'm quite sure that the Pottengers also had properties. These Wades were the ones connected to the Maryland Stones. Thanks, Brenda

Nicky, if you can get access to Vol. III (of 7) of the cemetery records you will find 12 cemeteries in the Cavetown District which are listed in the volume. Samuel Webster Piper read all of Washington County cemeteries with a completion date in the 1930's. Five of them are on farms and the rest are associated with churchs or towns. If you look through the publications you will note there are numerous unmarked graves and/or blank stones from weathering. My surname research group has witnessed a total erosion of some of our tombstones between 1986 and 2002 - so you are battling the elements when you are looking for old graves. You might be more successful in your search if you asked for lookups of a certain surname - the cemetery records are all indexed.

There is a Sgt. Lawrence EVERHART mentioned several times in "The Early History of Middletown, Maryland". There is a will in the year 1761 for Paul EVERHART in Baltimore County, Volume 31, Page 270, listed in the "Index of Maryland Colonial Wills 1634-1777". However, JAQUES is not mentioned in either book. Donna Rae Smith > I have request to make. I was wondering if someone would please lookup > information for me on the following family lines.

Hi Nicky, Beard's Graveyard, near St. Peter's Lutheran (Beard's) Church, is a Cavetown area cemetery dating back to 1830. It is in a rural location of the Smithsburg/Leitersburg area. Lesa Pfrommer (_Lesapfrommer@aol.com_ (mailto:Lesapfrommer@aol.com) ) has been a good source of information for me in the past on that cemetery. Another cemetery worth considering is Christ Reformed Church Cemetery, at Cavetown. I do not know exactly when it was started, but it dates back to 1830 or close to it. Smithsburg Cemetery, at Smithsburg, is yet another old cemetery of the area, but whether it goes back as far as 1830, I do not know. Good luck with your search. Bob

Speaking of the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Smithsburg, is that the one right on Main Street by the firehouse? If so, how can you get the records for that cemetery? Thanks. Sandy

Donna, thanks for looking for my Rupprechts/Rubecks. Joe in Idaho, the Gem State.
