While on RootsWeb yesterday, I saw a notice that the server which handles their email and all the boards was down, and would probably be down for about two days. Susan

Cindy- The Washington County MD message board is right where it always has been since June 2001: << http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.stat es.maryland.counties.washington >> This board has never been "gatewayed" to this mailing list in view of the fact that both the list and board receive enough on their own. So it is important for Washington County researchers to check BOTH resources. Joan

Could someone with access to 1850 and 1860 Washington Co. census look for LETITIA SMITH? She was a widow in the 1840 census, living in Boonsboro, and had three daughters. I am looking for names of the three daughters. Thanks for your help.

To anyone looking for the YEAKLE or YEAKEL name, as I am, I have found them listed under Eakle, Yegley, and Jackel along with Yegly as you mentioned, Mike. Some of the family went from JACKEL to YEAKEL or YEAKLE or other such combinations. Spelling is optional in those days, and whatever sounded right, went!

Are there any baptism/christening records for churches in Clear Springs ? If such records exists, would be interested in knowing if there are any records for Brewers, that are from 1790 to 1830, parents would have been Daniel and Elizabeth and Jacob and Harriet ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Mike: Do you have "Yeakle" in the St John's book. My family lived in Hagerstown from 1770. Just curious if anyone is listed. Have never found the graves of those listed buried in the old cemetery--guess they were moved to Rose Hill, and not identified there. Thanks.

Mike, Would there be a baptismal record for Sarah Anne Davis abt 1810? Her parents were Joseph Davis and Maryann Ward Davis. We know Sarah married William Bateman at St. John's in 1825. Thought there might be a chance she was also baptized there. Thank you for any help.

I was wondering if any of you could check for a birth in the church records? I am looking for proof on a birth record to prove D. Amos Mackey parents. Census records, if it is him says 1877, death record says, 1881. I would love to be able to prove his parents. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Betty

Hi Joe -- I may have some information for you on your William Reynolds. If he is the one I think he is, he was a very significant player in the Lutheran Church in PA and OH during the mid-1800s. He was the first President of Capital University, a Lutheran school in Columbus, OH. He died 5 Sept 1876 in Oak Park, IL. Contact me privately if this is the right guy. I have quite a bit about him, including a photo. Susan Kundert Coshocton, OH
