I have spent the past 3 years looking for a link between my John Joseph Keedy and the Tennessee Lewis Keedys. I've finally found one. It's tenuous granted but I'm more convinced now than ever that I'm on the right track. In 1910 John Joseph's daughter Henrietta was living with her daughter, Mary (aka Minnie Rippy) in Osage County, MO. Henrietta was over 80 at the time. Mary (aka Minnie) tells the census taker that Henrietta's father was born in Tennessee! This is the ONLY census record that gives John Joseph Keedy's place of birth as Tennessee. Every other record lists him as having been born in MD. I know he was born in MD about 1784 but I have no evidence to back this up. Ludwig never left MD until about 1798. Ludwig was the only Keedy to have son born in that time frame. What matters to me is that his granddaughter thought he came from Tennessee which is where it appears John Joseph's father died. Bledsoe County records were destroyed by fire making a discovery of the link very difficult. Does it sound like I have made it? What else can I look for?

Lauren, Thank You for the lookups. Kinkerly is a spelling I have run across before so it may be useful. Will check further on that.

I will gladly drop the project I am working on to see what other listings I can find in several new reference books I have just received. Would you in return share what you have on your "Jacob Henry (Heinrich) Alexander (born between 1718-1720 in Frederick County, MD, married Maria)". It is a Henry/Henrich Alexander from that era that I am trying to document and am interested to learn what you have found. My line (so far) is John Alexander b. 1805 to Jacob & Elizabeth Alexander. Jacob Alexander was born abt. 1782 to Jacob Sr. & Mary Ann Alexander. Jacob Alexander (sr) was the son of Henry/Henrich Alexander born by 1720 (wife was likely Margaretha).

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1251; format=flowed MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There was a recent discussion on the Frederick Co. MD list regarding the accuracy of many of the published Historical & Biographical books. It was very wisely pointed out that the accuracy is occasionally based on "the point of view (and abilities) of the researcher" and "traditional factors" such as oral history of an area or family (not always verified by documentation). I personally am researching the Alexander family in Frederick Co. MD who one would assume were originally from the UK but beginning in the mid 1700's are found in the German Church Records. This leaves me wondering if they were originally German (immigrated from UK?) or perhaps on arrival in America they married into a German family and chose to follow the wife's religion. The church records show names appearing to be German but you have to realize that the person recording the information was influenced by their (and the churches) German background. So as the surnames in later records were changed to English spellings (Jung to Young, Mueller to Miller, etc) perhaps the names in earlier records were changed to the German spellings ((Henry to Henrich, George to Jorg, etc). That is just my confused view on the subject but I can recommend using any publication, oral history or online site ONLY as a guide to look for documentation. Good Luck in your research.

Sorry Lauren - The names Brantner & Arnsberger do not appear in the 2 publications that I mentioned in my last posting.

Hi Susan, My main surnames are BRANTNER and ARNSBERGER. The trade of cooper threads through Brantner descendants in MD, PA and WV and I suspect the emigrating ancestor from Germany who came into PA in 1750 was a cooper. I've read that Dulaney in developing Frederick made a concerted effort to bring in trades people to support the outlying farming areas so I am of course curious about who those 25 families were. I think most everyone on the list would be interested - there was a lot of intermarriage with the German families in Washington County.

Hi Lauren, I was very interested in the information contained in your posting. I tried searching a bit online but could not find those 25 signatures listed. I emailed the Maryland State Archives to see if they could offer additional details on what they show in "The Calvert Papers" reference to the Daniel Dulaney praise by the 25 Frederick Co. area residents. I will let you know what (if anything) I am able to learn. Meanwhile if you are interested in searching for early settlers of Frederick Co. MD (in general and in relation to land purchased from Dulaney) you might want to read through "New Facts and Old Families" by Millard Milburn Rice and "Inhabitants of Frederick Co. MD Vol. 2 1749-1800" by Stefanie R. Shaffer. Is there a specific name you are searching for?
