Don Don, That's the $64,000 question! Copyright 1977, second printing 1992, the book is a bit outdated. But the introduction reads: "Washington County, located in the Hagerstown Valley (south of the Cumberland Valley in Pennsylvania and north of Shenandoah Valley in Virginia), was the hub of migration for many early pioneers heading south to Virginia and Kentucky or west to Ohio and the plains states. This book was taken from the document titled "Index to Decedant Estates (1776-1890)," housed in the Clerk's Office of the courthouse in Hagerstown, Maryland. The original books containing wills are now located in the Hall of Records in Annapolis, Maryland. Copies of the originals are in the courthouse at Hagerstown and can be copied for 50 cents per page by writing to: Registrar of Wills Washington County Courthouse Hagerstown, MD 21740 Earlier supporting documents are in the Hall of Records in Annapolis and there are no copies available in Washington County.

Lauren and Beth, Fulton County (PA) Historical Society has a searchable database of known grave sites within the county at: http://www.fultonhistory.org/deceasedincemeteries.php This database includes the Tonoloway Baptist Church Cemetery which is just a few miles north of Hancock, Md. The search screen has deteriorated recently, and lost it's labels. Here are some hints in using the db. After you choose SEARCH, the input screen comes up with seven input boxes for the various columns of the db. The input box on the top line is for name. You can type in full name, last name, first name, a few letters of a name. The search engine will find whatever you type. The input box on the second line is for the burial place. Since many of the records in the database are from obituaries, (identified with an * after the name), there and be variations of the spelling of the cemetery. For Tonoloway Baptist Church, just type tono. You will get everyone buried there. The third box is for DOB or DOD. Since there is not consistency in the format, I usually only search for the year. The fourth box is for Spouse. Again, full name, last name only, first name only, be creative. The fifth box is for parents (looking for a maiden name?) and the sixth box is for military service. Be sure to tap the clear button at the bottom of the search screen, as the search engine sometimes retains inputted data. Also you can refine you search by putting search criteria in multiple fields. Want to see just the Stillwells buried in the Tonoloway Baptist Church Graveyard; put stil in the top (name) field and tono in the second (Cemetery) field. this will give you a list of all of the Stillwells buried at Tonoloway. One last trick for using the Fulton County Historical Society's grave site database. Searches are not always in alphabetical order. When you go the the opening screen with the 8 columns, click on the up arrow in the names column; this alphabetizes the column. This is needed because names are constantly being added to this database, and new addees go at the end of the file.
