Tonoloway Primitive Baptist Church, is actually located in Fulton County, PA., close to the Maryland border, which is probably why you're not finding it listed in the Church Records of Maryland.

There are 7 grooms with the surname GRAVES: Joseph, Augustus, Silas, George, John T., Denton T. and Chas. E. [Too many court house fires destroyed earlier records] When I checked the Graves burials in the Hancock District [Morrow & Morrow Vol. II Washington County Cemetery Records], there are some in the Presbyterian Church Graveyard on High Street [Hancock]. In the Tonoloway Baptist Church Graveyard there are these entries: Four Stillwell graves followed by: GRAVES, Joseph Sr. age 67y 7m, d 7 June 1831 GRAVES, Elizabeth, w/o Joseph GRAVES Sr. age 48y d 15 May 1826 I checked Kanely's Directory of Maryland Church Records and didn't find any information on Tonoloway Baptist Church. I didn't find anything in Passano's Source Records of Maryland in the church section. The book that was suggested might be your best bet. I don't know if there is a Baptist Church Archives - that might be worth looking for. Sometimes records went from defunct churches back to their archives. Let me know if you want more of the entries on Stillwell or any of the Graves entries from the marriage index. [There are 3 Stillwell grooms also.] Lauren Brantner --- On Mon, 7/7/08, Beth <[email protected]> wrote: From: Beth <[email protected]> Subject: [MDWashin] MARRIAGE IN HANCOCK To: "Washington Co. Maryland List" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, July 7, 2008, 12:46 AM Hello, I am new to the list. I am looking for a marriage of Joseph Graves and Elizabeth Stillwell that was said to have occurred in Hancock in 1798. Who can tell me what church records there might be for Hancock in 1798? They later were in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Thanks for any help you can give.
