Hi Patsy, As long as you are going in that direction, go to Middletown, Md. where the Stottlemyer family really started out in Md. At the time they went there, it was still Frederick Co. In 1760 David Stottlemyer, bought land from a man whose last name was Fink. I don't know if Leah Spade of Smithsburg is still alive, but she kept records in her home of many of the first settlers to that section of Md. I am a direct decendent of Old David Stottlemyer. My line is Old David, Devault, Devault, Robert Fulton Stottlemyer, Lavina Virginia, Amanda Valetta Wilkinson Doyle, John Andrew Doyle and me Rosalie (Doyle) Siri. Glad to have you join us.
