I found this odd source of information on the Detrick family. I don't know if it will help anyone. http://www.detrick.army.mil/cutting_edge/chapter02.cfm *Frederick Louis Detrick* was born in Frederick, a descendant of Philip Dietrich, the first known member of the family in the county. Philip Dietrich was born March 30, 1776, parents unknown. He died January 15, 1851 and originally was buried in the church yard behind Evangelical Lutheran Church, across from Winchester Hall, Church St., Frederick. In 1906, his remains along with those of his wife, Catherine (born April 8, 1781; died May 1, 1851), were reburied at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Lot 160-C. Philip's son, John Henry Detrick (born January 25, 1806 in Frederick) married on October 8, 1825, Elizabeth Cronise (born February 23, 1807, in Frederick), daughter of John Jacob Cronise and Catherine Funderburg of Catoctin Furnace. Jacob and Catherine Cronise are buried in Pleasant Hill German Baptist Cemetery, Monrovia. John and Elizabeth's son, Louis Frederick Detrick, was born in 1831 in Frederick, the third generation in the county. He married Kate Umstead (born in 1839 in Green Tree, Montgomery County, Maryland; died July 8, 1898, in Baltimore), daughter of John and Ann (Brower) Umstead. John made his fortune manufacturing fertilizer and was based in Baltimore. John Umstead Detrick, the fourth generation, was born circa 1864, probably in Baltimore, died 1916. He and his wife Eliza Lillie Downey (born in New Market, daughter of William Downey) were married January 19, 1888 and had a son, Frederick Louis Detrick. Frederick was married to Marian Amelia Douglas, born 1897 in Philadelphia, died December 10, 1984 in Baltimore. She was a legal clerk for the judge of the circuit court of Baltim
