Thank you very much, Joan. Are you sure that the earliest Brethren settlement was established in 1751? According to our family historians, our Jacob and Catharine NEFF had moved to Frederick Co. to join the Brethren settlement there, but the date we have for their daughter, Esther NEFF's marriage in Monocacy, Frederick Co. was Nov.19, 1745. Do you know which Brethren settlement was in Monocacy? Is there an e-mail list for the Brethren settlements in Frederick Co? Thank you again.
