The Evening Star June 11, 1860 pg 3 In this city, on the 9th instant, after a short but painful illness, PEYTON WELLS, formerly of Fairfax county, Va., in the 45th year of his age. *********************************** The obit was very hard to read. I put how it "looks" to me. "this" is this city had the h missing but a space was there for it. The 4 in 45 was half gone, but looks enough like a 4 to feel confident that is what it said. You might consider ordering this obit thru inter-library loan and viewing. Thanks Bill for the date. He didn't show up in the search engine.

Thank you very much Bill, I sure will check that out, it is certainly in the realm of possibility, but if you add my luck factor it doesn't have much of a chance. :-( Evans William Boswell wrote: >There's a Peyton Wells who was buried at Congressional Cemetery on June 10, >1860 in Range 25, Site 175.

Hi Everyone I wanted to make an announcement, and ask for information. I am presently writing a book about Fort Lincoln, and wish to ask all for any unique stories about events that you know of that occurred there over the years. Fort Lincoln property is situated along-side of the N. E. border of Washington, D.C., for about 2 1/2 miles. The property is actually in Prince George's County, Maryland{Bladensburg/Colmar Manor}, However the actual {Civil War} ' FORT ' was just inside the district line on the property which is now Fort Lincoln New Town {previously, the site of the National Training {Reform} School. It should also be noted that many written historic references made, declare Fort Lincoln as part of DC. For this reason, I'm sending this announcement to this list. Many years ago, there were hundreds of weddings held in the Little Church, in Fort Lincoln. Perhaps some of you might know of someone who was married or Christened there. Many well-known and beloved folks are buried there. To name a few: Clark & Calvin Griffith {Washington Senators fame}. Parents of long-time DC resident Kate Smith {famed singer of "God Bless America"}. Bishop Walter McCullough, Reverend Peter Marshal {US Senate Chaplain, also conducted Easter Sunrise Services at Fort Lincoln during the late 1940's which drew crowds of over 75,000. Movie and book about him entitled: "A Man Named Peter"}. I am a present, and long-time member of the P.G. Genealogical Society and P.G. historical Society, and am writing this book as a labor of love, and to fill the current historical void about Fort Lincoln. I am NOT affiliated with either the present cemetery owners or their management! There are several past {and now deceased} local historians that would have wanted to see this book become a reality. Some of you know them by their last names: Briscoe, DeMarr, Wilfong, and many others. If anyone has newspaper articles, photos, personal histories, or passed-down stories, please feel free to write to me. Also, please feel free to contact me if you simply have questions about this project. Thanks in advance for your questions, comments, support. Bill Wood

There's a Peyton Wells who was buried at Congressional Cemetery on June 10, 1860 in Range 25, Site 175. Congressional's website, www.congressionalcemetery.org might have an obituary.

Hi, My family research has taken my across the pond to the US and I am looking for a bit of assistance. I am trying to locate information regarding Carlos P FURMINGER b. 1901 From the Social Security Death Index on Ancestry I found the following: Carlos P. Furminger Born 13 Jun 1901 Died 16 Oct 1990 Washington, District Of Columbia, District of Columbia My assumption is this that he is the son of Harry S Furminger b. 1868 England, emigrated to West Springfield, Hampden, Massachusetts in 1878 (according to the 1900 US Census - but this date must be wrong as he was working in England upto his early twenties). Harry's fathers name was Carlos. For some reason he is not on the 1900 Census, so either his dob is wrong or he was born outside US !!
