    1. [WashDC] Tenleytown, Tenally's Tavern & Washington, D.C. History Network
    2. geniesearch

    3. You will find Tenleytown at Washington, D.C. History and Life http://www.h-net.org/~dclist/ (great website!!!) While you are there please check out (click on) the DC timeline found in the red block on the left-hand side of the home page. I found it fascinating. click on DC Neighborhoods found in the red block on the left-hand side of the home page. http://www.h-net.org/~dclist/masternbh2.html There you will find Neighborhoods of Washington, D.C. (and respective Neighborhood Clusters) and if you click on it <http://www.h-net.org/~dclist/Neighbor2t.html> you can see Tenleytown is in cluster 11. If you then go back one click you can click on maps and then click on cluster 11 which will give you a visual idea of where Tenleytown is today. My understanding is Tenleytown was named for the Tenally Tavern, operated by the family Tenally (various spellings). I believe the tavern was there more then a hundred years before the circle. Wisconsin Avenue was the dirt toll road from Frederick to Georgetown. I believe the tavern was a favorite stopping place for refreshment. I am not certain if the coaches stopped there on a regular basis. If memory serves me the only other "roads" on old plat maps were Murdock Mill Road which was a big irregular loop from down west to Murdock's mill which was located near Delcarlia Blvd near the present Sibley Hospital up east to past the present Wisconsin Ave; Belt Road, Grant Road, Loughborough/Loughboro Road and the present River Road. All these roads are still around to a greater or lesser extant, today. To me, the ironic part about Tenally's Tavern was that Mary Tenally donated the land for St. Ann's Catholic Church. Not too long after that the tavern was put out of business under the law that said that a tavern couldn't operate within a certain distant of a church. An unintended consequence? Or just an example of "no good deed goes unpunished"? The first church north of Georgetown was what was pre civil war church, Zion/Eldbrooke Methodist Church 4100 River Rd., Wash. DC at the junction of River Road and Wisconsin Ave., NW, DC now closed and slated for sale. Sad, sad, sad, so much history is lost. See Judith Beck Helm's book "Tenleytown" - great book!! (Available at various local libraries including: Martin Luther King(MLK)/Washingtonia Room; I believe Library of Congress (LOC) and Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) library and it was available at DC branch library - Tenleytown before they closed it. Also available for purchase at Politics and Prose An independent bookstore in Washington, DC since 1984 <http://www.politics-prose.com/> email books@politics-prose.com, 5015 Connecticut Avenue NW Washington, DC 20008, 1-800-722-0790 202-364-1919 202-966-7532 (Fax) I have no connection to this book, author and/or this book store. I am only providing this information as a possible assist to researchers of Tenleytown. Also there is a Tenleytown Historical Society - http://www.tenleytownhistoricalsociety.org/THS/index.php Hope some of this is helpful to somebody. Deborah In response to snip >>>> > 4.

    1. [WashDC] Georgetown Fire

    3. Just heard on the local five o'clock Fox5 news that the fire was centered over the Peabody Room which houses historical documents and paintings. They rescued some of the collection, but there was speculation as to where the money would be found to pay for restoration. The announcer also mentioned that windows were being replaced at the time the fire started. Didn't say if there was any connection between the two. They did say that arson investigators were on the scene. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

    3. Remember back in 2002, someone was setting fires in the DC and across the line in PG County. They set fires on the porches and doors of homes so people would have trouble getting out. I moved to Minnesota in 03, did they ever catch them.

    3. It was centered on Tenley Circle? Or Tenley Circle was named for Tenleytown? There are Queens and then there are Queens. I have a Queen line that showed up in North Carolina after about the Revolution. I was on the Queen list for a while about four or five years ago and we had some fun debating whether or not we were related to the Maryland/DC/Kentucky Queens -- and never really got anywhere. Having read about the Melungeons since then -- there have been some excellent books about them published in the past ten years -- I've come to the conclusion that we North Carolina Queens are descended from a Melungeon (white/American Indian) group in rural Maryland/New Jersey. (There are quite a few of these mysterious rural groups in the eastern U.S., especially in the South.) Wayne Winkler does a good job, in his book, discussing many of these groups. (I don't own a copy -- yet.)

    3. We've got classic weather for fires -- warm and windy. This is the type of weather that spreads any sort of spark or fire, whether a dropped cigarette, a small fire to burn trash [I'm old enough to remember those.] or arson. Very alarming and very sad. I used to go to the Georgetown branch of the library when I lived in DC nearly 30 years ago. (This was before I found out how to really "do" genealogy.) I "found" Eastern Market weekend before last at the end of a very long and very exhausting Saturday and was planning to go this coming weekend....
