Surnames: Grove, Streit Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FEC.2ACE/965.1 Message Board Post: Mary Elizabeth Grove (1826-1828) was a daughter of Abraham and Sidney (Wright) Grove. She was buried next to her parents in the Heironimus cemetery at Whitacre, Frederick County, VA. See the Chapter 23 "Untangling the Grove Roots and Family Branches in Back Creek Valley," in my book Frederick County, Virginia: Settlement and First Families of Back Creek Valley, 1730-1830. The artist for the frakturs done for the Grove and other families (Hott, Streit, Marple, et al) is unknown. He is called the unknown artist by fraktur researchers. A dentist in Winchester (his name escapes me just now) is writing a book on frakturs, which includes all of those known to be done by "The Unknown Artist." I might add that these frakturs are highly prized, the originals bringing $10,000 each. I possess one original of my 2-freatgrandmother Margaret Streit, which I will not sell. Wilmer L. Kerns
