Reference books for Frederick/Carroll/Baltimore-look ups done

by Gail Winstanley

Jul 9, 2009

Most of my families originate from this area in Maryland and I have acquired a nice collection of reference books. For Frederick County I have both volumes of The Diaries of Jacob Engelbrecht, The Jacob Engelbrecht Marriage and Death Ledgers, Frederick County Lutheran Marriages and Burials 1741-1811, Marriage License Index for Frederick County 1778-1810 and 1811-1840. For Carroll County I have Carroll County Cemeteries Volumes 1, 3 and 6 as well as the Carroll County Marriage Licenses 1837-1899 all published by the Carroll County Genealogy Society. For Baltimore I have the Mount Olivet Caretakers Records. I know that the Jacob Englebrecht diaries in particular are difficult to find anymore so I would be happy to check on names and do look ups for anybody interested in information for these areas

    Hi Gail, I have been looking for James Clare or Clair. His son was born in either Garrett or Fredrick county @ 1790. We (I am the third generation to butt up against this brick wall) can't find any information as to his parents. Do you see anyone of that last name. Many thanks in advance from all of us! Bridgid

      I am seeing information for Christopher Turnpaugh (Christoffell Dornbach) (abt 1735 - 1805) who owned land in what is now Hampstead, MD, was the overseer for the Carroll's plantation (The Caves) from about 1760 - 1801, and owned property in Baltimore Town abt 1797.  His wife was Anna Catharine (Catharina) with children, Catherine, Elizabeth, Mary, Phillip, George, Margaret, Simon, and John.  Catherine married William Adams, Elizabeth married Frederick Decker, Mary and Margaret married into Counselman/Counsilman, John married McCleasky and lived in Harford County, and Simon married three times and lived apparently in New Jersey before moving to Ohio.  I am the 3xgreat granddaughter of Simon Turnpaugh/Turnpaw.  I would greatly appreciate it if you could assist me in some lookups.  I reside in Carroll Island (Balto County) but do not have a car to get to the Carroll County resources.  Will be happy to do look ups, etc. for anyone at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore City.

        Gail, do you show reference(s) to the Counselman family in the Mount Olivet Caretaker's Records?  I believe Elizabeth Turnpaugh Counselman (Counsilman or Councilman) is interred there.
