PRESIDENT’S NOTE
A Happy New Year to each of you. I hope each of you, and yours, have enjoyed a safe and very enjoyable holiday season. This early in the year, most of your New Year’s resolutions should still be possibilities.
Your newsletter editor thought it appropriate that the first newsletter of the year carry something of a message from your newly elected president. She refrained from giving me any specific instructions so I’m left to hope and trust that what follows comes at least close to what she had in mind.
I’ll start by saying I consider it a real privilege to be asked to serve as the president of FRECOGS. (They all say something like that-don’t they?) More seriously, I accept the task fully appreciating that there are others who could bring much more to the organization’s presidency in the way of expertise in genealogical research and/or organizational leadership, but who for reasons of their own choose not to be active participating members of our society or to serve the group as an officer.
Similarly, I accept the position with that humility which realizes that an organization accomplishes, under any leadership, only as much as the organization’s membership is willing to support and work at. I am convinced that the operative phrase is “an organization (not the leader) accomplishes”.
Further, I am one of those who believes that each of us has the opportunity and the moral responsibility to do whatever is within his/her power to serve others and thereby make life, in at least some small way, more pleasant/enjoyable/meaningful for others. I think the members of our group, individually and collectively, have a great opportunity to serve individual citizens and the community at large in many ways while at the same time enhancing our skills and knowledge in the pursuit of our personal genealogical goals. It has always been my experience while serving other organizations in similar capacities that as I went about the business of serving others I have increased my own knowledge of the business being pursued while at the same time enjoying the warm satisfaction that comes from having served others. The living process somehow p insures-whether you seek it or not-the receiving is much greater than the giving.
I have a number of my own ideas as to how we might go about the business of helping ourselves while serving others through our society. However, I believe that an organization’s leadership has an obligation/responsibility to help the organization do what the organization’s membership wants to do rather than what the leader would like to do. To my way of thinking, your individual and collective interests should govern what we say and do. My personal interests and concerns should no more govern our direction than those interests and concerns of any other single member. With that thought in mind, I invite you to tell me what this organization should be.
I’ll be asking the society officers to meet with me in the near future to lay some groundwork and plans for the operation of our society in the coming months. I invite you to contact me (301) 662-2621 or any of the other officers to share your ideas with a view to having those wishes brought to our planning meeting.
So much for that.
Again, I wish for you and yours, as well as our society, a happy and prosperous new year.
Together-and only together-we can make it happen.
EDITOR’S NOTE
Several years ago FRECOGs had Ronald BREMER as a speaker. Among other things, he is editor of Genealogy Digest. I was going through some files and found my notes on records references he discussed. He broke sources into 2 groups-Bad and Good. The Bad list first: family tradition, printed family history, DAR lineage books, census, tombstone, death certificate, obituaries, general reference works, family groups sheets, and Adamic lineages.
I can hear you mumbling, “What else is there?” The good list: Judicial court records, property transfer records, probate records, qualified vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce, sexton records, adoption, founding, orphan court, and bastardy bonds), church records-denominational yearbooks, fraternal societies-Mason, alliances-as in immigrant, life insurance companies, military-adjunct general office and militia lists, and stories in newspapers-but not obituaries.
Woe to you who use poor references-document your sources.
Those who recently joined or renewed will notice at the end of their membership printout is now a listing of those societies and exchange bulletins which receive a copy of our newsletter. If you know of any other group(s) interested in exchanging please let me know. ALL copies of correspondence are kept in the library.

HISTORIC PLACES OF THE CIVIL WAR in Frederick Co, MD (from Maryland Remembers; a guide to historic places and people of the Civil War in Maryland, published 1961 by the Maryland Civil War Centennial Commission.
Battle of Monocacy, US 240 (now 270) east of Frederick. Along the east bank of the Monocacy Union Forces under Maj Gen Lew WALLACE on 9 Jul 1864 delayed briefly the Confederate force under Lieut Gen Jubal A EARLY making a thrust in the direction of Baltimore and Washington, DC. Successful after a brief struggle, EARLY noted among his foes elements of RICKETT’s division of the Sixth Corps, veterans recently sent by GRANT from Virginia. Their presence argued strongly that EARLY would find more veterans in the Washington forts a few days later and that Early would have to return to Virginia without any great success.
Confederate and Union wounded were taken to ‘Arcadia’ and the MARKELL estate, respectively. These properties may be seen today in the possession of descendants of Dr MCKINNEY, a Federal surgeon on the battlefield and Mr C Lease BUSSARD, respectively.
Battle of South Mountain-Crampton’s Gap, MD 572 joining 17 and MD 67. Following orders of Maj Gen George B MCCLELLAN to force Crampton’s Gap and seize Rohrersville beyond South Mountain, Maj Gen William B FRANKLIN moved the Sixth Corps from Buckeystown through Jefferson to Burkittsville at the base of South Mountain 14 Sept 1862. Here he found his way disputed by Col T T MUNFORD’s 2nd Virginia cavalry and inadequate infantry support. About 3pm the Sixth corps attacked in force. Yielding one position after another as they retreated to the crest, the Confederates were pressed on both flanks and driven in front. In a few hours they were
in retreat and Gen FRANKLIN in control of Crampton’s Gap was in an excellent position to strike at Confederate Gen MCLAWS on Maryland Heights or to move northwardly to join HOOKER and BURNSIDE at the moment forcing their way through Turner’s Gap.
5 markers erected by the US Government at the top of the Gap and 4 lower on the eastern face of the mountain tell the story in more detail.
Battle of South Mountain-Turner’s Gap, US 40A, 13 miles w of Frederick. 10 Sept 1862, Gen Thomas J JACKSON left Frederick and crossed South Mountain by Turner’s Gap in course of his march to encircle and capture the United States force at Harper’s Ferry.
13 Sept 1862, Gen George B MCCLELLAN hoping to catch a divided Confederate Army between South Mountain and the Potomac River ordered the major part of his force to cross South Mountain by Turner’s Gap. Confederate Gen D H HILL was posted at Turner’s Gap and Fox’s Gap a mile to the south. 14 Sept 1862, Generals Jesse L RENO and Joseph HOOKER threw their forces against the Confederates on the mountain, HOOKER with the First Corps north of US 40A and Reno with the Ninth Corps extending southwardly across the old Sharpsburg road as it climbs the slope to Fox’s Gap. By night the Union troops had gained such success on the flanks as to compel withdrawal by the Confederates. Gen Lee ordered concentration behind Antietam Creek.
Death of Gen Jesse L RENO, Old Sharpsburg Road, 12 1/2 miles w of Frederick. Here 14 Sept 1862, in the course of the Battle of South Mountain the Ninth Corps commanded by Maj Gen Jesse L RENO fought for possession on the ridges on either side of Fox’s Gap. The Union left secured control of the ridge to the south of the road. The Union right was short of complete success. About sundown Gen Reno was killed as he moved to an exposed position the better to direct his force.
Emmitsburg, Junction US 15 and MD 97. The Eleventh Corps, Maj Gen O O HOWARD, Army of the Potomac, camped about Emmitsburg 30 June 1863. The next day it marched to Gettysburg.
1 July 1983, the Third Corps, Maj Gen Daniel E SICKLES, Army of the Potomac, marched through Emmitsburg toward Gettysburg.
Kemp Hall 1861-1961, Frederick, se corner of Church and Market Streets. In the year 1861 the legislature of Maryland, called into extraordinary session by Governor Thomas Holliday HICKS, held sessions in the building owned by the Evangelical Reformed Church.
After convening ion the court house on April 26, the Senators and Delegates assembled here on April 27, the senators on the second floor and the delegates on the third floor.
A peace and safety bill was referred to a joint committee and reported favorably, but after an amendment the bill was recommitted. The legislature adjourned in September without passage of the bill because a lack of a quorum due to the arrest of a number of senators and delegates by Federal order, and Maryland never seceded from the Union.
The statements above are quoted from a plaque dedicated 15 Feb 1961 in course of the Maryland Centennial Commemorative program. This day the Maryland legislature formally returned to Frederick to enjoy and take part in the commemorative exercises rather than to argue questions of secession
Headquarters of Lee, Jackson and Longstreet, MD 240(270) e of Frederick. `Headquarters of Generals Robert E LEE, `Stonewall’ JACKSON and James LONGSTREET 6-9 Sept 1862. Here was written the famous Lost order no. 191 and the proclamation to the people of Maryland.’-State Roads Marker.
Henry Kyd DOUGLAS identified the spot as Best’s Grove near Monocacy Junction and so 3 miles south of Frederick.
To be continued-Frederick, Middletown and Gapland.
