EDITOR’S NOTE
I’m sure every FRECOG’s member has a research to-do-list.
Some the items on my list only I can take care of-like learning to use the Internet.
But, now and in the future, I’m going to ask members to help me with questions I have in the interest of the group. Because of such requests in the past, FRECOGS has received donations of written material.
1. The books the Russell’s donated to FRECOGS are all in the FHC. The magazines, which include all (I think) issues of the Genealogical Helper, and at least 4 other major boxes are currently living in my basement-and any one interested can come and go through them. My question is-is anyone else in the Frederick area interested in having the collection in their home with the same basic premise-they belong to FRECOGS and will be available for members to use?
2. Where can this book be read or obtained-The WPA Historical Records Survey: A Guide to the Unpublished Inventories, Indexes and Transcripts-by the Society of American Archivists-and when was it published?
3. Most Maryland libraries have made M-CAT (the microform listing catalog for all Maryland libraries) unavailable to the general public-and I hear Frederick County has dropped the program entirely. What can researchers do to circumvent this and find the books we need for our research?
4. I have received a FGS for Renelder Walker and May Wilcoxson without a name or address. If this is yours, please send me your address.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Trudy,
I recently went to University of Maryland to look up some Obituaries in the Frederick Newspapers. I just happened on a couple of articles that might be of interest for your newsletter. You can do with them what you want.
“The Frederick Examiner” 6 August 1884 (from Hanover Spectator)
Removal of Remains-The Remains of the Rev. Jacob Henry WIESTLING, a former well known Reformed minister, who officiated in our town some 60 years ago, were exhumed last week from the old Reformed burial ground, east of York street, by direction of some of his relatives, and removed to Frederick city, MD, where they were reinterred. Rev. WIESTLING died in the month of February, 1826, 58 years ago.
I also found something of interest in the same weeks paper. I had an interest in Jacob KELLER who married Elizabeth SLAGLE and his family. I’m not sure yet who this Jacob KELLER is but there are lots of clues in the following notice of Equity hearing. What makes this really interesting is the fact that this Jacob KELLER died in 1850 and there were still trying to settle his estate in 1884. After 34 years this is a genealogists gold mine and one that could be easily missed. The notice is very long and I’m sure you have access to it if you would like to read it in its entirety so I will just outline the names found.
“The Frederick Examiner” August 6, 1884-No 4959 Equity-In the Circuit Court for Frederick County, Vs a Court of Equity. July Term 1884. Charles V.S. LEVY, administrator of Jacob KELLER, deceased, vs. Richard K HARPER, Charlotte SNOOK and Dennis R SNOOK, her husband, Henry E HANSHEW and others, and all the heirs at law and personal representatives of Ann E HARKEY, deceased. The purpose of the bill is to determine who shall get the money of Ann E HARKEY.
The bill states that Jacob KELLER died in 1850 with a will. He left all his real and personal property to his widow, Catharine, as long as she did not marry. After the death or marriage of his widow, his children and their heirs were to get shares of the proceeds of the sale of what was left. He names his executors Catharine KELLER, Richard HARPER, Charles F KELLER, Benjamin H KELLER, Frederick H KELLER and Henry E HANSHEW. Catharine KELLER died in 1880. In 1884, Richard HARPER and Charles F KELLER are also dead.
The next section names all of the children at the time of his death: Ann Elizabeth, wife of James HARKEY; Sophia, wife of Richard HARPER; these two being daughters by his wife. Caroline M, wife of Henry E HANSHEW; Jacob A KELLER; Henry M M KELLER; Charles F KELLER, Benjamin H KELLER; Frederick H KELLER; children of his second wife.
The bill next tells about each of the children. All of them being dead except Benjamin.
Ann Elizabeth married James HARKEY. She died in 1854 with no children. James was also dead but the bill wants to know if his heirs are entitled to a part of the estate of if he has any heirs and if he does who are they and where are they.
Sophia died leaving husband Richard HARPER, now dead, a son Richard K HARPER and daughter Charlotte, wife of Dennis R SNOOK, both living in Frederick County.
Caroline died leaving her husband Henry E HANSHEW, a son Charles F HANSHEW, and daughters Mary Catharine HANSHEW and Caroline V HANSHEW, all now living in Montgomery County.
Jacob died and apparently never married as he left his estate to his mother and brothers and sisters and their heirs.
Henry M M died and also left his estate to his mother and brothers and sisters and their heirs.
Charles F died and left his wife Caroline; a daughter Ida, wife of William M HARDT, a son J Heisley KELLER, a son William H KELLER, and a daughter Ella C KELLER, all living in Frederick County.
Benjamin was living in Montgomery County.
Frederick H died and left a widow Mary Jane DURAN? (hard to read but she apparently remarried); sons Mathias KELLER; Samuel F KELLER; and a daughter Jane S wife of Ephram LITTLE; all living in Baltimore

The Henry Yergin Family
Hi Donna,
Here’s what I could put together on the Henry YERGIN family. He was born 31 May 1788 in Frederick County and came to Wayne Co, OH in 1816. He was on the 1820 tax list, which qualifies him for Pioneer Families of Wayne County, or for First Families of Ohio. He and his wife Catherine COBLE, had children John, Susanna, Elizabeth, Henry, Mary, David, Christian, William, Andrew, Sophia, Catharine and Joseph. Hen died 1 June 1856 and is buried at the Salem Lutheran cemetery in Madisonburg, a section of north Wooster.
I have information on the following children.
David: born 26 Feb 1820 and died 22 Feb 1902 in Medina Co, just north of Wayne County, Ohio. I found an obit for him dated 30 April 1902 and it is enclosed.
William: born 20 Oct 1825 in Ohio; married Nancy Steel on 2 April 1857; died 12 May 1903. William’s obit enclosed, dated 20 May 1903. Nancy’s will abstract enclosed, #10235.
Sophia: born 1831; married John T Bisel 5 March 1854 in East Union Twp of Wayne County, Ohio. Marriage recorded Vol 4 1/2 on page 171.
Catharine: born 1833; married 12 Oct 1854 5o Samuel DIETRICK in East Union Twp, Wayne Co, Ohio. Marriage recorded Vol.4 1/2 page 222. See Yergin Dietrick section enclosed.
Joseph: born 9 Oct 1835; married 23 Feb 1860 to Sarah Ann Harry, who was born 12 May 1844. He was a farmer in Canaan Twp, Wayne County, Ohio and had the following children: Elmer c 1864, Clara J c 1869, Harry M c 1871, Minnie c 1873, Jane c 1875, Sarah b 25 Jul 1878, and Carrie Bell who was born October 1880. (Ref: 1880 Wayne County, Ohio Census) Joseph died 9 Dec 1910 and is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Medina County, Ohio. (Ref: birth records of children; Medina Co Cemetery Records) Simon: born 1840
This should give somebody a start if they find their Yergins match “our” Yergins. If anyone is interested, tell them to write to me and I’ll try to do whatever I can to help them.
Hope you have a lovely holiday.
Bonnie Knox, Wayne County Public Library, 304 North market St, Wooster, OH 44691.

Genealogy in the 21st Century:…The Picture is not pretty!
by Landon Wills, Editor of Bluegrass Roots. It appeared in the Summer 1994 issue. It is reprinted here with Mr Will’s permission and his request that anyone with feedback on the article write him at 513 Murray St, Frankfort, KY 40601.
What will genealogy be like in the 21st Century? A note in an exchange publication prompted some thoughts on this subject. The report said that there is a movement underway to urge Congress to require that in the year 2000 the census include the maiden names of married women.
This sounds like a good, forward-looking idea. How nice it would be if all the past censuses had included this feature!
But, there is a catch to this. The Bureau of the Census is working on a plan to do the 2000 Census largely by sampling. If this plan is adopted, there will be N0 recording of all residents counted, by name. So there will be no list of the type we are accustomed to, that shows the name and age of every resident.
Let’s look at the prospects for your great-grand-child when he undertakes to do family research. What will he find when he tries to trace his line back to you? Here are some of the well-used sources of family data and what they will look like in the 21st Century.
Census-if the plan under consideration is adopted, census records will be completely useless for genealogical research. Thus will be lost one of the primary sources used in current research.
Marriage Records-they will be of much less use in future research. By 2000, half the births in the United States will be to parents who are Not married. So how are you going to fill in the marriage data for parents in those births.
Birth Certificates-There are several current developments which will make birth records undependable for genealogical data.
-In an increasing number of cases, the mother does not know who is the father of the child. Or for various reasons, chooses to give incorrect information for the birth certificate.
-Artificial insemination policy makes it unethical and possibly illegal for the mother to know the name of the sperm donor. So now, birth certificates are being submitted with “Artificial insemination” entered in the space for name of father. What do you put on your pedigree chart for the father?
-Surrogate Mothers: These are cases where the wife is not able to carry a pregnancy to term. So her egg is impregnated in a test tube with her husband’s sperm. Then the fertilized egg is inserted in the womb of another woman who, for a fee, gives birth to the child. How will the birth certificate record that one? One case has been reported in which the wife’s mother bore the child for her. So the child’s physical mother is her genealogical grandmother. With new developments in reproductive medicine, there may be other complications in making and using birth records.
Divorces-half of today’s marriages are ended by divorce. In some cases, the divorce is so bitter that the divorced parties never want to have any contact with ex-spouses (except, maybe, child support checks). In other cases, by the time of a third or fourth marriage, contact has been lost so that there is no mechanism for handling down family information and traditions. Because of bad feelings, some records may be intentionally destroyed.
[Have you noticed in reading wedding announcements how many of the bridges and grooms have three or four parents listed for each]
Deeds-Many times, researchers are able to trace heredity and migration by checking deeds for farms or homes. Now, with Americans moving so many times, and such far distances, and so many living in rented houses or apartments, deeds will be of little use to genealogy.
Church Records-Today, fewer young people are forming permanent church relationships. And in many churches, records are being kept on computers, making them more ephemeral than the old hard-bound books kept by the pastor or clerk. And again, the high mobility of the population will make the finding of church records more difficult.
Bible Records-Bibles have been a cherished source for records of marriages, births, and deaths. But how many families do you know who are keeping an up-to-date record in a family Bible? How many do you think will be doing it in 2050? And with so many marriages turning out unhappily, how many unpleasant marriages will be cut out of the Bibles that are being kept? (We’ve seen it done!)
Name changes-will complicate future research. Increasing numbers of married women are continuing to use their maiden name after marriage-especially for professional identification. In a few cases, married couples are using names that have no connection with either spouse’s original name. An example, a few years ago in Oberlin, Ohio, Anna Marie Rasch married David Stephen Greenberg. So, what was their surname after they married? It was Kaftan!
That will confuse some future researcher.
If you put your mind into “future shock” gear you can probably think of more current or expected developments which will make genealogical research in the 21st century difficult.
Perhaps we can hope that at the same time that these developments make research more difficult, there may be others that will help.
At least one possibility like that has come to light in recent months. That is the use of DNA techniques. Here is how this can work:
Those who know the editor’s genealogical labors have probably heard him relating, ad nauseam, his attempts to prove a descent from the family of Haute Wyatt, a minister and colonist in Virginia in 1621. For of this descent hinges on the parentage of one Susannah Wyatt, born in Virginia about 1700. (The problem is complicated by the fact that there are records of three Susannah Wyatts flourishing at the same time).
Now,, there are thousands of persons living who have proven the descent from one branch of this family. Suppose I could find a living person who has proven descent from Haute Wyatt. If that person would provide a DNA sample to compare with my DNA, I would know [with odds of a million-to-one], whether or not I am descended from the same Wyatt family. That would take my line back about 20 generations!
That is an intriguing thought!
Let us hope that other developments may emerge that will offset some of the distressing situations I have listed here. If You have any thoughts on this subjects-positive or negative-let us hear from you.
And if any of us have the time and energy left, we ought to do all we can with the resources we have available now.
Tomorrow will be too late!

*(note by JMH: James Calvin was a potter whose work is in Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC. His father, Michael, also was a potter under LYNN at Middleburg.)
——
Grandfather Michael MACKLEY had two brothers Joseph and Jesse and two sisters Hettie and Jemimah, perhaps more. Those are the only ones I remember. Jesse went west and died there.
Grandmother Bridget MACKLEY had one brother John ASHBAUGH, Maggie TOPPER’s father. Also, Aquilla ASHBAUGH who married Rachel HANN, grandfather Michael MACKLEY’s stepsister.
There was Grandpa HANN, Uncled Jake and Lewis HANN’s father. I think his name was Philip, and one sister John ASHBAUGH’s wife Peggy.
Grandmother HANN had four brothers that I remember: Samuel, William, Levi and Abram SHRINER, and one sister Kitty FROCK, who was Levi FROCK’s mothers.
Ida LANDIS can tell you who our great grandfather’s SHRINER’s name was. I have forgotten. The names are on the stone in Taneytown cemetery.
The HANN and MACKLEY families sure did marry through one another.
Jennie MACKLEY was Uncle Samuel’s wife. She was buried the day after father was.

Sarah Jane HANN BOLLINGER 16 se 1857 Death Date unknown
Sarah SHRINER MACKLEY had four bothers, Samuel, William, Levi and Abram SHRINER and one sister Kitty SHRINER FROCK, who had a son, Levi FROCK. (Note by JMH: Repitition of data on previous page.)
——
(Note by Ruth HOLDCRAFT MACKLEY:
The MACKLEY and HANN sheets and the general information sheet are copied as they were written and found in the old MACKLEY Bible. Uncle Charley said it was Miss Clara MACKLEY’s writing. She was a cousin to Uncle Charley — sisters married brothers
James Calvin MACKLEY to Martha Sophia HANN
and David MACKLEY to Elizabeth Ann HANN, the latter being Miss Clar’s parents.
Cousin Clara did not bring the line down to her generation.
Can you untangle the MACKLEY-HANN-ASHBAUGH intermarriages?
I cannot tie in any of the names found in Bethel Cemetery–Good Intent Raod–except perhaps Jacob MACKLEY’s wife Lucinda. She was born about 1833 and Jacob’ 1828. But Miss Clara gies his wife as Hanna and second wife Louisa. Could she be wrong?
In grandmother MACKLEY’s scrapbook is the death of Michael but does not say who he was the son of.) End of Ruth MACKLEY notes.

QUERIES
COUK, RECK,GAUCH, COUKLEBURGH: Looking for Abraham RECK in the 1800 Taneytown area census. David COUK b 1810 Taneytown, MD. I can only conjecture that the father could have been William or John, but the mother is unknown. The German name is GAUCH. It appears that when they landed in Philadelphia in 1740 they signed into the US as COUKLEBURGH. Also Susannah RECK m Charles Franklin COUK in Jonesville, Lee Co, VA. Doris Jean Couk WRIGHT, PO Box 3069, Colorado Springs, CO 80934
WELLS, DUCKETT: Researching Richard WELLS:
Northern Neck Grants & Surveys: 1767-1770: Order Book for Frederick Co, VA: part II, Vol #14, dated 15 June 1770; VA State Library Richmond, VA.
His land grant was surveyed while he lived on it on 19 Dec 1751. However, the deed was not issued until 15 Jun 1770, when it was given to Tunis WELLS, his sole heir
On Aug 1 1769, the Frederick Co, Court appointed Thomas APPLEGATE to administer his estate, and Tunis HOOD, John MCLAUGHLIN, James HAWTHORN & Mathew MCKAY to appraise his property.
One theory is that he migrated from Maryland because of a Richard WELLS, born 26 Jan 1726/27 in PG Co, MD, son of Nathan and Mary DUCKETT WELLS. He is old enough to have been Tunis’ father and to have moved west to settle the land in VA. There are no subsequent records there of his marriage or children, and the PG Gen Soc suggested I check in Frederick County. Thanks for any help.
