EDITOR’S NOTE
Al Werking has resigned as president of FRECOGS; Pepper Scotto, the acting President, (who is also our treasurer) is looking for someone who would be interested in committing to the position of President. We also have elections coming up in November. Make an effort to volunteer. The excuse ‘I don’t have time’ doesn’t keep the organization running. None of the rest of us have the time either.
Please send in photocopies of your family bible to be published in the FRECOGS newsletter.
Stan Martin has found a definition of “inmate” In the information from A New Index, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Before The Federal Census, Volume 3; Index to the 1750 Tax Records by Gary T Hawbaker and Clyde L Groff where the word means “a renter, no land”. This would have been important for the time period because only Freemen were allowed to vote and it would be very hard to find a male ancestor who would not be able to vote.
The file cabinet FRECOGS maintains at the LDS Family History Center is full. We are looking for a kind hearted soul to donate us another one.
We also have back issues of all FRECOGS newsletters if any of the membership need them. They are $2 each. Indexes are $5.

{This is one of those examples that can make you do a double-take. If you were to look for the LICENSE in Frederick County for this marriage-you won’t find it-it’s in Carroll County, 1 May 1846. Not only have I found couples with licenses from Carroll County getting married in the adjoining counties of Frederick and Baltimore, I’ve also seen notices for ceremonies performed in Pennsylvania.}
Mr William Mahoney, one of Frederick’s oldest citizens, died there on Sunday, in his 74th year. He was for many years chief clerk of the Circuit Court for Frederick county under General Edward Shriver and Adolphus Fearhake, Esq. He also filled the office of chief clerk of the Baltimore post office under Gen. Shriver. March 3 1887 The Carroll Democrat

Middletown Post Office Middletown is a beautiful village, situated between the Catoctin and Blue Ridge or South Mountains, eight miles west of Frederick City on the old national Pike. it is in the heart of the picturesque and fertile Middletown Valley; a mile further west is a pretty, meandering stream, called Middle creek, equally distant from the tops of the two mountains. The village from its location with reference to this stream and the two mountains was named Middletown. It is also equally distant from Frederick City, and Boonsboro in Washington county. At the census of 1880 it had a population of 705, whilst Middletown election district had then a population of 2,821. It was incorporated in 1834 and Jacob Hoffman was its first Burgess. The first settlers in the town were Frederick Stemple and Jacob Lorentz, some of the descendants of both of whom now reside in the town. Among other early settlers were the ancestors of the Millers, Lighters, Bowluses, Kellers, Herrings, Routzahns, Coblentzes, Kefauvers, Levys, Koogles, Rudys, Shafers, Smiths and others. The people of Middletown and its vicinity have always been noted for their sobriety, their industry and other stirling(sic) qualities of manhood; they are honest and thrifty, positive and their views and with decided force or character. In religion they are mostly Lutheran and Reformed, though there are some Methodists and Untied Brethren. Politically Middletown used to be strongly Democratic until the rise of the American of “Know-Nothing” party. Now it is the Republican stronghold of the county. Many young men have from time to time left Middletown to seeks homes in various portions of the West, and in many western communities the old family names of Middletown are almost as familiar now as they are with us. Springfield, Ohio, numbers among its inhabitants hundreds who left Middletown and its vicinity, and hundreds more whose ancestors were well known residents of that village. In early days Middletown, occupying the central portion of the valley, did a large and thriving business, especially of a mercantile character. it was the centre of trade of the whole valley. It is an active and industrious town and still retains a good trade, though the numerous villages and country stores that have sprung up in the valley have contracted the territory which it once supplied. It was once the voting place for the entire valley from Mason’s & Dixon’s line to the Potomac, and on election day there was plenty of life and animation, some spirits and occasionally a first class fight. It is now a local option district, and the home of the recently talented Prohibition candidate for Congress. Middletown is the birth place of Admiral Roger Stemble, the well known US naval officer, who has frequently served his country with distinction. it was also the birth place of Gen Joseph Van Swearingen, who served as a private in the Revolutionary war under his father, Van Swearingen, who was a captain in the Continental army, and who came originally from Holland, and who was captured in the battle of “Valley Forge” and was a prisoner at New York for sometime. Gen Swearingen, during the war of 1812, had charge of the commissary department at Frederick. Middletown has four fine churches. The largest of these is the Lutheran, which has had twenty two pastors from 16th December, 1779, to the present, among whom were such able and well known divines as Drs. J G Schmucker, C A Hays, D F Bittle, J McCron, W E Strobel, and Dr Stock. its Sunday School was organized 2nd December, 1827, with S G Harbaugh as its first superintendent. The Reformed church is likewise an old and large congregation. Up to 1830 it formed a part of the Frederick city charge. Since Jan 1st 1830, it has had six pastors, the best known of whom were Drs McCauly and Glossner. The Methodist church formed a part of Frederick circuit until 1858 when Middletown and Jefferson were formed into a new circuit with Rev John Anderson as the first pastor. The United Brethren originally worshipped in the same church as the Methodists, but have recently built a substantial and neat structure for themselves. There is also a small neat Catholic church in the village, but it has no local pastor, being supplied from Frederick city. An African Methodist Episcopal church completes the list of building dedicated to the worship of God. The following orders are represented in Middletown; Catoctin Lodge, No 113, IOOF instituted 8th May 1868; Valley Encampment No 34 IOOF instituted 6th Feb 1877; Middletown Lodge No 19 AOUW instituted 18th January 1881, and Independent Order Good Templars instituted in 1867. The village has one good weekly paper with a circulation, well known as “The Valley Register”. It was started in 1839 by Jacob T C Miller under the name of “The Catoctin Enterprise”. The town has a number of fine stores, and the various mechanical trades are well represented, including two coach factories. The town is one of the healthiest in the State, the country being well drained, and the water is as fine as can be found any where. The following farmers receive mail at this office.

Federal Land Records Information submitted by Mark Sain National Archives form 14019
The Suitland Reference Branch has custody of the land entry files and abstract books for Federal public domain states and the record copies of patents and central office tract books for western states.
The mailing address for information and requests for land entry records is: Suitland Reference Branch (NNRR), Textual Reference Division, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, DC 20409.
There is no specific form used to request searches in land records. Your written request, however, should contain the basic information described in this form. Do not send money in advance of receiving a price quote for making copies.
Federal land records document only the first transfer of title to land from the United States to another party. Records of later transactions may be found in county records.
There are Federal land records for all states except the original 13 states, Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maine, West Virginia, Texas and Hawaii. These states were never part of the Federal public domain.
Most land entry files for the years 1800-1908 are arranged by state, land office, kind of entry (such as cash, homestead), and land entry file number (such as a Homestead Final Certificate number).
For the pre-1908 land entry files there are name indexes for Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, and Utah. For the other public domain states west of the Mississippi River (excluding Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota) land entry files can be located by the researcher providing the name of the State and either a legal description of the land (section, township, range) or the name of the land office, type of file, and land entry file number. Legal description of land can usually be obtained from the county recorder of deeds. For the public domain states east of the Mississippi River (as well as Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota), the researcher must provide the name of the State, and the name of the land office, type of file, and the land entry file number. This information can normally be obtained from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) by providing the BLM with a legal description of the land (section, township, range). The BLM address is: Eastern States Office, Bureau of Land Management, 7450 Boston Blvd, Springfield, VA 22153.[Susanne Flowers has arranged for FRECOGS members to visit this office in the past-tdl]
The post-1908 land reentry files are arranged numerically. There are name indexes for these records.
Military bounty land warrants are arranged by act of congress, certificate number, and, for warrants under the acts of 1847-1855, by number of acres. There are indexes for the Revolutionary War and most of the War of 1812 warrants but not for the warrants under the acts of 1847-1855. To identify warrants under these acts, use NAFT. Form 80. Order for Copies of Veterans Records, to request a search of bounty land warrant applications among the military service records held by the General Reference Branch (NNRG), Textual Reference Division, national Archives and Records Administration, Washington, DC 20408.
