THE NOTEBOOK of the Baltimore County Genealogical Society P. O. Box 10085 Towson, MD 21204 Robert Barnes, Editor March, 1994 Vol THE NOTEBOOK of the Baltimore County Genealogical Society P. O. Box 10085 Towson, MD 21204 Robert Barnes, Editor March, 1994 Vol. 10, No. 1 (Whole No. 63) EDITOR'S NOTE After a year's furlough, it's good to be back! This first issue of the. year contains a continuation of several articles started last year, and begins a new article on interments in St. Pat- rick's Cemetery. On another page will be found a list of the services offered by the Society. ST. PATRICK'S CEMETERY Philadelphia Road, Baltimore. This article is taken from two sources. The first"source is a series of inscriptions which were copied in November 1934 by Mrs. Frank A. Suter, Mrs. W. H. Pearce, and Mrs. A. L. Latham of the General Mordecai Gist Chapter, N.S.D.A.R. The typescript was placed in filing Case A at the Maryland Historical Society. They copied all of the inscriptions they could read because the cemetery was to be moved since a new highway to Philadelphia might be built over the land. Entries from this source are entered with no other indication of source. The second source is William N. Wilkins' "Early Baltimore City Burial grounds and Their Interment Records, 1834-1840," found at the Maryland Historical Society. A typical entry gives name, sex, age, cause of death, burial in the week ending a given date, and the cemetery where buried. Entries from this source are indicated by (W). The symbol "b/w/e" means "buried week ending." In transcribing these inscriptions, the names have been alphabetized, except for grouping husbands and wives together, and the data has been presented in a condensed format that does not omit any relevant details. Wilkins indicates that in 1822 St. Patrick's Cemetery was at Wolfe & Lombard. In 1850 the cemetery was on Philadelphia Road. The 1877 Atlas of Baltimore County shows St. patrick's Cemetery just north of Philadelphia Road, on a tract bounded by East Jefferson St., Potomac St., Orleans St., and Loney's Lane The Inscriptions (N), Maria Elizabeth, 14 days, "infantile," bur. week ending 13 Jan. 1834 (W).

  • The Linden Times
    The Linden Times A bi-weekly newsletter for the members & friends of the Calvert County Historical Society – March 19, 2021 This edition of The Linden Times is four pages in celebration of The Maryland 400. No, the Maryland 400 is not a NASCAR race held in Maryland; rather it is about Maryland’s first and most distinguished Revolutionary soldiers. The Maryland 400, also called “The Old Line” , were members of the 1st Maryland Regiment who repeatedly charged a numerically superior British force during the The Maryland 400 at the Battle of Brooklyn Revolutionary War’s Battle of Long Island, NY. As the leading conflict after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the fallen soldiers were the first to die as Americans defending their country, as opposed to colonial subjects rebelling against the monarchy. The Maryland 400 sustained very heavy casualties but allowed General Washington to successfully save the bulk of his nearly surrounded continental troops and evacuated them to Manhattan. This historic action is commemorated in the State of Maryland's nickname, “The Old Line State." The lineage for the Maryland Regiment can be traced to June 14, 1775, when military units were formed to protect the frontiers of western Maryland. In August of that year, another two companies assembled in Frederick, Maryland. They then marched 551 miles in 21 days to support General Washington’s efforts to drive the British out of Boston. Later, more Maryland militia companies, (armed with older, surplus British muskets and bayonets), were formed and then sent north to support Washington’s battles for New York City.

  • Gist Family of South Carolina and Its Mary­ Land .Antecedents
    The Gist Family of South Carolina and its Mary­ land .Antecedents BY WILSON GEE PRIVATELY PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR BY JARMAN'S, INCORPORATED CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA 1 9 3 4 To THE MEMORY OF MY MOTHER PREFACE Among the earliest impressions of the author of this gen­ ealogical study are those of the reverence with which he was taught to look upon the austere to kindly faces in the oil portrai~ of his Gist ancestors as they seemed from their vantage points on the walls of the room to follow his every movement about the parlor of his boyhood home. From his mother, her relatives, his father, and others of the older people of Union County and the state of South Carolina,_ he learned much of the useful and valorous services rendered by this family, some members of which in almost each gen­ eration have with varying degrees of prominence left their mark upon the pages of history in times of both peace and war. Naturally he cherished these youthful impressions concerning an American family which dates far back into the colonial days of this republic. As he has grown older, he has collected every fragment of authentic material which he could gather about them with the hope that they might be some day permanently preserved in such a volume as this. But it is correct to state that very likely this ambition would never have been realized had not his cousin, Miss Margaret Adams Gist of York, South Carolina, who for thirty-five years or more has been gathering materials on the Gist family, generously decided to turn over to him temporarily for hi~ use her rich collections of all those years.

    The Builder Magazine December 1920 - Volume VI - Number 12 MEMORIALS TO GREAT MEN WHO WERE MASONS GENERAL MORDECAI GIST BY BRO. GEO. W. BAIRD, P.G.M., DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MORDECAI GIST was born in Baltimore on the twenty-second of February, 1742, the anniversary of the birthday of Washington. His ancestors were wealthy and distinguished people whose names are often found in the annals of the French and Indian wars. Mordecai Gist was educated for an Episcopal clergyman, but on the outbreak of the War of the Revolution he joined the first company recruited in Maryland, and became its Captain. In 1776 he was promoted to Major of a Maryland Battalion which was prominent in the battle of Long Island. He saw considerable service in the North, and was promoted to Brigadier General and commanded the Second Brigade of Maryland soldiers. In 1779 he was transferred to the South, and at the Battle of Camden, S.C., where De Kalb lost his life in 1780, he was conspicuous for valor and for splendid generalship. He was then assigned to recruiting and securing supplies and clothing for the Army, and was eminently successful in that trying time. This duty completed, he returned to the field and took part in the expulsion of the enemy from the Southern States, and was present at the siege and capture of Yorktown. He was, at that time, at the head of a Light Corps and rendered eminently effective service at that critical period of the war. He was accorded the credit of saving the day by a gallant charge in the Battle of Combahee.

  • 196 Karl Gunther in a Rich and Important Study, Karl Gunther
    196 book reviews Karl Gunther Reformation Unbound. Protestant Visions of Reform in England, 1525–1590. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 2014, x + 284 pp. isbn 9781107074484. £65; us$99. In a rich and important study, Karl Gunther reassesses the character of the English church under the Tudors. Combing through both well-known and lesser-studied religious and polemical tracts, Gunther uncovers a “spectrum of voices” (p. 15) who called for radical change in the church. While radical ecclesiological visions have been typically ascribed to radical Puritans and separatists during Elizabeth’s reign, Gunther persuasively argues that these visions had existed in the minds of English reformers since Henry’s day. Gunther’s first and best chapter explores a wealth of radical ecclesiologi- cal expressions in the Henrician church, illuminating the extent of evangelical challenges to traditional institutions. Combing through the works of familiar figures such as William Tyndale, Robert Barnes, and François Lambert he tries to discover their opinions on a range of issues, including the eradication of bishops, the creation of new parishes, congregational discipline, and even the freedom for parishioners to form separatist congregations in case of theologi- cally or morally errant pastors. Perhaps even more important than their radical nature is the way these ecclesiological visions completely contradicted quasi- official publications of the 1530s and 1540s which claimed that the Bible had not set down rules of church governance and that therefore it was for the monarch to determine them. While chapter one antedates what scholars have considered for a long time to be later developments, chapter two ventures somewhere new.

This doctrine grounded Luther’s reflections on civil government, its relation to the church, and Christians’ ordinary vocations. Luther set forth a striking vision of what we today might call “Christianity and culture,” a vision rooted in centuries of earlier Christian thought—and yet without any exact precedent. While I do not believe Luther’s vision got everything right, I suggest that its basic features are compelling and remain surprisingly relevant for contemporary Christians. Luther’s famous treatise, “Temporal Authority: To What Extent It Should Be Obeyed” (1523), captures the main ideas and implications of the vision. At least four perennially important themes emerge from this treatise. First, Luther asserts that civil government claims legitimate authority. Magistrates bear the sword and enforce the law by God’s ordinance.

  • Gen. Nathanael Greene's Moves to Force the British Into The
    ` The Journal of the Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution ` Vol. 12, No. 1.1 January 23, 2015 Gen. Nathanael Greene’s Moves to Force the British into the Charlestown Area, to Capture Dorchester, Johns Island and to Protect the Jacksonborough Assembly November 1781 - February 1782 Charles B. Baxley © 2015 Fall 1781 – South Carolina The British Southern strategy was unraveling. Lt. Gen. Charles, Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia in October 1781. The British army of occupation in North and South Carolina and Georgia could hold selected posts and travel en masse at will, but could not control the countryside where rebel militias and state troops patrolled. Their southern strongholds were within 35 miles of their supply ports: Charlestown, Savannah and Wilmington, NC. In South Carolina the British withdrew from their advanced bases at Camden, Ninety Six, Augusta, and Georgetown, and only held posts arcing around Charlestown in the aftermath of the bloody battle at Eutaw Springs in September.
