I was deterred hy the lon^ illness and death of ni\ mother, she l)\ the enforced absence of herself and famil\ from the country, her hnshand hein^ in the U S. Navy and her own health frail. This winter I took it up aj^ain. My mother and I searched the country fronj Shepherdstown *to Hajjerstown ; tracked throuijh damj) j^rass knee deep to read inscriptions «)n tombstones in old cemeteries. We found Mr. Ji)lin Peter Sinith in Sharpsbur^, who liad in hi-^ po-^se-sjon much of value —the old .Muster Roll of the Chaplines of French and Indian War of 1757. old deeds of Joseph Chapline and part of his family record. I employed both an iCn^lish and Anierican C.enealo;;ist for some points The Kuj^lish (»eiiealo^i>t for one hundretl and fifty dollars sent me only Admiral Carter's will and information that, the Chajiline crest was the same as that of a family en- nobled in Lond'.'n in I5v.>- 1 54athere<l the l)e t re.-^ults in the three best libraries in Philadeli)hia : the City, and the I^jMScopal Cliiirch Library in Baltimore ; the Historical Society Rooms there; the Library of the i'atent Oftice, Treasury, and War Department in Washin<4ton, and in the C on^ressional Library in Wa>hinj.(ton, i;oin»; through e\er\ old hi>l«)r\ and ever> manuscript in the old manusciipt room and all I*ji);lish ( fenealttijies in the Library : the Church rei'ords in the Protestant I^jjiscopal Thetdoi^ical Seminary Library near Alexandria. \'a.. and I carefully searcheil the Ma^erstown record"^, and had others search in .Xnuajujlis. The burning of many of the old \Lir\ land maim>cripts enshnnided much of interest in obli\ ion I could do no more. NOTICE. In Heniii,y,'s \'irgiiiia, ]). 371, it says : New Year began March 25, Jewish compilation. This rule ol)herved until 1751. After last da}' of December. 1751, the year 1752 was to begin January i. This was made neces- sary b}' the adoption in England of Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII made in 1752." " Up to this date Calendar of Julius Csesar, made 45 years before Christ and called, 'Julian Calendar or Old Style ' was used." Therefore, when you see a date written thus, 1631-2, it means that the old year was continued to the 25th of March, and New Year began at that date. Remember this fact in reading births in Talbot County Church Records. Where second marriages have taken place, and they have a second family, the numbers go on, from last number of first family of children, because they are that number of the Chaplinc blood in that special family. To in\ hcloved mother, Louvisa rhajiliiie Carter Li«;^c'lt, who so unselfishly assisted, by purse and memory, in this record, and who joined her dear ones e^one before. February 6. 1S96.
