There is a public member tree for Upton Norris, showing he was born in 1783 in Frederick County, Maryland to Nathaniel Norris and Catherine Phillips. He married Susannah Clary (shown as died in 1813) and he died in 1838 in Pennsylvania. He is linked to two children – Eden Norris, born in 1812 and Edith Norris, born in 1818. This listing raises more questions than it answers.
Parkinson (Pirkinson), John – leader of George Sargent’s 1776 unit. He is shown also to have been a sergeant in Colonel Wood’s militia in November 1775 and was an “associator” in December 1775. He was commissioned as a first lieutenant in 1779.
Pole, William – shown as a commander of the 1801 unit in which Jacob Sargent served. [In the 1800 Frederick County census in Liberty Town, there is a William Poole, and a William Powel.] Joseph Poole was also in this unit. Abraham Sandes, shown below, was also a leader of this unit.
Riley, Edward – in deed record with Peter Strine in 1808. There is a Frederick County marriage record for Edward Riley and Jane McGuffin dated October 13, 1800. There was an Edward Ryley in Taney, Frederick County in the 1800 census, and there were two Edward Ryley’s just across the state line in Adams County, Pennsylvania in the 1810 census.
Sandes, Abraham – shown as a commander of the 1801 unit in which Jacob Sargent served. I have not found other records for him.
Sawder, Jacob – shown in the 1781 Frederick Co Court record with George Sargent. This is a reference that was hand copied from the original, and I have not seen the original to know if there is any give in interpreting what the surname actually is.
There is a Jacob Sauder, married to Catharina, who was shown in Evangelical Reform Lutheran Church records of Frederick, as their daughter Maria Catharine Sauder was born on October 14, 1794. There is a marriage record of Jacob Sauer (sic) and Catharina Morckel or Merckel on January 26, 1790 in the St. Peters Lutheran Church records. I cannot find anyone by this name in census records - although in 1790 and 1800 there is a Jacob Sowers in Frederick County census records. In 1790 there is no township listed, but in 1800 that entry is shown in Emmitsburg.
Smith, Philip Jr.. – leader of George Sargent’s 1776 unit. Philip Smith Sr. was an associator in 1775, as was Philip Jr; and both took the oath of Allegiance in 1778. Philip Sr. died in 1790 and one of his descendants was listed as Philip Jr. Philip Jr. was promoted to captain in 1776 and to major in 1790.
There are two Philip Smith’s in the Frederick County 1790 census, one with fourteen people in the entry and another with six people in the entry. There was no township listed for either. There are two Philip Smith’s in Liberty Town in the 1800 census. It’s unclear if one of these are the Philip in question. One of them is over the age of forty-five, and the other is between the ages of twenty-six and forty-five.
Stembel, Frederick – the leader of the War of 1812 regiment in which Nathaniel Kinney served.
Frederick is listed in numerous deed records in Frederick County. The one I have abstracted if from Frederick Co DB 9, p. 509. At the request of Philip Eppleman the deed was recorded on November 16, 1790. The deed was dated October 29, 1790. Frederick Stembell of Frederick County and State of Maryland to Philip Eppleman of the same place. Eighty pounds. Land in Middle Town in the County aforesaid part of Number “Thirty-one”. The land is described. Signed by Frederick Stembel in the presence of Jacob Young.
Frederick Stempel is shown in the Find-A-Grave database as buried in Zion Lutheran Cemetery in Middletown, Frederick County, Maryland. He is shown as born 1745 in Pennsylvania and died on November 16, 1840 in Middletown, Frederick County, Maryland. In the same cemetery is one other Stempel – Esther Catharine Leutert Stempel, born September 11, 1750 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and died on May 10, 1835 in Middletown.
There is a will listed for Frederick on p. 558 of Volume 2 of Frederick County wills for the years 1834-1843 – but the pages containing Frederick’s will were skipped in the filming of the volume. In Volume 10 of Frederick County inventories are lists for the estate of Frederick Stembell (sic). One inventory is dated January 26, 1841, but in the long list of buyers contains no names that are familiar.
Strein (Strine) – Johann Peter is born in 1786 to Adam and Susanna Strein, with Peter and Susanna Strein being the sponsors. Peter Strine married Catherine Sargent in 1807.
Maria Barbara Strein was born to Peter and Christina Strein on April 21, 1773, recorded at St. Peters Lutheran Church. This is significant because the name Barbara is included – one of the only places I’ve seen it in this area and period outside of the Sargent family.
In St. Peters records, Anna Christina, the daughter of Joh. And Maria Elisabeth Schumacher was born on June 12, 1774 and baptized on June 31, 1774. The sponsors were Peter and Christina Strein.
In St. Peters records, Daniel, son of Henrich and Anna Barbara Meyer was born on February 10, 1785 and baptized on May 22, 1785. The sponsor was Henrich Litt.
Johann Adam Strein was married to Susanna, and their son Johan Peter was born on September 13, 1786 and baptized November 5, 1786. Sponsors were Peter and Christina Strein. This was shown in the St. Peters church records next to a record for Martin Kiney and George “Sargon”, and is posted above in the section on the Sargents and the few places that original records place them.
There is a marriage record for Margareth Strein to Christian Startz on October 23, 1787 in the Monocacy Church and Lutheran congregation records. Peter and Christina Strein were witnesses, and then Jacob Stortz was born on October 20, 1787 with Peter and Christina Strein as witnesses. Then there was the birth of Jacob, son of Christian and Margareth Stortz, born October 20, 1787 and baptized March 12, 1788 with the sponsors Peter and Christina Strein.
In St. Peters records, Joh. Wilhelm, son of Peter and Christina Strein was shown as born on January 1, 1778 and baptized on May 13, 1778. The sponsors were Christian and Christina Stortz. In the same records, Abraham, son of Christian and Catharina Sturtz (sic) was born on May 21, 1778 and baptized on August 21, 1778. Sponsors were Peter and Christina Strein.
Then in St. Peters records, there was Margareth, daughter of Johann Adam and Susanna Strein, born August 10, 1788 and baptized November 9, 1788. The sponsors were Peter and Christina Strein.
There are two Adam Strine listings in the 1790 Frederick County, Maryland census - both posted below. The one on the left has five persons - three of which are women. The one on the right, on the same page as a Norris, Mort, and Litt, shows seven people in the entry, three of which are women.
