I just returned from a trip to my son's who lives in Chantilly, VA.
I took one day at the Fairfax City, VA library to look up Carmack
tidbits and will share as time allows.
I did drive to Frederick County, MD one day and visited Detour, MD where
the original Carmacks farmed and while there sampled the delicious white
corn that grows in that area. Stopped at Ladiesburg, Haughs (Mt Zion)
Lutheran Church and cemetary where graves of following were found:
Carmack, John 23 Apr. 1850 age about 66 (legible)took photo
w Mary d/o John & Sophia Delaplane 13 June 1838 18-11-11 (marker not
legible)
Carmack, Joshua 2 Apr. 1827-2 Aug. 1892(legible)took photo
w Amanda 12 Feb. 1828-6 Aug. 1894(legible)took photo
Carmack, Sarah w/o John C. 10 Aug. 1822 age 73 (could not find marker)

Carmack, Jacob( s of Paul Carmack) 20 July 1820 3-5-15 (could not find

Tried to find the Methodist Protestant Cemetary, Detour. Asked
directions at village store and elderly gentleman overheard me and
claimed that the church had started to cave in when he was a little boy
and now it being located on private property that
the building is in totat ruin. Markers might be found for the following
buried there; however we had run out-of-time:
Carmack, William C. 7 Aug. 1876 84-5-29

s Francis 1823-1903
