Can anybody tell me when and where JOSEPH BEAKEY or BECHI was born and
married. I have information that may or not be correct. He was born on
Loretto, Mdd. Also I have two birth dates, One 1773 the other 1780 I do
know that his father was Victor Emanuel Bechi and the family were Catholics.
At some later date the name was changed to Beakey.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Shrewsbury Parish, also known as South Sassafras Parish, was in Cecil County
when it the parish was established. Cecil County, which was formed from
Baltimore in 1674, gave up its lands south of the Sassafras River to Kent Co.
in 1707 because of the inconvenience to residents in crossing the river. The
first Cecil County courthouse was on the north side of the Sassafras River.
In other words, the Shrewsbury area would be the northern part of Kent Co.
today.
Some of the church's vestry and register records are available on both
Maryland Archives and LDS microfilm. Check the Maryland Archives site to see
what they have. The LDS catalog is also online.
Shrewsbury parish received its name from a town laid out on the south side of
the Sassafras River, a little distance east of Turner's Creek. It was
probably named for the Rt. Hon. Charles Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, who was
prominent in England at that time. (History of Kent Co. by Usilton)

Hi all -
Before accepting the claim that Dick Eastman's review of this
product was "excellent", you might want to read the review
yourselves at
http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/eastman/eastman.asp#8
You can read a great deal into his review, both pro and con.
I asked Dick directly if he was selling the product himself and he
said he was not. This is contrary to the statement "... in fact HE
is now selling it too!".
Please remember that people who promote this product are doing so
in order to increase the money coming into their own
pockets. Certainly nothing wrong with that so long as they are up
front about their promotional activities. Every time you click on
a URL which ends
affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=methenyd
you'll be helping "D. Metheny" make some money. And again,
nothing wrong with that. The product's marketers are paying
"affiliates" such as the above for clickthrus to their web site in
hopes of attracting business. Commerce and genealogy on the
Internet are natural companions and I think we all benefit from
them working in combination.
Honesty in marketing also benefits our community.
I have purchase the mentioned product in order to determine what it
was. In my personal opinion, if you are able to utilize the free
Internet search engines and the free genealogy link lists available
online, the product is not worth the money charged for it.
Cheers - Mark Howells

I think this is indeed correct. However, I think that the forwarded
piece also had some validity, although a bit skewed <gr>.
I suspect that the "housekeeper" meant "land-owner" was.....perhaps
over-simplified <grimace>. I suspect that, in census data, widowed
women, divorced women, single women, women who were 'informally'
divorced, who were in charge of a farmstead, were not listed as
'farmer'. They were listed as 'housekeeper'. Some of these really
ran the farm. Others had 1 to 4 little to mostly-grown sons who did
much of the physical work while she mostly kept house and wrestled
with the larger survival issues of continuing farm family life. All
kinds of gradients and complex realities.
'Domestics' were officially those who made their living by what we
would now call 'house-keeping'. However, the 'domestic' in the census
could be a cousin, or a widowed daughter-in-law, or an informally
'adopted' daughter whose father, a close family friend, had died, or
many other permutations on the theme.
Their lives were not much simpler then than lives are now.
Linda

The "Eastman Report" Gave Genealogy Detective an EXCELLENT
Review. In fact they "NOW" highly recommend it for amateurs.
http://www.genealogydetective.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=met...
In response to the query:
<>
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I would think that as late as
the 1850's that the term "housekeeper" would mean what it means today, a
woman who keeps house for her family. I believe "domestic" meant someone who
hired out their services housekeeping, such as a maid. This person may or may
not have lived in the residence of the head of household.
Any other thoughts on this line of thinking anyone?
I am interested in the use of the terms "housekeeper" and "domestic". I
saw both terms used in the 1850 and 60 census. I thought they meant as
they do today. Does anyone know if that is the case or the old
meanings? Seems like there were too many housekeepers that were female
to have been land owners.

Hope I am posting this to the correct list. Searching for any information on marriage and children of Andrew Roberts b.? d. 1682 MD
#2 Marriage and children of John Sr. Roberts b abt 1661 d.?MD
#3 Henry Roberts b. aft 1662 d. Unknown married Anne Hopkins b.? d? Children of Henry & Anne: Unknown
#4. John Roberts Jr. b? d. 1735 MD married: Unknown
Children born: Unknown
#5. William Sr. Roberts b.? d. 1788 Rowan CO. NC married Ellnor/Elainor Mayhew/Mayham/Mahon.
All of the above lived in MD and were associated with St. Paul's Protestant Church. Is there anyone researching this family that has information they could share? Is there anyone that could possibly do lookups for me please?
Thank you
God Bless

Can anyone on the list tell me the geographic area which would have been
covered by Shrewsbury Parish at the beginning of the 1700's? Also, I
would
like to know where I might find the parish records, or an accurate
transcription
of them. I am working on the family of John Cole, who's children appear
to have
been baptised "en masse" on April 4, 1714.
Thanks,
Linda McDaniel
B. Holley and List,
Is there a source to go to that lists these children?
Thanks,

Very interesting, & some people say genealogy is boring,, Hehehehehe! Far
from it, but that's only one opinion! It's vital we all do our homework like
