Joan,
You're welcome. I am glad to be of any help. Just a few ideas.
One a day at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis I met a fellow
researcher named Jim Neill. We were discussing what we were looking for in
the records. Come to find out he and a friend of his were writing a history
of Locust Point. They were actually reading the directories of Baltimore line
by line looking for people who lived at addresses on the streets in the
Locust Point neighborhood. They told me that if any of my family had any
roots there that they would be glad to have information on them. I haven't
run into them recently but I got his card. You might get in touch with him.

I have the LDS 1880 census on CD. Since your Morris family came to Baltimore
after 1880 they would not be listed. I did not find Vernon Garrison either
BUT... I did a national search for Luke Romig. I only got 1 result. Lucas
Romig, age 17,living with his grandparents (Lewis and Elizabeth Schuyler) on
a farm in Limestone ,PA. This may be your Luke. Try to find some records
from Montour County, PA.
By the way where do you live? Just being nosy.
Good Luck., Mary Ellen

Mary Ellen,
Thanks for the reply on my surnames. Morriss family would be arriving in Baltimore from Ireland at Locust Point around 1884. On daughter Annie Morris would be around 16 (b. 1868). Father's name Peter - Mother's name Bridgid. Luke Romig from PA - he was born in 1865 where in PA I do not know. Have had no luck tracing Luke at all. Vernon Garrison from Hanover Street - not sure of birth date.
Thanks for any information.

I do not know what wards and precincts are in Locust Point. First names

over 300 Morris', No Romigs though.
The Maryland State has many of the church records on microfilm in Annapolis.

Myers family of Baltimore Maryland 1856 through now
I'm looking for members of my grandmother's family. She was Isabelle Myers b. 5/29/1892 in Baltimore. Her father was Joseph Albert Myers I (1856-1919) and her mother was Grace Forrest McKay (MacKay) (1859-1905). Grace's father was William McKay who was a Trustee of the United Presbyterian Church in Baltimore in the late 1800s. Isabelle was one of 9 children, including Genevieve (b. 1883), Wielimena (Aunt Billy) (b. 1890), and Joseph Albert Myers II (b. 2/7/1905). Aunt Billy married Joseph P. Ripley and had a daughter Jeanne Ripley who married Charles Spoerer. If anyone knows of any members of this family please have them contact me. I'd appreciate any information you can give me and would gladly share what I have!

Thankyou so very much for your very informative reply. I had no idea that the incident would have been recorded anywhere in such detail.
Would you have any idea if the author Charles Stein is still alive, and perhaps willing to answer queries?
I have an interesting parallel to this story in Australia, at the time of the Ballarat Stockade, when a Frank HASLEHAM was injured. He was a reporter, not directly involved in the events which were a precursor to loosening ties with the monarchy and direct UK rule. Frank went on the become an acclaimed theatre critic and author. Again, no direct descent to me, but certainly a member of my ancestral family. With such an unusual surname any occurrence is sure to be of the family.
I am relatively new to genealogy and am finding it a fascinating, if time consuming and rather expensive "hobby" which is leading me to learn and research far more than I had ever imagined either likely or possible when I began.
Yours Joy Wilkins

According to Charles Stein's history of Calvert County, the increasing number
of colonists were demanding services like military protection (there had been
serious fighting with the Susquehannock Indians in 1675), which necessitated
the increase of taxes. The tax increase was extremely unpopular, leading to
unrest, especially by the small planters, who could not afford to pay.
According to Stein, "This unrest became so serious in 1676 that it reached
the point of insurrection in Calvert County. The immediate cause of the
trouble is obscure, but it took the form of a mutiny in the Calvert County
Militia. A detachment of Militia was sent to the region of the Cliffs,
probably to seize the plantations of some planters who were delinquent in
their taxes. The Militiamen, sympathizing with the plight of the planters,
mutinied. They informed their Commander, Captain Henry Jowles, that they
would not obey his orders. They menaced Jowles with cocked muskets and
threatened to shoot him. The mutineers took up a position on the plantation
of Thomas Barnaby on the Cliffs, and drew up a petition which they sent to
the Governor and Council, requesting relief from taxes. The leaders of the
insurrection were Ensign Davis, of the Militia, William Gent, Giles Haslehan
[sic], and John Pake."
Stein goes on that the Governor and Council did not receive the petition
favorably. After a brief skirmish the insurgents surrendered. Davis fled to
Delaware, where he was arrested. The leaders were all found guilty of
sedition and armed insurrection. Davis and Pake were hanged as traitors, and
"the others were let off with minor punishment."

Hello,
I have just joined the list and wonder of somebody might be able to help me with my search.
I discovered the name Giles HASLEHAM amongst the 1676 Maryland State Archives during a Google search for my maiden name. (Pronounced Haze-lamb)
He along with Messrs Gent, Pate and Davyes and were charged with sedition and mutiny. The sum of two thousand pounds of tobacco was placed on each of their heads.
I have contacted the help mail address at the archives and been directed straight back to their pages.
Can anybody suggest where I might find any more detail than that shown at great length in the archives, such as exactly what these people were demanding, and what happened to them?
Can anybody tell me what was happening in Maryland at the time, to cause such unrest?
I have pasted the links below this message, with some items from each of the pages I found, excluding the indexes.
Many thanks.
