  Notes	This couple and their children are all buried at Christ Episcopal Church in Owensville, MD. From J. Harris Franklin's Notes: "One of the most delightful of families, perfect in their relationships at home and loved by all who knew them. It was a treat for young and old to visit their home ‘Essex' in West River, for in their quiet way something was always being done for your pleasure and amusement whle there. They were for ever doing something for others, black and white, rich and poor they were for ever looking after in times of stress. Service for other seemed to be their motto." [4]
