Roots

St. Lukes Methodist church Cemetery St. Michaels MD

Semi check off of my maternity leave to do list / Bucket list

At the top of my bucket list is tracking down part of my

grandmothers roots. We have a family legend I guess you could

say., we have paperwork that tells the story of what we call the

Chamberlain Line. Basically it's a written note

 (this is a brief description of what is written) that tells about our descendants

Aaron Chamberlain and Lady Louise Brice. Lady Louise Brice's father was

the Earl of Slago. She grew up near Lisbon. She was disinherited because

she married (Aaron Chamberlain) a man of no title in 1812

 Aaron Chamberlain was from Boston, and Super-Cargoist. 

They went on to settle in Baltimore and ended up in Talbot County

where Louise ended up living with her oldest daughter Elizabeth.

Anyway, the apparently the tombs of Louise Brice Chamberlain

and some of her children were moved from a family farm to this cemetery

in St. Michaels St. Luke's Methodist church. My brother and I used to go

to sunday school here & preschool. I set out the other day and

decided baby and I would see if we could find the grave sites to some of these

descendants.  A ton of graves to look thru while trying to maneuver a stroller around a cemetery was interesting. I had just about given up and

on my way out of the cemetery I took what looked like an old walkway

out of the cemetery. And came across one of the stones. 

How lucky was that. I found a couple of the ones I was looking for

and a marker with the last names but no first names or dates ??

So my search continues., It is nice to have record of some of birth & deceased dates for our family records. I am going to continue looking for more information and would love to find out the site of the family farm where they

were originally buried.
