Biography:

Rocky Ridge - A small but significant settlement near today's Rocky Ridge opened the way for development of the section of northern Frederick County extending west from Miller's Bridge to Loys Station. The area was near the German Monocacy Road as well as Cartledge's Old Road so that travelers from Pennsylvania bound for Virginia or for Jonathan Hager's place in today's Washington County often encountered here the sole habitation for miles around. The two earliest settlers, Joseph Ogle and Henry Munday, were of English descent, but were born in this country. Both had experienced the rigors of the Conojohelar border "war" and, like Reisner, Bankauf and some of the others, had then sought more peaceful surroundings in the Monocacy area. Both were looked to as leaders. And both eventually had extensive landholdings in the Monocacy area.

Barnes, Robert. Marriages & Deaths from the Maryland Gazette, 1727-1839, Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1973 - available on Ancestry

The Maryland Gazette was first published in Annapolis in 1727 by William Parks. Parks had previously established two newspapers in England: the Ludlow Post-Man in 1719 and the Reading Mercury in 1723. He came to Annapolis in March 1725/6 and shortly thereafter established the Maryland Gazette, which was the first paper to be published south of Pennsylvania. Publication of the Gazette was carried on intermittently until 1734.

Parks held the post of Public Printer in the Province of Maryland from 1727 until 1737. In 1730 he established a press in Williamsburg, Virginia and in 1736 became the editor of the Virginia Gazette. He was also Public Printer of Virginia until 1750, the year of his death.

The Maryland Gazette was re-established in 1745 by Jonas Green, a native of Connecticut and the son of Deacon Timothy Green. . . . 

The Gazette usually consisted of a folded sheet of four pages, with nearly half the space devoted to advertising. News from Europe and from other colonies took up the bulk of the remaining space, with part of one column given over to Annapolis news. Deaths and marriages were sometimes found in this column, but later, when they became a popular feature, they were listed separately under the headings "Marriages' and "Deaths," or as they were waggishly referred to in the early nineteenth century, "The Knot" and "The Knell."  The early issues of the paper carried comparatively few marriage and death notices other than those concerning  prominent citizens.  The inclusion of notices of notices of ordinary citizens was a gradual process.

Fitch, John. Photographing Gravestones, Nexus, Vol. XVI, No. 1.

Consider the matter of the sun being on the wrong side of the subject about half the time. Most tombstones face the west. Take pictures in the afternoon. Noon is standard time, in summer the sun will reach it's zenith at 1:00. Have a picnic and wait for the sun.

Take a tripod and a mirror. The first to steady the camera and the second to use to reflect sunlight onto the tombstone when the sun is not in the right place. The mirror should be about 2' x 4' to work well with all sizes of stones.

Gleason, Michael.  Switch to Gregorian Calendar was Unpopular with Colonists, The Virginia Genealogical Society Newsletter, Vol. XVII, No. 3, May/June 1991.

The last thing Virginians needed in 1752, amid rumors of French & Indian raids along the Ohio River frontier, was a new calendar system that included a new New Year's Day. Still, that's what they got from the British Parliament. 

Great Britain that year adopted the Gregorian calendar, eliminating 11 days and switching New Year's Day from March to January.

Betts, Jerry. Highland Scot Settlers in North Carolina: 1732-1776, The Highlander, Sep/Oct 2003

It was early in the 1730s when Scots began to leave the Highlands in favor of "The New World."  However, it was only after the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden in 1745 - and the resulting British attempts to destroy the clan system - that the pace of emigration became significant.

Most of the earlier setters in North Carolina had come from Virginia and South Carolina because North Carolina's shallow and treacherous coastline was difficult for large ships to navigate. The Scots among these early settlers were primarily Lowlanders.

Highlanders had settled along the Cape Fear River as early as 1724. In 1729, however, the colony of North Carolina was royalized, making the disposal of unclaimed lands the responsibility of crown officials.  The decision was made to award land grants (of 320 or 640 acres) to individuals in the colony who could show themselves capable of cultivating the acreage, and in about 1732 the first real settlement was established.
