CIVIL WAR WRITING
Writen by J. Engelbrecht, Frederick Maryland, Saturday, July 9 1864 at 5 ½ oclock pm.
The Rebel army or rather the wagon train and its Cavalry and Infantry Guards passed through Frederick this day – the wagons numbered 300 or 400 – they came first about 6 Ock am. From the west (from Hagerstown) and got through about one O’clock pm. – but still Squads of horsemen of 10.p of 20.b have been passing all the time – Where the main army is at this time, we cannot say – as we are completely isolated and can hear nothing from either point of the compass. Except what the Rebs tell us but on that we cannot depend – we had a small engagement at the west end of the town two days ago (July 7, 1864) – but the Union troops all left here last night. – a few days will let us breathe a little freer – at the same time, I would remark the union people of our own do not appear to be very much alarmed – as we had the whole Rebel Army in our town once before (Sept 6, 1862) - the present Army is Commanded they say by genl, Jubal Early.

The Jacob Engelbrecht marriage ledger of Frederick County, Maryland, 1820-1890 Jacob Engelbrecht
The Jacob Engelbrecht property and almshouse ledgers of Frederick County, Maryland Jacob Engelbrecht
The Diary of Jacob Engelbrecht--From 1819 to 1878, Jacob Engelbrecht recorded Frederick County history in the pages of his hand-bound diary. He included topics ranging from national events, such as the Civil War, to those of local importance. He included the activities of his daily life as well as his thoughts about the issues of the day. The diarist also recorded marriages, births, deaths and other milestones of the community. Engelbrecht’s diary provides historians and genealogists a unique opportunity to discover Frederick County’s rich heritage. The hardcover, two-volume version is printed on acid free paper and features an improved presentational format. It also includes a comprehensive index, passages not available in previous publications and translations of German passages.

FENWICK & RINKER Family Bible
This Bible is dated 1830, and there are 4 pages of family records, all pictured below. There were also a sheets of paper inside the Bible with family history. Earle Rinker made an update in 1952, stating the what info was. Earle's mother's maiden name was Mary Isadore Rinker, maiden name Fenwick. There are a bunch of births listed, from 1802 to 1850. There are also a bunch of deaths listed, from 1839 to 1906. This appears mostly be Fenwick family, sometimes spelled Finwick. Some of it is easy to read, some of it is not. The same is true with the sheets of paper. Although the one sheet is actually typed out and dated 1903. This sheet has the born dates for 13 Fenwicks, such as Elizabeth in 1807 and Abigail in 1834. There are also some writte notes next to them, such as Nancy dying at 17 and some mention of Tabitha disappearing.
There is also two sheets with letterhead advertising S.C. Rinker - Breeder of English Berkshire Swine, Langshans and Light-Brahmas. They were located in Daleville, Indiana. S.C. was for Samuel Cleveland, and he married Mary. So, Samuel was Earle's father. A bunch of Rinker birth dates are written on one of the sheets, such as Vivian Rinker in 1885. There is also a very early sheet with more Fenwick births.
Unreadable faded entries of marriage
William Fenwick and my wife Susanna was married jan. 14 1860
Note: Sept. 3, 1952 [different hand]: After my mother lost part of her sight she attempted to trace over date of Wm. and Mary Gilbert Fenwick marriage, see left, The line above "Oct. 1832" reads as follows "..day of Jan. in 1832". The writing was badly faded and my mother Mary Isadore Fenwick Rinker attempted to copy over the original but made mistake. She was d/o Cary Fenwick and granddaughter of Wm and Mary Fenwick.
