It is often intriguing to speculate about any reasons for the choice of epitaph, cited scripture, or craft of monument - some of them being quite ingenious or ornate. This volume continues a series of tombstone inscriptions taken from monuments within the present limits of the City of Alexandria. It contains background discussion, inscription and support data for the following burial grounds: Bethel Cemetery. Bethel Cemetery was established in 1885 and is the resting place for over 10,000 burials. Data was taken from tombstones and burial permits. Each entry may include date of death and birth, age, cause of death, plot location, burial permit number, residence, lace of birth, and place of death.

Richard Plummer Jackson (1816-1891) relates to the reader the history from the era of Indian settlement, establishment as a significant Maryland port for Potomac River trade, and the loss of its charter when absorbed into the City of Washington in the District of Columbia. The Chronicler gleaned information from the citizens of Georgetown, among whom he was born and reared. Although this work was not intentionally biographical in nature, it describes the key players in events which founded this early center of commerce. The opening chapter presents historical background, while subsequent chapters describe the effects of adverse weather on people and trade; construction of canals, bridges and aqueducts; establishment of banks and civic positions; fires and fire companies; churches and cemeteries—for both white and colored persons; the College, Monastery, libraries and schools; and social organizations.

The remains of children were moved to join the burial place of their families; notable figures were often buried were they died, then moved to their long-term residence or place of birth; and many graves were moved when their original burial site was abandoned, condemned, or disturbed. The practice of moving remains but leaving monuments added to the challenge for researchers. Monuments are expensive to move and reset, so they were frequently discarded. The Presbyterian Burying Ground, one of the oldest public cemeteries in the Potomac valley, is the primary focus here. There may never be a complete record of burials, but this volume begins the reconstruction with a wealth of information gleaned from several different record groups. A brief history of the Presbyterian Burying Ground, a facsimile reprint of a surviving map, a list of plot owners, and a plat of square 103 (1887) is followed by entries for known burials and possible burials. These entries contain varying amounts of information. A brief history of Holmead's Burying Ground (Western Burying Ground) and entries for known burials there is followed by entries for burials removed from private burial grounds and \"Other Removals.\" A full name, place, and subject index; charming period illustrations, maps, and vintage photographs enhance the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWesley E.

Newspapers printed in Georgetown covered commercial and social activities for both sides of the Potomac River, government activities in the City of Washington, and tidbits of foreign news. Perhaps surprisingly, editors of Georgetown newspapers often subscribed to newspapers from cities up and down the eastern seaboard of the United States, and routinely inserted marriage and death notices they deemed of interest to their audiences. This compilation reflects marriage and death notices in nine newspapers that were published in Georgetown during the period 1801-1838.

Perhaps a misleading title-the records were kept for instances where the remains were handled by a District of Columbia undertaker or the remains were in other ways associated with a District of Columbia burying ground.

Schedule I of the Census was the result of original returns created by assistant marshals collecting data about the white and free colored population. Slave schedules were created separately. The jurisdiction of Georgetown boundaries in 1842 were the Potomac River to the south, Rock Creek to the east, the bridge across the Potomac at the Little Falls to the northwest, and to the poor-house tract called \"Pretty Prospect' adjacent to Beatty and Hawkins addition to the town to the north.
