On page 180 of Vol. 2 of the book, Inhabitants of Frederick County Maryland,
is a long list of names of men who paid fees to the local sheriff, recorded
at March Court 1780. In the middle of this long list were the names, in
order, of SAMUEL TANNER, NATHANIEL BURKETT, HENRY ELLER, SAMUEL GARVER,
CHRISTIAN HARTER, JACOB ACKERMAN, PETER CRAMPECKER (sic). These names are
obviously Brethren, and perhaps they were neighbors, but other than that,
what might they have in common? What stories connect them?

If memory serves me correctly, Christian Harter married into the Henry Eller
family. Also, Peter Crampecker/Crumpacker/Crumbacker married into the Fouts
family that had left Maryland for North Carolina. My primary interest is
Nathanial Burkett. He stayed back in Frederick, Maryland, while his father
and his brothers accompanied the Fouts families to North Carolina. What
happened to this Nathanial Burkett?
