I am a brother of JOHN MORT, deceased, who was a private in the 96th Regiment Pa. Vols. I was in the 84th Regiment Pa. Vols. Our Regiment, the 84th, was lying in Alexandria Virginia when the 96th Regiment under Gen. McLellan returned from the seven days fight in retreat. My brother John Mort, when I met him first about one week after he arrived in Alexandria, was in the hospital at Alexandria. He was in very bad health at the time, and suffering from chronic diarrhea. He was so weak that he could not stand alone when I saw him. I received my discharge at Alexandria and left there for Washington to receive my pay, and left my brother John in the hospital at Alexandria. When I received my pay I started home to Ashland Schuylkill County, Pa. My brother John returned home some weeks after that. He come home much reduced, weak, and sick. The diarrhea stuck to him until he died, about a month or six weeks after he returned (July 22, 1863 date of death as per Doctor John H. Yocum, attending physician). He never worked after he returned. His physician’s name was Doctor John H. Yocum. He attended to him in his last days of illness. I don’t know where Doctor Yocum lives now. I have not seen him for 10 years. I was at the funeral of my brother John Mort when he was buried with the Honors of War. I know Mrs. Mary Ann Mort, his widow. I was at the wedding when Mary Ann and my brother John were married at Tuscarora, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania by Aaron Reber, J.O.P. His widow, Mrs. Mary Ann Mort is still living and has three children living, Fanny, George, and John. Fanny Mort was born on the 16th day of May A.D. 1854. George Mort, the second child, was born April 25th 1856, and Jno. Mort was born February 21st 1860. In answer, I am in no way interested in the result of the application of Mrs. Mary Ann Mort in Pension Claim no.181,225. I expect no benefit from the result in any way.

PAGE 6**** State of Pennsylvania Schuylkill County Personally appeared before me one of the J.O.P.s in and for Schuylkill County, Mrs. Mary J. Wetzel, wife of Daniel K. Wetzel, who being produced by the claimant as a witness, and after being duly sworn, deposeth as follows. I am 42 years of age and have lived in the Borough of Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pa. for 27 years. I am aquainted with Mrs. MARY ANN MORT, widow of JOHN MORT, deceased; now living in the state of Ohio, and have been aquainted intimately with both Mrs. Mary ann Mort the claimant for pension in number 181,225 and also her husband, John Mort, now deceased for 27 years and upwards. They having lived the most of that time in the place Ashland and close neighbors of mine. I knew Mrs. Mort before she was married to John Mort. I remember well the time that John Mort enlisted in the military service of the Untied States. It was in the year of 1861. He appeared to be enjoying good health at the time, and was considered a healthy man. I can’t tell how long Mort was in the service of the United States, but he was absent some 18 months before he returned home. When he returned home, he came home weak and sick with chronic diarrhea. I had heard repeatedly from his brother GEORGE MORT that John Mort, husband of the claimant, was sick in the Army and that he was suffering much from the disease. This I heard from different ones. I can’t tell exactly how long John Mort lived after his return home, but it was not many months. I would say only about 4-5 months. He died as I was informed and believe from the said disease. He was buried in this place. He was buried by the soldiers with Military Honors. I know that Mary Ann Mort, widow of John Mort is still a widow and has 3 children living. I have no interest in this case. Sworn and subscribed before me Mary J. Wetzel this 23rd day of February A.D.1878 John McCarty_____________________________ History of Schuylkill County, PA: W. W.

Here he has resided since a boy of four or five years. He was born on the Walter farm in Emmittsburg District, Frederick County, January 16, 1850. He is a son of William and Catharine (Oler) Mort. "George Mort, the grandfather of William H. Mort, was a day laborer. He was twice married. His first wife was a Miss Fox, a sister of Balser Fox, of the neighborhood of Creagerstown. After her death, Mr. Mort was married again. By the first marriage, he had one child, William, and by the second he was the father of several children. "William Mort, son of George Mort, was an infant when his mother died and he was taken by an aunt. He lived among strangers until he went to his trade. He was given a common school education and when about fourteen years old went to learn the trade of a stone mason. This occupation he followed for many years, until he bought a farm, now owned by his son. Even afterwards he engaged at his trade occasionally. When he finished his trade he did not have money enough to buy tools. For a time he worked for William Ogle, a contractor at Union Bridge. Mr. Mort also did some contracting for himself, erecting many lime kilns. After his marriage, he made his home at various places until 1854, when he purchased the place on which he lived until he retired to Thurmont. At that place he died in 1887, and is buried at Rocky Cemetery. He used his influence to advance the interests of the Republican party. He held membership in the Lutheran Church. Mr. Mort was married near Bridgeport, Frederick County, to Catharine Oler, who was born and raised near that place. Her parents were Frederick and Peggy (Lynn) Oler. She died at her sister’s, Mrs. Powell, near Creagerstown, in 1889. She was a Lutheran in religion. By this marriage were born four children; Frances Anna, the wife of Simon Lohr, of Thurmont; Frederick, who died at Loy’s Station, Frederick County, married Mary Pusey; William Henry; and George, died aged two years. "William Henry Mort, son of William and Catharine (Oler) Mort, received his education at Grove’s Academy near his home. At the age of twenty he quit school. He worked for his father on the farm until he was thirty-six years old. After his marriage in 1886, he worked away from the home farm for three years. He then bought the homestead, and here he has since been engaged in rural pursuits. His home was built in the early forties by John Miller. The barn was put up by his father in 1870. Mr. Mort is a farmer who thoroughly understands his vocation and he received large returns from his labors. He is highly thought of in the community in which he resides. "In 1886, Mr. Mort was married to Seraphine Elizabeth Ceas, daughter of Nathaniel and Rebecca Ann (McKissick) Ceas. She is a native of Hauver’s District, Frederick County. Mr. and Mrs. Mort are affiliated with the Luth- eran Church at Rocky Ridge, in which he has served in the capacity of a deacon several times. They have no issue." "History of Frederick County, Maryland, Vol. II" Thomas John Chase Williams, L. R. Titsworth & Co., 1910, pp. 1446-7 CHARLES C. PUTMAN, who is numbered among the enterprising and successful young farmers of Creagerstown District, is a native of Lewistown District, Frederick County, where he was born October 31, 1881. He is a son of Green- berry H. and Ida R. (Joy) Putman. "John J. Putman, Sr., the great-grandfather of our subject, was among the well-known and prominent farmers of the Middletown Valley, Frederick County. He lived near what is now Harmony. His aprents were of German birth and came to America, going to live in Middletown Valley, where he was reared and became a highly respected citizen. His wife was Annie F. Summers, by whom he had six children that grew to mature years: Amanda, the wife of Henry Coblentz, a farmer of Middletown District; Samuel, followed farming in Woods- boro District, and is now deceased; John J., Jr.; Annie E., the deceased wife of the late Leander Stull, of Creagerstown District; Julia, married Lewis P. Ramsburg, of Walkersville, both deceased; and Hezekiah, deceased, of Frederick City. In religion, the family were members of the Lutheran Church. "John J. Putman Jr., son of John J. and Annie E. (Summers) Putman, received a common school education and was engaged in rural pursuits all his life. He began for himself by cultivating one of his father’s farms in Creagers- town District, now owned by A. J. Hankey. This place he successfully man- aged for some time, and then purchased it. It contained 145 acres of good farm land, and was located about one mile south of Creagerstown. He later disposed of this tract and bought a fine farm near Utica, whither he removed. This property he also sold, and returned to the home farm in Middletown Valley, where he stayed until his parents died. Mr. Putman then bought the old McDaniel farm, on the Utica road, in Lewistown District. This farm he later sold to his son, J. Frederick, and it is now owned by H. L. Gaver. Mr. Putman then went to live on the M. J. Grove farm in Buckeystown District and remained there six years. He then made sale and later secured by purchase a small tract in Lewistown District, which is now owned by his daughter. The remainder of his days was spent here. His death occurred in October, 1907, and he was buried in the Luteran Cemetery at Utica. In politics, Mr. Putman was stanch in his support of the Democracy. He was a member of the Evangeli- cal Lutheran Church of Utica, where he held office for a number of years. Mr. Putman was married to Rebecca Shriver. By this marriage there were twelve children, eleven of whom grew up: John J., of Tuscarora district; Greenberry H.; Annie E., widow of John Warner, and now the wife of Cornelius Derr, of Lewistown District.; Elmer E., a resident of Cripple Creek, Cal.; J. Frederick; Laura C., married Henry Black, deceased, of Buckeystown Dist- rict; Julia M., married to George O’Neil, a farmer of Middletown District; Minnie, deceased; Lewis W., engaged in agriculture in Frederick District; Calvin L.; and Dessie E., the wife of William E. Miller, a merchant of Frederick. "Greenberry H. Putman, son of John J. and Rebecca (Shriver) Putman, is a well known farmer of Frederick District, whose sketch appears in this work. He was married to Ida R. Joy. "Charles C. Putman, son of Greenberry H. and Ida R. (Joy) Putman, received his education in the public schools of his native county. The first place he managed was a farm of his father in Creagerstown District, where he made his home for a short time. He then bought his present farm of 60 acres from John Joy. This property is situated south-east of Creagerstown on the turn- pike to Woodsboro. He uses up-to-date and practical methods, and has re- ceived large returns from his labors. Mr. Putman’s farm is a very desirable piece of realty. He also owns a small place, west of Creagerstown. He owes his success in life to hard work an dclose application to business. "Mr. Putman lends his influence to the candidates of the Democratic party. He is a member of the Fraternal Mystic Circle of Creagerstown. In religious affairs, he is affiliated with the Mount Tabor Lutheran Church of Rocky Ridge. "Mr. Putman was married to Bessie N. Mort, daughter of the late Frederick and Mary (Pusey) Mort. Her father was a prominent farmer of Loy’s Station, Creagerstown District. She is also a member of the Lutheran Church. There is no issue by this union."

Farmer’s Canting Songs and Slang Rhymes Towre Out Ben MortsTowre Out Ben Morts1610 By SAMUEL ROWLANDS in “Martin Mark-all, Beadle of Bridewell: His Defence and Answere to the Belman of London”. I Towre out ben morts & towre, [1] look-out, good women; Looke out ben morts & towre, For all the Rome coues are budgd a beake, [2] all the Rome-coves [Notes] have run away [Notes] And the quire coves tippe the lowre.

[7] taken to gaol. III Out budgd the Coue of the ken, [8] crept; master of the house With a ben filtch in his quarr’me [9] staff; hand. That did the prigg good that bingd in the kisome, [10] went to search for the man who had given the alarm. To towre the Coue budge alar’me. NotesSamuel Rowlands, a voluminous writer circa 1570-1628, though little known now, nevertheless kept the publishers busy for thirty years, his works selling readily for another half century. Not the least valuable of his numerous productions from a social and antiquarian point of view is Martin Mark-All, Beadle of Bridewell; his Defence and Answere to the Belman of London (see both Notes ante). Martin Markall delivers himself of a vivid and “originall” account of “the Regiment of Rogues, when they first began to take head, and how they have succeeded one the other successively unto the sixth and twentieth year of King Henry the Eighth, gathered out of the Chronicle of Crackropes” etc. He then criticizes somewhat severely the errors and omissions in Dekker’s Canting glossary, adding considerably to it, and finally joins issue with the Belman in an attempt to give “song for song”. Dekker’s “Canting Rhymes” (plagiarised from Copland) and “The Beggar’s Curse” thus apparently gave birth to the present verses and to those entitled “The Maunder’s Wooing” that follow. Stanza I, line i. Ben = Lat. bene = good. Mort =
a woman, chaste or not. Line 3. Rome-cove = “a great rogue” (B.
E., Dict. Cant. Crew, 1690), i.e., an organizer, or the
actual perpetrator of a robbery: quire-cove = a subordinate
thief—the money had passed from the actual thief to his confederate.
Rom (or rum) and quier (or queer) enter
largely into combination, thus—rom = gallant, fine, clever,
excellent, strong; rom-bouse = wine or strong drink;
rum-bite = a clever trick or fraud; rum-blowen = a handsome
mistress; rum-bung = a full purse; rum-diver = a clever
pickpocket; rum-padder = a well-mounted highwayman, etc.: also
queere = base, roguish; queer-bung = an empty purse;
queer-cole = bad money; queer-diver = a bungling
pickpocket; queer-ken = a prison; queer-mart = a
foundered whore, and so forth. Budge = a general verb of
action, usually stealthy action: thus, budge a beak = to give
the constable the slip, or to bilk a policeman; to budge out
(or off) = to sneak off; to budge an alarm = to give
warning. Nearby

Some of the listings are quite informative while others, being dismissed, may only have the date and name of plantiff and defendant. However, the cases brought before the judge consisted of sworn testimony and each one holds a story. Perhaps you will find a story connected to your search. Folio 197-204 dated 12 May 1817 - Adam SNOOK & others vs Margaret MORT & John MORT of Christopher This bill was filed to obtain decree for sale. Margaret MORT and John MORT of Christopher were said to be "out of the state of Maryland" and were minors and needed a guardain assigned. All plantiffs and defendants were tenants-in-common. (Oddly, I did not find the parents of these individuals noted even though it appeared to me they were brothers and sisters.) Land - part of tract "Morts Lott" which was part of "Resurvey on Mackey’s Choice" (100 ac); "Resurvey on Welsh Cabin"(8 3/4 ac); "Resurvey on Mackey’s Choice" (12 3/4 ac); part of "Long Snake" (22 1/2 ac); all contiguous. Sale was published in the Political Examiner in Fredericktown and continued til October. Sale was held in Middleburgh on 14 Jan 1818 with Adam SNOOK being the highest bidder paying $3,280.36. (I didn’t find the exact relationship to Adam SNOOK noted - perhaps he was the husband to a deceased sister or was a neighbor who had bought out some of the others. It was stated he possessed three undivided parts of 7 parts which may indicate he had bought out two other siblings or was a neighbor and bought out three of the heirs. Heirs listed - 1.

Land Record Abstracts - Liber WW-1 1837-1838
Since Carroll County was formed in 1837, this is the first book of land
records recorded in that county. The majority of these listings indicate
whether the land previously had been in Frederick or Baltimore County.
Many times, family relationships are listed and there is usually a good
reference to the previous land holders and surrounding land tract names.
An every-name index is included which also contains the names of the land
tracts. Even a couple of references to family graveyards were found.
This book of abstracts is useful in locating ancestors and land previously
owned by them, and possibly even a link to family relationships. Since all
abstracts are subject to interpretation by the compiler, it is necessary
to obtain a copy of the deed or record itself, for verification of all facts
and interpretations as well as obtaining the metes and bounds. This book
should prove useful in learning which records are needed for your research.
Note: All entries are deeds and all parties are from Carroll County -
unless noted otherwise. The first entry starts on page (folio) 5.
Abbreviations: pt = part; dtd = dated; cm = current money

"WILLIAM HENRY MORT, who is among the prosperous and esteemed citizens of Woodsboro District, owns 177 acres of fine land, situated five miles north of the town of Woodsboro. Here he has resided since a boy of four or five years. He was born on the Walter farm in Emmittsburg District, Frederick County, January 16, 1850. He is a son of William and Catharine (Oler) Mort. "George Mort, the grandfather of William H. Mort, was a day laborer. He was twice married. His first wife was a Miss Fox, a sister of Balser Fox, of the neighborhood of Creagerstown. After her death, Mr. Mort was married again. By the first marriage, he had one child, William, and by the second he was the father of several children. "William Mort, son of George Mort, was an infant when his mother died and he was taken by an aunt. He lived among strangers until he went to his trade. He was given a common school education and when about fourteen years old went to learn the trade of a stone mason. This occupation he followed for many years, until he bought a farm, now owned by his son. Even afterwards he engaged at his trade occasionally. When he finished his trade he did not have money enough to buy tools. For a time he worked for William Ogle, a contractor at Union Bridge. Mr. Mort also did some contracting for himself, erecting many lime kilns. After his marriage, he made his home at various places until 1854, when he purchased the place on which he lived until he retired to Thurmont. At that place he died in 1887, and is buried at Rocky Cemetery. He used his influence to advance the interests of the Republican party. He held membership in the Lutheran Church. Mr. Mort was married near Bridgeport, Frederick County, to Catharine Oler, who was born and raised near that place. Her parents were Frederick and Peggy (Lynn) Oler. She died at her sister’s, Mrs. Powell, near Creagerstown, in 1889. She was a Lutheran in religion. By this marriage were born four children; Frances Anna, the wife of Simon Lohr, of Thurmont; Frederick, who died at Loy’s Station, Frederick County, married Mary Pusey; William Henry; and George, died aged two years. "William Henry Mort, son of William and Catharine (Oler) Mort, received his education at Grove’s Academy near his home. At the age of twenty he quit school. He worked for his father on the farm until he was thirty-six years old. After his marriage in 1886, he worked away from the home farm for three years. He then bought the homestead, and here he has since been engaged in rural pursuits. His home was built in the early forties by John Miller. The barn was put up by his father in 1870. Mr. Mort is a farmer who thoroughly understands his vocation and he received large returns from his labors. He is highly thought of in the community in which he resides. "In 1886, Mr. Mort was married to Seraphine Elizabeth Ceas, daughter of Nathaniel and Rebecca Ann (McKissick) Ceas. She is a native of Hauver’s District, Frederick County. Mr. and Mrs. Mort are affiliated with the Luth- eran Church at Rocky Ridge, in which he has served in the capacity of a deacon several times. They have no issue."
