- Blubaugh book by Rev. Homer D. Blubaugh:
"The earliest record of any Blueback/Blubaugh in the Colonies is of a Jacob in Frederick Co., Maryland. Records at the 'Hall of Records' in Annapolis list military (1759), court, taking the 'Oath of Fidelity' and two deed records.
A. An entry about Edward Logsdon, born about 1709 in Maryland, in the book, "Pioneer Families of Colonial America" by John Hubert Doty, mentions that "He was listed as a Private on Capt. Thomas Norris' muster Rolls in 1759 along with his brothers, John Logsdon and Thomas Logsdon Jr., (pg. 350); and William Durbin and Jacob Blubaugh (pg. 349)."
B. Jacob Blubough, on March 20, 1767, is enrolled in the 'Maryland Colonial Muster Roll' of Capt. Thomas Norris in Frederick Co. Jacob is paid 1 pound, 1 shilling of money for a 'bill of credit,' probably his pay for one year. On the same page, under March 27, 1767, under the same captain are the names of John Logsdon, Thomas Logsdon Jr., Edward Logsdon, William Logsdon, corporal, and Abraham Yingland. - Doc. MDHR 2380, pg. 167, of "Maryland Colonial Payroll, 1767-76." Only this one year's record of payroll survives.
C. Jocob Bluobaugh, on April 17, 1770, appears in Frederick Co. Court, Testamant Proceedings, Liber 43, Folio 542, record filed on June 14, 1770 reads, "The following returns were exhibietd from Frederick Co. by Thomas Bowles, Gov't Deputy, Comissary, there to wit, ... 'Peter Slorpo, his will and Testament bond by Peter Woner and Peter Crowl, and his Executors with John Werball and Jacob Bluobaugh, their surities in the sum of 200 pounds (L) Sterling."
D. Purchase of land, "Weedings/Weddings Choice," from William Winchester, John Christman, David Shriver, and John Logsdon of Frederick Co., MD., on Nov. 17, 1772. On Dec. 10, 1772, a Disposition was taken on the Bible of the following: John Logsdon Jr., age 57 years; Ralph Logsdon, age 36; and James White, age 42, regarding the exact location of two boundary trees no longer alive/standing. This deed is finaly recorded on March 22, 1773. - Folio "P", pp. 680-82.
E. A record from the Mormon Genealogical Library at Salt Lake City (Source, Compact Disc #1, 'US and Canada): Christina Blubach, born 1767, died 1837, was christened on Nov. 27, 1776 either at St. Benjamin or Krider's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Pipe's Creek, Carroll Co., Maryland. The parents of Christina are Jacob and Christina Blubach.
F. Purchase of land began on Dec. 5, 1783, recorded June 5, 1784, by Jacob Bluobaugh, farmer, from Charles Ridgely, esquire, son of John, of Baltimore Co., MD., for the consideration of forty pounds, currant money, taken in hand and paid by Jacob Blewbaugh for land called "Bond's Meadow Enlargoo", on land touching "Fanny's Meadow". Part of this land contains 20 acres, yet it says "the two parcels being laid off for 73 acres," which is conveyed to Jacob Blewbough and his heirs. -Folio "WR-4", pp. 313-15.
Later, on Jan. 13, 1791, Ludwick Wampler, innkeeper, buys the land, "Bond's Meadow Enlarged" from Benjamin Blueback, farmer and late of Frederick Co., MD., for the sum of 10 pounds. - Folio WR-9, pg.587.
The immediate question is when, why, and how Jacob Bluebaugh (who purchased this land in 1783/84) gave up title to this same property? What is the relationship of Jacob to Benjamin (father - son?) A mystery is that connected to this Deed Record is the notation, ... "on Nov. 25, 1790... At the same time came forth the wife of the said Benjamin Bluback, who being examined by us (two Justices of Frederick Co., one G. Winchester) out of the hearing of her said husband, relinquished all her rights of dower to the said land..." An attached document lists the wife's name as "Eve" - Folio WR-9, pg. 588.
[NOTE by REK: the above questioning of the wife was to ensure that she agreed to the sale of land which otherwise would have supported her if her husband predeceased her. This was known as the "dower right", and it was the only insurance a woman had against poverty after her husband died.]
G. Jacob Bluobaugh appears on March 1778 in the Frederick Co. 'Court Minute Book' of 1778-79, page 263, when he, "among others, make their appearance in open court and gave reasons which the court deemed satisfactory why they did not take the 'Oath of Fidelity' and Support of the State of Maryland, and who respect the same court."
H. Apparently Jacob changes his mind, for in April 1778 in Frederick Co., Folio 13, D-B, he takes the "Oath before the Magistrate, as mentioned below and paid to the Frederick Court for the Support of Washingon and Montgomery Counties." (This entry record is within the bounds of Old Frederick Co., Bk - '3573 Patriotic Citizens by G. M. Brumbaugth.)
I. Jacob Blewbaugh is mentioned on May 1, 1792 in the 'May Term of the Frederick Co. Court, ' as "Debtor Record, Folio B-24, page 518, Index 59". This concerns a loan/debt incurred March 1770, now re: the Estate of Charles Ridgely, son of John." On May 1, 1775 a request is made for the payment of 2 pounds from Jacob. Later, in 1783/84 Jacob buys land from Chas Ridgely at a payment in hand of 40 pounds. On May 1792 Jacob pays this 2 pounds to Charles' Estate.
[NOTE by REK: the Will below indicates that Jacob had died in 1788, so the above item probably refers to Jacob Jr.]
