COULD I PLEASE ASK FOR SOMEONES HELP OUT THERE? IT SEEMS I’VE RAN INTO A PROBLEM CONCERNING MY ANCESTRY! I RECENTLY FOUND OUT MY FOREFATHER WAS CHARLES SHIPLEY BORN 1854 IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. HE WAS A REAL-ESTATE BROKER BY TRADE AND ALSO A DEVELOPER AND CO-FOUNDER OF THURMONT, MARYLAND. HOWEVER I’VE BEEN INFORMED BY A HISTORIAN SEEKING A PHOTOGRAPH OF HIM AN ABSOLUTE TO NO AVAIL SITUATION. HE PREVIOUSLY OWNED THE HISTORIC MANSION OF SHIPLEY-LYDECKER HOUSE IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND AND SOLD THE PROPERTY TO THE LYDECKER FAMILY BACK IN 1906 AND I SPOKE TO MR. LYDECKERS DAUGHTER WHO ONLY HAD A PHOTO OF HER FATHER RIDING A HORSE IN FRONT OF THE MANSION. CAN ANYONE BE OF ANY HELP WHATSOEVER IN THE WHOLE ORDEAL, AS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! PLEASE CALL ME WITH ANY INFORMATION ON THE MATTER I HAVE WANTED TO SEE IF I FAVOR MY GREAT GRANDFATHER FOR YEARS NOW.
THANKS AGAIN (JAMES CONNELLY)
Be happy to tell you what I know in reference to Mr. Shipley in Thurmont, and perhaps you can lead me to an image so I can finally put a face to a name!
Most Sincerely,
Chris
