St. Mary Anne's Church. This is the west side of the church. The Vestry House is on the left of the photo. |
Interior of the church as seen through the window. |
Some of the tombstones can be seen in the foreground. The Vestry house is located on the right with the flag next to it. |

Random drive-by comment! I was looking for information on the Lowndes headstone. I was at St. Mary Anne's yesterday and was struck by the headstone adorned by the Stars and Bars. (Yes, the three-striped flag with the canton of stars in a circle. They've obviously changed the flag they display in the last five years.)
ReplyDeleteIn the picture you have captioned "Some of the tombstones can be seen
in the foreground," the large headstone is that of my great-great-great-grandparents Levi and Margaret Reynolds. I know very little about them, except that he was from Virginia originally (according to his death certificate), she was from Pennsylvania, and they married in Oxford, Pennsylvania in 1860.
Isn't history interesting! I love that little church in one of my favorite little towns in Maryland. I was just there Sunday with friends to walk the main street and visit a few of the shops in town. I am a member of St. James Episcopal in Lancaster, PA which was founded in 1744. Great church with history to it just as St. Mary Anne's Church. Next time I get down to North East, I will visit once again and view the tombstone of your relatives. Thanks for writing. LDub.
