Carroll County

My fifth great-grandparents Elizabeth ANGEL before 1754-1821 and Johann ZUMBRUN before 1755-1819, to Taneytown, Carroll County, Maryland, about 10 miles south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with the historic 1776 Dobbin House Tavern nearby. John ZUMBRUN is listed as an Elder in history of the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. Interesting to note in this history at the 1811 dedication of the first brick church, that a German speaking pastor hoped English would NEVER be spoken in his church! My how times change.

Elizabeth's parents Philip Karl ANGEL (Charles ENGELL) between 1723-40 to before 1811 and Juliana between 1727-1737 to between 1783-1786 of Carroll County, Maryland
