The Emittsburg, Frederick Co., Maryland PEDDICORD Family

(revised 8 May 1998)

A number of Peddicord researchers descend apparently from the line of George Greenburry Peddicord. Several researchers such as Wanda Reed, Cindy Duhamel & Pam Thomas have contributed to the information on this page. Some of the linages is speculative and will need further work.

Greenbury (perhaps actually named George Greenbury) Peddicord is probably the the son of Jasper Peddicord & Becky Belt) and married Sophia Dorsey in Frederick Co. MD. Greenburry Peddicord died in March 1850 at age 74 of choic. He was born in MD and married at the time of his death. According to Marriage Licenses of Frederick County 1778-1810 by Margaret E. Meyers, George PETTICOAT & Sophia DORSEY had a marriage license issued 6 Dec 1797. There is a group of church records for the Emittsburg area in Frederick Co. which seems to tie together this family. Greenbury Peddicord seemed to have significant finanical problems. In the 8 Aug 1812 edition of Bartgis's Republican Gazette Greenbury Pedicoard of Frederick Co is listed as filing an application for relief from debts. and the 2 Oct 1813 edition of this paper lists that Greenburry PEDICORD was to apply for final relief from debts. There was a suit by David Morrison vs. Greenbury PETTYCORD in Frederick County, an injunction was granted but subpeona issued and continued until struck off by complainants on 10 Nov 1819. I have not found any information on his wife's linage, though they are likely distant cousins as most of the Dorsey family in Frederick Co. descend from Edward Dorsey the immigrant. Their family appears to be:
