DATE SPAN: 01/01/1828 - 12/31/1937
DESCRIPTION: Small quantity of misc notes. Most interesting is an unidentified drawing of a double-spired church, dated 1828. May have been adapted for one of the Pennsylvania churches. Other notes are later excerpts from publications and lists of materials in Province Archives.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1895]? - [12/31/1920]?
DESCRIPTION: These are ca 20 page typed MSS with histories of Conewago and the missions. First written by E.I. Devitt, SJ, they were in some cases borrowed, adapted, and extended by Mark J. Smith, SJ. They provide a good series of sketches as of the turn of the century.
DATE SPAN: 05/31/1919 - 05/31/1919

DATE SPAN: [01/01/1895]? - [12/31/1932]?
DESCRIPTION: Misc. material on the Goshenhoppen Mission, founded in 1741, largely to serve German immigrants. The first pastor and a significant figure was Fr. Theodore Schneider, former Rector Magnificus of the Univ. of Heidelberg. This folder contains MS by E.I. Devitt, SJ, a few clippings, and a booklet published in 1932 on Goshenhoppen, which at different times was also called Churchville and Bally.
DATE SPAN: 09/05/1927 - 09/05/1927
DESCRIPTION: The sole item is a booklet commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of the Congregation and the dedication of the new, third church. It has nothing directly to do with the Maryland Province nor the Pennsylvania missions. A Jesuit of the Province, Rev. Patrick H. Brennan, SJ, was a native of the city and honored at the time of the jubilee.
DATE SPAN: 06/03/1889 - 09/28/1964

DESCRIPTION: Contains a subscription list of those willing to contribute to replace the burned church at Whitemarsh (has some Iglehart names) along with other Iglehart family material--baptismal certificates (in French) from the 1860s, and pew rent receipts, 1856-1890.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1818 - 12/31/1895
DESCRIPTION: Formerly-bound ledger in boards, but binding now disintegrated. (An indexed typed transcription of baptismal section may be found in folder 4.) Burials listed are much later --1870s-1890s--than the baptisms which are only the first four years, 1818-1822.
DATE SPAN: 12/06/1818 - 02/04/1822
DESCRIPTION: Typed transcription with index.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1831]? - [12/31/1831]?
DESCRIPTION: This eleven-page set of "Memoranda" in Kenny's hand largely concerns the spiritual instruction of the novices who were being trained at Whitemarsh at that time. Following is an "Elenchus" in Latin summarizing the sixteen memoranda.
DATE SPAN: 07/06/1853 - 07/16/1872
DESCRIPTION: Photocopies (xeroxes) of Whitemarsh baptismal register. Inital entries by Fr. Dietz. This register mentions that the one in use from 1818 until 1832 was destroyed in a fire, a statement that does not seem accurate considering folder 3.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1833 - 08/31/1836
DESCRIPTION: Bound notebook in boards bearing the title, "Journal of Manuductor at White Marsh. . ." This person was the "straw boss" or leader from the novices who took his orders from the Master of the Novices. The journal begins in English, goes to Latin, changes hands several times, apparently includes entries by James A. Ward, F. Grivel, Wm. F. Clarke, Charles Stonestreet, and perhaps others. The journal reports daily minutiae of the Novices' lives.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1853 - 12/31/1904
DESCRIPTION: Bound notebook within boards; contains not only handwritten entries, but a certain number of clippings pasted in. The entire notebook has been xeroxed and the copy is found in the following folder.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1853 - 12/31/1904

DATE SPAN: 06/06/1917 - 06/06/1917
DESCRIPTION: This is a broadside for a play, "Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Yard," given at White Marsh Hall. A domestic comedy, the performance was to be followed by a strawberry festival and dance, with food for sale--ice cream, custard, pies, etc.
DATE SPAN: [11/25/1903]? - [12/31/1915]?
DESCRIPTION: Holds a ten-page typsescript history of Whitemarsh and Bowie from 1741 until 1915, with a list of the Jesuits who served it as Superiors. In addition, there are notes by Fr. James T. Gardiner, SJ, who participated in the 1903 move.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1890 - 12/31/1969
DESCRIPTION: Clippings, mostly from local newspapers, some from church newspapers, about Whitemarsh and, beginning in the 1950s, about Bowie, Belair, and the Levitts to whom the Jesuits sold much of the Whitemarsh land for development. Most of the Jesuits' former manor now lies under Bowie's tract houses.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1904 - 12/31/1919
DESCRIPTION: After the mission moved from Whitemarsh to Bowie in 1903 the tail, in effect, began to wag the dog. Bowie, then comparatively thriving, and since grown into a huge tract development, completely overshadowed the much older Whitemarsh. Subsequently Bowie became the main parish and served Woodmore and Whitemarsh.
DATE SPAN: 05/26/1790 - 05/17/1821
DESCRIPTION: This and the two following folders contain letters and statements (and contemporary and modern copies) pertaining to the lengthy and complex controversy between Ambrose Marechal, Archbishop of Baltimore (1817-1828), and the Jesuits of Maryland over the rights to the income from properties the Jesuits received in the 18th c. Initially concerning several properties, it narrowed to an interest in Whitemarsh because that was closest to Baltimore, or that at least was the reason Marechal gave. The documents here are only a portion of all those pertaining to the controversy. See T. Hughes, SJ, "Hist of Society," Docs., V. 1, Pt 1, 386-600 for further documentation.
DATE SPAN: 01/18/1822 - 12/23/1822
DESCRIPTION: See previous folder description. The year 1822 was the peak year of the struggle.
DATE SPAN: 01/01/1824 - 12/31/1838

DATE SPAN: 01/01/1822 - 12/31/1822
DESCRIPTION: This extensive printed material reflects the conclusions that "Propaganda" reached in June 1822, and includes supporting documents. Most of it is in Italian with short sections in Latin.

DESCRIPTION: A sheet of paper with a plat showing a 202 acre piece of land, apparently called Cabin Clock, adjoining St. Thomas's Land, St. Mary's Co., Maryland. Probably descended in and given by the Jenkins family.
DATE SPAN: [01/01/1780]? - [12/31/1820]?
DESCRIPTION: Slip of paper from a later date describing in degrees the bound information given in the warrant in Box 5, Folder 7. Departs of a "Bound Maple" and also refers to a branch and to St. George's Woods. Probably descended in and given by the Jenkins family.
DATE SPAN: 09/04/1767 - 09/04/1767
DESCRIPTION: Bond of tobacco by Wm. Jarvis Kindrick to Joseph Jenkins for unstated reasons. Witnessed by John Jenkins and Thomas Jenkins. Contains the provision that if Kindrick and family move more than ten miles away from Jenkins and stay more than seven years the bond is to lapse.
DATE SPAN: 11/01/1757 - 11/01/1757
DESCRIPTION: Final portion of a will. Names appearing are William, Henry and Ignatius Jenkins; Jenkins and Mary Ann Hagar; and Jane Fenwick. Witnesses were Cornelius and Winifred Lynch. Will may have been probated in Baltimore County.

Mentions two parcels of land that he thinks ought to be sold to meet debts--on the Bay side, one called part of Brushyneck and the other called Taylor's Chance. Also mentions St. Thomas's land, Deer Park, Vaughn, and Truth & Trust. Among his sons given bequests was Augustine (Austin) Jenkins, a Jesuit, to whom he gave 3 pounds, but no property; that went to the others.
DATE SPAN: 05/07/1666 - 05/07/1666
DESCRIPTION: This is a 1782 copy of the patent to Walter Pake for 300 acres in St. Mary's Co., Maryland, called St. Margaret's, lying on the north side of Neveth [?] Creek. Mentions James Greenwell and Mordecai Hammond as past or present neighbors.
DATE SPAN: 02/21/1715 - 02/21/1715
DESCRIPTION: Report of a survey establishing a 100 tract in St. Mary's Co., Maryland, for Joseph Wheatley, called Wheatley's Addition, to be created from a 550 acre patent that had been issued to Wm. Maria Farthing in 1714. Was to be held from Calverton Manor.
DATE SPAN: 08/15/1720 - 02/08/1721
DESCRIPTION: Survey done at the time "Truth & Trust" was being transferred to William Jenkins from William Maria Farthing. Apparently 422 acres were involved, subtracted from larger holdings that Farthing had put together from various named sources--Michael Jenifer Coaring, and John Greenwell.
