Church records

Thomas Henry Smith and his family were members of Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, DC.  I was able to connect via email with Paul Rosstead who was very helpful in finding and sending me copies of membership cards for several of the family members.  It appears that Mary Ann Tinkler Smith may not have joined the church and perhaps instead chose to retain her membership with the church she attended before her marriage.  Records indicate that she and Thomas were married at the Union Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, DC.  I have not found any contact information for that church as of yet, but will continue to search.

I have been unable to figure out how to insert a pdf here, so I will just list the information from each of the cards instead.
