More Church Records

This is a followup to Sunday's post.

Thomas Henry Smith (1835 - 1926) and Mary Ann Tinkler (1827 - 1887) were married in the Union Episcopal Methodist Church in Washington, DC.  I guessed that this was Mary Ann's church, as I had other records showing Thomas as a member of Calvary Baptist Church, along with their two children, Ida May (1867 - 1930) and Samuel Thomas (1869 - 1962) and both their spouses.

I had been searching for records from Union ME Church without luck until Sunday afternoon AFTER I made my Sunday post here!

I found christening records for Ida May and Samuel, along with christening records for Samuel's wife, Minnie Riggles (1869 - 1938).  It appears that these three were christened in the Union ME Church and later were baptized in and joined Calvary Baptist Church.
