Benjamin Murdoch's life after the war [Part 5]
Continued from part 4
The years after his death
In 1840, a man named Richard Murdoch, called "Richd Mardock" in the census, had eight enslaved individuals, and was living with nine White people in Buckeye, Frederick, Maryland. [22] This was Benjamin's son.
Reprinted from my History Hermann WordPress blog.
Ten years later, in 1850, Richard, a farmer was living in Buckeystown, Frederick, Maryland. [23] He was age 58 (meaning he was born in 1792), with 11 other Whites, including his sister, Eliza, with Anitta not in the same household:
Anitta was likely living in Frederick, Frederick, Maryland with a man named John A Simmons, listed in the 1840 Federal Census. That same year, multiracial and Black individuals named "Harriet Murdock," "Matilda Murdock," and "Rachael Murdock" were living in Frederick County. It is possible these individuals were former enslaved people owned by Benjamin.
Two years later, Richard B. Murdoch assigned power of attorney named William Peugh to obtain an increase in the pension or of bounty land for the service of his father. He claimed that he was the only son and that he had two surviving sisters: Eliza Murdoch and Anitta Simmons. Looking at the actual pension implies that Benjamin and Mary Ann, his wife, had more than three children:
Fast forward to 1887. That year, Eliza Murdoch, who was noted as born Jan. 1, 1800, and the youngest child of Benjamin and Mary Ann, implying that others were born before 1800, died. She died "near Sykesville" in northern Baltimore County, at the residence of her niece:
Source for image: "Obituary," The Sun (1837-1991): 4. May 27 1887. ProQuest. Web. 31 May 2017. Obit also in this Westminster, MD paper, The Democratic advocate the same year.
Despite the fact it says that Benjamin served on the staff of Horatio Gates, no evidence suggests this to the knowledge of this researcher, even though he could have been a major. It is interesting to note that she was native to Frederick County and related to William Murdoch, a London merchant, suggesting some familial connection between Benjamin and this individual. I think they may confusing this person with the other Benjamin Murdock in Vermont, a private in a Massachusetts Regiment, this individual seemingly who died in Oct. 1833.
In 1908, a descendant of the same name as Benjamin died, showing that the family lineage still lived on:
Concluding words
While there are many gaps in the story of Benjamin, many can be filled by looking at land records. There many questions about how a person named Mary Magruder Tarr Willard, Marie Benjamin Murdock Brown, and Richard Bruce Murdock are related to Benjamin. Regardless, there are still questions to be answered about his life, but this is a good start to the topic and hopefully opens doors for many in terms of different areas of Maryland history. [24]

Homes for Sale in Sykesville
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, known as Monopoly's B&O Railroad, reached Sykesville, Maryland, in 1831. Those are just a few tidbits from the long and rich history of this small town in northern Maryland. Nowadays, Sykesville is a unique area where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Sykesville is less than 30 miles from Baltimore and 50 miles from Washington, D.C., so residents are open to more than Sykesville's employment and recreational opportunities.

Kyle Crosby, New Jersey inmate 426707D, born 1986, incarceration intake in 2016 at age 29, scheduled for release on 10/30/2038
Manslaughter, Hindering Apprehension and/or Prosecution
A New Jersey man was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison in the choking death of his wife, whose body was found in Maryland by investigators using a GPS device in his vehicle.
Kyle Crosby, 29, was sentenced to 31 years behind bars in the New Year’s Eve 2014 killing of Erica Crippen.
The Mount Laurel man pleaded guilty in December 2015 to aggravated manslaughter and hindering apprehension in the death of his 26-year-old wife.
Investigators found Crippen’s body in March 2015 along a rural road in Sykesville, Maryland, after determining that Crosby had spent time along a nearby road. She had been missing since New Year’s Eve, and Crosby admitted choking her that day.
Crosby apologized to Crippen’s family and asked for forgiveness in court.
“I miss Erica, my wife, terribly,” he said. “I’m sorry. … I know I hurt a lot of people.”
Charges against Crosby’s mother of helping her son conceal the crime were dismissed as part of the deal. Authorities have said Jo Crosby provided significant assistance to her son as he allegedly attempted to conceal Crippen’s death.
The Judge said that the plea deal allowed Crippen’s family to avoid the agony of a trial, where he said Crosby would have likely been convicted of murder.
Crosby must serve 85 percent of the sentence for the manslaughter charge before he becomes eligible for parole.

On 12 July of 2007, 33-year-old Joey Lynn Offut was at her home in Sykesville, Pennsylvania, with her 6-week-old son. At some point during the night, the house went up in flames. The authorities were quickly alerted and once the fire was extinguished, the deceased body of Joey’s son was discovered in the bathtub. Joey was nowhere to be seen.
An investigation discovered that the fire was started with an accelerant. It was also discovered that nobody had physically seen Joey since 4 July and her car was nowhere to be seen. On 15 July, her car was eventually found - it had been abandoned several hours from her home, in an apartment car park where she had previously lived. Her family claimed that it couldn’t have been her that drove it there because of the manner in which it was parked.
Joey Lynn Offut has still never been found and it’s unknown if she set the fire herself.

What Is the Snallygaster?
Spend enough time around north-central Maryland, and you’ll hear about the Snallygaster. He’s spoken of and written about in a cluster of towns in Frederick, Montgomery, and Carroll counties, most prominently in Middletown, Rockville, and Sykesville. The trouble is, he’s almost never described the same way twice. Sometimes he’s part reptile, part bird, with octopus tentacles. Sometimes he has razor-sharp teeth. Other times he has a shiny metallic beak. Sometimes the creature tears the flesh of its victims. Other times it sucks on the veins of its victims until they’ve bled white. And lately the term Snallygaster seems to be used interchangeably with Maryland sightings of Bigfoot.
So where did the Snallygaster come from, and how did his name come to be applied to such radically different creatures? Ah, now there’s a story. The creature’s name comes from the German term schneller Geist-a fast-moving spirit or ghost whose rapid movement causes doors to slam and items to scatter. In north-central Maryland in the early eighteenth century, the German schneller Geist turned into the Snallygaster, a creature with overtones of European dragon lore and the thunderbird myths of Native Americans tribes. This monstrous bird of prey would whisk away chickens and small barnyard animals in the South Mountain region.
Occasionally, a tale would surface of a child being carried off. One branch of local lore stated that the seven-sided hex patterns painted on houses and barns were a charm to ward off the beast. (Few of these still exist in Maryland, though hex signs are still prevalent a little farther north in the old German settlements in Pennsylvania.) And so the stories continued for more than a century, firmly rooted in local folklore.
Written records of the creature don’t appear until 1909, when the Middletown Valley Register published an account from Ohio of a flying creature some twenty feet long, heading toward Maryland. A later issue described a similar creature in Maryland’s northern mountains, sleeping on a kiln. It woke with a horrible screech and flew off.
Fired by these tales, more reports came in, with witnesses describing an eagle-winged but fur-clad creature snatching farm animals, or tearing them apart and drinking their blood. Tales from out of state-mostly West Virginia and Ohio-described children being dragged off in broad daylight. Reports that cannot now be verified appeared alleging that the Smithsonian Institution offered a substantial reward for the creature and that Teddy Roosevelt planned a hunting trip to find it. The whole story soon died down, with a final report from hunters in Emmitsburg who mortally wounded the beast and watched it disappear into the night.
The authenticity of these tales is serious in question, especially because of the creature’s convenient disappearance-that is, until it suddenly reappeared two decades later during Prohibition. Stories began to circulate of thunderous explosions and loud screeching sounds from the mountain’s illegal stills, along with reports of a winged creature with huge tentacles. Hard to believe, but the monster carried people off who were getting too close to the mountain and left their bodies scorched and bled white. The Valley Register ran reports theorizing that the creature had probably hatched from an egg mentioned in the paper twenty years earlier. Sightings increased exponentially, and other newspapers including the Baltimore Sun began to cover the story. In some cases, the tales were intentionally ridiculous, featuring the Snallygaster swooping down from the clouds on an antique bicycle, wearing water wings and shouting, “Balance the budget!” More newspapers were trying to get coverage on it when the Valley Register reported the Snallygaster’s death by drowning in a vat of whiskey. The creature’s death probably had something to do with the fact that Prohibition was about to end and the moonshiners didn’t need the Snallygaster’s protection from prying revenue agents.
Sightings of Snallygaster still occur. At some point, the Snallygaster appears to have become a generic term for the bogeyman and lost its teeth (or beak or tentacles) for good. Any reports of a bipedal mammal called Snallygaster should instantly be filed under Sasquatch. The Snallygaster himself has been killed twice over and should be respectfully laid to rest.

Ensuring Home Safety and Efficiency: The Importance of Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sykesville
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, household chores often take a backseat to more immediate priorities. However, when it comes to maintaining a safe and efficient home, certain tasks should never be overlooked. One such crucial yet often neglected chore is Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sykesville, where residents experience diverse weather conditions, ensuring the cleanliness of your dryer vent is paramount for both safety and energy efficiency.
The Hidden Threat in Your Home
The average homeowner may not be aware of the potential hazards associated with a neglected dryer vent. Over time, lint and debris accumulate in the vent, obstructing the airflow. This build-up not only diminishes the dryer's efficiency but also poses a significant fire hazard. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), failure to clean dryer vents is a leading cause of residential fires.
Sykesville's Unique Challenges
Sykesville's climate, characterized by seasonal variations and occasional humidity, can exacerbate the issues caused by a clogged dryer vent. Humidity can cause lint to clump together, forming dense obstructions in the vent. Additionally, during colder months, the vent may become susceptible to freezing, further impeding proper ventilation. Regular dryer vent cleaning becomes even more critical in such conditions to mitigate these risks.
The Benefits of Regular Maintenance
Fire Prevention: Regular cleaning removes the lint and debris that could potentially ignite, reducing the risk of a dryer-related fire.
Improved Efficiency: A clean dryer vent allows for optimal airflow, improving the appliance's efficiency. Clothes dry faster, and the dryer operates more smoothly, ultimately saving energy.
Extended Appliance Lifespan: By reducing strain on the dryer's components, regular maintenance can contribute to a longer lifespan for the appliance.
Energy Savings: An efficiently operating dryer consumes less energy, leading to lower utility bills and a more eco-friendly home.
DIY vs. Professional Cleaning
While some homeowners may attempt to clean their dryer vents themselves, it's often advisable to enlist the services of a professional. Certified technicians possess the knowledge and specialized equipment to thoroughly clean and inspect the entire vent system, ensuring a comprehensive and effective maintenance routine.

It was around 4AM on the 12th of July, 2007, when an emergency call came in to the fire department in Sykesville, Pennsylvania.1 There was a report of a burning building on Dr. Fugate Drive.
The fire had consumed a large portion of the home, and once the fire was extinguished, the firemen were horrified to discover the burned remains of an infant boy inside a bathtub. Further examination revealed that the fire had been set intentionally with some kind of accelerant. An autopsy could not confirm the infant’s cause of death, but it determined he had been killed before the fire was set.
Investigators quickly got to work. They determined that the home was being rented by 33-year-old Joey Lynn Offutt. However, she was nowhere to be seen.
