[Update]

Below is a helpful Geeting / Keedy link:

I understand from other websites that it may not be easy to get to the graveyard in the picture or the site of the original home. It is not far from Antietam National Battlefield--Sharpsburg.

Here is the portion that I believe where some of my data connects to the Keedy family:

1 Eberhard Güting b: Bef. 1629 in Bürbach, Germany d: Bef. October 13, 1709 in Germany
.. +Gerdrut b: Abt. 1629 Married: Bef. December 25, 1657 in Germany d: October 13, 1709 in Cann, Germany
........ 2 Hermann Güting b: Bef. 1662 in Eiserfeld, Germany d: 1735 in Eiserfeld, Germany Burial: March 09, 1734/35
............ +Anna Margreta b: Abt. 1667 d: February 15, 1726/27 in Eiserfeld, Germany
.................. 3 Johann Ebert Güting b: Abt. 1687 d: July 05, 1745 in Niederschelden, Germany
...................... +Elizabeth b: Abt. 1697 Married: 1728 in Rogden, Siegen, Germany d: June 11, 1768 in Niederschelden, Germany
............................ 4 Johann Heinrich Güting b: March 04, 1728/29
................................ +[1] Anne Maria Hener Married: Aft. 1755 Father: Hermannus Hener
...................................... 5 Adam Keedy b: 1757 d: 1842
.......................................... +Eve Welty b: 1763 in York Father: John Welty Mother: Eve Gochnauer
................................................ 6 Nancy Keedy

My information diverges from this family at generation 5 (right about where they end). Rather than Eve Welty, I have a spouse Catherine [unknown] and a child, Henry. The spelling is Geeting, but this is about the time period where the spelling split. The Henner and Welty names would be new information (for me), but the time periods are very close.

You may also be interested in historic buildings in the Washington County, Md. area:

There is also the story of Rev. Philip Otterbein and George Adam Geeting and about the series of the Brethren churches starting with the Geeting Meeting House and the Mount Hebron Church of the United Brethren in Christ.

Start at:

but other parts of the site are worth seeing.

Happy Hunting!
