JOHN BAXTER(5) 1794-1882]

Born in Baltimore County, Maryland, in an area that later became Carroll County, the first child of William Chenoweth and Sarah Baxter, John Baxter Chenoweth would live his entire life in this area near Hampstead. Between 1812 and 1814 he served in the Maryland Cavalry during the War of 1812. Just before his 24th birthday, he married Mary Elizabeth Bond. They would have two children, but within 5 years Mary died tragically from a fall. Eight years later, his two children half grown, John Baxter married again, at the age of 36, to the 23-year-old Sara Beasman Murray, a schoolteacher. Together they would have twelve additional children, founding a large and long line of Chenoweths. John's property was part of the land his father had owned, which was divided by will between he and his brother, William Thomas. John and his family are found on this land in the 1830 Census of Baltimore County and the 1840, 1850 and 1870 Censuses of Carroll County. Four of his sons would fight in the Civil War, one for the South and three for the North. Many of his children would relocate to Randolph Co., IN. John Baxter lived to the age of 88, and Sarah would survive him by two years. He left a detailed will written on May 9, 1881, naming Sarah the executor of his estate. John and both his wives are buried in the Emory Chapel Graveyard, located near their home near Hampstead. About 40 years after his death, in 1925, his granddaughter, Cora Viola Hiatt, would publish "The History of the Chenoweth Family".
