Re: Girdletree MD - Many Families

kelleymarieadams — 2013-04-17 00:32:00Z

Hi,

I'm not sure if you're still active on the site (or even still have the book!) but I was wondering if I could see the pages on all of the Joneses -
Jones, Charles (pg9)
Jones, Garland (pg6 ,9)
Jones, Granville "Grant" (pg7, 9)
Jones, Jim (pg4)

I'm researching a Clayton Jones b. 1898 who was married to a Stella Byrd Jones b. 1897 d. 1954 at one point before getting divorced. I know they lived in Salisbury, MD (according to the 1920 census), but I'm struggling to fill in a lot of the rest of the picture.

Thanks!
Kelley

Capt. Rowland Bevends, Bevan, Bevans, Bevins, etc.

Capesoul — 2013-04-01 15:34:58Z

tons of info on this very large family, but I need something to connect John Bevan (1646-1726) wife, Barbara Aubrey, Quakers settling PA with Wm. Penn to Capt. Rowland Bevends (1624-1709), wife, Mary Aubrey of Warwick, MD. Capt. Rowland is my 7th great grandfather, and my generation does, indeed, have a Rowland. Captain Rowland married late in life, twice, but having 9 children with Mary Aubrey in MD. Mary and Barbara are sisters from Wales, and the family castle is still called home to the Aubrey line today. I find that Capt. Rowland was born in Bay, MA 1624, but without any documentation to prove this to be true. I cannot find documents that clearly states Capt. Rowland's siblings (or date and place of birth,) one of which may be John Bevan of Wales, settling PA with a band of Quakers. These men were brothers-in-law, but also brothers? Capt. Rowland may have Arthur, Llewellyn, William, and Richard as brothers or children... I would love to know more about this larger than life man and his bustling and busy family.

The railroad depot in Stockton was named Hursley and at one time many thought the name of Stockton would be named Hursley, but it never happened. I think that "Stockton is what you are looking for. Dale Jones

Re: Where is Hursley, Maryland located?

smholmes14 — 2013-03-16 22:35:49Z

There is a Hursley Rd just west of the intersection of Rt 12 (Snow Hill Rd) and Rt 366 (Stockton Rd) in Stockton, Md. Google maps shows it as a road that goes through, but it is marked no outlet. Years ago the area had many small towns or settlements that have since faded away. For many the only thing left is a cemetery or a road named after the town. Stockton was originally called Sandy Hill and the Sandy Hill Cemetery can be seen on google maps at the beginning of Hursley Rd. I believe there may have also been towns called Portersville and Ticktown to the east of Rt 12. You may be able to get additional information from the Snow Hill or Pocomoke Libraries that would confirm the location of Hursley.
Hope this helps in your search.

Re: Powell family of MD

Nikodemus2 — 2013-03-10 15:39:43Z

Hello:

I am researching Henry Powell (born 1820), his wife Lucy (born 1820), granddaughters Annie Rebecca (born 1876) and her sister Bessie (born 1878) all living in Howard County Maryland (re: US 1880 Census) with his two sons Nathan (1870) and Edward (born 1869). In the 1870 census, other children are listed as Henry (born 1863) and Olevia (born 1867). Would Zenas' bible hold information on this african american family?

I am researching Annie Rebecca Powell in particular who would later marry John Henson Jones; my great-grand parents.

Thanks for any assistance.

Re: Powell family of MD

colpowell74 — 2013-03-08 18:43:05Z

I know this response is 14 years later, but I would love to see Zenas' bible. Where did you get that information?

Also, I was wondering about Nathan...I can see a Nathan Powell arriving in Maryland in 1769 at the age of 30 and believe there could be a connection.

Thanks for any help!

Hello list i am trying to research the ancestry of Henry Martin, born about 1864 according to the 1900 & 1910 census records. Wife Rebecca, i assume last name Purnell.

Looking for any information on George L-A-N-D-D-I-N-G, black male laborer born 1879 (Maryland ?) and found living with the Boston family (no relation) in Pocomoke, Worcester County in the 1900 census.

He may have known Stephen and Drucilla HOLDEN and their sister-in-law Cela Tilghman who lived on Linden Avenue.

He may have also known Marie (Margie?) Ballard who I believed worked as a midwife in the negro community.

Thank you in anticipation of your reply.

Re: Cherricks/Cherrix

My great great grandmother was Sooloney Cherricks, her father was Joshua Cherricks, his father was Daniel Cherricks. Daniel's father was James Cherricks, his father was Arthur Cherricks.

I had heard family stories that Sooloney was part Native American but I have not found any evidence supporting that.

Re: Cherricks/Cherrix

gtaylor4201 — 2012-11-20 19:48:43Z

I too have cherrix family. My father was Graden Cherrix.. he drowned when I was three. My grandmother was Della F. Cherrix who was married to Thomas B. cherrix. His father was John J. Cherricks who was married to Susan Fogelson and John J. Cherricks was the son of William Chericks who was born in 1805-1807 in Maryland. Would love to know if you tie in and who your family is. My birth certificate lists my name spelled Cherricks which was close to the original spelling I've seen so far.

BESHENOUR — 2012-11-07 01:54:04Z

Just pulled a marriage certificate for an Aunt in 1902 and it stated that her Father was born in Hursley, Md. I think it might be in Worcester County..maybe the name was changed. I've been doing genealogy for 30 plus years and I've never heard of it..I'm thinking it's around Stockton or Snow Hill area.

Re: Saunders W. Hall/Emma J. Pruitt

laien — 2012-11-05 04:36:26Z

If his name is not Saunders or Samuel, then you might try looking at Santa Anna Hall in the Miles Files located on the Eastern Shore Library website. He was married three times, 2nd & 3rd to women named Emma.
