Hello,
I tis indeed a trip. I found that many of my ancestors, Edelens, Middletons, Berrys, etc, of old Southern Maryland, especially Charles and PG counties, were all intermarried in all sorts of ways. For one it was easier to keep wealth and land in the family, but also, in thosed days hell they all lived around each other, many were big land owners, etc, and they did not have a lot of choices to choos from.
