My great grandfather was William Albert Nead born in Maryland or Pennsylvania about 1850. There are several families in the area that are Nead, but from German decent. I was always told William was of English Or Irish decent. I know there was also a community of Irish in and around Maryland. Does anyone have any info on this area or person. His wife was Elizabeth (Libby) Craft and they had one son William Silas Nead my grandfather.
