I have a nice,but well worn library,selected by me,not a library committee, for locations I have interest in. And,over the years,snail mail,and on-line friends have added to it. For example,Cecil O'Dell's "Pioneers of Old Frederick Co,Va" and Dr Peter S Craig's "1693 Census of New Sweden " [?] were gifts from dear Friends like Dick Mattson's neighbor ,Jeannie. 25-30 years ago,I bought Warfield's 'History of Anne Arundal and Howard Co,Md" and I've worn the cover loose on it, and on some of Robert Barnes' books. Warfield is so hard to read without a map of Md,and a time chart of Md -Va events. I think maybe I'm from the coastal trader,Capt John Browne, who Hermann found on the Severn in 1660,but who Warfield also places at Plymouth,Mss,and London,England. An on-line genealogist gave him a girl in every port-a 2nd family at Salem, ne Mass,besides one near Annapolis. I have no beginning date for England to send convicts to her widely spread colonies. But I have 1640 -42 for my own Olaf Stille being sent to New Sweden a convict for trying to aid an employee escape from the nearby Lord's dungeon. I've seen poliroids of the dungeon,and the castle door,taken 340 years later. My earliest might be John Chew,1622,at Jamestown. Part of his made the migrtion from the mouth of the James River,to the West River Quakers.[My own Chew settled among the Swede's of very sw NJ 1710. ] I've watched coastal traders like Isaac Allerton,of the Mayflower,whose sone settled neighbors to Va's "Lee's,Corbin's,and Wright's. Or Francis Wright,himself-Chesapeake Indian trading ancestor of George Washington and many here at Bethel,Oh. Or Hermann,of Bohemia Manor's brother-in-law,George Hack, who traded the lower Eastern shore. If one reads "Saints and Sinners" a good,but modeat priced history of the 1620 "Mayflower" to Plymouth,you will see reported,true or not, several of the Mayflower's "Strangers" or non-church members fled to Va. Most everything I know is 2nd hand reporting,and then colored by my fading memory.
