Carolyn, Hermon, Bill et al, I read these posts with great interest (as Hermon knows) as some others of us , in various ways have tussled with the early migration of our important names! In my case it does include other early comers to Frederick , Berkeley, Hampshire and nearby areas. from Cecil and Old Baltimore (Harford) Counties primarily. My families include Loftin/on (Logsdon var.) Indian traders. Teagues(Lofton Pennington marryins), Penningtons(Lofton-Teague marryin), Friends (Mattsson), Corzines, Smiths, Ives and a handful of others not usually mentioned as having gone West from the Mouth of the Susquehanna. My wife's Alexander Lowrey was further up the Susquehanna in Lancaster Co. PA. Somewhere about 1730 or so, Penningtons, Loftons, Corzines, Smiths, Friends and others broke with the Land in MD and started West staying some time in PA and then on to the Potomac river which was then available - esp. for Indian Traders. My wife's Lowreys (PA)also went that way as did her Foukes and Chaplines and Rileys((PG County MD). Not too much new for most of you folks, but I am just fresh from lots of events and places and people new to me!! Dick Matteson College Park, MD PS. When the Loftons , Teagues, Corzines, Lindseys and others left for NC - Old Rowan County they can be found residing within a few miles of each other before the Rev. War. They harassed the British troops in that area and several found their names on posted lists as, "wanted - dead or alive!!
