    1. Re: [AMXROADS]"Rivers of the Eastern Shore"
    2. Hulbert Footner's "Rivers of the Eastern Shore" 1944 -17 Md Rivers I have hunted this book to review the Sassafras and Bohemia Rivers,and to retrieve Footner's quote,page 358. "I have determined to omit the Elk [River] because people of that neighborhood have little connection with the Eastern Shore." Footner's says Head of the Elk was on the main route between north and South, and devoloped a difdferent culrute than the Eastern shore,which is remote,on a side way. Henry Bennington m a Harris lived just west of the Susquehanna in Harford Co. Indeed, my wife's Alexander Hill and Jacob Giles posted his 1740 estate bond. Jacob Giles owned,among others,"Brotherly Love".
