I think both the Stansbury and Gorsuch families were around Baltimore that they had spread out across the whole area. I was specifically referring to the map at the following link that shows two Stansbury farms on the left side of Bear Creek and Gorsuch on the right side of Bear Creek. In fact, there is a Stansbury Park and Stansbury Road in that area today. http://www.rainfall.com/posters/mapscivilwar/8069.htm Robert Stansbury ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathi Jones-Hudson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 3:22 PM Subject: [BALTGEN-L] Gorsuch & Stansbury > Ed & Robert: > > I have some information about the Gorsuch & Stansbury > families of Baltimore Co. - hope it will help one or > both of you. > > Rev.
