I just found this on another mail list and wanted to share it with the lists. Pat Obrist, e-mail at bottom of page, may have further info on some of these families. One name I recognized is Green which some of us have been looking for, and this would be the ship passenger list for this family to America. I also noticed Darn which shows up in VA. I've never had a handle on Cooper, but wonder if this Thomas Cooper fits anywhere, Carolyn. There may be other names in these lists some of you will recognize. Since this ship came so early, these names are possibly the American roots of these families. Norma Passengers of the "Ark" and the "Dove" The following list is taken from Series II, "Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families," by Alice Norris Parran, 1938, [the passenger list through the research of Mrs. G.
