HI Betty, Thanks for letting me know.  I only have my fifh great grandfather's paperwork which states born Ireland (no year) and then that he and wife Polly Knapp came from Rhode Island to VT.  I am suspicious that the part of Rhode Island used to be a part of DeepRiver, CT.  That's because I find Harriett HEFFLON in Old Saybrook, CT in 1852 land records.  Then in Old Lyme just heard of the Hefflon Farm Road and found out that the man who owned the farm was Arthur Hefflon a sller of fresh fish and he had a market there.  So I know that in that general area of CT. there are Hefflon's and just need to find the marriage record of Silas Hefflon and PollyKbnapp which I suspect may have come shortly after 1800 because there is no census of them together. Thanks to the list and all who have been helpful in suggestions and sites to look at. I am thining of writing Watham National Archives for any records they may have on Silas Hefflon or Polly Knapp. Harriet in New Hampshire presently on crutches and unable to drive for six to eight weeks. --- On Fri, 7/31/09, Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> wrote: From: Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Data Base for Cemeteries To: can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, July 31, 2009, 6:39 AM Hi Harriett, Some information was just posted on the RI List  (US) about people from RI marrying in .. oops.. did they say MD or PA? That reminded me of my mother's claim -  that I was "conceived"  in  NJ - on her weekend Honeymoon at "Atlantic City."       :o) It's also a reminder that people married in many places which were not directly related to where they lived.   They could have been on vacation, or on a business trip, and "made the decision."      My paternal grandparents were 18 and 17 and living near Boston, MA.    On the week of his 18th birthday, they headed to VT, probably taking a train there,  and "eloped." I think that was 1916. I know very little about the history of the State of Maryland, but I accidentally found a web site last night.   It offered  "information" in MD, and it included a picture of the gravestone along with the person's name. Isn't that nice !
