Hi Jean, I have done some research on the surname & given name of HOLLIDAY. Here is the very unusual situation as to the reason why: My g-grandfather Arthur John WEBBER, b. 1851 in Caroline Co., MD & was raised by William & Martha (Vaulx-Voss) WEBBER. Arthur's mother is Margaret BERRY, b. c1824 who m. Wm MEDFORD. They separate & she has Arthur fathered by Arthur John WILLIS (who is married). Margaret (Berry) MEDFORD's sister Nancy Elizabeth BERRY m. Holliday VAULX-VOSS, brother to Martha (Vaulx-Voss) WEBBER. I believe Martha & Holliday VAULX-VOSS' mother was a Martha HOLLIDAY, b. 1791 & m. James VAULX-VOSS. Would you have any info on this HOLLIDAY or VAULX-VOSS Line. Have you made any connection to "the Virginia," HOLLIDAYs & Doc HOLLIDAY?

I am willing to do lookups in my copies of "Kent County, Delaware Land Records". I have volumes 1-10 (missing vol. 4), which cover records from 1680 thru 1775. Each volume has a full name index, so checking will be fairly easy. I realize I'll probably be swamped with requests, but if you'll be patient, I promise I'll respond to all. aschorfheide@comcast.net Jean Schorfheide Galloway, NJ >>
