To John Farrall - I have filed in my COLLINS folder that you wrote on July 4, 2002 to Lower DELMARVA @ rootsweb - "--Wateman WHITE, b.1861 in Smyrna, married to Annie WILSON. Wateman's father was Clement WHITE, b.1816 (somewhere in the Milford DE area) and married to Mary HOPPER, from Caroline Co., MD. The other family is that of my great grandfather John R. HALL. b.1865 in Chespeake City, MD and married to Harriett COLLINS (d/o John and Rebecca COLLINS). ----- 1 - Have you or anyone reading this determined if the name 'WATEMAN' is a family name in the DELMARVA area?
