I tried to reach you but my e-mail was returned. My father and I are tring to find the parents of Bazaleel Downing, born 1777 in MD; died in Logan Co, OH in 1850. Sure hoping you might be able to help us with this project. We started this after my mother died as a new interest for my dad but I think I'm the one hooked. I don't know how to get beyond good ol' Bazaleel. We (I) would greatly appreciate any information or helpful tips in our journey that anyone could help us with. Waiting to step beyond 1777.
