I'm glad to hear that the Downing Family His. Soc. of Am. is still going. And that means I am late with my dues! Thanks for Gail's address, Lori. Suehodnett@aol.com Researching Francis Downing of Yorkshire England, born 1736, who came to Maryland aroune 1750, and settled in Harford county. Has anyone reserached a Francis Downing and wife Tomasin: in England around 1700.? Has anyone researched the Francis Downing born 26 Dec, 1736 in Cornwall, England? (210 years exactly before my birth.)
