Hi to all Faries/Ferris/Farris/Faris/and yes, you also Phariss! My cousin Gail Faries in De and myself in Penna. are researching what we think is "our" line of Faries here in this area. We are new to this mailing list, and have been really getting a wonderful response in the last week on the families of Faries. Gail and I have been researching in the Dover, DE archives and the DE Historical Society. We have not begun to do Philadelphia, Pa. and the surrounded suburbs. We also have kin from this line in Va, Md, and S.C. We have the will of Alexander Faries (Jennet Jemes-wife) and are pulling out our hair! Wells Alexander Faries from FARIES FUNERAL DIRECTORYS in DE gave me his line info. I have the hand written will of Alex who married Jannett. I have a statement of property ownership for Robert Faries, an Irishman, 1727, in Red Lion Hundred, Pencader, New Castle Co., DE. I have paperwork on Revolutionary boys in this line. Thanks to what Gail and I are reading this morning we will still have some hair left, because all these Williams, James, Johns, Samuels, Alexanders and the womens name a few of which are Mary and Ann seem to all be cousins who loved and respected each other so much they just kept using the same names.......so, now we who are huntin' them have skittles of the same name and it will be our job to connect "who's who" ! :) Thank you to all who have shared their information about Kin.... If we keep working we will have this cracked in no time.... Gail Faries and Carole Faries Werner
