Lyon, speaker  [Session A] Mr. Lyon is an aerospace consultant who lives in Columbia, Maryland.  His database of Somerset land has been developed over many years; he speaks often to genealogical and historical groups on this work and related topics. Maryland land records are rich and extraordinarily detailed.  They allow us to place people in their real context from earliest settlement.  The many kinds of accessible records open numerous doors to the past, directly connecting ancestors to neighbors and relatives, and when they came, where they lived, when they left, what they did and sometimes colorful anecdotal insights discovered nowhere else.  They tend to link and explain many other records. The morning session:  We begin with (1) review of the essential records and how to locate and interpret them, showing many of the surprising research opportunities available to the informed genealogist.  We continue with (2) an overview of the mapping process: how to place properties on a map, to reconstruct and visualize ancient neighborhoods.  We conclude with (3) a broad sampler of results from the speaker’s database of all land grants in “Old Somerset”, the whole of Maryland adjoining Dorchester southeast of the Nanticoke – over 10,000 patents and other surveys, showing what can be done genealogically and historically with this complete data in hand. The afternoon session:  As many Dorchester families trace to Somerset, we invite all those who have Somerset ancestry (including Worcester, Wicomico and much of Sussex County, Delaware) to bring their problems, puzzles, or just their curiosity to explore the Somerset mapping database with us, looking for answers to old questions.  We will have three PCs set up with three experienced Somerset researchers (Mr. Lyon, Dr. John Polk, and Mr. Mike Hitch) on hand to help locate your ancestors on the land and to point you to the source records in which you can learn more.  This sort of interactive personal opportunity almost always discloses the unexpected or the unknown. December 13, 2008 (parallel session) 9:30 am – 4:00 pm; Lunch on your own 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm African-American Genealogy and History: William Jarmon, chair and moderator  [Session B] Mr. Jarmon, a Dorchester native, has 38 years experience as an educator: classroom teacher, instructional resource assistant, vice principal and principal. He has served on the following: Preservation and restoration of Old Field Vaughn Chapel in Church Creek, Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad History Discussion Network, and the Underground Railroad Byway Advisory Committee. • History of African-Americans in Dorchester County and Delmarva • Barriers to Researching African-American Family History and Genealogy and how to overcome them  Jacque-Lynne Schulman  

LOL - I was wondering what that was about...thought it might be a new genealogical term or something....

Hi Freda, Walt, and list, My grandfather was William Burton Smith b. 01 Feb. 1885 d. 1960. His parents were John Smith and Martha E. Bishop b. abt. 1862. Martha died when my grandfather was 2 or 3 years old. He and his 3 sisters, Maggie, Mamie, and Sally, were raised by Martha's parents, George T. Bishop b. Feb. 1845 and Mary A. ____ b. March 1840. John Smith remarried and moved to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. They were born in Worcester County, Maryland (as far as I can tell). Do any of these folks fit into anything you have found? Thanks.

Hi Freda, I am interested in your Short surname as it pertains to my research of the West line in Sussex County. a year ago I bought the family bible of Joseph Burton West and Mary Catherine Steel. Within the pages of the bible were numerous clippings and greeting cards among which was a letter written by Francis Burgette Short, a Methodist Episcopal Minister living in Portland Oregon at the time(1918). The letter was one of condolence to Joseph Burton West and his wife on the loss of their son, Earl Clifton West, who died in the great influenza epidemic. Do you have any information regarding family connections between the Wests and the Shorts or were they just friends or neighbors?

The Sussex County Genealogical Society (SCGS) will meet at 10:30 a.m., Nov. 15, in the upstairs meeting room of the Rehoboth Beach Public Library. Anyone interested in learning about his or her family's history is welcome to attend this free monthly meeting. Each month features a program on some aspect of the genealogy hobby. At this meeting, our web master, Dick Cleveland, will give an overview of the design and development of websites. Dick served two years as president of the ROOTS Users Group of Arlington, Va., which had over 600 members worldwide. In later years he worked as a volunteer for the Arlington Commission on Aging and other non-profit organizations designing and implementing data management systems. He's currently responsible for four other websites including the town of Dewey Beach. His program should give a great insight in how SCGS' website functions to keep its membership informed and help you with ideas on establishing a web site of your own.

Hello All, I have a picture of my grandmothers eldest sister in a uniform..looking beautiful. It looks as if she is wearing a nurses uniform and has a white cap on her head. Someone said she had a beauty shop near Dover, DE but would beauticians wear that type of head wear and an apron and high collar? I think the picture may have been taken ca 1900-10. Could anyone shed some light on this puzzle? Regards, Michelle

Does anyone know where I might obtain a copy of "Four Generations of Venables 1698-1800"? Thank you, Jerrod Godin

Hello All, I've added the first 30 pages to the book "Chronicles of Colonial Maryland". Also, I have scanned and uploaded the next 10 pages to the book "History of Delaware" by Walter Powell. They are both at http://www.midatlanticarchives.com Alan RESEARCHING: Buckingham, Gilpin, Eastburn, Jeanes, Nowland, Wade, Creswell, Vansant and related families

Hi Norah, Here's some information from "Inhabitants of Cecil County, Maryland 1774-1800" by Henry C. Peden, Jr. p. 51: Nathaniel Chick d. testate in 1777 and final distribution of his estate was made in August 1778 to widow (not named) and children Susannah, Peregrine, Tabitha, Nathaniel, Mary, and Nancy Chick. Nathaniel Chick (this must be the son of Nathiel above) took the Oath of Allegiance in 1778; Nathan appeared on property list in the 2nd District (i inhabitant in the household) in 1783 (tax list); Nathaniel voted in the congressional election in January 1789; head of household in Back Creek Hundred in 1790 census; died intestate in 1796. Peregrine Chick tool the Oath of Allegiance in 1778; voted in the congressional election in Janury 1789; m. Margaret Turner ca. 6 May 1790 (license); head of household in Back Creek Hundred in 1790. In a couple of books I have earlier members of the Chick family too. There's an earlier Joseph Chick but he died in about 1774 (I think).

If you "google" Harvey's Deposition, you end up with a bunch of flotsam the best of which, in my opinion , is "The Institutional History of Virginia" and "Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine". The upshot seems to be that Harvey was biased toward the King obtaining a monopoly on the tobacco trade in VA ( the planters did not accept his offer and did not feel it was binding) and he also was sympathetic toward Lord Baltimore lopping off a hunk of VA for MD. As I understand it, in spite of Claiborne's flamboyant rhetoric, MD was not so much set aside for Catholics, as for religious tolerance, which explains why so many Quakers fled there from VA, after 1660. I'm sure someone would care to judiciously comment.Pat -----Original Message----- From: lower-delmarva-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lower-delmarva-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Patriciaa Charron Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 9:28 AM To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: [LDR] Utie and Martinoe/Martineau/Martiau This is one article on Harvey...there are others coming to you. They detail Claiborne, Utie et alia filing a deposition against Gov Harvey with the English Court to have him removed. One more question...My data, with these same names in it, contains on Jonathan Martinoe, a son in law of John Grace and wife Sarah, possibly Dolbee. Jonathan is involved in a really messy court case wherein he and widow Sarah take on everyone else in the family over whether she can log and strip the land John left to her as a life interest. At her death it was to go to their son.I estimate this Jonathan to be born roughly 1750. As I look at the Nicholas Martiau below, I wonder... anyone doing Martinoe/Martineau? Pat A Principal in the Overthrow of a Capricious Ruler York History Series #A-5, April 1997 by (the late) Dick Ivy, Honorary NMDA Member Hearing of secret and unlawful meetings since January by some of his councilors concerning decisions of his rulership of Virginia, Governor Sir John Harvey apprehended and committed their "chief actors" William English, Nicolas Martiau and Francis Pott. On Apr. 28, 1635, the Governor's Councilors Samuel Matthews, John Utie, Thomas Harwood, William Perry, William Farrer, William Peirce, George Menefie and Dr. John Pott came to the governor-called council meeting at his house. John Utie of Yorke's Chiskiak Parish hit the governor hard on his shoulder and declared he was under arrest for treason. The others held him secure and told him to go back to England to answer the complaints against him. They set Martiau and others free and called for their force of 50 musketmen waiting at a short distance. On May 7, 1635, the councilors met at James Town, opened the floor to complaints, and elected Capt. John West as governor. The complaint included the giveaway to please the King of the Isle of Kent to Maryland by a willing Harvey for persecuted Catholics from England, ignoring the ownership claim by William Claiborne who was trading with the Indians here. A war ensued between forces from Maryland and Claiborne when the latter refused to become a Catholic, it is said. Martiau was granted 1,600 acres of land that year. The King reinstated Harvey and the rebels were ordered to appear at the King's Star Court, but were never tried for an unknown reason. Finally, Harvey was recalled over another incident of poor judgment. -----Original Message----- From: lower-delmarva-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lower-delmarva-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ellen C.

If you haven't already, you might enjoy reading the article "Early Settlers of the Site of Havre De Grace" by William B. Marye, http://books.google.com/books?id=d_sMAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA197. In 1658, Henry Ward settled on a tract of land near the Susquehanna with the Stockett and Utie families. I'm trying to figure out how exactly he's related to them. One of the wives of Nathaniel Utie was Mary Mapletoft who was previously married to a Lawrence Ward. I'm trying to find if there's a relationship between Henry Ward and Lawrence Ward. I'd be interested in knowing more about Harvey's Deposition if you have it.

Wesel was an early center of the Calvinist faith, active beginning in the 80-year's war when Calvinism was persecuted in Holland; there was a Dutch Reformed community there.

If you mean Godfrey Harmer, relationship to Minuit --I have further clarification. In a footnote in Albert Cook Myers' Narratives of Early Pennsylvania, West New Jersey and Delaware, 1630-1707, in the chapter "Report of Governor Printz 1644" is noted that Hendrick Huygen, a member of the 1638 expedition of Sweden to the Delaware and Commissary of the New Sweden colony, "a relative of Peter Minuit, was from Wesel, on the lower Rhine..." Also is noted on the same page, that Godfrey Harmer was "a kinsman of Hendrick Huygen." See p. 106, in which Prints says Hendrick Huygen has "has a Holland servant who knows the savage languages and understands well how to carry on the trade" and that Huygen "does not like to miss the servant (because he is his relative)..." In a footnote on the same page, Godfrey Harmer is identified as the young relative of Huygen that Printz mentions here. http://books.google.com/books?id=FDR-AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA106& Again, zero hard documentation, but Johann Printz, as a contemporary reporter, was aware of a kinship between Harmer and Huygens.
