Teresa- Was the "Takinaway Land" near a body of water? If it was, we could look to the rampant erosion and redeposition that has taken place since the beginning of the colonial era as an explantion. Similarly/conversely, in most parts of the Lower shore, the construction of drainage ditches which also has taken place since the beginning of European habitation of the Lower Shore, has "reclaimed" land that was originally too wet to cultivate. Perhaps the land was considered taken at the time due to several uncommonly wet years in succession. In my life, I have seen this happen on Lower Delmarva, where, despite the existence of drainage ditches, large parts of fields were lost to cultivation for 2 - 3 years in a row. The geomorphological regime on Lower Delmarva is distinctly different from that in the west, even from that on the Western Shore of MD. Here, our streams are really estuaries and the elevation of the land is so small that flooding of what would pass for stream valleys is non-existent. I also think the prospect that a dam took land is reasonable, and more likely than flooding. Some of the earliest industries on the Lower Shore were mills, particularly grist mills and saw mills, that were created by colonial entrepreneurs. The area has many of these ponds remaining. I have little doubt that some more have been abandoned or failed after a cataclysmic weather event. For example, Twiford's Pond, on Plum Creek near my hometown of Sharptown, MD, was allowed to return to a wetland after Hurricane Hazel ruptured it's dam/causeway in 1954. Another dam on Barren Creek, near Mardela Springs, MD, was not restored after its dam was breeched during a more recent hurricane.

Ok Listers, I have a brain teaser for you today! I was transcribing a deed dated August 30, 1755, Worcester County, Maryland. This deed is found online through the MSA Guide to Court Records, Home>S1233>Series under Unpatented Certificate 1349. The tract of land is called Vines Neck and was originally granted to Samuel Derrickson. This Deed of ReSurvey has an odd phrase approximately 12 lines in that states ". . . but find one Hundred and Twenty one acs of Land Takinaway by Water and on old Survey as Described by the Letter [D]. . ." The surveyor added one hundred and twenty one acres of land added to the resurvey to compensate for the acreage that was "Takinaway by Water". So here's the brain teaser - what does the phrase "takinaway by water" mean? When you look at the survey map that is attached to resurvey, the location of the land that was, I presume, under water appears to be inland. Could this have been property that was flooded by an dam downstream? It doesn't quite seem plausible that it was washed away in a storm or natural disaster. Thoughts anyone? Teresa A.

You may be dealing with the Church of England. Every year the church would do a 'processioning lands'. Processioning is the act of walking land boundaries or property lines to determine the amount of tithings owed. What you have run on to is when the Church Wardens found a discrepancy in the land survey. The Wardens and the owners of both properties with a common boundary would walk the boundary and either agree or disagree on the line. If you go to my website http://www.dmkheritage.com/store/index.php?_a=viewDoc&docId=7 it will explain about the Church of England and the thing they put the colonies through. It was more than taxation the started the revolution.

Hello http://cabiconsulting.it/images/super.php

Any list members descend from, or researching, John Thomas "Tom" Adkins (1860-1950), later from Berlin, MD. Tom started his life as John Thompson. In the 1870 census, he is listed as John Thompson, age 10, apprentice farmer, from MD. Living on John BW Adkins farm, outside Snow Hill, MD. "Tom" married Margaret "Maggie" Pennewell in 1884, daughter of Noah L Pennewell (1826-1912) and Adaline Jones(1842-1918).  "Tom" & "Maggie" farmed near Snow Hill until about 1916, when they moved to West St., in Berlin, MD. "Tom" was a night watchman in a basket factory, he died in 1950. Tom & Maggie had 3 daughters & 2 sons. Their children: Clayton Thomas Adkins(1888-1963) married Pearl Butler(1892 -1970) daughter of Lorenzo Butler(1857-1921) & Leah Frances Phillips(1857-1914) Clayton drove a road scraper for the highway commission. Norman Noah Adkins(1886-1946) -Norman Married Ethel Frances Butler(1889-1935) secondly married Dorothy Lee Rodney. Norman drove a school bus in the Sinepuxent area. Susan May Adkins(1896-1953) Susie married Walter Theodore Wimbrough Minnie Adkins(1891-?) Marjorie Ida Adkins(1894-1966) she married Horace Shockley(1891-1966) I have checked the various court records and have not found any papers on the beginnings of John Thompson, now known as John Thomas "Tom" Adkins. There really are not any Thompsons near Snow Hill, MD.  Im wondering if orphan trains visited the area in 1865-1870 time frame. The only story is, that he walked on an Adkins farm and "took" their name. Anyone have any idea "what tree I could bark up" to discover his origins. All his records state he is from MD. I just dont figure him native to the area. Very few Thompsons in the area. I checked guardianship at the Snow Hill Courthouse, nothing! Im going to order his death certificate, Hopeful, but doubtful his origins might be listed on it. It seemed to be a secret to his descendants.  In his adopted father, John BW Adkins obit in 1916, it states, Mr J T Adkins of Berlin is an adopted son. Any ideas where to look for parentage & origins for John Thompson (1860-1950), would be appreciated! Mike Adkins

Any list members descend from, or researching John BW Adkins (1840-1916), who lived outside Snow Hill. John married twice, both were Timmons ladies. He had 1 son & 4 daughters. He also had an adopted son, John Thomas Adkins, "Tom" Adkins (1860-1950), who lived most of his later life in Berlin. Tom in his young life was an apprentice farmer & in the 1870 census on John BW's farm was John Thompson.                              Mr. John B.W. Adkins died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. M. Sturgis, in Snow Hill,  Sunday, August 6th, in the 77th year of age. The cause of his death was acute indegestion.  Mr. Adkins had led a very active life, and less than a year ago retired from hard work to make his home wth his daughter. He was a son of the late Laban Adkins, and was born and raised in the neighborhood of Pittsville, but during his long life he had lived in nearly every section of the county. Mr. Adkins was twice married, his first wife having been Mary Anne Timmons, and his second wife, who survives him, being Mary Ellen Timmons. He is also survived by the following children: Mrs. Charles Owens of Eden; Mrs. John Smith of Colbourn District; Mrs. W.M. Sturgis, of  Snow Hill; Mr. John Adkins, of Long Ridge; and Mrs. Austin Moore, of  Salisbury. All of the above named are the children of his first wife, excepting Mrs. Moore. Mr. J.T. Adkins, of Berlin, is an adopted son.  Funeral services were held in Mt. Olive M.P. Church Tuesday afternoon, after which interment was made in the adjoining cemetery. Mr. Adkins had been a member of this church for more than twenty years, and a large number of his old friends and neighbors attended the services, which were conducted by Rev. Avery Donovan, of Sharptown, assisted by Rev. H.O. Keen, of Snow Hill.  The pall bearers were his sons and sons-in-law, Messrs. Adkins, Owens, Smith, Sturgis, and Moore.

Does anyone have a current email (or contact info) for Edward Perdue. He wrote the local book: Perdues of the Eastern Shore of MD. Thanks! Mike

Archibald and Mary were the parents of John Layfield Parker b. c1825. Both the 1850 and 1860 census give Archibald Parker's place of birth as KY. My ancestor, Jordan Ruark, moved to Lewis Co, KY as well. Two of his daughters married Parkers. Nancy Ruark married Alexander Parker in 1823 in Lewis Co. Mary Ruark married William Parker, also in 1823. Alexander and William Parker did not live long enough have their places of birth recorded in the 1850 census. Quite a few families moved into the Lewis Co area from Worcester Co. Some (perhaps many) of their children married within the Worcester Co cluster of families. I've often wondered if Alexander and William Parker came from Worcester Co as well. But, I haven't found time to look into it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Pam and others, Following your inquiries abt the Ruarks and the Layfields, I caught your mention of John Layfield Parker as Severn Ruark's grandson.

This is a follow-up to an earlier discussion about Thomas Layfield's daughter, Sarah, who married Only Owens. My earlier question was whether Mary, another daughter of Thomas Layfield (d. 1791), married Severn Ruark. I'm going to post what I know about Severn and Mary Ruark in case it helps someone down the line. Severn Ruark was born c1760-1770 in Worcester Co. His parentage is not proved, but he may have been the son of Ezekiel Ruark. He was married with children by 1800, when he was enumerated in Worcester Co. The census shows Thomas Layfield > John Layfield > Severon Ruark > Betty Layfield. His dau Nelly, born in 1802, is listed in the Stepney Parish records as the daughter of "Sovereing and Polly." In 1809 Severn Ruark administered the estate of George Layfield in Warren Co, GA. Some seem to think George was the father of Smullen Layfield (who d. 1818 in Hancock Co, GA) and Josiah Layfield (d. 1855 in Talbot Co, GA). Severn Ruark appears in Lewis Co, KY in 1819, dying there in 1842. His will mentions his grandson, John Layfield Parker. (My earlier message mistakenly said the grandson was named Thomas Layfield Parker.) Severn's widow, Mary, was listed in the tax records through 1846. That's all I know. This is not my line, but I have a general interest in the Ruarks. Pam

That is great information, thank you. Sorry for being obscure. Originally, all Hurst research starts with 3 brothers, William? And a couple of others from Virginia...arrived early. They sired MANY Hursts which generally spread south and then north again to Indiana & points west. IF you can make a connection to that large group you are made in the shade. So far, I cannot find a link to them..most possibly because I am just now getting to Maryland research or because mine come from some other line. My sister had much of the early research and again was stopped at this place with a possible connection to a James who was an indentured servant. I have yet to be able to recreate this find...she was in Arlington and had a LOT of time and access to great libraries. :) I have neither... So, island folks interesting. More one learns about one's family history, I find explains certain things about self. I love water/boats/sailing/the ocean. Also, love mountains and wide open balds and wind. One side were watermen other side came from Ireland and were farmers. Gotta love it. :) Again, many thanks for pushing me in a new direction.
