-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Thanks very much for locating those tracts for me and for the Givan information. At least I know where I am now! I can't prove that Martha was a Givan. Sorting out the John Davis' was my primary goal and I haven't really worked on the Givans. _________________ Thanks for the Orphans Court citation. Martha was almost inevitably the daughter of James Givan, with many evidences pointing that way. An interesting Givan question is the motivation for several of this family to have apparently moved from the Rewastico Creek and Nanticoke/Quantico area to this area near the Pocomoke. There are a number of fairly intricate connective threads suggesting relationships not yet sorted out, involving the Givans and the Rownds. These mostly show up in the Judicial Records, which still need some more plumbing. I'm not going to have time to deal with this in the near term, but I'll take a pass at this again when I can to see if anything crops up that might help you out, too. John
