It my indicate Carey, MD . I think it was in Worcester Co, In a message dated 11/19/2008 11:37:33 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, janmckelvey@verizon.net writes: My sister and I recently came across an old document published in 1903 referring to where my grandfather, Reginald Furness Yerby, and his family came from...it said "Carrie, Maryland". We thought this very odd because in all correspondence etc. he was listed as coming from Monie in Somerset County (where he was born in 1894) or Crisfield, where his family lived until his father died in 1899. Has anyone ever heard of "Carrie"? Thanks very much...
