Dear Mike and Liz, I noticed that you may be interested in locating a Bear Swamp. In my research for my Dill ancestors I have noticed that they used that name for their property which was just east of Greensboro, MD near Whiteleysburg, MD in Caroline Co. I do not have that reference handy at this moment but I think that I can find it if it would be useful to you. My Dill ancestors settled here in 1702. With love in Christ, George D.
