Yes, thanks. I've checked Miles Files and have combed through records in Accomack and Snow Hill. I'm missing a couple of wives, but do have the male line from John b. abt 1635-37 to Elma Drummond b. 1856. Missing proof that Parker Drummmond, only son of Burrell Drummond d. 1791, is the father of John Townsend Drummond b. 1820 KY, Elma's father. Norah, I'll contact you via email about the Drummonds.

I can send you the text and the source information if you don't have access to the books (two volumes). I have it on DVD so it's not a problem to cut and paste. Send me your email addy if you want the info. I also see a Captain John Drummond 1637-1713 link in the Miles Files but my internet is acting up (bad weather here today) so I can't check it for you. Some of the links for getting to the Miles Files that you get from a google search seem to be broken. I've had luck getting to it directly through the library web site itself. There is also a link for Tilghman also but I don't see a Ruark on the list. I hope this helps...... ~Traycie Save Fort Monroe - Virginia History, American Heritage "And though she be but little, she is fierce." ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:04:56 -0500 (EST) From: EMSCRS@aol.com Subject: Re: [LDR] Tilghman To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <44465.3fb6875b.3dd0d247@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Have you checked the Miles Files?
