Hi, I'm having a problem finding others connected to the Dashield/Dashields family. The names are variants of Dashiell and they are from the eastern shore originally. My great-great-grandfather was John Dashield of Wicomico Co. He married Nancy Reed of MD. They were both born in the 1810-1815 range. They lived in Baltimore where John was a huckster. He died sometime around 1855. They had children William H, Margaret, Eliza, and my great-grandmother Anna, who married James Knox Polk Kirby of Baltimore. I'm looking for the parents of John and Nancy as well as more information about this Baltimore family. Much is written of the Dashiells but where the name is used as a variant connections are lost. Thanks so much.
