Pat: The State Archives has indices to early wills and administrative accounts. Even if people did not leave wills, there may be an administrative account that lists heirs.

Hasanyone been able to find out if Robert Simpson who arrived on the Ark and Dove in 1634 was related to Richard Simpson in Baltimore 1663? If not have you found any information on how Richard Simpson's family came to America and from where? I would appreciate any information you may have. Pat
