Both were born in Baltimore City; Fells Point. JD Rodgers Are you sure it was Baltimore City, The city lines expanded twice. They may have been in Baltimore County. My Great-grandmother died at 3423 East Baltimore Street in 1902, and her death is recorded in Baltimore County. That address today is in Baltimore City. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
