Surnames: Harman/Harmon; Tichner/Tichnor/Tickner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iEB.2ACE/647 Message Board Post: John Harman (b. around 1800) married Elizabeth Tichner (born in Pa in @1797) in 1824 in Caroline County, Maryland. John was killed about 5 miles from Snow Hill (now Preston) in Caroline County in 1829. I would like any information on John Harman's family or Elizabeth Tichner's family. It appears that a James Harman married Nancy Tichnor in Caroline County in 1822. This could be part of the same families.

For those new to the roots web and those of you veterans I would like to say that there are many folks who subscribe that are willing to do what they can to help others in their research. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 485 prisoners of war on record from the state of my home state of Maryland and about 100 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. I also do the research for any prisoners from any state that were here. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. Please do not concider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Dar Caroline Researchers: It has been quite a while since last we completed a volume of abstracted wills for Queen Anne's County--however, we are back and are soldiering on. We have just finished two more volumes: Liber WHN #1 & Liber WHN #2 which covers the years 1763-1766 (and also includes quite a number of wills predating this time) and also have completed Libert WHN #2 which includes wills from the years 1767-1771. Each of the volumes sells for $14.00 plus shipping & handling. These volumes include wills that are of interest to Caroline County researchers as they predate the creation of the county in 1774. Among the surnames found in the volume for 1763-1766 are: Arey, Atkinson, Ayers, Bailey, Banden, Barwick, Baxter, Blake, Blunt, Brown, Bryon, Burk, Carradine, Carrow, Chaires, Clayton, Comegys, Cooper, Cornelius, Costin, Countiss, Coventon, Crane, Dockery, Downes, Earle, Emmerson, Emory, Everett, Feddeman, Flower, Goodhand, Gould, Green, Hadley, Hamilton, Hammond, Harrison, Hart, Hawkins, Hervy, Hollinsworth, Hyndes, Jackson, Jones, Kieran, Lane, Loockerman, Massey, McCash, Meredith, Moore, Mountsur, Nabb, Neale, Offley, Pinder, Pratt, Richardson, Roberts, Robinson, Scrivener, Sexton, Slaughter, Stant, Swift, Tanner, Thomas, Tilghman, Tim, Walters, Warner, Welch, Wiggins, Wilcocks, Wilkinson, Willson, Wright, Yewell, Young, and many others Among the surnames found in the volume covering 1767-1771 are the following: Anthony, Baley, Barkhurst, Barrate, Bell, Birstall, Boon, Bostick, Boyer, Brown, Bryan, Burn, Cannon, Carmichael, Carter, Chance, Coursey, Covington, Cox, Dyre, Eagle, Elliott, Ensworth, Fisher, Gafford, Garnett, Goodman, Green, Hadden, Hall, Hambleton, Hamilton, Harrington, Heath, Hendley, Hughlett, Jacobs, Jones, Keiron, Kiern, Killeridge, Knotts, Lee, Loyd, Marchant, McCash, McCulloch, Meeds, Mooth, Mounteg, Nab, OBryon, Osbourn, Phillips, Pickeron, Plummer, Read, Redue, Reed, Register, Richardson, Robertson, Robinson, Rochester, Roe, Scott, Seagrims, Sherwood, Small, Smith, Smyth, Swift, Sylvester, Thomas, Thompson, Tippins, Tolson, Webb, White, Wiggins, Williams, Willson, Wrench, Wright, Young and many many others.

I am hoping someone can find the date of death for Martha Coursey THAWLEY, who died between 1831 and 1834. She was married to John Thawley and was the daughter of William T. Coursey.

Hi list, Someone was just recently looking for info on the surname COBOURN(E) on one of these lists. (Sorry can't remember which one.) I live in Delaware Co., PA & a man contacted me up here, also looking for info on the COBOURN(E) Family but these COBOURN(E)s were living in the Marcus Hook, Delaware Co. area. I started to wonder if there was a connection between the COBOURN(E)s in PA, DE & MD. I think I may have found some interesting aspects. Here is a list of the COBOURN(E)s buried at St. Martin's Cemetery in Marcus Hook, Delaware Co., PA: COBOURN, Joseph d. 5 Apr 1829, age 53 yrs COBOURN, Lydia d. 28 Jan 1863 , age 87 yrs COBOURN, Margaret T. d. 15 Aug 1805, age 29 yrs 2 mo 11 days Wife of David COBOURN COBOURN, Rebecca C. or B. d. 1817, age 4 yrs? *COBOURN, Susanna B. no dates *COBOURNE, Joseph -1833 (burial date) COBURN, Eleanor Sep 1896 (burial date) COBURN, Hannah Oct 1822 (burial date) COBURN, Lydia -1849 (burial date) In the "Concord Township," book's by Robert P.

These books you can get though inter library loan or purchase them: Vol. I, in the index is: COEBOURNE, Joseph* Robert Joseph* & Thomas (grist mill) NOTE: Joseph, Thomas & Robert are mentioned in the Will of Michael COULBOURN [COLEBURN] below. COEBOURNE Mill Road Vol. II, in the index is COEBURN'S Mill Here are two COULBOURN [COLEBURN] Wills from Sussex Co., DE 25 Feb 1796 -- Will probate of Michael COULBOURN [COLEBURN], Farmer Sussex Co., DE sons: Thomas, Joseph*, Elijah & Robert COULBOURN daugs: Catherine, Rebecca, Nelly, Anna, Kesiah COULBOURN, Mary WILLIAMS, Priscilla STEWART, Nancy WATTS ex: son Joseph COULBOURN wits: Samuel COOPER, John CANNON, Sophia SMITH 22 Apr 1791 -- Will probate of Curtis SMITH, Planter, Sussex Co., DE wife: Susannah SMITH sons: Hudson, Constantine, John CANNON, Curtis & Trustan SMITH daug: Sally HUDSON exec'rs: wife Susannah SMITH & bro. Henry SMITH wits: Ezekiel BROWN, Robert JEWETT, Stephen OUTERBRIDGE. NOTE: Estate was settled by Joseph COULBOURN* & wife Susannah*, the late Susannah SMITH I believe this may be the second marriage of Joseph COULBOURN. Please give me some feedback on this & let me know if reached the person(s) that were doing the research on the COBOURNs. Thank you! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)
