Helen, This is the same problem I have with a couple of "middle" names (Perry and Forman) found in my Daffin family line. I do remember as a young boy a HEARN'S POND somewhere outside of Seaford, De. when we moved there from Maryland and also some folks around with the HEARN surname. Perhaps a posting to a Kent or Sussex Co. list might also help. Below is a bit of my own CALLAWAY FAMILY History from Wm. Callaway, Sr. and Mary Morgan. My great grandmother was Margaret Wesley Callaway. I don't know if any of the info I have below helps any further, but what you posted has helped me! I was unsure of how my great grandmother descended from Peter Callaway, so thanks for posting the query!

My CALLAWAY cousin's name is, William "Hearn" CALLAWAY & we have been trying to find out where the HEARN surname comes from. "Hearn" descends from two (2) CALLAWAY Lines -- the HEARN surname may have come from someone who marred into the CALLAWAY Line. Would you have any idea who that may have been?
