Well, Hi again! I just used the temporarily free MD Marriages Database on Ancestry.com. It was a bit of a help, and a bit of an eye-opener. I have seen my Zachariah COLHOUER have his name spelt COLHOUEE in Philadelphia and CALHOUN in Carroll County. Well congrats, folks! Carroll county really comes off the victor on this poor guy! In the MD Marriages database, he came up as Zachariah COLBURN and Zachariah COLEHORN. The poor guy must've had one heckuvan inferiority complex! Seriously, though, is there anything new, or anyone new, who is researching the names FLATER or FLATTER, or COLHOUER (however spelt?) Thanks, Vince Summers
