Thank you for your suggestion. fYes, I did find not only the Horseys but also the Wailes and Moores in Sussex Co, De having come from Somerset Co, MD. Now I'm busy learning all I can about both of those counties. I just wrote to the Somerset mail list suggesting that someone write up the fascinating story of the first Horsey immigrant - what a character he was! I'm delighted to be a part of that story!

I just found this on the web!! Needless to say, I had to join this list and make enquiry if anyone knows this MOORE line, or anything about John's resultant family. I am an AYRES descendant, though this group *is* a bit off the beaten-path. Thanks! Vince Summers. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/9793/leech/moore.htm Pennsylvania In its early days Cecil Co. MD intruded into an area that later became part of Chester (and perhaps Lancaster) Co. PA. Many of the names listed in Cecil show up in those counties a few years after 1739. Moore and Leech are particularly significant. Rev. John Cuthbertson was a Covenanter and pastor of the Octoraro Presby[terian] Church in PA. in the 1750's. He kept a journal, extracts of which were published as Register of Marriages and Baptisms. Walter Moore, who lived on Pennypack Creek 15 miles from Philadelphia, is often mentioned in the journal: In 1754 the minister was at the home of Walter Moore and baptized Sarah, Elizabeth Leech, and Mary, all of them daughters of Walter Moore. (Walter Moore's house appeared to be two miles from White Marsh Church. On the same page of the abstracted journal we read that on Dec. 12, 1758 he married John Moore and Margaret Ayres. On the next page: in 1759 he rode 31 miles to Chester, Darby, Philadelphia--left B. Leech." The following day he baptized Anne, daughter of John Wallace. Back on page 201 is a notation that he rode 20 miles to and from Frankford with Brother Leech's child dead. (Cuthbertson had married Sarah, one of Walter Moore's daughters, so we may assume that "Brother Leech" was his wife's brother-in-law. Of course the minister habitually used the term 'brother' referring to his 'brothers in Christ'.) (Unfortunately I have not found the first name of 'brother Leech' in the book. Nor have I had any success in identifying Walter Moore; but I did find a Walter Moore with Alexander Moore and other Moores buried at Bethel cemetery near the Leech property in SW York Co. SC. That Walter lived 1798-1861.) Agnes Moore married John Boyd II, who was born in 1747 in County Antrim in Ireland. They are said to have had 11 sons. (This from Carolyn L. Boyd in Boyd mailing list.)

Let me add another wistful wish to this group of researchers. My g-g-g-g-grandfather was Alfred Barcus Carter (b. 3-29-1841, prob. in Cecil County, MD, maybe in Chester Co. PA - now Delaware Co., PA). His middle name comes from his mother's maiden name. His brother was George Brown Carter (b. 3-17-1845, prob. in Cecil Co., MD, but MAYBE in OH -- as per the 1850 census list). We have NO idea where the Brown came from. Browns did marry into the Carter family. (And in my Mercer family [PA>WV], in several lines of my Clarke/Clark family [WV>OH>IN>IO] However, but none of the Browns that married into the Carter family were of a direct generation to George Brown Carter, as far as I can ascertain. William George Carter's father was James Parker Carter. James' father was Daniel Carter. Daniel had a brother named Robert Carter (b. Aug. 21, 1877; d. Oct. 23, 1851) who married Lydia Levis. Their daughter Charlotte Carter (b. Mar 16, 1810; d. Aug. 29, 1879) married a William Brown. This family was located in Chester County, PA, now Delaware County, PA, and Cecil County, MD. It seems a little off-beat for James to have named his son after this William Brown, his niece's husband, doesn't it? I suppose stranger things have happened, but I am hopeful that there might be a better match of information from others who are familiar with the Brown families! Any takers?

Dear PARKER and CARTER researchers, My great-great-great-great-grandmother was named Elizabeth PARKER.  I have been unable to locate ANY information on her besides that in the 1850 census. I am hopeful that if I share information I have about her spouse and children, someone out there might recognize her!  Maybe you!  (Don't you just love tracking down female ancestors?) And, of course, I am always interested in sharing/gathering information about my Carter clan. _________ Elizabeth PARKER (b. 1786-87 as per 1850 census)        married Daniel CARTER (b. Oct. 20, 1785, Carterville or Cartertown, Chester County, PA; d. March 12, 1851, Cecil County, MD). Given the birthplaces of their children, they must have lived in Carterville/Cartertown, Chester County, PA, when they were first married.  Later, they lived in nearby Cecil County, MD.  He died there; I have no information on her death as of yet. Their children were: (1) Joseph CARTER (b. Oct. 13, 1816; d. 1876) married Elizabeth HARGON. (2) James PARKER CARTER (b. Dec. 7, 1818, PA; d. Nov. 24, 1841, Cecil County, MD) married on July 2, 1840, in Cecil County, MD, to Frances Ann BARCUS (b. Feb. 14, 1822, MD; d. Dec. 9, 1860).         They had three children:              (a) Alfred BARCUS CARTER (b. Mar 29, 1841, MD; d. Mar. 29, 1911,                     Denton, Caroline Co., MD) married Lillian Ann MURPHY (b. Dec.                     10, 1839, MD; d. Feb. 17, 1921, Denton, Caroline Co., MD).                     Alfred and Lillian had six children; I can identify 5 of them and many of their descendants should anyone be interested.              (b) George Brown CARTER (b. Mar. 17, 1845, MD -- maybe OH as per                     1850 census; 1860 census says MD)              (c) Elizabeth CARTER (b. May 1, 1847, MD) married on Jan. 11, 1865,                     in Caroline County, MD, to William MURPHEY.                     (William Murphey and Lillian Ann Murphy are probably siblings,                     may be cousins.) (3) Daniel CARTER (b. July 10, 1820, PA; d. Sept. 3, 1865) married Martha E. HANNA. (4) Silas Evans CARTER (b. Dec. 18, 1823, PA; d. Sept. 15, 1854, prob. Cecil Co., MD) married Mary JANNEY. (5) Jeremiah CARTER (b. Apr. 17, 1827, PA; d. Sept. 1864) married Adaline WEST. I also have additional information on ELIZABETH PARKER and DANIEL CARTER's children and some of their offspring, as well as information on Daniel's ancestors should anyone care to exchange family information. Daniel is descended from Jeremiah CARTER and wife Mary UNKNOWN who settled in Chester County, PA, in 1782. Their land became known as Carterville (as per Thos. Maxwell Potts) and/or Cartertown (as per plaque in Carter family cemetery). Karen Carter Minneapolis, MN

Vicky, When I first started out I went to the local Morman church to their family history library FHL [is the initials used for this library, when someone is referring to it], they all have one. And there you can look at the books for free. Plus I went to the local historical society, you have one near you also, and they had a MD section, and there too you could look at their books for free. Both places are for free, the only reason I mentioned this to you is because when I first started my research no one pointed me in a direction, I had to learn on my own. And I wanted to see the abstracts of the wills myself, heck I wanted to see the name MIDDLETON in any book from MD I could find in these places. And before Wills were put on CD's to sell, it was a book. And all FHL have these books or they will get them for you, and at no cost. I live in Calif and have done all my Maryland research from here through these places. I am a person that wants to get things now, just as I see you are, so I thought I'd point you in a direction in which to get them now.

I am looking for the parents of Margaret Jenkins born in Maryland or maybe PA and died in 1867. She was buried in Hopewell Cem, Port Deposit, Cecil County, Maryland. I have a Marriage Record for her stating that she married Levi McVey who was born in 1812 in Cecil County, Maryland and died in 1861 and buried in Hopewell Cem, Port Deposit, Cecil County, Maryland. The Marriage Record does not have Margaret's parents on it. The McVeys went to the Shelemiah Church. Levi and Margaret were married January 24, 1842 in Cecil County, Maryland. I am hoping someone will have some information for me. Thank you, Pat
