I am new to this list. Can anyone give me the address for the Cecil County Courthouse. Does anyone know what they charge to make a copy of a will . Do they still have the wills for the 1790's. Thanks Vicki

Dear Cathy, Sorry, I can't help with your Evans line. I only included that reference to tie Robert more firmly to Cecil County. I have no Evans ancestors in any of the lines I have researched. If I come across any more I'll try to let you know but most of my lines were in St. Mary's County.

Dear List, This is my first posting to this list. I am trying to identify a Robert Drury who was a witness to the will of Michael Skidmore along with Francis Childs 28 July 1693. This Robert was also sent to Colonel Casparus Herman's plantation at the "head of the bay" to identify a Frenchman claiming to be a Monsieur Casteen since Robert had been fighting the French and the Penobscots previously in New England. He was deposed about this by the Provincial Council in 1692 (Md. Archives Vol 61: Pgs 458-61,463,467,468.487,517). It is possible that this is the Robert who received a payment from the estate of Thomas Evans in 1692. Does anyone have additional information about this man? What was the name of his plantation? Was he married ? If so, who was his wife and what were the names of his children? Where was his plantation located? Who were his neighbors? When did he arrive in Cecil County? Where was he from originally? I will greatly appreciate any information or leads to answer these questions. I have been going on the assumption that he was an unidentified son of the Robert Drury from St. Mary's County who patented "Dry Docking" Plantation in 1663. This assumption is based solely on the statement in the deposition of 1692 that he was 32 years old making him one generation younger than Robert of "Dry Docking", and on the identical given names of the two men. This is very flimsy evidence. I would like to either link them more positively or disprove the connection completely. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Regards, Don Drury

The site is good regarding the Reynolds family. But there are many not listed. Addison was not the only child of James - and we don't know where James is buried or when he died. James was not the only son of Levi and Jane (King) And Sam was not the only son of Sam and Susannah Sidwell. The brick wall for James is who he married in approx. 1816 - his first child was Matilda born in 1817 in MD. Where in MD can not find. Matilda married Thomas Bucy in Holmes County OH and became the step mother to Sarah Bucy the wife of Matilda's brother Addison. Addison and Sarah moved to Indiana and then to IL. Addision died in IL in 1879, His oldest Son James it is told went to NE because there was family land. I did find a James Reynolds in NE - born in OH he was in NE in 1857 and listed in the NE Territory. I think this was either the brother of Addison because he had a brother James listed in OH in 1850 born in 1831. Which also means their father James was remarried because he had no wife listed in the 1830 census in OH. On land records his wife's first name is Prudence. Another brick wall - have not found a marriage in Holmes county. James' brother and his wife Lydia also went to Holmes county. Lewis was his name and he died in 1829. Lydia was listed in 1830 census without a husband. She married John Turner in 1831. Her children lived with them until late in their adult life. Their names were Levi, Thomas, Samuel - traditional names. [email protected] - formerly Reynolds from NE - currently in OH for 35 yrs.

Now thehave a new verison 5.0 out???????????? a free one. If so send me a link, please. I don't think that is the version Im using. Well I know Im not. Thanks for all of your help on this. Louann

I haven't been able to save the document yet. My tool bar does not have the little diskette to save. From what someone told me, you have to purchase the version that has that. Im using the free version. Im just going to go ahead and print it out. I have never cared for Adobe. What is so special about their software? I just can't figure it out. Louann

I have never enjoyed using Adobe. I just don't get the concept I guess. LOL. I know a lot of web pages won't let you get the graphics from them. that i know how to do. LOL. I like to include them in emails sometimes. I'll print the document out, but its 159 pages. Cartridges are so expensive, I hesitate to do it. Thanks for your help and explaining this to me. I will not be buying Adobe for sure. LOL. i have family tree maker, but am trying to wait till the next version comes out to upgrade. Im at 8 now. Louann

I will send you the web page where you download Acobat Reader 5.1. I just downloaded it again myself to make sure it can be done. Let me know if you have any problems.

Louann, Your problem isn't that you are getting older. I think it's the software. Adobe Acrobat is the software that creates PDF files and Adobe charges money for it. Most of us only have Adobe Acrobat Reader, which comes free on the internet and with many software packages. But Acrobat Reader is not the same as Acrobat. From my observation, Acrobat Reader does not normally let you save a PDF file, even when you see it on the screen. There may be different versions. I have been able to save a PDF file open in Netscape on the internet to my hard drive. But when I open it from my hard drive in Acrobat Reader, there is no save option and no diskette on the toolbar that Robert mentions below. Adobe would like us to buy Acrobat, or subscribe to the feature Robert mentions. This is how software companies make their money. For information, Family Tree Maker's latest Version 10 advertises that it allows you to save genealogy charts as PDF files that can be easily read by others. That is a new feature and they have probably paid Adobe for the right to include that feature. There may be more complexities to this than I have figured out, but I am pretty sure your problem is from this issue.
