The Historical Society in Cecil County in Elkton has a file on the Husbands family in their collection. When I was doing research there a few years ago, I made a copy of it - of course, I can't find it now. My ancestor, John Bralley, lived on William Husbands farm at Mount Pleasant or The Levell. Part of The Levell was sold to Richard Gay/Guy, who was a blacksmith. John Bralley married Mary Guy there, whom I believe was a sister to Richard. I believe they were children of Samuel Guy. Anyway, John Bralley is included in the estate settlement of William Husbands circa 1768 and that's why I became interested in the location and neighbors. Please post details about your James Husbands so I can look through my resources in an effort to help you. Dates, locations, and what makes you think he's Herman's son, okay?

Thanks for the info! I was aware that William had a son named James. Now the trick is to see whether Herman had one named James. Herman was married three times, but I haven't been able to get a full accounting of his children. Interesting thing is, if my line descends from Herman, then none of my gr grandfathers named their kids Herman. All of the other lines from Herman seem to have at least one Herman or Harmon in their lines. My line is overloaded with James. Still, until I learn otherwise, I'm following family lore.
