Hi Vince, I remember you from the Pilly list. I'm still looking for birth place for my George Terrell/Tyrrell who married Jane Street in Phila Feb 1789 in the Third Presby. Church and moved eventually to the "Wedge" between MD, PA and DE. Jane Terrell was 78(born PA) on the 1850 MD Census(living alone)too bad George didn't make it(died 1845) then I'd know where he was born!!!! Mary in AL On Wed, 27 Aug 2003 12:22:52 -0400 "Vincent E.
