Though I am not actually working on the Horsey family, I have gathered a tremendous amount of information on them since Outerbridge Horsey was guardian of my George Wailes Moore. And through him I found that Outerbridge's mother and George's mother were both Wailes. Yes, I did read that they had come to Somerset Co, Md from Va. I don't have the county in front of me but I think it is this one. It seems that many people in that area came across the water from VA in the 1600s. My Simpers family may have come from Nonsemond Co, VA to Calvert Co, MD to Cecil Co, MD. I'm still trying to prove that. Nonsemond Co records were burned. I have Alexanders in Cecil Co and have established to my satisfaction at least that there were five different groups. One, the famous group, went to NC before the Revolution. I have no idea where my Alexanders came from to Cecil co at beginning of 1700s.
