Thanks Joe...and Happy Holidays! I would appreciate that as I think there may be some connection to a FOREMAN family and perhaps WILLOUGHBY (About which I know Zilch!). I have found that there was a PERRY FOREMAN living in Queen Anne's Co. who possibly married a SADIE SAVAGE, but the researcher's emaill address is no longer valid. Maybe somebody out there know's of this FOREMAN. I don't know any dates concerning PERRY FOREMAN. Perhaps there is some tie between this FOREMAN and my DAFFIN and/or WILLOUGHBY. (looking for any new "trails" to get over the "Brick Walls"! Perhaps MARY WILLOUGHBY was from Queen Anne's Co. All I know is she married my gggrandfather and I estimate her date of birth from the Census as about 1825.

DAFFIN m. MARY WILLOUGHBY. They had a son born abt. 1852 and named him PERRY FOREMAN DAFFIN. It appears there were quite a few FOREMAN/FORMAN families in Queen Anne's Co. and it would seem likely there may be some close connection between the families to give Perry the middle name "FOREMAN". Perry was born "near Hillsboro", so states his death certificate. Although that was Caroline Co., it is right at the border of Queen Anne's Co. Does anybody have any marriages or other connections between FOREMAN and WILLOUGHBY, or FOREMAN and DAFFIN?>> Richard Largaespada <A HREF="http://daffin.org">The Daffin Family Tree</A>
