H. & L. 39 (not 69) and 40. The transcript is listed here, at Archives of Maryland 2:205-206 http://www.msa.md.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000002/html/am2--205.html The second transcript is the Archives of Maryland 2:549 at: http://aomol.net/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000002/html/am2--549.html and would appear the original is W. H. & L.: 126, rather than W. H.: 127. There are also other numerous mentions of Garret VanSwearingen in this volume 2. Note that the transcript of the Americanized spelling lists that Garret was born at "Reensterdwan." The actual location where there are records of him is Rijnsaterwoude. As for the original W.H. & L., it's location and source is listed as: http://guide.mdsa.net/series.cfm?action=viewSeries&ID=s973 Rick Saunders Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
