    3. Anybody have anything on this lady ? I added her to www.findagrave.com Her father MAY have been Charles E. Ketcham of Amityville, Suffolk County, L. I. & mother Mary Parks of Somerset County, Md. {Eastern Shore}; her husband Willis E. Overton was born in Stony Brook, Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, L. I.; Willis & family were in Northumberland County, Virginia, per 1880 census & in Calvert County by 1894. Suffolk County was the home of the Ryder, Smith, Mosher, & Beebe oystermen/watermen who ended up along the St. Mary's shore of the Patuxent - Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Laurel Grove; Joy Chapel M. E. Church, Hollywood; Ebenezer M. E. Church, Great Mills - all have people connected to these men in their cemeteries; Overton across the Patuxent at Solomons M. E. Church. I finally connected my Brookhaven ancestry to a Mosher woman marrying a Norton man in Brookhaven - back about 1700; so I'm distantly related to the Moshers in Hollywood; ditto the Smiths in Hollywood. Anyway, what's known about these OVERTONs in Calvert County ? Overton is an old name in Brookhaven, Suffolk County. Thanks !
