My Great-grandmother's death certificate has her birthplace listed as Port Abela, Maryland. She was born in 1860. I thought at one point in time I had found a similar named town in St. Mary's county listed under now defunct towns, but I can't seem to find that information again. Any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
