While this is not strictly a St. Mary's County query, the WATERS family is found in various areas of MD (as well as northern VA). I have a Philemon Waters I ,b.? b. abt. 1680/1990 d. 1753 VA, possibly a Huguenot, who may immigrated about 1700, and began a line of several Philemons. Would any one know if there is a connection between this Waters family and that of Capt. Edward Waters (c. 1583-1630), husband of Grace Neale??? Karen

Yes, there is definitely a connection between Philemon Waters and Captain Edward Waters who married Lady Grace O'Neil ( not the same family as the early Captain James Neale family of Maryland). Lots of info by Googling "Capt. Edward Waters", England to get info on the Edward and then "Philemon Waters", Virginia to get info on Philemon.
