They were related to Felix Grundy who's niece married William Myers who was the son of Jacob. In any event, all of them seem to be from Emmitsburg MD and conneced in some way with the Catholic Church. The Talbotts in MD were well known Catholics. They would know Daniel Boone as Daniel Boone was interested in becoming Catholic for a rather large land grant near New Madrid. You needed to be Catholic to get these grants that were given out by the King of Spain. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
