Eric, Our ancestors never moved by themselves but in groups and I find it really interesting to see who might have moved with whom. Had forgotten about the Hartsfields from Md. or actually thought they were from Pa. Outside of Somerset Co I am totally ignorant of other parts of Md especially Baltimore Co. This is my first forey into it. According to Clair, Joppa, where Richard Caswell was from and now Abraham Taylor, is in present day Harford Co. Wonder if the Taylors and Harfields might have moved together or one because of the other or the Caswells. Might need to take a closer look at the Vestry Records as any family in them would have known about each other. Bunch of Days in it, but Patty said her husband was from New England.
