I've now accumulated quite a few records from Queen Anne and Talbot Counties. I'm in the process of trying to sort through them and determine the lines. If you're interested, I'd be happy to drop off a copy the records on the way home from work one evening. You wrote: >"Rev. Frederick W.

It seems reasonable (though I have no knowledge of the practices at that time) that Deacons etc may have witnessed weddings. I didn't find any Richards though.

I have done very little Talbot or Queen Anne Co research. The 15 June 1694 Talbot Co. deed of William Neville to Sarah Noble is very interesting. This is three years before William produced a certificate (1697) saying he married Sarah Noble in Salem 28 Oct 1694. Westchester is not in Henry Gannett's 1904 Gazetteer of MD. Shirley
