Couldn't resist adding my 2 cents on the subject. Among those early settlers joining the early MD settlement were my Tubb and Reynolds folks who had been in NC/SC for quite some time before heading west. Same with the Drivers who had (along with Reynolds, Gay and related lines) been in VA before NC... The Tubb line I THINK was also in VA before heading to NC/SC and then TN - I know the Fishers who were linked with this Tubb family were in Halifax Co. VA mid 1700's...
