Also, have read old bio's/family records/bibles left behind from the late 1700's at my local Peabody Institute's Genealogical Holdings, now owned by John Hopkins Hospital/University located on Monument St., Baltimore, MD and there are 2 brothers and if my memory serves me correctly, a sister that migrated into a SC settlement in the late very early 1800's. I just never had the time to try and tie them in. Hope this helps.
