This is good advise. I have a John Trammel in the book This Was the Life; Excerpts from the Judgment Records of Frederick County, Maryland 1748-1765. by Millard Milburn Rice. In November 2754 John Trammel Jr. petitioned the court to operating a Ferry at or near Potowmack (Potomac) near a place called Conoy Island. In 1755 a John Trammel brought suit for money owed him. In 1759 a John Trammel was sued by Dr. Troutwine for services rendered. I know the feeling! In another book Montgomery County Marriage License 1798-1898 by Manuel. There are 6, Trammels mentioned. Please give me the names you are looking for. Helen Hi, I am interested in the Dailey family connected to Trammell. Do you know where they came from or parents? Some Trammell's can be found in Frederick and Montgomery Cos, Maryland. Look around Brunswick and Point of Rocks. There was a Trammellstown (?sp) near there too. Your Dailey's might be there too. Also consider different spellings for Dailey, such as, Daly. Valerie --------------------------------- Brings words and photos together (easily) with PhotoMail - it's free and works with Yahoo! Mail.
