| Comments: | I was just checking out the websit. Nice work. I am looking for information on two specific areas. The first is about six miles below Vienna at Henry's crossroads. I am looking for photos of the old church at that location taken before 1953 when my grandfather Powell Horsman bought it and turned it into a boatshop, I am also looking for old photos of the house and steamboat wharf at Lewis's Wharf. The second area is an old home on David Greene road in the Town Point area. It was patented under the name of "Oyster Point". In later years it became known as "Peikan Lodge" It was a summer camp for girls in the 1920's and 30's.It was was run and by a Magaret Kline. I am also looking for old photos and information on the summer camp. |

| Comments: | Recently bought my first house in Cambridge! (still a shore native, born & raised in Talbot). I have a small photo album during/after civil war era. One carte de visite is of THOMAS HOLLIDAY HICKS & appears to have been signed by him (as compared w/ documents at the court house). I'm looking for photos of his family to compare / identify the other photos in the album. Curious note: one photo is of a little person (dwarf, to be direct) wearing what appears to be a civil war uniform. Any Dorc.Co historian have an idea who he might be? |

If perhaps, anyone amongst your membership, is knowledgeable of Holland Island's history prior to 1730, I would enjoy speaking with them. Capt. Staphen Holland, born in Nansemond County, Virginia in 1654 owned the island (though no royal patent has been found) and said island remained in the Holland family for almost 100 years. |

I hope some show up in your display. My absolute best to Tommy, Smitty and Ronny, names and people I remember from the good old days in Cambridge.

| Comments: | Mine is a genealogy question. My Great grand-father, Josiah Mitchell was born in Maryland around 1837 but the only other connection I have found is his father Cyrus - a Cyrus Mitchell married Betsy Richardson in Dorchester County in 1793. I hope the two are connected but is there, by any chance, any Mitchell family from Dorchester being researched by anyone? Can anyone recommend a good genealogy researcher who might be able to assist? Maryland looks a wonderful place to visit - if I ever get any firm evidence of ancestry I'll make a visit to the state. |

| Comments: | I too am seeking ancestors for William TURPIN, b. 1650 (I have for his birth location: "at sea, on way from France") who m. Margaret IVERY. Here is some history that might help someone: from book, “Turpin of Maryland”, by Mrs. Mary Turpin Layton, Tacoma Park, MD.: “William Turpin, the progenitor of the Turpin family of Maryland, was transported into Maryland by Captain Luke Gardiner of St. Mary’s County, Maryland, in 1661. The same year Luke Gardiner transferred these rights to James Lindsey, who claimed the rights of the 50 A. of land which was given by Lord Baltimore for each settler transported into the Province to inhabit. William Turpin remained on the Western Shore of Maryland for several years, as in 1664 we find Luke Gardiner and William Turpine as witness to a deed in St. Mary’s County. This is the only record we find of his signature and shows that he wrote his own name, spelling it ‘William Turpine’. On all other records, recorded by others, his name is spelled ‘Turpin’. He later settled in Somerset County, Maryland, where he was married by Mr. John Winder, January 16, 1668, to Margaret Ivory, born July 7, 1654, in Hungers Parish, Northampton County, Virginia.” |

| Comments: | Dear Dorchester County, MD Historical Society: I am trying to see about a potential program to compare and contrast current Escape and Evade tactics of the US Military with those of the slaves and conductors on the Underground Railroad. I do volunteer work with the Friends of Oakley Cabin and the Underground Railroad in Montgomery County, Maryland. We are about fifteen miles, NNW of Washington, DC. On July 8 there will be "Montgomery County History Day" and November 4 will be the "Maryland State Emancipation Day" programs. Also, on this date will be the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Underground Railroad/Quaker Legacy Trail that will run from Oakley Cabin in Brookeville, MD to Norwood, MD. I am trying to be given the contact information of a person in the Washington, DC/Baltimore, MD/Maryland Eastern Shore area whose related to Harriet Tubman or could tell us about her use of escape and evade tactics before and during the Civil War. I would like to have this person that may know about Escape and Evade tactics who would be able to come out to one or more programs at Oakley Cabin and/or Woodlawn Manor. Another person, versed in the Escape and Evade tactics of the US Military would then be able to give a comparison talk. My contact information: 202-501-5395, ext. 376 work 301-869-1306 home hugh.clayton@nara.gov Thanks. Sincerely, Hugh |
