The FLINT's seemed to own these properties in the area of Somerset/Worcester/Wicomico Counties. Would like to know exact area and if there are drawings of where the tracts in these areas were?

Dick, I do what Myles and Lexie have suggested, routinely, as a way to get selected email from my inbox, or any other mail folder, into my database or wherever. But that way is not effective, if the computer (hard disk) crashes. If I wanted to backup inbox email, I would turn on my external zip drive when I turned computer on, block, copy, and paste onto a "mail" folder on the zip disk. For just some relatively small emails we could do the same thing by simply sending the info to a floppy disk using the

11. [LDR] Ulster Scots in Somerset [1]
Hi Folks, From "The MacNauchtan Saga", Vol. Two (1951) by V.V. McNitt, p. 21, he briefly mentions the Ulster Scots in Somerset County, Maryland. What I'm looking for is the primary source citation for a quote McNitt gives "from Bolton's Scotch-Irish Pioneers the words of Edward Randolph. Writing to the Commissioners of Customs from James City on June 27, 1692, he gave his opinion of the Ulster Scots in Somerset County in the following. . ." In the actual quote (for which I want the source) Col. Brown,

I asked the Md Historical Trust this very question regarding shipyards and/or shipwrecks. The answer was that "a few shipwrecks have been located" but that there's been almost nothing done in Somerset/Worcester, and that there's a grad student who's interested in cataloguing early MD shipyard sites (I suppose this implies findign them first). Which implies
18. [LDR] perhaps Peter Fairbank? [1]
All the discussion about indentured servants and apprenticeships has sparked my imagination! There is a persistent rumor in my family that some "great" came over as a stow-away, concealed under the masthead of the ship and was nearly dead when he was found. Some who told the rumor said the ship was Finnish. Does anyone know if ships sailed to the ES from Finland in the late 1700's? My ancestor candidate for this tale is Peter Fairbank. He's first found in the 1800 Talbot Co. census living with a young male

Does anyone know where the Alms House was located in Wicomico county md in the early 1900s. I am searching for Algernon Puckum (no birth or death certificate on file in MD) who died there in his nineties. If so, would there by chance be a graveyard for their residents or does anyone know where they buried them. Any information on the Alms house in or near Wicomico would be deeply appreciated! THANKs!
