Hi Wendy,
I haven't heard about this before, but looking at the map shown at:
http://www.mgs.md.gov/esic/features/cave/dman.html
it appears "Dead Man's Cave is located in the Sang Run area, where our Sines
were centered.
I'll start going through my Sines files to see which familes were in the
area during the 1860s. Maybe there are some list members who can tell us
something in the meantime.

Bye for now,
Kathleen
