Looking for info on members of the TIMMONS family: Joseph, Elijah (served in Maryland Militia, Sinepuxent Battalion), John, Ephraim, as well as Joseph's spouse, Elizabeth HAMMOND, daughter of Captain William HAMMOND. These Timmons were probably all born in Worcester Co., married and died there as well. Thanks for any help you can offer. Willing to pay for copies.

HINDMAN, HINMAN posted by Eileen Doyle on Saturday, June 3, 2006

Searching for any information on William T. HINDMAN/HINMAN. William was allegedly from the Snow Hill or Crisfield area. He was born in Worcester Country about 1823 and married Sarah R. BOON in Baltimore on July 6, 1848. Family legend is that he died at sea about 1858. He may possibly be the son of Ralph and Polly HINDMAN/HINMAN. William is a stone wall and I would be grateful for any leads.

Trying to locate the correct William CAREY, father of Nancy CAREY FOOKS, born 1794 in Worcester Co., MD. Can anyone help?

BEACHBOARD, GRAY posted by Johnny Edwin Gray, Jr. on Tuesday, January 9, 2007

I am looking for any information I can find about the two-masted schooner "Molly Beachboard". It was owned and captained by my great grandfather, William Henry GRAY of Girdletree, sometime around 1880 to 1926. The ship's home port may have been Public Landing or Taylors Landing. The BEACHBOARD family of Worcester county did sell a schooner named "Speedwell" around this time. Did my grandfather buy her and rename her the "Molly Beachboard"? If anyone knows of the "Molly Beachboard" please reply.

CARROLL, PRICE posted by Bob McEachern on Monday, January 29, 2007

Frances PRICE CARROLL died in Oct. 1978, according to the SSDI, in Ocean City, MD. She was born Nov. 29, 1894, and so would have been about 83 years old at her death. She was the wife of Thomas Fitzgerald CARROLL, a Methodist minister in the Virginia Methodist Conference, and I was told that Frances would spend summers in Ocean City. PRICE, I believe, was her maiden name. I would like to obtain a copy of Frances' obituary, and any information available on her Price forbears, if indeed that was her maiden name. Thank you.
