WATTS posted by Robert Watts on Monday, August 4, 2003

John WATTS received a patent for 200 acres in August 1650. The description mentions Mockjack Bay and Ducking Pond Creek. The land was adjacent to land of William Holder, which was bordered by Horne Harbor Creek. I believe that this was close to Back Creek in Somerset Co. Can someone locate this area?

BOZMAN, LAWRENCE, MOORE, SHORES, WALLACE posted by K. Michael Thompson on Sunday, November 30, 2003

I have been attempting to find the European (Scots-Irish ?) roots of my Somerset County, Maryland families, including WALLACE, SHORES, MOORE and HACKNEY. I am descended from Polly WALLACE (1789-1855), wife of Thomas SHORES (1789- 1858). That is as far back as I can trace the Wallace line and the Shores line goes back to his grandfather, also named Thomas Shores (born about 1737). Thomas' father, Levin Lowe Shores (1762-1831) was married to Bridget MOORE (1775-1849, daughter of Darby MOORE and Margery HACKNEY. I am related to these lines through the LAWRENCE / BOZMAN family of Monie in Somerset County.
