Merlin Schenck Berry (Swanquat@aol.com), Fri Mar 28 07:32:06 EST 1997

I finally ran across you on a notice of linkage on Hyde County, NC page, and its link to the Brickhouse family page. My Berry tradition is that the Berrys landed in Accomack County in the 1700s, then scattered; mine line went to Hyde County, NC. I have 3 lilnes I think landed on the shore - BENSON, MASSEY, and BERRY. I have a Joel BARTEE who was came to Hyde, then left without - so far - a trace. Maybe from the VA shore also? Massey Benson was in Hyde 1790-1800 period, then disappears. I suspect he came from the Va. eastern shore and then returned. Any help I will appreciate, and provide what I have to anyone interested.

This information is great! I have found a lot of answers to some of the puzzels tp the Eastern Shore. I am researching the Copes family, the Dunton's, and the Ironmongers, and dabble in the Custis family. My Copes went to Ohio in about 1811 and ended up in Cincinnati. His name was William M Copes, and I believe his father was Sgt. Southy Copes who also moved to Ohio. Any information would be appreciated.

I'm very thankful for the rich history and traditions of the Eastern Shore. Hopefully, because of organizations like yours that tradition and history will be around for my son to enjoy. People today don't realize the value of something until they've lost it. Hopefully that won't be the case with the beautiful area of the Eastern shore that God has given us to enjoy

Somehow I stumbled into this section on my first foray into the WWW--if that's where I am! Does anyone have any info regarding Higgason's Branch where a mill was located around 1678? Found reference to it in Ralph T. Whitelaw's book Virginia's Eastern Short, 2 vols., Gloucester, MA (1968). Also, does anyone know anything about Peter Higinson/Higginson who was transported to Va.'s Eastern Shore by John Towlson 1640-45. Also interested in Samuel Higgons, whose will is recorded in Northampton County, VA in 1703. He was a chiurgeon (surgeon). As you've probably figured, I'm interested in Higgerson, Higgason, Hickerson, and all soundalikes.

Fascinating resource. I am attempting to trace my maternal ancestry, the Bunting family. Through someone else's efforts, I have them reaching Selbyville, Delaware at the beginning of the 19th century. Rumor has it that an English sea captain, arring in Accomack County, Virginia, is the first Bunting to arrive in America. Supposedly, he is the beginning of the Bunting line on the Eastern Shore. Would appreciate any help I could get to fill in the gap.

Your web page is great. Have some idea of the work since we are trying to formulate one for our retirement community. Oh, yes, I'm one of the 'transparent' ghotes - watching the listings and rarely, if ever, corresponding.
In the 1704 Rent Roll for Northampton County, there are two Griffin names listed. Jeremiah - 345 acres and Benja - 200 acres. Is there any other information that might link either of these to Samuel Griffin who purchased property on Duck Creek, Delaware in 1709? Delaware is 'almost' part of the Eastern Shore.
Best of luck with your homepage.
Bill Griffin.
