RICKARDS posted by Charles G. Rickards on Wednesday, September 12, 2001

My GG Gradfather Lemuel W. Rickards was born 11/5/1805 in Cedar Neck, Delaware, and died 1/24/1885 in Cedar Neck. We searched the grave sites at Mariner UMC in Ocean View and found many Rickards but not Lemuel. I just had an E-Mail from the Pastor of the Presbyterian Church on Central Ave. in Ocean View who sent me the names of the Rickards in their church yard but still not Lemuel. He did say that members of his church told him that there are unattended cemetries in Cedar Neck that may be the site. I would greatly appreciate any information regarding the location or any family references

They lived in the Laurel area. She died and he remarried but there were no children in the second marriage. They were farmers. There were three other children from this marriage: Katherine, Edward and James. This family still lives in and around Laurel. Thanks for the info.

HAMILTON posted by Alice A. Metzloff on Thursday, September 27, 2001

Looking for information regarding my paternal twice great grandfather John HAMILTON. I do not have much information about him other than the following: I believe John HAMILTON was born in Delaware, Sussex County in 1844 (Parents/siblings unknown)due to it's proximity to Federalsburg, Caroline County, MD and East New Market, Dorchester County, MD, two places that John HAMILTON shows up with documented proof. Sometime in his teens/early 20's, John HAMILTON leaves birth state of Delaware for Federalsburg, Caroline County, Maryland/East New Market, Dorchester County,MD. Meets and marries 18 year old Susan M. Page of East New Market, Dorchester County, MD on September 29, 1871 by a Rev. Jas. L. Kenny. After marriage, JOHN HAMILTON and wife, Susan M. Page, return to East New Market, Dorchester County, MD where they raise three sons: William Andrew Hamilton (my paternal great grandfather) born 1/23/1873, Norris Hamilton and Charles Hamilton (birthdates unknown). Sometime within their late teens/early 20s (assumptions): William Andrew Hamilton moves to Beaver Falls, PA; Charles Hamilton moves to Washington, DC; and Norris Hamilton moves to Oxford, Talbot county, MD. (Confirmed in William Andrew's March 9,1939 obituary) I believe that John HAMILTON/Susan M. Page moved from East New Market, Dorchester County, MD to Oxford, Talbot County, MD to live out their old age with their son Norris Hamilton (unconfirmed). It is possible they died and were buried within this Oxford, Talbot County, MD area. All three sons of John HAMILTON and Susan M. (Page) are deceased. Charles and Norris Hamilton would have died between 1950 and 1970. Married or had children unknown. William Andrew Hamilton died at 66 years of age on March 3, 1939 in Canton, Stark county, OH and is buried within Beaver Falls Cemetery, Beaver Falls, Beaver County, PA along side son (my paternal grandfather) William Paige Hamilton.
