I am looking for a family property on Nanticoke Road, and don't know if that is located in Wicomico County. The property would have been owned in the 1930s by the family names of ASHER, or RAPS, or MARSH. Do I have the right county? Is it possible to check property location and ownership?

His father was Harold Cochran HEARN who owned a hotel in Salisbury. (Which one I do not know.) He married Francis TILGHMAN Hearn in 1907.

I am the great, great, great niece of Palmer SHOCKLEY, son of William Jason SHOCKLEY, who was born in Somerset Co. on Feb. 27, 1884. If anybody has any stories or information on the family I'd love to hear from you.
I am looking for a connection From the Grinnalds of Accomack Co. Virginia to Wicomico County. I know that the family changed it's name in the mid 1700's to GRINNELL. I am trying to trace my family roots and my Grinnells are from Mathews County, Virginia. I have been told that the Grinnells in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina originated from one Richard Grinnalds from England who came to Accomack County, Virginia in 1700. I was wondering if anyone may have information that may lead me to one William Grinnell born about 1750-1765. It is said that he was in Mathews County, by 1810.
Looking for any information on Henrietta PURNELL, b. ca 1836, married Thomas W. LITTLETON, b. ca 1815-19. In the 1860 census they lived in Bishopville, St. Martin’s District, Worcester County, MD. Known children: Henry C., (1856-1936), Elizabeth b. ca 1858. Henry Littleton's obituary indicated that Thomas and Henrietta were from Pittsville, MD.
I am researching the history of the HEARN family of Wicomico County, Maryland or Sussex County, Delaware. The Hearns lived in Delmar which is a town that is split down the middle. Therefore, it could be Maryland or Delaware. My great uncle was William Handy HEARN, Jr., born in 1888, and his father was William Handy HEARN Sr. The Hearns I am researching are of African descent. I understand the town of Delmar was established by William HEARN, a caucasian. Even a history of the town would be interesting to know.
