Researching: PEACO

 

Looking for parents of John Peaco (Peco) b. 1812 and wife Mary b.1818.  Were living in the Peach Bottom area of Maryland.  Their children were Isaac, Hezekiah, Cyrus, John, Mary, Martha.  Some members of the family migrated to PA.  If anyone can help please let me know, interested in linking to other Peaco families.

 

Researching: WOLF

 
Looking to get further back in genealogy.
I am able to get back to Peter B. Wolf (b.1815) on the 1860 census living in PA (Oxford Twnshp) married to Ann b. 1816 (surname?).  Both of his parents were born in MD. He is shown living next to two other Wolf families in PA in 1860 and they may be family (Abraham Wolf and wife Frances).  I have been told they were Native American, and may be of mixed blood.

Researching: BOOTH, Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties MD

 

My deceased uncle James told me his grandfather's name was George. That would be my gggrandfather, George BOOTH, around late 1700 or early 1800.

My quest at this time is to find information on my female ancestors. I do not have a name for my gg grandmother.

My great grandmother was MARY BOOTH PITTS. Her husband was Thomas, they had 9 Booth children. Her second marriage was to Geno PITTS. She had one stepdaughter Stella PITTS. Mary died in the late 1940s in Annapolis, MD

My grandmother whom i am named for was LAURA BOOTH. Her maiden name was either WATTS or GREEN. She died about 1925 in Marley Neck, Anne Arundel County. Her husband was Elijah BOOTH. She died leaving 7 children, one was a new born baby who died shortly after Laura's death. My father was 6 years old at the time.

If anyone can connect any of the above surnames with BOOTH, i would appreciate any information available. Willing to share any research i have.
