  • Ancestral Colonial Families
    Ancestral Colonial Families GENEALOGY of THE WELSH AND HYATT FAMILIES OF MARYLAND AND THEIR KIN; Giving The Colonial Generations of The Howard, Hammond, Maccubbin, Griffith, Greenberry, Dorsey, Van Sweringen, Baldwin, Gaither, Warfield and Duvall Families. By LUTHER W. WELSH, A. M., M. D., Kansas City, Mo. Lambert Moon Printing Co. Independence, Mo. 1928 PREFACE. The writing of this ibook has been a labor of love to its author. The families given, with probably one exception, are his own ancestral families, and ,as such he has studied them with a regard for accuracy not always found in works of unrelated professionals. It is not pos­ sible to avoid all error in a work of this kind, from inadvertence or limited information, but it is believed such errors have been reduced to the minimum. The author will gladly welcome corrections. In the "Genealogy of the Welsh and Hy,att Families" he has sought to conserve in permanent form the many records he has gath­ ered in the research of years, many of which otherwise would become pevmanently lost to these families. The intrinsic value of genealogy, ihowever, fromJ the biologioal standpoint, does not lie in any one or two ancestral sources, but in all the elements that have contributed to the formation of the individual life and character. Hence, in the "Colonial Generations of Kindred Families," is given something of the origin and early history of these families-all of whom have been notivbly prominent in Md. history-whose blood strains have entered into and become a component part of the life-stream of almost all of the in­ dividual families who are represented herein.

Walnut Grove includes a stately two and ½ story stone house built circa 1810 by Gassaway Watkins, a Revolutionary War veteran, gentleman farmer, and slaveholder. The 1810 house improved on earlier dwellings on the property that Watkins had inherited. Watkins’s enslaved people once transported the family in horse-drawn carriages to and from this comfortable home that retains the refined southern charm of its former owners.

URING the life of my father CHRISTIAN MAYER, of Baltimore, many D Chronicles and Family Papers were sent to him by his father, from Ulm, in Wiirtemberg, and carefully preserved by him until his death. Since that time I have added largely to this stock by correspondence with the vari­ ous branches of our family in Germany and America; and, being urged by several kinsmen, I determined to draw up from these materials, as complete a Genealogical Memoir as I could compile. I have been kindly assisted iu the labor of gathering names and dates from the several alliances of the Mayers in, I may truly say, all parts of the globe,-for our kindred are scattered not only over America and Europe, but have wandered to Australia, the Cape of Good Hope, and the distant Ceylon. Ou ibis Continent, they are dispersed from Nova Scotia to Florida and Texas,-and from Maryland to California. I have thus reunited to the parent stocks of the Mayers of Pennsylvania and Maryland, the offshoots that went, after the War of Independence, partly to South Carolina; and partly with the "loyalist emigration," to Nova Scotia and Great Britain. I think it will be admitted that, by the kind aid of cousins in all these quarters, I have been singularly successful in obtaining such large and complete lists of consanguinities and dates. It is probable that my quest has often been annoying to kindred who were addressed for information.
