Hi, Richard - you are absolutely right, my ancestor Stephen Cawood (one of many Stephens!)
was killed 11 November 1675 defending the province of Maryland in the Susquehannok Indian
War. And John Cawood, b. 1514 in Cawood, England; died 1572 in London and was the
Queen's Royal Printer. The Bible he printed is sometimes called the Cawood Bible.
My ancestors moved from Maryland to Virginia and one of them, Berry Cawood, received a
land grant in Harlan Co., KY, having fought in the Revolutionary War. Cawood, Kentucky in
Harlan Co. is named after him and that is where my great grandfather (another Stephen
Cawood), my grandfather, and my father where born.
I have a copy of Richard Lawrence Cawood's wonderfully written book.
