Replying to Victoria Carter. Hi, my name is Jamie (Cecil) Eyre. I may have some
information that could helpful. My great-grandfather was Bernard E. Cecil, born around
1890 in Western Maryland. I think he may have been born in Cumberland or Cresaptown, I
don't really know but that is where my Cecil ancestors/relatives are from. From the
info I was given by my great-uncle Carl Cecil, brother to my grandfather Joseph, their
father Bernard had 3 other full siblings. They were Harry, Beaulah, and Minna. Bernard
and his 3 siblings father was named James P. Cecil and their mother was named Elizabeth
Starkey or Starlsey. I've seen both spellings so I'm not sure which one is
correct. James P. Cecil was married before to another woman although I don't know her
name and he had 4 children from that prior marriage. I hope some of this sounds familiar
to you. The only Cecil's that I am directly related to that I know are still living
in Cresaptown are my second cousin Sharon Ce!
cil and her mother Betty. Sharon has 2 brothers that may be living in the area now too
but I'm not really sure about that. It's been a couple years since I've
talked to her or seen her. (I live in Hawaii.) If you have any information that could
help me flesh out my family research, I would greatly appreciate any help! Please let me
know if this helped you! :) God Bless!
