Hi there, thanks for the reply. I had read about the Cecil's of England when I was a
teenager. It would be interesting to know if I descend from them, but I haven't got
anywhere near finding that out yet. I don't even know who my Cecil ancestor that
crossed the pond. I haven't been able to find anyone in my direct Cecil line past my
great-great-great grandfather Philip from Maryland. The Maryland land grant idea could
possibly be a false lead, but that's really all I have to go on since I can't
actually research in person in Maryland (I live in Florida right now). Also, purchasing
birth and death records from the Maryland Archives is so expensive, I have to save my
pennies for that. :) Eventually, I will get copies of what I can, so maybe I will find
some new names and places that will help me further my search. I need to find out how to
search military records in London as well, maybe I will find some info there. Thanks for
the help though. :)
If anyone else might know or have heard about an American land grant given to a Cecil,
please reply to this post or email me at eyre_jamie(a)hotmail.com. Thanks in advance for
the help!
