Because so few of Capt. Norwoods descendents carry his surname (only 952), this reunion
has evolved into an old families of Maryland reunion especially the families of
Frederick, Montgomery, Carroll, Howard--(the four corners area) and Anne Arundel. But we
touch just about every other county in Maryland and Washington DC too!
Do you have a relative who happens to have the first name or middle name of Norwood?
Wonder where it came from? Maybe they are descendent from a female branch of Norwood. Do
you have a great with no surname?
My 6th great-grandmother was Elizabeth Norwood who married Nehemia Moxley. At past
reunions I have met Beall and Watkins who are closer in relationships to me and we come
from different Norwoods.
PLEASE COME AND JOIN USEVEN IF YOU ARE JUST A GENEALOGY FANATIC IN THE AREA.
The rest of us are certifiable. The treatment is meeting others that are of like
spirit.
