Baltimore Bound: Three Pathways to the City and the Families that Followed Them, 1680-1923 - Mary Claire Bavis. By 1800, Baltimore was becoming a magnet for people from all over the state and elsewhere. This is the story of a couple from Kent and Talbot counties who came to Baltimore about 1802. There, one of their daughters married John Appleby of Montgomery County. By 1850, they were joined by families from Anne Arundel County. The Anne Arundel County families had also migrated to Charles County and later to Garrett County, Maryland. The original families were: Ball, Kemp, Webb, Shield, Appleby, Wells, Button and Irving. Quaker values melded with strong the Methodist bent of the times to influence their lives. The story is told from family letters, from the early writings of family member, Amelia Welby, whose volume of poetry went through 14 editions in 1846 and from the work of an earlier and reputable family genealogist. It is reinforced by archival records, census data, newspaper clippings and modern family records. Allied families are: Burton, Culver, Coppuck, Dawes, Fowler, Eunick, Grant, Henckle, Huff, Jones, Martin, McClintock, Miller, Oberndorf, Rehn, Sincell, Simpson, Welby, West, Wilkens, Winston. 2002, 6x9, cloth, index, 340 pp. $25.00 B3604 ISBN: 078843604X
