full Isle of Somewhere" The 6eceas-
ed was born in Long Neck. He has
lived in Baltimore Hundred for
number of years, having been an
able blacksmith in earlier years. He

lie Evans of this town, who became
the mother of his two children, Will
mer and Charles Steele. After the
death of their mother, when the boys
