Herold and Surratt

[L Verge]

This is putting Southern Maryland names in Washington, D.C. Can we check 1860 Federal Census records for Charles County, Maryland, to see if Forrest Queen and French Queen are listed as related to Dr. William Queen - the first contact Booth made upon coming to Bryantown?

Dominic Burch ran the Bryantown Tavern in 1864. Wonder if that's the Burch that Davey hunted with? Also, there were Burches who lived about two miles south of Surrattsville, Wards who lived about two miles southwest of Surrattsville, and John Surratt's uncles (Zadoc and Archibald Jenkins) who lived about two miles northeast of Surrattsville.

I'm inclined to think along the same lines as Jim: Mr. Nokes is being led in his statement.
