I am especially interested in Bryan since he is a local boy, his family is listed in the Surratt account books for the tavern -- and it doesn't hurt that the President of the Maryland State Senate is a relative of his.

Another Surrattsville name to look for (more in the area of being a safehouse or part of the Doctor's Line) would be Dr. Wyvill of Burton Hall.

Laurie. I have some info on Wyvill - just enough to do some more searching. I need to dig in my files to find his involvement in the "Doctor Line". He was educated to be a Doctor but did not practice.
Dr. Edward H. Wyvill (1812 - 1894) 12002 Thrift Rd. Clinton, MD. (It's down a dirt road.) Orig. house burned , rebuilt 1894. Married Caroline M. Hawkins. There is a Diary extant, written by Harietta Patience Ward, ed. by James Waner Bellah, contains household activity in the 1860's. Current house owner Ms Nancy Wolfe. box 218, Notley Hall, Chaptico, Md. Farm was known variously as "Appledoor", "Wheeler's Hope", "Edelen's Rest", and "Montpelier"
