The Naylors of Woodborough

by JOSEPH Y. ROWE, et al

There is the old adage that you don’t know where you are going until you know where you have been. In The Naylors of Woodborough, the authors have traced the journey of their immigrant ancestor, George Nailor, from Yorkshire, England to colonial Maryland where he established his first farm, Woodborough. Subsequent generations built upon George’s legacy. The Naylor story follows several themes common to the settling of the U.S.—immigration, upward mobility, westward expansion, and connection to land, community, and military service.

This volume presents not only extensive genealogical information but also casts that information in a larger historical context. The authors have painstakingly researched official records and original documents in the United States and United Kingdom, compiled oral histories, and related personal anecdotes to share interesting stories about this family and their American experience.
