Cresap Links

I added a set of links to information about the family of Thomas Cresap - Maryland Pioneer to the Collateral Families page of the HenthornFamily Wiki. One of the links explains the relationship of Frances (Low) Henthorn to the Cresap family. Two of the links are for Major General Edward Otho Cresap Ord for whom Fort Ord, California, was named.
