HOUCHIN -
I am looking for any information I can get on William, Bertha, Wayne, Edna, and Deloris Houchin. I know there were 2 boys who owned sea food houses on the Potomac. I have a picture of their business that says Crab Shore. Also, I know Deloris was blind and she lived with her husband in Baltimore. I have a picture which I believe is Edna and her family. I remember my father telling me that President Monroe surveyed the road they lived on. In the 1920 census they lived in Washington, Westmorland County, Virginia. I think they may have lived near King George in 1958 when my parents and I visited all of them. Thanking you in advance for any information possible.
