My family tree sprouts from four different branches, Ghyll, Hinson, Sobers and Williams. For the record, at least three of the family names, Ghyll, Hinson and Sobers, are of British origin. We picked up Ghyll from Wales and Sobers from the British West Indian Island of Barbados. To-date, we've not traced Hinson or Williams beyond America.

All information contained on this page relates to an African American family that resided and still resides in Baltimore, Maryland. The records contained in this family tree indicate that the family has been in Baltimore, Maryland since at least 1767 - the birth of Abner Coker.
