William would be my 6th Great Grandfather.

"In 1776 William Earp of Baltimore Co., MD, sold a 100 acre tract there known as "Organ's Forest" for his mother, Mary (Budd) Earp, who is listed in the land deed as a resident of Fairfax County, Virginia.""Other early Earp records of interest include the names of the signers of the 1778 Oath of Fidelity to the newly formed government during the Revolutionary War. They were Edward Earp, Thomas Earp, Peddicord Earp and two William Earps, all of Anne Arundel Co. (later Howard) Maryland; and James Earp and William Earp of Montgomery Co., MD.It is worthy to note that not a single Earp name is found on the list of those persons who refused to take the oath of fidelity."

"Josiah Earp and Erasmus Earp, who were also Maryland Revolutionary Revolutionary War Soldiers, lived in Montgomery Co., MD.," (these were sons of William)" and were descendants of John Earp."
