Contribution from grandson Edward O. Pete:
My grandparents Tuffield & Gertrude moved to Cambridge,
Maryland in the 1930's. The children's last name I believe was spelled
Pete. I do not know why this is but there have been tales that Tuffield
was a bootlegger in the Prohibition Period and changed his name.
