About 6 years ago, I found a lot of Tormey related items in Baltimore while doing site work for a new house. I was told that a Confederate Cavalry Captain had kept his family there during the Civil War. This information was given to me by a neighbor that said they had helped care for the elderly Tormeys that had lived in the old house. He bought the property at some point. I believe that the Confederate Captain was Frank A. Tormey.
