Susan Kelly Hancock, born May 19, 1947 in Henderson, Henderson, Kentucky; married (1) Milton Griggs November 30, 1974 in Waverly, Union, Kentucky; born June 28, 1936 in Union Co.

Notes for Milton Griggs: Hi Kelly, You have no idea how helpful you have been to me with the information that you have provided. You have opened so many doors that I hardly know where to start. I have lots of information on the Griggs ancestry, but there are some places that I have gaps where generations are not tied together properly. For instance, I have, since childhood, loved and respected the Hosbachs and Kellens, not realizing until recent years that we were related. You have connected the gap between Sam (and Elizabeth) to Charity Ann. My brother, Broc, used to date Betty Kellen. He did not know, until I told him recently, that she is a cousin. I have always been crazy about the whole Hosbach family, Mr. Ernest, Mrs Hosbach (I can't remember her name), Barbara, Bill, Carolyn, Peggy, Sam & Tutor (Marianna). Barbara and I had a hot summer romance during the summer of 1950, but sorta faded away after I went back to school in the fall. My Dad had quite an affection for Waverly and its people. Of course, he grew up in the Casey Creek Bottom, just a stone's throw from Waverly. Although he never told me that they were relatives, I could always tell who he had the most respect for. The two men in Waverly that he seemed to have the greatest respect for was Ernest Hosbach and Sam Kellen. He was also very close to the Hancocks & Rapiers. Yes, I grew up in Union Co., the first 10 years between Waverly and Boxville. Then, when the federal government condemned our land in 1942, we moved to Grove Center. Milton Young and I were fairly close when we were children, but when we moved to Grove Center and they moved to Poole, we didn't see one another often. I was closer to R. D. than any of my second cousins because he and I were the same age. I think Milton Young was maybe 4 years younger than me. He was closer to the age of my brother, Jerry. My g grandfather (John Nicholas I), while living in the Hitesville area, bought the Milton Young farm in Casey Creek bottom. The house that your Milton Young grew up in was the main house on that large farm and wasa known on the historical registry as the "Milton Young House". It was a beautiful old brick with slave quarters in the basement and the 3rd floor, with a separate spiral staircase for the slaves that went from the basement to the 3rd floor. But, the main stairway was a sweeping, ornate staircase of the antebellum type. As I'm sure you know, Milton and Bill (Ewell) continued to live there with Aunt Lala all those years after Uncle Roland hanged himself. And that was where Milton Young was born. John Nicholas I retired when he was 40 years old, split the big old farm 3 ways, giving it to his 3 sons, my grandfather (John Minor), Uncle Roland and Uncle Bob (Robert Lee). While giving the farms to his sons, he gave his daughters money instead. He and g grandmother (Lavina Minton) moved in with their children and moved from one to another. Although he appeared to think that he would not live much longer by retiring at 40, he lived to the ripe old age of 96. Of all of Uncle Roland's offspring, I was closer to John William and Evelyn than any of them. I'm sure that that was partly because John and Ev remained in Union County, while the others moved out of the county, Bill and Milton to Webster Co. and Robert to Henderson Co. Are you aware that Evelyn died just about a year ago? My brother, Bill, and I went over to see her in Illinois in the nursing home where she was about 2 weeks before she died. Although she was frail, she was still the sassy Ev that she always was. You may wonder why I keep referring to g grandfather as John Nicholas I. I have to use it that way in my Family Tree Program. My father is John Nicholas II and my oldest son is John Nicholas III. Pardon me for rambling on so. I guess I could go on for days. I have an extreme interest in my ancestry. I have a pressing deadline on another project right now, so give me a few days and I will have a packet in the mail for you. I'm glad to find a new cousin. It looks like we are connected two different ways. John More About Milton Griggs: Occupation: 1978, Accountant ii. John P.

She was 1 1/2 and her brother Sam was 6 mos. when Nathaniel died. There was a family conflict at that time as who was going to raise them and from what my grandmother was told, it had to do with religion and wanting my grandmother and her brother to go to Smith Mills from Waverly. Both Nathaniel and his wife (Elizabeth Hosbach) were Catholics. Apparently, Charity Ann Griggs was not. A "custody battle" occurred that almost severed relationships between the Hosbach's and Charity Ann. Another element is that Nathaniel and his brother Edward married sisters (Elizabeth and Mame Hosbach). My mother knew and was close friends with Edward's grandson, Buddy but remembers/knows little about her other Kellen cousins.

Notes for John Spalding Payne: "John Spalding Payne, farmer of Waverly Precinct, is the son of John and Jane Catherine (Spalding) Payne. His father was born on the present home farm of our subject in 1814; he married there in 1838, and died in Waverly in August 1881; he was interested in the Civil War, and went South several times, presumably on business for the Confederacy. He was taken to Louisville once on account of his sympathy with the Confederacy, and also to Uniontown. Our subject was born where he now lives, on January 17, 1845. He received some ten years training in the schools of Waverly, and then attended Cecilian College for two years. . Our subject has traveled extensively in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Ohio, Indiana, and Louisiana, but is still living on the old home farm where he cares for one hundred and eighty acres, and raises some of the finest horses in this part of Kentucky. His colt, 'Harry Cruz' made 1 1/16 mile in the fastest time. 'Eddie Payne' sold for $300 when he was but 2 years old. Mr. Payne's residence is a substantial frame, romantically situated upon a hill that overlooks the long town of Waverly and the Ohio Valley Railroad. It was erected in 1878. In politics Mr. Payne is a Democrat. In religion he is a Catholic. He is a man of broad views and knowledge, yet faithful to his training and home. A high compliment to his native sod is, that a man of Mr. Payne's intelligence should have traveled so much, and still have come back to live his years out."

MARRIAGE: See UNION COUNTY, KENTUCKY MARRIAGE BOOKS 1811-1883, FHL 976.988 5V28h at 1837: PAYNE, JOHN - JANE C. SPAULDING, February 10, 1837 SPECULATION: In an article on the life of Teresa Payne's son Dr. John T. SpaldingJenkins (64) in HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY, KY, op.cit. at pp 238-240, itstates "On the tenth day of May, 1864, he married Miss Alethea Ann Payne,daughter of John Payne of Union County (Kentucky)." Again on page 642 itstates "The physician next in succession to R. H. C. Rhea, Sr. was Dr. J.T. Jenkins, from Louisville, his wife being Allie Payne, daughter of JohnPayne and Jane Spalding." From these we conclude that Alethea Ann Payneis the daughter of this John Payne and Jane Catherine Spalding. In TOM JENKINS OF MD on pg 76, in an article on the children of JohnR. Jenkins and Teresa (Payne) Jenkins, specifically their son George, itstates that he "married Henrietta Payne, born 1846; died 1906; sister ofAlethea Payne who married his brother (John T.)." Thus it appears likelythat Alethea and Henrietta were daughters of John and Jane Catherine(Spalding) Payne (1070) and sisters of John Spalding Payne (1072). If the assumptions about John (Jacky) Payne being a son of Basil Payne are correct, we have: Basil Payne __________________|____________________ Richard Payne John (Jackie) Payne m m Catherine Spalding Catherine Smith --------------------------------- || Teresa Payne (m John Jenkins) John Payne (m Jane Cath .Spalding) | | | John Spalding Payne (m Matilda Cruz) (Robert Stone m) Martha Jenkins(my GGM) | | | John Thomas Jenkins mAlethea Payne George Jenkins mHenrietta Payne More About John Payne: Census: 1850, Union Co Ky Occupation: Farmer Personal Property: 1860, VALUE 7000 Property: 1850, VALUED 5000 Real Property: 1860, VALUE 15000 Residence: 1870, Living next to E.F.

JOHN THOMAS S. JENKINS, M.D. was born near Springfield, WashingtonCounty, KY, on what was known as the old Jackson farm, on the fifth dayof March, 1842. The Jackson who owned this farm was a brother of the Jackson who killed Col. Ellsworth at Baltimore Junction, MD., at the beginning of the war. Our subjects early education was gained from the private schools of Springfield, and completed at the Covington Institute,an institution at that time of high educational rank. Having finished his education, he went to Louisville and entered the drug house of ThomasE. Jenkins & Co., his father being a partner. Thomas E. Jenkins was the leading partner, and was a chemist and druggist of pronounced and ack- nowledged ability. Our subject commenced in the laboratory andpharmaceutical department, and was afterward placed in charge of theprescription department. He remained with this firm for thirteen years,and, during a portion of that time, studied medicine, with the view ofpracticing it as his chosen profession. Having severed his connectionwith the Louisville firm, of which his father and uncle were partners, hethen went, in 1865, to Atlanta, GA., and engaged in the drug business inthat city until 1868, at which time he came to Union County. "The subject of this sketch is a man of fine native mind, and this,coupled with a close application to his studies, brought him to the front as a young student in every way qualified to master whatever he was disposed to undertake. He fully determined, in his own mind, upon the course of his life. He, in 1869, went to Louisville, and there attended a thorough course of lectures in the Louisville Medical College. In the following year 1870, he graduated with honor to himself and credit to thecollege. He then returned to Union County and began the practice of medicine, and has continued to do so to this day. Dr. Jenkins is a physician of highstanding in the profession, and is held in high regard by his colleagues.He is a man of strong mind, well read in the technicalities of his profession, and fully and amply equipped for any disease he undertakes toheal.

Notes for John Bernard Cruz: "The gentleman whose name heads this article has no superior as a farmer and stock grower in the county. ...He attended the common schools of his county for the term of five or six years, and what he learned during that time constituted his education. He has read considerably since that time, and this, aided by a splendid natural mind, has made him what he is -- one of the foremost men of Union County. Mr Cruz took no part in the war, but remained at home, attending to his own business and letting others do as they pleased; nevertheless, he has always proved a good neighbor and friend. Outside of being prettily heavily foraged upon by the soldiers of both armies during the Rebellion, he was never molested; he was never arrested, as many of his neighbors were, yet he wsa frankly a Southerner in his feelings."

Charity Ann Griggs December 27, 1851 in Shawneetown, Illinois. 29. Charity Ann Griggs, born July 30, 1835 in Union County Kentucky; died June 01, 1903 in Smith Mills, Henderson, Kentucky. She was the daughter of 58. Minor Griggs and 59. Nancy Culver. Notes for William Ennis Kellen: William Ennis Kellen was adopted in 1836 by Clement Mudd Buckman, as his parents (John and Polly) were listed in court records as deceased. See Union County, KY Court Order Book C, Page 368. William appeared in the 1850 Census, single and living with the Clement Mudd Buckman family. He was listed as William Buckman!!!!! One theory is he came to Kentucky with the Buckmans, possibly as a hired hand or as adopted child. William Ennis Kellen entered into some land deals with the Buckmans. One deal showed a partnership betweeen one of the Buckmans and Ennis for the county poor house. William bought out his partner's share for $50. The Buckman's lived 2 addresses from the Griggs family in the 1850 Census. Eric Kellen feels Ennis was the first Kellen to arrive in the area. There is a city in Northern Ireland named Enniskillen. William Ennis has a April, 1840 baptism record at the Sacred Heart Church in Union County. He was around 13 years old, there was no sponsor (which means he was alone without parents). This was found by Linda Hick Hallmark Listed in 1860 census as Ennis Keelen.

Our subject was born at Polar Neck, Nelson County, August 9, 1792. His education was limited, because he never liked to go to school. Our subject moved direct from Spencer County to Union in 1853, having bought three hundred and eighty acres of Col. George Simpson. A log house has been erected upon the place and two hundred acres have been cleared. He was born into the Catholic Church, and nearly all his children and grandchildren have embraced his faith.

Joshua Abell and 91. Susannah Ann Mills. Notes for Peter Cruz: "He was a very remarkable man, and the history of his life, is one intensely interesting. It was full of romance, and many racy trials and vexations of spirit. Born in Italy, in the time of the Napoleonic wars, and growing up at a time when he could but slightly understand, by some means not now known he ran away or was carried away from his parents when he was only six years of age. (Separate section has him being sent to live with Trappist Monks in France at the age of seven at his parents direction.) It is know from his own life, that at that age he was 1,300 miles away from his home and among strangers. He roamed over Russia, Austria, Poland and other countries on the Continent, until he arrived at the age of sixteen years. The trials he was compelled to undergo were more than most men now a days could withstand, much less a boy of his tender age. " Mr. Peter Cruz could repeat it from his childhood memory and experience the horrors of Robespierre; or the meeting of the National Convention, 1792 and how the Assembly was swayed by monsters in the shape of men - Marat, Danton, Robespierre.. It was then the Superior of the above named order received notice that som many days had been given him to gather together what he would and could and to leave the country. ...so when the Pappists started in their exile, Peter J. Cruz and brother, went and journeyed wherever the religious could find a temporary resting place - the younger brother died in Switzerland - until at last the the monks set sail for the U.S. Peter stated they were eighteen weeks crossing the Atlantic, being a sail vessel, which was frequently, by foul winds, thrown backwards or off their route. Once in their trip across the wide waste of waters, they encountered a pirate vessel. When the pirates boarded the vessel, the religious Superior gathered together his comrades in religion and his little charges, to give them what protection he could, and procuring a sack of gold, addressed Peter Cruz: 'Peter, what shall be done with this -all the money we have? it will be taken - the pirates are on us; I will give it to you; try and hide it' He at once collected his wits and began to think of what he should do with what he knew was their all. There was a stone jar sitting near that he happened to know had soft soap in it, which had been brought for cleaniness, and he immediately removed the cover and, to use the old gentlemen's words, 'crammed the sack of gold to the very bottom;' the jar got its share of inspection from the 'sea robbers' but not emptying out the contents, the treasure was saved. The monks, on landing, chose Kentucky as their permanent location, the site they selected being in Nelson County, now know as Gethsemane, arriving there when the subject of our sketch was sixteen years old. He remained with his protectors, and worked and did all he could, until he was twenty one years of age, of his own accord, he said, to show them gratitude for the care they had taken of him, and the classical education they had given him. At that time he went to live with Dicky Spalding, of Marion County, and with him traded up and down the river to New Orleans and back, in flat boats, during which time he made thirteen trips through and among the Indian tribes of the South and Southwest. Peter Cruz died in 1874, at the age of ninety-one years, lacking five days, loved, admired and respected by every one. It is no uncommon thing to hear, at the present time, the remark by people that knew him, 'he was the best man I ever knew.'

Fortunately Father Urbain had also taken in several tons of provisions. I t went far off course to avoid English pirates, and after 126 days, during which there was su ffering from storms and the food shortage had become a point of starvation, the monks been ki nd enough to allow all passengers to use their own provisions, there was no food left when t ey put in to Baltimore on 25 September 4 1803.

He w as the father of Ignatius Aloysius Spalding, Jr., and the grandfather of Jack J. Spalding; of Lucy Spalding Young; of Mrs. Anne Spalding (wife of Dr. Robert D. Spalding); of Mrs. Katherine S. Porter (wife of Walt er B. Porter.)" See HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY published in 1886, FHL 976.9885H2h. There are biographies of two of the children of Ignatius A. Spalding, i.e. Robert Abell Spalding (pp 475-477) and Samuel P. Spalding (pp 47 8- 482). These articles contain several references to their ancestors and most of that information is included as follows: Pg 476: "The following sketch will begin by saying he was a son of Ignatius A. Spalding and Jane Pottinger, both of whom came to Union County from Nelson County, at an earlier date (1820-21). Both father and mother were natives of Maryland. His father, I. A. Spalding, was born May 5, 1790, and in the fall of the same year, was brought by his father from Maryland to Kentucky, and located in Washington County. For a number of years the grandfather of our subject served as Deputy Sheriff of his county, and upon several occasions flat-boated it to New Orleans and after disposing of his produce and merchandise, would and did return overland through the Indian Nation, on foot." "Richard Spalding, a brother of the grandfather of our subject was a Revolutionary soldier, and was wounded at and died after the battle of Yorktown. Another brother, George, came to Union County, after having fought in the Revolutionary War." Pg 480: "In his (Samuel P. Spalding's) infancy he was baptized a Catholic, and has remained a steadfast member of that church to this day. His maternal family were Protestants; his paternal family were all Catholics as far back as the family can be traced. His ancestors came from Maryland to Kentucky at an early date in the history of the state. His father, Ignatius A. Spalding, came to Union County in 182 1, and was throughout his life a man of great local and State prominence. He represented his county in the State Legislature, and was a member of the Convention that framed the present Consitution of the State. So great was the personal popularity of Mr. Spalding--it is a noted fact--that he had no opposition, but was fully and handsomely endorsed by his people with perfect confidence in both his integrity, fidelity and ability" "(Ignatius Aloysius Spalding) The father of our subject (Samuel P. Spalding), at the age of twenty-one, married Jane Pottenger, of Nel- son County, Ky., and she died in 1827, leaving four children, the subject of this sketch being one of them. The father was, for a a number of years, a dry goods merchant, and by close management and untiring watchfulness, accumulated a large fortune. During the year 1851 he died possessed of a large landed estate in this county. In 1824, near Calhoon's Ferry, he married Mrs. Allen, a daughter of William Huston, and an aunt of Judge George Huston, a prominent citizen of this county. Mrs. Spalding, nee Huston, up to the day of her death was a earnest devout Baptist; but, upon her death-bed, renounced Protestantism, became a Catholic, and was buried in the Catholic cemetary owned by St. Vincent's Chapel. She died in 1880 at the rather remarkable age of 82 years. She was one of the most lovable of women, and as an evidence of it her step-children (of which number the subject of this sketch was one) were a devotedly attached to her as though she had been their own mother in fact. "Ignatius A. Spalding, father of Samuel P. Spalding, was a large tall and finely proportioned man, measuring six foot three inches in height. He was a man of magnetic power, and though uneducated, was fully competent to cope with his opponents in public debate in all races made by him for office. He was a staunch Democrat, and never flinched from expressing his opinion upon all matters concerning his party, its management and its policies." xii.

Codicil dated February 22, 1883: Whereas, I Raphael Cambron of the town of Uniontown, Union County, Kentucky. Since making my will February 22, 1873, I have divided my home, land, farm between my three children Christopher Logan Cambron, Elizabeth Polina Smith, and Caroline F. Clements, receiving from them each five hundred fifty dollars, an aggregate sum of $1,650.00 for the benefit of the heirs of my deceases son James Madison Cambron. I have loaned the said $1,650.00 to Charles Smith and Frank Rapier at 6 per cent per annum to be paid to each heir of James Madison Cambron respectively as they arrive at age. Said $1,650.00 makes all my children equal in what I have given them at this date.

Clements to make them equal" is null and void. From "The Centenary of Catholicity in Kentucky"- Henry Cambron's descedents are numerous in Kentucky. They are all of the highest worldly respectability, and better still, they are all faithful to the ancient faith of their fathers. One of his sons, Charles C. Cambron, died in the neighborhood in which his father settled as late as 1880. Another son, Ralph Cambron, was still living in 1878, a much esteemed member of the Sacred Heart congregation in Union county." From "History of Union County Ky"- page 632- "The place known as the "Barba farm," and now owned by Mrs. Lon Gip Brown, was settled about 1820 by the Widow Sellers from Henderson County. Next is the place owned by Ralph Cambron, son of Madison Cambron and Ann Wathen, his wife being Ellen Drury daughter of Thomas Drury and Martha Willett. It was settled by David Blue, his sone, Henderson Blue, inheriting the lands."

Margaret McAlister, born 1770 in Patrickdown, Down County, Ireland; died October 23, 1848 in Washington Co. Ky. Notes for John Kelly: John and Margaret Kelly were the first members of our family to come to America from Ireland. We think they ma have married in 1795 at saintfield parish in the town Patrick Down . John mother was a polin. There wee 10 children born to the union but only 5 reached adulthood. Family tradition holds that John and Margaret left for America in the spring of 1798. John and Margaret were people of means when they arrived. As both were young it is unlikely that either had substantial undependent property. John's father probably gave him his inheritnce upon departure. Our ancestor Daniel is said to have been born on their voyage. The family debarked at Baltimore. Nothing is known of their route to Kentucky or their traveling companions. In 1806 they purchased their first homestead in Washington Co. when John acquires a 103 acre tract near what is now Lincoln Park. The grantor was listed as Mordecai Lincoln but the actual owner was josiah Lincoln. There was a large log house was located on the farm at that time, built with the help of Thomas Lincoln a carpenter. The purchase price was 120 pounds sterling or about $600. John would continue to expand his farm holdings for the next 38 years. In March 1841, he petitioned the County court to procession his land. That is to have the land surveyed and the boundaries fixed by a jury, a useful process in the era before fences when boundaried rested on notched trees or memories of neighbors. The result was something rare fpr that era, a plat revealing precise boundaries and corners and showing a total of 570 continous acres to his home tract. John is listed as one of the first parishoners ar the founding of St. Rose in 1808, he is buried just outside the church door. his epitaph reads "John Kelly, native of County Down, Ireland departed this life July 10, 1844, in his 71st year of his age, born 1773. He was a faithful husband and father, regarded by all as an honest and upright Christian. Kelly Kelly comes from the Irish Ó Ceallaigh, based on the popular personal name Ceallach, which may mean either "bright-haired" or "troublesome". The popularity of the name meant that it was incorporated into permanent surnames in between seven and ten different places, including Co. Meath, north Wicklow, the Antrim/Derry area, Co. Sligo, Galway/Roscommon, north Down and Co. Laois. The most prominent of these families are the O'Kellys of Uí Maine, or Hy Many, an ancient territory taking in east Galway and south Roscommon, also known simply as "O'Kelly's Country". Their pedigree takes them back to Maine Mor, first chief of the area bearing his name, who lived in the fifth century. His descendant, Ceallach, (died c.874) was the twelfth Chief, and it is from him that the surname derives. His great-great-grandson Tadhg Mór, who died at the battle of Clontarf in 1014, was the first to use the name in true hereditary fashion. Despite the loss of most of their possessions in the catastrophic wars of the seventeenth century, a loss shared with most of the rest of the Gaelic aristocracy, the succession to the position of head of the sept has continued unbroken down to the present incumbent, Walter Lionel O'Kelly of Gallagh and Tycooly, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, known as "The O'Kelly", and recognised as such by the Chief Herald of Ireland Today, Kelly and O'Kelly are almost as numerous in Ireland as Murphy, and are to be found throughout Ireland. Individuals of the name have been prominent in all spheres of Irish life. The best- known modern Irish sculptor was Oisin Kelly (1915-1981); Charles E. Kelly (1902-1981) was one of the founders of Dublin Opinion, the most famous satirical magazine to appear in Ireland; James O'Kelly (1845- 1916) had a remarkable career as a war correspondent and Member of Parliament .

He was a surveyor, a Justice of Peace for Washington co. and County Sheriff from which office he resigned in 1843. Alexander was a hard worker, a saver and a wise investor. He lived 40 years without a wife, often saying that was the biggest mistake of is life. he died in 1878, at the age of 90. Besided his real estate, Alexander possessed much personal property including 40 slaves. After freedom was grantd many of the slaves refused to leave and stayed with him at the old home place. One of his descendants with his two cousins and three other young ladies of St. Rose Parish, formed the initial members of the dominican Order os St. Catherine of Siena. Mother Angela Sansbury became the first prioress of the Congregation.

I cannot find them in the 1850 Union Co, KY census or later although there is a Clement adn Mary Griggs listed in the 1850 Henderson Co, KY cenusus at age 70 and 40 respectively. The ages almost fit but both say they were b. in VA. Clement age 80 is listed in the 1860 Union Co, KY census with a Henrietta age 40. He married his fourth wife, Henrietta Floyd on 5/18/1857 in Union Co, KY so I have figured that Mary Mattingly Alvey Griggs had died by them but I find no cemetery listing that fits.

Notes for Simon Hancock: Simon is said to have owned the family Bible which gave us much of the early Hancock info. It was later said to be in the possession of Randolph-Macon College, but cannot now be located. It is referred to in The Johnstons of Salisbury, by William Preston Johnston. Chesterfield Co., Va DB 2 Page 210 is a Deed from Samuel Hancock of Chesterfield Co., "for love and affection to my son Simon Hancock, 100 acres in fork of Swift Creek and Polands branch, next to Robert Hudson," dated 6 Dec 1754; Wit: Francis Flournoy, Eliz (+) Weathers; Recorded Dec. Court 1754. Note: Margaret Hancock, the wife of Simon's uncle Robert Hancock, Jr., bought 80 acres bounded by Swift Creek and Thomas Cheatham, by Deed dated 24 Feb 1742, Recorded on 1 Mar 1742, Henrico County Virginia Deeds (1677-1705). From The Virginia Genealogist, "British Mercantile Claims (1775-1803)," Reports of Christopher Clark 24 Jun 1801: [Pg 33] "Simeon Hancock L1.3.9, Judgment, Warwick Store. He is dead; left sufficient to pay his debts. His executor, Samuel Hancock, lives in Bedford County. If the judgment had been pursued, the money long ago might have been made." [TVG: Vol. 21, P. 262]. [Pg 61] "Simeon Hancock & Saml. Smith L51.3.0, bond, Warwick Store. Simeon Hancock died in Bedford County; left a sufficient estate. Samuel Hancock, his executor, lives in the same county. The estate has been divided amongst the family, but perhaps with the customary caution of taking bonds and security in case of debts. Samuel Smith is unknown." [TVG: Vol. 22, P. 105]. Children of Simon Hancock and Jane Flournoy are: 64 i.

John Hancock, born 1753 in Chesterfield Co. Va; died 1787; married Milly Bramblett; born Abt. 1770. iii. Edward Hancock, born 1754 in Chesterfield Co Va; died 1836 in Bedford Co. Va; married Jane Nichols; born Abt. 1754. iv. Simon Hancock, born 1755; died 1776. v. Hannah Hancock, born 1758; died 1811; married Abel Jackson; born 1738; died 1892. vi. Samuel (Col.) Hancock, born 1760 in Chesterfield Co. Va; died 1837 in Bedford Co. Va; married Ann Ammon 1784 in Bedford Co. Va; born Abt. 1760; died 1840. Notes for Samuel (Col.) Hancock: Per Revolutionary War Pension, Bedford Co., Virginia, in November of 1776 Samuel enlisted in place of his brother, Edward Hancock, who had enlisted for a term of two (2) years under Captain Gross Scruggs, but became sick. Samuel also later became very sick. (Virginia 5th Regiment) From page 244 of Virginia Militia in the Revolutionary War, by J.T. McAllister: under 'Pensioners residing in Virginia in 1835 who received Pensions as Virginia Militiaman,' it says "Sergt. Sam'l Hancock, Bedford Co., age 74." There is a Letter of Attorney action by Simon Hancock in Woodford Co, KY to his friend Samuel of Bedford Co, VA Jan- 1792. (said 'friend Samuel' was likely Simon's first cousin, being the son of Simon, who was son of Samuel and Johan Hancock. The Will of the last mentioned Simon was probated on 24 Jan 1791, WB 2 Pages 49-50 (Bedford Co., Va.), which is also where William, Sr., the father of this subject, died ca 1791. It therefore seems possible that Simon and William, Jr resided for a short time with their father in Bedford Co., possibly with Wm Sr's brother, Simon, who also lived there. Samuel who was given the above Letter of Attorney would have been son of Simon, Wm's brother. Simon, son of Wm Sr., moved to Woodford Co, Va around the time of his father's death in 1791. Col. Samuel Hancock presumably knew Glover Baker who served in the 4th Virginia Regiment at Valley Forge, Pa., as Samuel was Admr. of his estate. Glover's estate: Will Book 7 Page 45: "Col. Samuel Hancock, Admr. of Glover Baker, dec. Various items ...Recorded March 24, 1828." [Col. Samuel Hancock was JRH's 1st cousin, 5 times removed. Glover Baker was JRH's 4th great- grandfather]. See info in The Ligon Family and Connections (1947) by William D. Ligon, Jr. The following info is from Pattie Causey (pacausey@mindspring.com): "HANCOCK, SAMUEL December 24, 1832 - 72 years of age. In November of 1776 I volunteered to take my brother's place Edward Hancock who had enlisted for the term of two years under Captain Gross Scruggs. At the time I entered my brother was at home sick. About nine and one half months of the time had expired. Me and about twelve others belonged to Captain Scruggs company. We were ordered to march to join the Northern army. We met at New London the seat of justice at that time for Bedford County. We crossed the James River at Lynch's Ferry thru Charlottesville to Fredericksburg where we remained waiting for others. Then we marched to Dumfries. We were marched to Alexandra where we remained until our recovery from smallpox. Before we marched again I was seized with pleuresy and before I had recovered from that attack I was taken with bloody flux and dysentery so violent that all my comrades lost hope of my recovery and they marched to the North under the impression I would die and the report that I was actually dead reached my father in the county of Bedford. After my company marched north I was taken to a hospital for several months unable to rise from my bed. I was finally through the agency of my attending physician Doctor Tilton, carried in a blanket to the home of a widow who lived in Alexandria and at whose home I remained still unable to walk until the time for which my brother Edward's enlistment had expired. Sometime afterwards a Major Anderson who commanded a Regiment from South Carolina discovered my situation and at his solicitation procured a wagon and I was taken to the house of an uncle who resided in Loudon County. I stayed here for three months at which time I had recovered enough to enable me to ride and I was taken by my father to my home in Bedford County. When I arrived home I found my company had all returned home, the time having expired some time before. At this time I had served fourteen and one half months. My brother had enlisted for two years and I had served in his stead not more than nine and one half months. In the fall of 1779 I was again drafted and served three months, marching under Captain Jacob Early. I marched through Prince Edward, Buckington, Cumberland, Powhatan and Chesterfield Counties to Petersburg where we joined the army. The Baron Stenhem visited the army frequently when on parade. I remained in Petersburg as the officers were waiting the movements of the British vessels then lying in the mouth of the James River. I remained at Petersburg until my term expired and I was discharged. I entered the service again in December 1780 as a substitute for Miah Squires and served as an orderly for three months. I marched through several counties to Petersburg and from thence to Cabin Point in the county of Surry. There we remained some time, then marched to Mackey's Mill in Southampton at which place I joined the army. From there I marched to the Tan Yard near Portsmouth. From there to a British fort at Nansemond River in Norfolk County. While there we had several skirmishes with the British. Then we marched across Dismal Swamp to Williamson's Mill, My term having expired I was discharged. I returned home where I remained two or three weeks, then I was again drafted. I marched to Salisbury, North Carolina. We arrived there ten days after being drafted. When I arrived I was appointed to Sergeant Major of Regement. From there we marched to ninety six. There we joined General Green who had laid seize to the town and fort. We were engaged here nineteen days when Lord Rodney came up from Charleston to the relief of the fort when General Green retreated and was pursued by the British to near Broad River, a distance of about one hundred and twenty miles. The army after crossing the river rested two or three days. When the army left Broad River I was left to give information to some of Lee's troops who were on a foraging party, of the route which the troops had taken. The British at Broad River having retreated back toward Ninety Six. Lee's troop was sent in pursuit and when the foraging party returned I joined them i with Lee's troop pursuid the British until within seven miles of Ninety Six. We then turned down the River Saluda about twenty five miles where we fell in with a foraging party of the British and took forty five prisoners. We then marched to the high hill of Santee where we again joined General Green. Here I with a number of militia were left to guard the baggage waggons belonging to the army and about one hundred prisoners. Green with the rest of the army marched to Enlaw Springs where he had an engagement. The Virginia Militia was shortly afterwards marched to guard the prisoners who were sent to Virginia and I was one of them. I was marched to Guilford Court House in North Carolina. There my term of service had expired I was honorably discharged. My discharged was signed by Alex Rose and dated July 31, 1781 and I herewith exhibited it. I served four months during this tour and acted as Sergeant Major. In February, 1782, I took a deserter from the army named George Bandy. He was a considerable trouble and expence to me. On February 26, 1782 I delivered him to Captain A. Kirkpatrick whose receipt I still have. I was born in Chesterfield County on February 28, 1760. I took my age from my father's register. I was living in Bedford county when I was called in service. I am extremely known in my neighborhood and I am known to every member of the Court of which I am a member - Samuel Hancock" [end] vii.

Notes for James Hill: James Hill III [1656.2.2] was working his plantation with slaves, Bob, Moll, and Peter in Chesterfield County in 1756. In June 1764 he bought 240 acres on the south side of Swift Creek in Chesterfield County from Henry Clay [1848.5.2]. James died before 4 July 1772 when Chesterfield County granted John Hill administration of the estate of James Hill. James's wife was Winifred Lockett [3316.4.1.1]. On 4 March 1774, Chesterfield appointed his widow, Winifred, the guardian of children William, Benjamin, Robert, and Winifred Hill. A Chancery Court case in Chesterfield County of May 1774 again identified these children. Winifred married second a Tatum and died before 1807. Children of James Hill and Winifred Lockett are: i.

Notes for Ignatius Mattingly: Rev J F Mattingly's book Traditions & Genealogy of the Mattingly Family was supplemented Jan. 1947 by Mary Arlene Smith & her data is included. What I post today is from it. Probated 1777 the Will of Ignatius Mattingly was recorded in Leonardstown, St Mary's Co, MD. Liber. JJ #1, Page 470.

I should say "toss it all" about the above. Ignatius Will was in 1789, he was the son of Thomas II son of Thomas I. The 1789 Will gave the land to Ignatius; $1.00 or 1 shilling to Leonard, Luke, & William an another or two; balance of estate to Ignatius and Susanna.

Notes for James Carrico: The census of 1790 of Charles County, MD, shows James "of Peter" as the head of a family consisting of one male over 16; three males under 16; five females; and three slaves. While it is not possible to make a positive statement, it is very probabl that several of the issue of James Carrico emigrated to Kentucky in the then general migration, since some of the names appear in early Kentucky records.

CARRICO: Inherited by his fathers will a tract of land in Charles Co., MD (1764) known as CARRICO HOPE. Possession to be had at his mother's death. In the administration accounts the name was spelled CARRICOE. His wife survived but was not mentioned. La Records Index for Charles Co., MD. 1658-1832 shows that in 1794 John Adams transferred property to James Carrico - Lib. A, from that of Thomas Ignatius, which was known to be in 1741 and from the assumption that Peter Carrico, Sr., followed the usual colonial custom of naming issue in order of birth. (See Will of Peter Carrico, Sr.) The settlement of the estate of James Carrico, who died intestate in 1803, is recorded in proceedings of Charles Co., MD, County Court session of June 1803. This record discloses names of children, who were named in the following order: Deborah; Walter; Dennis; Margaret; Pricy; James; John Martin; Alexander; Vincent; and Tabitha. They were obviously not named in order of birth as Vincent died before his father. The records of Charles County also show that James "of Peter" and James "of James" Carrico bot subscribed to Oath of Loyalty and Support in 1778. And in the records of Guardian's Accounts in Charles County, for the year 1808, it is shown that John Martin and Alexander were wards of Henry Montgomery, and identified as "orphans" of James "of Peter" Carrico. The census of 1790 of Charles County, MD, shows James "of Peter" as the head of a family consisting of one male over 16; three males under 16; five females; and three slaves. While it is not possible to make a positive statement, it is very probabl that several of the issue of James Carrico emigrated to Kentucky in the then general migration, since some of the names appear in early Kentucky records. For instance, in the marriage records (Bonds) in Nelson County, it is found that Alexander Children of James Carrico and Elizabeth Clements are: i. James Carrico, born Abt. 1764; married Joanna Keith; born Abt. 1761. ii. Vincent Carrico, born 1764 in Charles Co. Maryland; died 1816 in St. Louis Co. Mo; married Susan Quick. iii. Elizabeth (Tabitha) Carrico, born 1766 in Charles Co. Maryland; died 1836 in Mo; married Thomas Witherington; born Abt. 1765. iv. Deborah Carrico, born 1768. v. John Martin Carrico, born 1770. vi. Cornelius Carrico, born 1772; married Theresa O'Bryan 1823; born 1779 in Washington Co. Ky. vii. Margaret Carrico, born Bef. 1776 in Charles Co. Maryland; died 1836 in St. Louis Co. Mo. viii. Walter Carrico, born Abt. 1777; died 1840 in Indian Creek Mo; married Helen O'Bryan; born 1780. Notes for Walter Carrico: Walter was a miller by trade and a sack of flour fell on him causing his death. Walter and family moved to St Louis County, Missouri in 1818; then to Monroe County, Missouri in 1836. Walter and Helena; along with their two sons, Ignatius and Benedict, appear on the 1840 census for Monroe County, Missouri. Walter came to Missouri along with two sons of his brother and one sister. The oldest brother, Vincent Carrico, came to St Louis County, Missouri prior to 1810. Dennis Carrico was next in 1810 and Walter followed them to St Louis County in 1818. His sister Theresa, and her husband, Josias Miles also came to St Louis County in 1810. Information From: ix. Dennis Carrico, born 1778. 71 x. Priscilla "Precy" Carrico, born 1779 in Charles County, Maryland; died 1867 in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky; married Francis O'Brien. xi. Alexander Carrico, born 1784. 144. Francis Theodore Hite, born 1760 in Heerlen, Limberg, Netherlands; died 1809. He was the son of 288. Henricus Heuts and 289. Maria Gertrudis Boest. He married 145. Jane Mary Vernaus. 145. Jane Mary Vernaus, born Abt. 1760 in Heerlen, Limberg, Netherlands; died 1824. She was the daughter of 290. Joannes Vernaus and 291. Barbara Dautzenberg. Children of Francis Hite and Jane Vernaus are: i. Johannes Henricus Heuts, born 1783 in Netherlands; died 1843 in St. Louis Mo; married Theresa Withington 1812 in Florrisant, Mo; born 1795 in Ky.; died 1861 in St. Louis Mo.. Notes for Johannes Henricus Heuts: Baptism: 21 JAN 1783 Voerendaal, Limburg, Netherlands [was Dutch States of Overmass Hertogenrade & Daalhem] Married: 21 JUN 1812 in St. Ferdinands Chruch, Florissant, St. Louis Co., MO [was Louisana Territory], USA On 23 April 1809 the Trappist group left Kentuck y for Florissant. They followed the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi rivers to a coal hill o n the North Bank at La Charbonnier and traveled overland to Florissant, Louisiana Territory ( now in St. Louis Co., Missouri) arriving before the end of May, where he started a monastery , there was already a convent 'The Ladies of the Scared Heart' established by the bishop of L ouisiana. Here stayed Father Bernard, two lay brothers, & the school boys. Dom Urban and a p arty of priests soon after moved across the river just opposite to St. Louis near Cahokia to establish a permanent residence in Illinois, calle d 'Prairie du Miroir/Looking Glass/Indian Mound/Monks Mound' was not successful. The person w ho he bought the land from did not tell him that it was the grave of all those who had trie d to live there, he lost half of his religious community. The children were placed in a school in St. Louis. I n a letter dated 12 November 1816, from Father Marie Joseph in Floressent to Father Urbain w e find stated 'Jean HEUTS is not so faithful to his duties as he should be, it appears that t he goods of this world as the main object of his attention.' In translating these letters fo r a family researcher Father Cypren in his letter 1925 from France says, Father Marie Joseph' s words prove clearly to me that John HEUTS was one of the young Hollanders who accompanie d the Trappists to the United States and to Florissant. Do not take Father Mary Joseph's words as a serious reproach against Jea n HEUTS, coming after the terrible complaint he made against those other people. He was a ver y stern and austere priest, very strict and perhaps too strict, on certain points of religio n and morals. He considered always Jean HEUTS as one of the children that had been raised among the religio us and forgot that he now was living among people who had very little, if not, any religio n at all, and consequently it was not surprising that he had released a little of his forme r fever and devotion. As for 'his care for the goods of this world' it was quite natural fo r a young man to try and make a good living. Moreover it was certainly a good mark to his cre dit to have been faithful to the good religious who brought him over from Holland to this cou ntry. It also tells me Jean HEUTS never was a Trappist otherwise he would have called him ou r brother as he did for another brother who had left the community. BIOGRAPHY: For their home they chose Florissant. Sixteen miles northwest of the St. Louis cou rthouse lies the beautiful and fertile section of country known as the Florissant Valley. I t is about ten miles long and four miles borad, bounded on the west by the high bluffs of th e Missouri River, on the east by a chain of wooded hills and varied by gentle slopes and a sm all winding river. The fertiliey of its soil is unsurpassed by any part of the great Mississi ppi Valley, the climate is dry and healthy, part of St. Ferdinand parish, whoes records go ba ck to 1790. 72 ii.

Notes for Benedict Joseph Spalding: SSee THOMAS JENKINS OF MARYLAND 1670 by Edward Felix Jenkins, O.S.A. at pages 18-19: "B. ca. 1723, d. ca. 1767, m. ca. 1745, Elizabeth Mattingly. He was a minor when his father wrote his will Dec 6, 1740, and of age when his father's property was distributed in 1744, so he must have been born about 1723 (citing Accounts, Liber 20, Folio 160, St. Mary's County Hall of Records). Elizabeth Mattingly was the daug h- ter of Thomas and Ruth (Cole) Mattingly. He died intestate in Calvert County, MD. His administration bond is dated August 9, 1767. Since he he made no will it is hard to say how many children he had. The final account of his estate has not been found, but the preliminiary accoun ts accounts show that he was survived by his widow, Elizabeth, and one s on, Benedict Joseph, who settled the estate." Aloysius Spalding, of Benedict Joseph Spalding, in the HISTORY OF UNI ON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, it is stated that his grandfather, Benedict Joseph Spalding, had these two brothers: 1. Richard; a Revolutionary soldier who was wounded and died after the battle of Yorktown. 2 George, who came to Union County, Kentucky, after having fought in the Revolutionary War. (Citing HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY, KENTUCKY, pg 467 (1888). "Clements says (without explaining why) that a son Henry of Benedi ct settled in Frederick County about 1790, where he married a Miss Elder. "Clements also says that Richard Spalding of Benedict died intesta te in Prince Georges County in 1808, leaving issue, which contradicts the above-quoted biography of Benedict Joseph's grandson. He says that t he and George Spalding living in St. Marys County in 1790 were probabl y sons of Benedict. Clements made a lot of interesting statements but gav e no references for many of them. "The first account of the estate of Benedict Spalding of William w as proved February 20, 1768, by Benedict Spalding and Elizabeth Spalding, administrators. In it they mention John Baptist Spalding, Sr., and Henry Spalding as kinsmen. The second account was proved March 23, 1769, by Benedict Spalding and Elizabeth Spalding, John Ford, and Elizabeth, his wife. In 1791, Mrs. Elizabeth (Mattingly) (Spalding) Ford, with her husband, John Ford, and her son, Benedict Joseph Spald ing, emigrated to Kentucky. There are many descendants of this family. Benedict Joseph Spalding had twelve children and probably between fifty and one hundred grandchildren." Here ends Jenkins account. Benedict Spalding left Calvert County with his mother after the death of his father, and established a home in St. Mary's County, Maryland. Among the tracts of land which he owned was 175 1/8 acres of land called St. Giles, which he deeded to Elias Smith on 29 March 1791. He then moved to Kentucky and was listed on the tax list in Washington County in 1792. He represented Washington County in the Kentucky Legislature and was both justice of peace and sheriff of Washington County. Lead group of settlers who came to KY from MD in 1791. Rev. war veteran (private) from MD. Notes for Elizabeth Mattingly: See notes of her spouse Benedict regarding her parentage. See THE MATTINGLY FAMILY OF EARLY AMERICA by Herman E. Mattingly (1975); p. 37: "Elizabeth Mattingly is the last of the children of Thomas Mattiing- ly III and Ruth Cole. She was born c. 1725, and married first (c. 17 46), Benedict Spalding (citing Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families, 1 634- 1935, v. 1, p. 156.), who was born in St. Mary's County, and died i nCalvert County in 1769. To them were born Ann, Benedict, Richard and George. "Elizabeth must have married again after the death of her first husband, since her brother Edward, mentions in his will his niece "Ann Spaldin g, daughter of my sister Elizabeth Ford." Elizabeth is though to have married John Ford. The Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families, 1634-1935 , v.1, p. 156, gives the death of Benedict Spalding as occurring in 1769, an dthat of his wife the same year. This cannot be true if her brother, Edwar d,could write in his will of 1777 about her as his sister, Elizabeth Ford, th emother of Ann Spalding."

Donald Drury 3970C Moundview Road Hilliard Ohio Donnelly cites a Will on p. 45 for Samuel's death, and Brumbaugh 2:64 on p. 206 as a source for his birth. I wonder about the marriage date of 1735 unless there were more children not listed who were born earlier. However, Ben Webb in "Centenary of Catholicity" (pages 102-104) states that Philip was the eldest son and his birth date is given as 1741. It seems unusual that five years would elapse in a marriage before the first child was born.The listing of his other children comes from "Colonial Settlers St. Clements Bay" p 45 and 46 by Mary Louise Donnelly. The reference to Robert Abell (1757) and his children come from Laurie Schmidt. 3. Samuel Abell, Junr. Signed: July 21, 1774 Proved: July 15 1777 JJ-I Pg. 5-8 Samuel Abell Junr..

Like his father he lived outwardly a Protestant. He was a well-educated, strong-minded man, held all sorts of offices from deputy commissioner to settle accounts, to that of a Burgess and high sheriff, filling both places often as well as the inspectorship of tobacco. He was a member of All Faiths' Church. He married probably before 1720, Eleanor O'Bryan, usually referred to as O'Brien. She was a daughter of Philip, a son of Mathias, or it may be a grandson, and her oldest son, Philip Abell, was named for his grandfather, while her oldest daughter was called Winifred for the mother of her husband. Samuel Abell III executed his will on the 1st day of July 1774, witnessed by John Abell, of Samuel, Thomas and Arthur Abell, of his son John. He died the last day of June 1777, as the Revolution was getting well under way. Owing to confusing Samuel III, always styled Jr., with his son Samuel IV a major in the Revolution and always styled Sr., it has been claimed the former was in someway connected with the Revolution. He was a feeble octogenarian when the trouble arose, preparing to die, most likely was not in sympathy with the movement and certainly took no part in it. To his wife he willed his best bed clothes, one-third interest in his water and bolting mill, personalty, and a negro for her natural life; to grandson Elisha Morgan a negro girl and another to his grandson Bennett Wimsatt; to daughter Eleanor a third of his personalty and all the rest of his estate, real and personal, including remainder in mother's estate, to his sons Samuel and Robert made executors. Executors were empowered to sell four slaves to pay debts. The will was probated July 15, 1777, when his son Samuel for the first time was styled Jr., although the event made him Sr. On August 14, 1777, Eleanor, his daughter, appeared in court and renounced all the provisions of his will and claimed her dower rights. He was the strongest of all Abells, cold to last, ignoring most of his children in his will, carrying out the old feudal idea of favoring the sons and taking a final shot at his sons-in-law, whom he did not deign to name. More About Samuel Abell: Occupation: High Sheriff St. Mary's Co Notes for Eleanor O'Bryan: Althaire Abell was the da ugh- ter of Samuel and Elleanor (Bryant) Abell of St. Marys County. Mrs. Eleanor (Bryant) Abell was a devout Catholic, while her husband was a zealous Protestant, and High Sheriff of St. Marys County. It is said that he was content that she should rear the girls in her religion but wanted the boys reared in his, and was very much annoyed when, in- spired their mother's piety, they all became Catholics too. Tradition tells us that he was recieved into the Catholic Church before he died. Children of Samuel Abell and Eleanor O'Bryan are: i.

Notes for Captain Richard James Rapier: The following is take from "Rapier, Hayden and Allied Families Colonial Maryland and Kentucky" by Sister Mary Louise Donnelly, Copyright 1978, Published by Wifrid Vollmer Worland. Richard James Rapier was chosen as a captain and his brother William as a second lieutenant in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War. He fought under George Washington in the Battle of Long Island. Father Stephen Theodore Badin, the first priest ordained in the United States and an early Kentucky missionary writes in 1821, "Some twenty poor Catholic families descendants of the English colonists, came to settle in Kentucky in 1785, because they could secure good lands then for almost nothing." Richard James Rapier was a leader in the Kentucky movement. The journey for our Kentucky pioneers was not easy. First they traveled by land from Maryland to Pittsburg, At Pittsburg they continued by flatboat down the Ohio to what is now Maysville, Ky where the journey was again continued by land. Early writers speak of making about thirty miles a day under good conditions, and the trip down the Ohio taking 9 days. Besides the general problems of such a journey there was the continual threat of Indians.

Mary Ann Johnson, born 1753; died August 10, 1818 in Nelson County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of 390. John Johnson and 391. Susanna Semmes. Notes for Thomas Gwynn: The following is take from "Rapier, Hayden and Allied Families Colonial Maryland and Kentucky" by Sister Mary Louise Donnelly, Copyright 1978, Published by Wifrid Vollmer Worland. Mr. Gwynn is closely associated with the early Church in that part of Nelson County our of which was afterwards formed the cathedral parish. Certainly, no other laymen in the State did more to advance Catholic interests and to secure a firm footing for the faith in Kentucky. Though he was a farmer he did not lack culture. He had a comprehensive knowledge of the truths of his religion, and his life was squared to the equally sublime morality which is its just measurement in human action. In his old age, Mr. Gwynn had his home with his daughter, Mrs. Hagan, whose residence was more than five miles distant from Bardstown. Up to a short time preceding his death... he was in the habit, even on week days, of walking the entire distance, in order to be present at the first mass in the cathedral of St. Joseph. The late Rev. John B. Hutchins, only a few months before his own death, stated that he saw him on one such occasion, in the depth of winter, and long before it was light, waiting patiently for admission to the church. Prior to moving to Nelson County, Thomas Gwynn served in the Maryland Militia and was responsible for leading a band of Catholics from Maryland to Kentucky.

Notes for Henry Cambron: Took oath of allegiance to the State of Maryland 1775 which is of record in the Maryland Historical Society. In "The Centenary of Catholicity in Kentucky" by Ben. J. Webb (1884)- "Among the most noteworthy of the Catholic emigrants to Kentucky in 1788, was Henry Cambron, previously a highly respected Citizen of Montgomery county, Maryland. He was accompanied by his aged father, Baptist Cambron, and by a number of his brothers and sisters.* After stopping for a few days at Bardstown, Mr. Cambron proceeded to Cartwrights's Creek, where he bought and settled upon a farm adjoining that occupied by John Waller, who's mill, built upon his land, was the only property of the kind in that part of the country. This mill with the land of which it was and appendage, was afterwards sold by Mr. Waller to Rev. Edward Fenwick, and upon the latter stands today a church and convent of St. Rose. * Henry Cambron's descendants are numerous in Kentucky. They are all of the highest worldly respectability, and better still, they are all faithful to the ancient faith of their fathers. One of his son's, Charles C. Cambron, died in the neighborhood in which his father settled as late as 1880. Another son, Ralph Cambron was still living in 1878, a much esteemed member of the Sacred Hart Congregation in Union County. page 69. Catholic emigration to Kentucky was much accelerated in 1788. In 1791, the year before Kentucky was admitted into the confederation of States, there were settled within its borders no fewer than six distinct and large colonies of Catholics, five of which were in the single county of Nelson. When Washington county was created in 1792 Cartwright Creek became a part of it. The county seat was Springfield. HENRY WAS A CATHOLIC AND HELPED TO BUILD THE FIRST CATHOLIC CHURCH IN KENTUCKY, SAINT ROSE. HE ALSO HELPED THE BUILD SAINT ANNS CHURCH IN 1798. HE CAME TOKENTUCKY IN 1788. HE STAYED A FEW DAYS IN BARDSTOWN AND THEN MOVED TO CARTWRIGHT S CREEK WHERE HE SETTLED AND BOUGHT A FARM. Children of Henry Cambron and Margaret Harbin are: i.

Notes for William Ridge: William and Rebecca where married in Fredrick County, Maryland in 1781. If Katherine was born in 1792, than there is possibly one more daughter born prior to the 1790 census of Maryland. Four children are listed. The birth date of 1790 on Cornelius is probably wrong. Might be 1795 from the 1810 census. William Ridge appears in the tax lists for Washington Co., Ky for the years 1792-1799, and than on the 1800 and 1810 census reports. He was a blacksmith. William Ridge was in the War of the Revolution. William Ridge served in Gunby's Regiments from Fredrick County, State of Maryland June 6, 1778. Time of Service, 9 months. Date of discharge not given. William Ridge appears again as a discharged soldier of the two battalions of malitia raised to serve in the Continental Army in the year of 1781 from Dorchester County, State of Maryland.

War 1812 Private, Private Cornelius Ridge of Boone Township was in the Battle of New Orleans where he served as an aide- de-camp to General Jackson. During the battle he ran from the field to the city seven times. He lived many years near Alton till his death about 1840. Taken from the book "History of Crawford County, Indiana" by Pleasant. Pages 226,227. {War of 1812} Benjamin Ridge and Cornelius purchased some land in Martin County, Indiana Mar 25, 1818. But I could not find them in the 1820 census for Martin Co., Ind. On Feb 1, 1826 Cornelius Ridge sold 20 acres of Land in Martin Co., to a Jacob Myers. This Jacob Myers could be the same person who married Elizabeth Ridge. Cornelius Ridge also purchased some land in Davies County, Indiana in 1818. This land was right next to the land in purchased in Martin County. Cornelius died in Crawford County, Indiana. John J. Ridge is the adm. of the estate. Even though I believe that Cornelius is the father of John J. Ridge, there is still an outside chance that William Ridge is his father. In all the land deeds and the estate papers of Cornelius, I have not seen any of his wife's mentioned. In the book by Pleasant on Page 85 list a Charles Ridge for the 1820 census. Page 121 states that J.J. Ridge was still living in May 24, 1907. Page 89 states that the commissioners appointed William Ridge to attend Indiana University, November 1834. viii.

Thomas Hamilton, born 1745 in Charles County, Maryland; died 1807 in Washington County, Kentucky. He was the son of 432. James (Capt) Hamilton and 433. Mary Ann Coombes. He married 217. Ann Hodgkin 1781 in Maryland. 217. Ann Hodgkin, born June 05, 1758 in Prince George, Maryland; died November 05, 1819 in Springfield, Washington County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of 434. Thomas Hodgkin and 435. Lucy Page. Notes for Thomas Hamilton: Thomas Hamilton married in Maryland, Ann Hodgkins, and in the spring of the year 1797 he brought his wife and eight children to Washington County. The family settled on the waters of Cartwright's Creek and Parker's Run, about 6 miles from Springfield and on the road from Springfield to Bardstown. The land is now owned by Mr. Ollie Berber, and a large brick dwelling house now stands on a hill overlooking the road and the site where the log cabin, in which Thomas Hamilton and his family lived in 1797. Elizabeth married Clement Hill son of Thomas Hill in 1798. They lived near Lebanon and were the parents of 17 children. The descendants of Clement Hill are in excess of those of any other of the early Catholic emigrants to the state. Thomas Hamilton performed loyal civil service from 4-19-1775 to 9-8-1783 as an overseer of the highway in Mount Calvary upper hundred with Joseph Selby. Revolutionary records of Maryland state Thomas Hamilton also took the oath of fidelity in Prince George's County in 1778 When the Hamiltons first arrived in Kentucky in 1797 they attended Mass in the home of Thomas Hill. Later land was acquired for the building of a Catholic Chapel, later known as St. Ann's Church. St. Ann's was a log cabin church. In 1807, the Dominican Fathers wanted to build a larger church. Thomas was one of the main contributors to the new church. His descendants are written up in the church records. Their graves are still visible in the cemetary ground which are located near St. Roses. As was usual at this time, Thomas Hamilton was buried on his own plantation or farm. The grave of Thomas Hamilton is on the south side of Highway 150 about six miles from Springfield on land owned by Thomas and near his house. This land is currently owned by Pat Mattingly. Thomas Hamilton and his cousin Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, were of English origin but long connected with Scotland. Both were descendants of Walter FitzGilbert of Hamilton , who, in 1296 swore fidelity to Edward I of England. In 1445 the family was enrolled in the person of Sir James Hamilton of Cadyon, who was created Lord Hamilton of Cadyon. James the 3rd Marquis of Hamilton, one of the most distinguished of the family, created Duke of Hamilton in 1643 by Charles I, was taken prisoner by the parliamentary forces soon after the battle of Preston, and was beheaded in March 1649. Thomas Hamilton brought his wife and eight children to Washington County, KY in the spring of 1797 where they settled on the waters of Cartwright's Creek and Parker's Run, about 6 miles from Springfield. At the time of his death Thomas owned 600 acres of land and a personal estate of approximately 1000 pounds. The considerable lineage "of Thomas" and his wife is from five sons of his six sons. The marriages of his sons allied the Hamiltons to Smith, Edelen, Hayden, Clements, Campbell, Vaughan and Saunders. Thomas' four daughters married into the Hills, Smiths, Clements and Franeys. Children of Thomas Hamilton and Ann Hodgkin are: i. Mary Hamilton, born 1782; married Clement Hill; born 1776. ii. Richard Hamilton, born 1784. iii.

Notes for Edward Lloyd Hamilton: Edward Lloyd Called "Lloyd" was only 14 when his father died. His brother Walter was his guardian. He was taught by the Jesuits and became a physician. He practiced in Green County Kentucky. He was only four years of age when his family moved from Maryland to Washington County Kentucky. After the death of his first wife he moved to Union County Kentucky. He and his new wife lived in Uniontown. It is believed that he died in New Orleans. LA in 1850. His will was written and probated in Uniontown Kentucky. During the Black Hawk War his son states that his father worked as a surgeon and worked closely with Abraham Lincoln.

George Stonestreet Edelen, born 1760 in Washington County, Kentucky; died 1803 in Washington County, Kentucky. He was the son of 436. Richard Edelen and 437. Sarah Stonestreet. He married 219. Sarah Edelen March 14, 1785. 219. Sarah Edelen, born 1763 in Charles County, Maryland; died July 20, 1848 in Marion County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of 438. Edward Edelen and 439. Susanna Wathen. Notes for George Stonestreet Edelen: 4a. George Stonestreet Edelen (1760 - c. 1810) was the son of Richard and Sarah (Stonestreet) Edelen, and grandson of Christopher and Jane (Jones) Edelen, 2c. above. He was born in 1760 in Prince Georges County. On July 27, 1776 he enlisted in the Flying Camp under Captain Bowie (ref 4). It was recorded on this day that he was 17 years of age, and 5 ft 7 1/2 inches tall. It is likely that George Edelen saw action around New York that year. He survived the war, and returned to Maryland. In May 1785 he was married to his cousin Sarah Edelen by one Father Pile. While her lineage has not been conclusively determined, it is reasonable to presume that this Sarah was Sarah Ann Edelen, the daughter of Joseph Edelen and Catherine Queen, and born on Feb 3, 1769. He purchased land in Charles County in 1791 and again in 1803, the latter one being "Berry's Hazard" located on the Piney Branch, possibly near present-day Waldorf, Maryland. No offspring or dates of death have been determined for this Revolutionary hero or his wife. George Stonestreet Edelen (1760-18--) George Stonestreet Edelen, son of Richard and Sarah (Stonestreet) Edelen, was born 1760 in Prince George County. On July 27, 1776, he was enlisted by Captain Bowie for services in the Flying Camp, at which time it was stated that he was aged 17, born in Prince George County, and 5 feet 7 1/2 inches high. He saw active service around New Youk during that summer and fall, after which he recruited for the American Army. On May 14, 1785, by the Rev. Father Henry Pile he was married to his cousin Sarah Edelen. On July 27, 1791, he purchased from William Robinson, Sr. , of Charles County for 40 pounds "Robinson's Tryal". Linder Robinson waived dower, and the witnesses were John Dent and George Lee. On August 6, 1803, he bought of Samuel A. Berry of Charles County "Berry's Hazard", lying on the main witnesses were Ignatius Middleton and Benjamin Cawood. They moved to the Cartwright's Creek settlement in Washington County, Kentucky around 1795. His name was included in a 1803-04 letter of appeal to the Archbishop of Baltimore for a priest for the Catholics of Cartwright's Creek. The land that he purchased lay at the southern end of the Cartwright's Settlement proper. His residence stood within a few hundred yards of where now stands (though somewhat changed) that in which the late Archbishop John Lancaster Spalding spent his youth. Richard M. Spalding, the archbishop's father, bought this Edelen estate. Until within twenty-five or thirty years ago a roof over a hole in the ground by the side of the Springfield-Lebanon Turnpike, which had served as an ice house, marked the place where George Edelen lived and died. ....... George Edelen (?-c. 1810) according to family tradition was the son of Robert Edelen, but his exact lineage has not been determined. According to the genealogy "Snatches of O'Daniel", he was a revolutionary war vetran who married his cousin Sarah Ann Edelen. Several other genealogies (Crolian Edelen and Vivian Edelen) support this. Charmaine Welker lists Sarah Ann Edelen, born February 1763, as the daughter of Edward Edelen and Susannah Wathen. George and Sarah Edelen were married on May 14, 1785, and at least their first two children were born in Maryland. They moved to the Cartwright's Creek settlement in Washington County, Kentucky around 1795 (ref 32). His name was included in a 1803-04 letter of appeal to the Archbishop of Baltimore for a priest for the Catholics of Cartwright's Creek. Father O'Daniel in his book "Snatches of O'Daniel" (reference 32) lists the following children, from whom a large number of Kentucky Edelen kin are descended: Robert Edelen married Hettie Riney Alice Edelen married Thomas Medley Priscilla Edelen d.s.p. Harriet Edelen married Alexander Hamilton Louise Edelen married John Abraham Rhodes Elizabeth Edelen married James Howard Althea Edelen married Edward Hamilton Benedict Edelen married 1) Elizabeth Hamilton 2) Theresa Wright Leonard Edelen married Susan Bruce James married Rose Cambron Lucy Edelen married William Thompson Hamilton Children of George Edelen and Sarah Edelen are: i.

Mary Eleanor Suit, born 1767; died 1850. She was the daughter of 446. Nathaniel Suit and 447. Mary Burch. Notes for Samuel Edelen: Samuel Edelen (c. 1763-1835) was the son of Charles and Catherine Edelen, and great-grandson of Richard and Sarah (Hagan) Edelen 2a. above. He was born about 1763 near Piscataway, Maryland. In 1787 he married Mary Suit (c. 1767 - c. 1850) in Prince George's County, Maryland. Together they had nine children (ref 4): Alexander Edelen Charles Edelen married Anne Morland Cynthia Edelen married Richard Smith, Jr. Teresa Edelen Cecilia Edelen Nancy Edelen married ____ Philipps Edward H. Edelen Christopher Edelen Martina Edelen married ____ Ball In April of 1796 Samuel Edelen conveyed to Edward Edelen (his brother?) a portion of "Edelen's Rest" laying on the Piscataway Branch, and to George Peiper the property "Appledore" east of Piscataway. This was probably in preparation for a westward move. He is included in the list of early settlers of the community of Cartwright's Creek, founded in 1787 in Washington County, Kentucky (ref 3). John Edelin and Zacharaiah Edelin (lineage unknown) are also included in this list. Washington County court records show in 1803 that he be cleared of military duty due to his age being over 45 years old (ref 29). The 1810 census for Kentucky shows Samuel Edelen residing in Washington County. He died there in 1835 and requested in his will to be buried at St. Rose Catholic Church. All property was devised to his wife during her lifetime, and then to his sons Christopher and Edward H. Edelen. Mary (Suit) Edelen was named in the 1850 census of Kentucky as 83 years of age (ref 4). According to Charmaine Welker's research, Lucy Edelen, sister of Samuel and wife of Edward Knotley Clarkson, also moved to Washington County (ref 29). She is buried at St. Rose's Cemetary there.

Jonas Sparks. Notes for Minus Griggs: Minus Griggs, Jr., married about 1774, Rachel Sparks, daughter ofJonas and Mary Sparks. In 1788, both Minus Griggs and Jonas Sparks wereon a list of residents of Rowan County as having neglected or refused totake the Oath of Allegiance to the State of North Carolina. They later did sign, but from this it is not known what his sentiments had beenconcerning the Revolution. From 1786-89 Minus acquired property in RowanCounty, and then began selling it off by 1791 and he was last foundselling his land there in 1797. Soon thereafter, Minus and his familymoved to Clark County, Kentucky, to join his eldest son Clement Griggswho had moved there in 1795. "Minus Griggs died in Clark County, Kentucky about 1815, and in Marchof 1816, settlement of his estate began. Sons Samuel and John wereadministrators of his estate. Rachel and ten of his children were listedas heirs (they had several younger children who were not named on thisrecord as they were not of age at this time, but [the] census lists[includes] younger children at home.) Rachel was listed on the taxrecords of the county until 1823, and presumably died shortly afterthis. [NOTE: Tom and Jim Goldrup include additional information on thedescendants of Minus and Rachel (Sparks) Griggs for which see theirfamily sheets.] "The husband of Rachel Sparks, daughter of Jonas Sparks, was MinusGriggs. His father's name was also Minus Griggs, but he had died longbefore his son of the same name came to Rowan County, and the youngerMinus Griggs was never called "Jr." there. For this reason, we have notadded "Jr." to his name in this account. In referring to his father,however, we will call him "Sr." "The date of birth of Minus Griggs has not been discovered, but itappears that he was a number of years older than his wife, RachelSparks. His father, Minus Griggs, Sr., appears to have been in OrangeCounty, Virginia, as a young man, but by 1760 he was with his father inGranville County, North Carolina. Minus Griggs, Sr. died soon after1760; his will was proved in the Granville County Court on February 10,1761, on the oaths of two of the witnesses, Andrew Hampton and Andrew'sson, Ephraim Hampton. The original of this document survives in thecourthouse in Granville Countv. The following transcript has been madefrom a xerox copy appearing in The Hampton Family compiled by CarolineParker Maurice and published in 1993. Notes for Rachel Sparks: 795-6: "Rachel Sparks, daughter of Jonas Sparks. She was calledRachel Griggs in her father's will, but there is no marriage bond for heron file in Rowan County; it must be remembered, however that many earlyNorth Carolina marriages were accomplished through the crying of bannsrather than through bonds, and that no record was made of the banns typemarriage. Several Sparks deeds in Rowan County were witnessed by MinusGriggs, and it seems probable that he was the husband of Rachel.Rachel's brother, David Sparks, named a son Minus, perhaps for Minus Griggs." "Rachel Griggs, identified in Jonas Sparks's will as one of his threedaughters, was very nearly the same age as her second cousin, Rachel(Sparks) Bicknell. Our only clue regarding the year of birth of Rachel(Sparks) Griggs is the approximate year of birth, based on censusrecords, of her first son, Clement Griggs. He was born about 1775. If Rachel had been married at age 16, a typical age for a girl to be marriedin those days, she could have been born as early as 1758. It is possiblethat she was even married before her father joined Daniel Boone in 1773,bound for Kentucky. In her father's will, she was named immediately after her deceased brother, Jonas Sparks, Jr. Although it has long been a common practice in drawing up a will to name one's children in the orderof their birth (sometimes with the sons before the daughters), the factthat Jonas Sparks, Jr. had pre-deceased his father, could account forJonas naming him first. The fact that Jonas provided so liberally forthis grandson, Joseph, son of Jonas, Jr., suggests, however, that Jonas,Jr. had been, indeed, the oldest son. Under the custom of primogeniture,by which the eldest son was entitled to all of his father's land, ifJonas, Jr. was the eldest son, his son, Joseph, would have beenconsidered the principal heir of his grandfather. Jonas Sparks made no mention in his will of the sons named Joseph andGeorge who appeared with him as polls on the tax list of 1775, notedearlier. Both may have died without issue before 1805, or they may havemoved away from Rowan County after receiving, perhaps, their share oftheir father's estate. Jonas' three daughters were identified, as shown,under their married names. The fact that Rachel was named first probablyindicates that she was the oldest of the sisters. child: Griggs, Clement (~1775 - >1850) ----------child: Griggs, John (1779 - 1876) ----------child: Griggs, Sarah (1781 - <1850) ----------child: Griggs, William (<1784 - <1840) ----------child: Griggs, Samuel Nelson (1787 - 1864) ----------child: Griggs, Elizabeth (*1790 - ) ----------child: Griggs, Joshua (*1790 - ) ----------child: Griggs, Leonard (*1795 - 1878) ----------child: Griggs, Fielding (~1797 - ) ----------child: Griggs, Wiley (~1797 - ) ----------child: Griggs, David (~1798 - ) ----------child: Griggs, Theophilus (*1799 - ) ----------child: Griggs, Lavinia (~1800 - ) ----------child: Griggs, Peyton (~1800 - ) ----------child: Griggs, Burgess (1802 - ) Child of Minus Griggs and Rachel Sparks is: 116 i.

Thomas Mattingly and 553. Elizabeth. He married 277. Elizabeth. 277. Elizabeth, born Abt. 1664 in England; died Abt. 1730. Notes for Thomas Mattingly II: The exact date of arrival in America of the Mattingly family is unknown. So far, searches of passenger lists of all ships coming to the colonies in the early years has not revealed any member of the Mattingly family. The first records of the Mattingly family in America are found in Maryland in 1664. It is possible that they arrived in late 1663 or early 1664. The family contained Thomas, the father, his wife Elizabeth, and their children: two sons, Thomas and Cezar, and two daughters, Judith (who is listed as Judith Turner) and Elizabeth. Thomas died early in 1664 without making a will. His widow, Elizabeth, was given letters of administration and signed an executors bond on July 24, 1664. An inventory of the family's good reveals that they had few possessions. Their livestock was a cow, a calf, and a heifer. They also had a still and most of the rest of the inventory comprised tools, personal clothing and housewares. A local attorney, Walter Pake, who married the widow Elizabeth took care of the legal affairs of the Mattingly family. On 1 August 1665 he entered the rights of the immigrant Mattingly family to 300 acres of land. Having paid their own passage, each member of the family was entitled to 50 acres of land. A certificate was issued in May 1666 for 300 acres of land in Charles County, Maryland to be known as "Mattingly's Hope" and the patent for the tract was issued on 4 September 1666 made out to the two boys of the family, Thomas and Cezar. One can conclude that, since Thomas did not petition for the land due to the family himself, that he died shortly after his arrival. Thomas and Cezar Mattingly, the two sons of the immigran tThomas, are the first recorded as having 300 acres due the six members of th efamily at fifty acres each. The parcel of land was surveyed and patented t o them in 1666 (citing Land Records, Liber EE, folio 469; Patents, Liber 9 ,folio 475. And Land Records Liber FF, folio 52; Patents, Liber 10, folio 4 5(1666). (See Documents IV and V). The tract of land, to be known as "Matting ly's Hope," was in Charles County. It was described as "lying in the wood s on the east side of the maine fresh runn of Portoback Creek and back sid e of the land formerly laid out for John Cane and Ignatius Causine..." Th eProp- erty was in Port Tobacco Hundred with a yearly rent of six shillings .The patent for this tract testifies that the family had paid its own transpor- tation to the Province and was, therefore, entitled to the 300 acres.

Notes for Peter Carrico: Peter CARRICO. II (3) was born in Charles County, Maryland, the son of Peter CARRICO (2) and --- .He married first Ann Gates (b 7/23/1690), the daughter of Robert and Dorothy Gates, the daughter of his step-mother [possible error, Dorothy Gates was not married in 1722, when she testified as a widow]. In his will written in 1694 Robert Gates left 80 acres of "Maidstone" to his daughter Ann and 20 acres to his wife Dorothy. His wife's share was to go to his son Joseph Gates. Ann Gates' 80 acres of "Maidstone" was later in possession of Peter CARRICO. On 9/10/1734 a warrant was issued to Peter CARRICO for Ann Gate's tract of "Maidstone." The warrant stated that the tract was sold by John Hunt to Robert Gates, "ather of the said Ann." Robert Gates in his will bequeathed the land to his daughter. The daughter then married Peter CARRICO " & is since dead by which means the said land is become the right of Peter" (Warrant EE:446). At the time of this warrant "Maidstone" contained 215 acres. On 618/1730 Peter CARRICO, planter of Charles County, leased to Abel CARRICO, planter, 40 acres of the tract "Maidenstone" for twenty-one years for a yearly rent of a cask of 500 pounds of tobacco, and with the following conditions: "Abel CARRICO "may not have more than one person, besides his own family ...upon the land. Abel CARRICO shall not sell any timber without the permission of Peter CARRICO, nor waste timber. Abel CARRICO shall build what houses he has occasion of during sd term, at his own cost." Around 1736 Peter CARRICO married secondly Margaret- (b 1715, Deed P#3:614). In a 1767 court case concerning "Gate's Hope," which included in it a resurvey of "Maidenstone" and "Hunt's Venture," Margaret Carrico age 52 stated that her husband Peter CARRICO had shown her the post in question (Charles Co Deed P#3:613). In the Charles County rent rolls in 1753 Peter CARRICO had 312 acres of "Maidstone" and "Additions to Maidstone," and 94 acres of "Carrico's Hope," which had formerly been "Gate's Hope." In June, 1762 20 acres out of the 94 acres of "Carrico's Hope" was cultivated and had a 16 feet square clapboard dwelling, a 20 feet square tobacco house, 22 old apple trees and about 400 panels of old fence (Unpatented Certificate#70). Peter CARRICO. Jr. sold 100 acres of "Maidstone" to his father in 1764 (Deed L#3:467). Peter CARRICO, Sr.-sold the tract to Samuel Hanson (Deed L#3:467, 580). Samuel Hanson sold the land to Richard Carnes, then James CARRICO of Peter bought the land (Deed 2#3:285). James CARRICO sold the land to Arthur Smoot (V#3:520). Peter CARRICO wrote his will on 4/14/1764 and it was probated in Charles County on 10/18/1765 (Will 33:418). He named his wife Margaret and sons John, Thomas Ignatius, James, Bartholomew and Basil. After the death of his wife, his four sons were to have the tract "Maidenstone" and his son James was to have the tract called "Carrico's Hope." Margaret Carrico administered the estate of Peter CARRICO on 10/31/1765, valued at £17.05.11. The next of kin on his inventory were his sons Ignatius CARRICO and John CARRICO (fuv 92:236). 3) Children of Peter CARRICO and Ann Gates 7) Peter CARRICO, Jr. took the Oath of Allegiance in 1778 and was a private in Capt.

Maryland Calendar of Wills: Volume 5 page 205 Hall, Simon. planter, St Mary's Co. - - 1725 22nd November 1725 To Samuel Abell ex., real and personal estate in Maryland. To cousin Margarett Brown and hrs., house in South Shields, county Durham, which John Willcison lived in. To Elizabeth Brown, house that George Bouere lived in, also house that Thomas Cartar lived in. Test. Henry Briant, James Farthing, James Stark 18, 417 Samuel Abell II, was born about 1675; married about 1704, Winifred Hall. Educated for his day, ambitious, aspiring, a prominent citizen and officer holder in St. Mary's County, throughout his active life, a course rendered possible only by conforming to the Church of England. He acted as Episcopal vestryman and held civil office between 1720 and 1750, as justice of the peace, sheriff, and member of House of Burgesses, for St. Mary's County. The records of All Faiths' Episcopal Church show he was vestryman in 1723-42, while his brother John was warden, and in 1749, a vestryman. Samuel's protestantism does not seem to have been wholly convincing to his fellow parishioners, for we find that in 1737 he was required to and did, take the test oath. He died probably before 1755. There is no will, or other reference to his death. By putting together scattered hints it has been determined that he married Winifred Hall, daughter Simeon Hall, who died testate in St. Mary's County in 1717 and devised all the property he owned in Maryland to Samuel Abell, while that located at South Shield's, Durham County, England, he left to his cousins, the Misses Brown. In 1725 we find a Winifred Abell attesting a will. This is about all we can discover of this worthy pair, except that for certain they had a son Samuel III, ordinarily and irreverently called among his descendants "old Sheriff Samuel Abell" and who styled himself Samuel Abell, Jr., even in his will, though then the eldest of that name. We have missed so far, the name Robert which should have appeared if the founder was Captain Robert. The theory is, that Samuel Abell I had a son so named who died in infancy, or without issue, and that Samuel II also had a son Robert who became the father of Samuel Abell, the youngest. In some way the name was kept alive and in the later generations became the favorite name, though but very seldom in the early history of St. Mary's County.

This may be a good place to mention that in the Maryland Calendar of Wills, Joseph Francis is listed as Joseph Francis Excol Dante. We have studied John Dant's original will (which was later copied into the will book), and it is clear that what was read by someone as "Excol" is actually the abbreviation for "Xavior" (pronounced "Exzavior" and also "Zavior"). Joseph Francis Xavior and Martha had four children: Thomas, William, Mary, and Joseph Francis. My family is descended from William, who had a tailor shop in Georgetown. William married Susan Fenwick in 1814, and then went off to the Battle of Bladensburg (War of 1812). They are my great-great-grandparents. iii.

Land Deed 410 Frankfort, KY. In an "old dilapidated record book on Charles County, MD has a list of the Charles County revolutionary patriots who took the oath of fidelity. Listed is Cambron, Baptist; Cambron, James; Cambron, Henry; Cambron, Thomas; Cambron, Milborn." This must be Paden's book of Rev War Patriots of Charles Co, MD. In this book John Baptist Cambron is listed as "taking the Oath of Allegiance and as a Pvt. Militia 12 Battalion, Capt. Alexander McPherson's Co. 1777. which lists the name of John B. Resident of Bryan Town Hundred in 1788. He married and migrate to Ky where he died on May 8, 1815."

John Baptist Cambron was Private in the Virginia State Line April 1779-May 1783 Artillery Division - Virginia State Troop: Crump, Commander Ref. Bk 1 Military Warrents p.137.

Henry was married in Maryland to Margaret Harbin. One of the most continuously prosperous Catholic settlements in Kentucky was first known as Cartwright's Creek Catholic Settlement. Cartwright's Creek got its name from Samuel Cartwright, a companion of James and Jacob Sandusky, who prospected through the district in 1777 and built on a neighboring stream, known as Pleasant Run, a stockade known as Sandusky's fort.

They were reared Presbyterian, one married a Catholic lady in Baltimore, then converted to Catholicism. The other five brothers were very incensed at him for this and disowned him.

Jonas Sparks, born 1727 in Frederick, Maryland; died 1805. He was the son of 932. Joseph Sparks and 933. Rachel Sample. Notes for Jonas Sparks: Notes for JONAS SPARKS: Migrated to North Carolina. From research done by Mildred Carter Renoe: "Jonas Sparks probably came to Rowan County, North Carolina from Maryland with his brother, Solomon Sparks before 1761. Solomon, Matthew and Jonas Sparks are listed in Caleb Osborn's District of Rowan County, North Carolina on the tax list of 1761. In 1763, Jonas Sparks bought land from his brother, Solomon Sparks located on the south side of the Yadkin River just opposite the point at which Muddy Creek flows into the Yadkin. That portion of Rowan County became Davie County in 1836. It is not yet known when Jonas Sparks married or the name of his first wife, the mother of his children." --- from the Sparks Quarterly she writes: "Jonas Sparks was a young man, not yet of age, when he accompanied his brothers and cousins to the Forks of the Yadkin. His name appeared on a Rowan County tax list in 1759 thus proving that he had reached the age twenty-one. The fragment of a tax list for 1761 shows that he was living then on the opposite side of the Yadkin River from his brother, Solomon. He had squatted on a tract near Muddy Creek on a small branch thereof which yet bears his name, "Sparks Creek." In a land claim made by one Evan Davis in 1778, the description referred to "Jonas Sparks' Branch." Jonas made some improvements on his land, but he failed to purchase it from Lord Granville prior to January 1762 when one of the Moravian German settlers nearby named Jacob Lash (or Loesch) obtained from Granville's land agent two different tracts totalling 1,384 acres which included the land on which Jonas had been living. It was after this misfortune that Jonas purchased from his brother for only five pounds slightly over 130 acres on the west (or south) side of the North Yadkin (Rowan County Deed Book 5, page 275)." "Jonas Sparks and Daniel Boone were about the same age, and because as teenagers and young married men they lived near each other, they became good friends. In 1773, about two years after his brother, Solomon, had left for Surry County and his cousins, William and Matthew Sparks, had followed him, Jonas and his young family set out on an even more adventurous journey. Daniel Boone had returned from his exploration of Kentucky and invited others to join him and his family as settlers in that new and wonderful land. Jonas was one of five young men to volunteer, the others being Boone's brother, Squire Boone, Jr., and three sons of Morgan Bryan: James, Morgan, Jr. and William." We don't know all the tragedies and hardships these families encountered on the trail to Kentucky and in their settlement at Boonesborough. Jonas Sparks' wife may have died in Kentucky. Sone of the Bryans and Jonas Sparks returned to their homes in the Yadkin area. Here Jonas marri3ed the widow, Mary Eakle. Here his daughter, Esther, married Jesse Caton in 1787. From the publication "THE SPARKS QUARTERLY - VOL. XLI, NO. 3 - SEPTEMBER, 1993" we find the following mention of Jonas Sparks: "We have just recently learned that Jonas Sparks (ca. 1730-1805), a friend and neighbor of the well-known pioneer, Daniel Boone, is among a large group of settlers which has been honored for helping with the establishment of Fort Boonesborough, Kentucky, in 1775. A marble stone, approximately fifteen feet high, has been erected at the entrance to the re-constructed fort, and about 750 names have been carved on the four faces of the stone. Among these names is that of Jonas Sparks." Several records survive which suggest that the Sparks men of William's generation were quite content for the American colonies to remain under British rule. A large number of men living in the Forks of the Yadkin River in North Carolina were Tories or Loyalists. Many of them probably had relatives in England. In North Carolina Committees of Safety were established in each county which took over the local government. Sub-committees were formed to influence the disaffected. The "disaffected" were those citizens who opposed taking up arms against the mother country. The older members of the Sparks family were probably among the "disaffected." From a publication unknown with the page number of "-3777-" and the heading of "William Sparks, ca.1725-1801/02, continued:" (probably The Sparks Quarterly) comes the following information: In 1778, soon after Jonas Sparks had returned from Kentucky, the new "state" of North Carolina demanded that all of its adult male citizens sign oaths of allegiance to the new state government. When the Rowan County Court met on August 5, 1778, the justices took note of a long list of individuals who had "neglected or refused ... to take the Oath of Alloegiance." Among those listed was Jonas Sparks (Rowan County Court Minutes, Vol. 4, page 159). The punishment for refusing to take this oath was the confiscation of one's estate, but this action seems not to have been taken against Jonas, perhaps because he repented his earlier neglect or refusal to sign. Nevertheless, four years later, on November 9, 1782, following the surrender of General Cornwallis, Jonas Sparks was brought before the same Court, with five other men, "to Shew Court Cause why their Estates should not be Confiscated." The Court record is disappointingly brief regarding the action taken, but apparently Jonas, as well as the others, was able to explain their earlier opposition to the Revolution, and all of them "were discharged." (Vol. 4, page 333; these two references are found in Mrs. Linn's abstracts of these court records, Vol. III, pp. 38 & 86.) Last Will and Testament of Jonas Sparks Rowan County Courthouse, Salisbury, North Carolina, Book D, Page 50 In the name of God Amen the 11th May 1805, I, Jonas Sparks, in the County of Rowan, being very weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be to God for it therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament that is to say principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God who gave it and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a decent and Christian like manner at the discretion of my executors nothing doubting, but at the general resurrection, I shall receive the same again, by the mighty power of God and as touching such worldly estate, wherewith it had pleased God to bless me with in this life, I give, devise and dispose in the following manner and form: 1755 Early North Carolina Census Index Sparks, Jonas - Rowan County NC No Township Listed 1759 Early North Carolina Census Index Sparks, Jonas - Rowan County NC 1761 Early Tax List North Carolina Census Index Sparks, Jonas - Rowan County NC 1800 Rowan County, North Carolina Census - page 439 Sparks, Jonas 22001-12101-00 From Sparks Quarterly page 383 Jonas Sparks was probably a brother of Soloman Sparks, and accompanied Daniel Boone to Kentucky 1n 1773; he did not remain in Kentucky, however, and soon returned to NC. (see Sparks Quarterly of September 1953. pp 13-16). Name on monument in Fort Boonesborough, Kentucky Taken from the Sparks Quarterly Newsletter dated December 1998, Whole No. 184 When Jonas Sparks was about twenty years old in, we believe, the spring of 1754, he accompanied a number of his Sparks relatives in their move from Frederick County, Maryland, to the Forks of the Yadkin in North Carolina. Rowan County then included the large area known as the Forks of the Yadkin, but the part of Rowan County where Jonas acquired land was cut off from Rowan in 1822 to form Davidson County. The first wife of Jonas Sparks, and the mother of his children, had the forename Elizabeth, but we have not discovered her maiden name. It is probable that they were married after Jonas came to North Carolina. Their daughter, named Elizabeth, was probably name for the mother. In the autumn of 1773, when Elizabeth was eight year old, Jonas Sparks and his family joined the famous frontiersman, Daniel Boone, then a near neighbor of the Sparkses, in Boone's plan to establish a settlement in what would become the state of Kentucky. In his explorations, Boone had found a "promised land" to which he would lead families on the "Wilderness Trail" to this "promised land." The heads of these four were Daniel Boone's brother Squire Boone, and three brothers named Bryan, (James, Morgan, Jr., and William). (Daniel Boone's wife was Rebecca Bryan.) Among these six families, there were about forty males old enough to carry rifles, and it was they who took the lead on the party's daily march. The women and small children followed on horseback, while youngsters driving a hard of cattle brought up the rear. Although there was concern that they might encounter hostile Indians, all went well until October 10, 1773, as they were approaching the Cumberland Gap. Here they had to ford the Powell River. The armed men and boys crossed first to form a line to protect the women and children as they crossed, assuming that if Indians should attack, they would do so at the front of the party. Instead, there was an ambush, with the attack from the rear. During the ensuring battle, six you men were killed, including Daniel Boone's oldest son. No one in the Sparks family was killed. In Daniel Boone's autobiography, completed in 1784, he recalled: "Though we repulsed the enemy, yet this unhappy affair scattered our cattle, brought us into extreme difficultly, and so discouraged the whole company, that we retreated forty miles to the settlement on the Clinch River." Based on Bryan family memories and records, a great-grandnephew of Daniel Boone, a Dr. J. D. Bryan, wrote an article entitled, "The Boone-Bryan History" that was published in the 1905 Registrar of the Kentucky State Historical Society (Vol. 5, No. 9). Later this was published in the form of a booklet. In this, page 17, appears the following interesting reference to eight-year old Elizabeth Sparks: ...at the time of the attack by the Indians, the company was fording Powell's River. Elizabeth Sparks (a member of) one of the ...families from North Carolina, then about nine years old, was riding a gentle horse and carrying a baby brother before her. She was in the midst of the river when the Indians fired on the rear guard. My great uncle (i.e grand uncle) Henry Bryan, at a later date, married this Elizabeth Sparks in Kentucky, and they afterwards came to Missouri, where they lived until their death. She lived to be nearly one hundred years old. I have seen and heard from her talk often. She finally died at my oldest sister's house after I was grown." An Indian War, known as Lord Dunmore's War, broke out not long after the Boone company retreat, and two years passed before the journey was begun again. It appears that Jonas Sparks and his family had returned to their old home on the Yadkin River in North Carolina well before June 1775 when Daniel Boone again began his Kentucky venture. He and his followers successfully reached the site on the Kentucky River where they built Fort Boonesborough and founded the dreamed-of settlement, but Jonas Sparks and family were not among them. Henry and Elizabeth's association with the family of Daniel Boone continued, and when Daniel's venturesome spirit prompted him and his family to be pioneers again in an area that is today St. Charles and Warren Counties, Missouri, Henry and Elizabeth soon followed. other friends and relatives did, likewise, including Elizabeth's sister and here husband, Ester and Jesse Caton. They obtained land grants from the Spanish government. Spain then ruling the area. The grave of Elizabeth Sparks Bryan is (south) across the street from the U.C.C. Church in Marthasville. Henry Bryan died on August 20, 1820, in that part of Montgomery County, Missouri, that became Warren County in 1833. Elizabeth had thus been a widow for nearly 43 years when she died. Elizabeth and Henry are believed to have had 10 children; most were born in Kentucky. (Daniel Boone died on September 26, 1820, and was buried close to where the Bryans lived in Warren County).

Notes for Robert Hancock: ID: I0200 Name: Robert HANCOCK , Jr Sex: M Birth: 1679 in of Henrico Co., Va Death: 1732 Note: Shown are the children as listed in the Bible record. The wife is not referred to. The following info is from "GATEWAY FAMILIES: Ancestors and Descendants of Richard Simrall Hawes, III and Marie Christy Johnson," (1994), by Christy Hawes Bond; edited by genealogist Alicia Crane Williams: An old family Bible belonging to the Hancock family [my note: per Arvil Hancock this Bible was owned by Simon Hancock (1717-1791) and Jane Flournoy, but cannot now be found] and recited by The Johnstons of Salisbury states: "In ye year 1620 William Hancock in search for Forrest for his building of ships, embarked for ye plantations, being one of ye company owners thereof, leaving his familye in England; on ye 22nd of March, 1622 he, with others, was massacreed by ye salvages at Thorpe's House, Berkeley Hundred, fifty miles from Charles city." According to this Bible record, William's son Augustine Hancock came to Virginia in 1630 to claim his father's estate. The Bible lineage continues through Augustine's son William, to his son George, and to Robert Hancock. However, this Bible record was clearly made long after the events given in the above statement, and there is no evidence to support the generations prior to Robert. The Bible does not name Robert Hancock's wife, but lists his sons as Robert, Edward, William, George, Thomas, and Joshua. Margaret Hancock of Henrico and Chesterfield counties, Virginia, made a number of land transactions associating her with men named William, George, Joshua, and Thomas Hancock. This leads us to a Robert Hancock, whose wife was named Margaret, given in Adventurers of Purse and Person. He was a son of Robert and Johan (Ligon) Hancock, and thus a descendant through Col. Thomas Ligon of Edward I, King of England (see Appendix IV). The progeny of Robert and Margaret Hancock are not identified in Adventurers of Purse and Person, and John Frederick Dorman, co-author of that work, has not made any attempt to trace them. He does state, however, that this identification of the ancestry of Robert Hancock (No. 968) is "more reasonable than the statements in the Bible which refer to persons (Augustine, for instance) who cannot even be found mentioned in any earlier Virginia records which I have checked..." Robert Hancock, son of Robert and Johan, was living in 1729. His family resided in Henrico County, Virginia. On 1 June 1747, William Hatcher of Dale Parish, Henrico County, sold to Margaret Hancock of the same, one hundred acres of land on a branch of Appomattox River called Skinquarter Creek that William had bought from Robert Hancock. Witnesses were Thomas Friend, Thomas Hancock, and George Hancock. On 8 August 1748, William Hancock of Henrico County sold to George Hancock of the same, 350 acres of land "on Beaver Ponds of Swift Creek" that had been purchased from Thomas Richardson in 1744.. On 26 September 1750, Margaret Hancock of Chesterfield County, Virginia, sold to Joshua Hancock of the same county, 140 acres on the north side of Skinquarter Creek next to Creed Haskins and William Robertson. On 1 July 1751 Margaret Hancock and Joshua Hancock of Chesterfield County sold to George Hancock of the same, 141 acres on the north side of Appomattox River adjoining the river and Skinquarter Creek bounded by Christopher Haskins and Creed Haskins, being land granted to Margaret by deed from William Hatcher in 1747. Margaret and Joshua made another deed on 2 August 1751 to Robert Hancock of Chesterfield County for 140 acres on the north side of Appomattox River between the river and Skinquarter Creek, also described as deeded by Hatcher in 1747. On 3 May 1751 Margaret sold to Robert Hancock of Chesterfield County eighty acres on the South side of Swift Creek on Spring Run, next to land owned by William "Akin," John Baw, William Cook, and Henry Clay. Robert sold this land to William "Aikin" on 8 June 1751 and on 5 May 1752 Robert Hancock, now of Amelia County, Virginia, sold to George Hancock of Chesterfield County, the 140 acres that had been granted to him by Joshua Hancock in August of 1751.

Data gathered by James R. Hancock from The Filson Club and on location at Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, Kentucky. My research, based upon the records available to me, was concentrated upon land records in the counties of Henrico, Chesterfield, Goochland and Amelia Counties, Virginia. Note: Goochland came off Henrico in 1727. Chesterfield came off Henrico in 1749. Amelia adjoins Chesterfield on its southwest. Find following more material which substantiates the portion of the Bible record as to Robert Hancock (1679-1732) and his children, etc. While I find no single piece of evidence which states all this, taken in total, there should be little doubt of it's accuracy. Robert was not the son of George, but was in fact the son of Robert (1650-1708) and Johan (Ligon) Hancock. And his children were exactly as shown in the family Bible. The composite picture appears to be conclusive. Note: It appears to me by the way the Bible record is written, that whoever penned the part about Robert (1679-1732) being the son of George, simply had that part wrong. I don't think we'll ever know how that happened. But it could be that the info was simply dictated by one person to another, and in the process, it was misunderstood and therefore, written down wrong. Of course, there are many other ways this could have happened. And the other part in the Bible which uses such language as "ye," sounds like the language of olde. That part was probably passed down for generations. At any rate, just because a small part is wrong, I see no reason to toss it all out. In fact, much of the rest is confirmed by records which follow. Of course, we must always be open to any other corrections which might be required by official records. To begin: According to pages 183-184 of "The Johnstons of Salisbury: with a brief supplement concerning the Hancock, Strother and Preston Families" (1897), compiled by William Preston Johnston (Press of L. Graham & Sons, Ltd., New Orleans), the following is the record from the family Bible: "In ye year 1620, Wm. Hancock, in search for Forrest for his building of Ships, embarked for ye Plantations, being one of ye Company owners thereof, leaving his familie in England; on ye 22d of March, 1622, he, with others, was massacreed by ye salvages at Thorpe's House, Berkeley Hundred, fifty miles from Charles City. "In 1630, Augustin, son and heir of William, came to Virginia to claim the estate, and died, leaving children, Robert, William, Sarah and Ruth. William, born 1631, died 1672, leaving sons, George, born 1658; Jubal, 1660; Jubal killed by Indians at 'Jinto.' George died, leaving one child, Robert, born 1679, died 1732. Robert left children, Robert, born 1711; he was ancestor of Colonel Wm. Hancock, of Bedford county, Virginia; Edward, born 1713, died young; and Dinah, born 1717, married 'Mr. Patterson,' of Virginia, died without children; William, born 1720, never married; and George, born 1724, who married Mary Jones and had issue. Thomas and Joshua, Thomas, born 1727; Joshua, born 1729, both lost at sea. "George Hancock and Mary Jones' children were Edward, born 1752; never married; died 1820; George, born June 13, 1754, died July 18, 1820; he married Peggy or Margaret Strother (daughter of George Strother and Mary Kennerly), whose second marriage was to Major Lockhart." [end of Bible record per Johnstons of Salisbury]. A summary of the Bible record from Robert Hancock (1679-1732) forward shows the following [JRH notes in brackets]: Children of Robert Hancock (1679-1732) and wife Margaret [maiden unknown] per deeds: 1. Robert, "b. 1711, ancestor of Colonel Wm. Hancock, of Bedford county, Virginia" [Note: The Bible should have said that Robert (1679-1732) was the ancestor of Colonel Wm. Hancock of Bedford Co. Margaret had several land transactions with her son Robert. He had land transactions in Henrico and Chesterfield Cos., and later in Amelia Co. where he later moved]. 2. Edward, "b 1713, died young" [Note: The only reference I find to an Edward Hancock is on page 31 of Va. Colonial Abstracts, Vol. 21, Henrico Co., Southside, by Beverley Fleet, which refers to "The Estate of Seth Ward. Dr. 1736. 7 Levys. 450 acres...Mr. John Wilson. Dr. 1736 [year]. 3 Levys. 1500 acres...Yr note to Creed Haskins. To arrest Rd Nunally. To attaching the lands of Wido Bragg, Benj Chastain, Margaret Hancock and Ewd (Edw?) Handcock for your debt..." After 1736 I find no other reference to him]. 3. Dinah, "b 1717, married 'Mr. Patterson,' of Virginia, died without children" [See deeds below identifying Mr. John Patterson with Dinah & her mother Margaret Hancock. This is one of the major confirmations]. 4. William, "b 1720, never married" [See deed below dated 1748 where William conveyed 350 acres on Beaver Ponds of Swift Creek, to [his brother] George Hancock. One witness was (brother) Joshua Hancock]. 5. George, "b 1724, married Mary Jones and had issue" [He was involved in several land transactions with his mother and brothers. And according to DB 17 Page 293 (Amelia Co.) George died in Amelia Co., and his eldest son was Edward Hancock. Also, see below for George's connection with the Jones and Bowman families. This is another major confirmation]. 6. Thomas, "b 1727, lost at sea" [On 1 Jun 1747 (Henrico Co. Deeds) Thomas was a witness to a deed from William Hatcher of Dale Parish, Henrico Co., to Margaret Hancock, of same, "conveying 100 acres of land on a branch of the Appomattox River called Skinquarter Creek, purchased by William of Robert Hancock." This 1747 reference is the last record of him I find]. 7. Joshua, "b 1729, lost at sea" [He appears in 1748 in Henrico Co. deeds with his brothers William and George. He conveyed on 2 Aug 1751, with his mother, Margaret, "140 acres on the north side of Appomattox River between river and Skin Quarter Creek, to Robert Hancock," all of Chest. Co. (Chest Co DB 1 Page 444). The 1751 reference is the last record of him I find]. Children of George (b. 1724) and Mary (Jones) Hancock: 1. Edward, "born 1752, never married, died 1820" 2. George, "born June 13, 1754, died July 18, 1820, married Peggy or Margaret Strother (daughter of George Strother and Mary Kennerly), whose second marriage was to Major Lockhart" [Note: According to his will (Bedford Co Va WB 1 Pages 434-435), George, b. 1724, also had a wife named Rachel, and other children named Mary Raiford, Judith Hannah, and Elizabeth Hancock, {along with Edward and George}]. Next, I will show in chronological order, a few of the deed records and provide some further comments in brackets. Robert and Johan (Ligon) Hancock had a son named Robert, who m. a Margaret______. Robert [until his death] and Margaret [a widow by 18 Sep 1733] had many land dealings in Henrico. Their land was at or near the James River, with other designations such as Redwater [referred to as in the will of father Robert who died in ca.1708], Procter's Creek, Swift Creek and Skin Quarter Creek [referred to in deeds]. Also, see Adventurers in Purse and Person, page 358, which confirms Robert who m. Margaret as a son of Robert amd Johan. The will of Robert Hancock (1650-1709) devised to his "...two sons Robert and William Hancock all the rest of the land not before devised being the land near the Red Water and is parted by by 200 acres of land which I gave to my son in law Samuel Hancock. Son Robert to have his choice of the two parcels when he comes of age..." Rec: 1 Mar 1708/09. (Henrico Co. Deeds and Wills. 1706-1709). 27 May 1729, "Robert Hancock of Henrico Co, conveyed to Gilbert Bowman of same, 250 acres on the north side of Appomattox River on Skin Quarter Creek as by grant to me 23 Mar 1715, for 500 acres, and is 1/2 of patent and where said Hancock now lives. Signed: Robert Hancock. Margret, wife of Robert, relinquished dower rights." (Henrico Co. Wills & Deeds, 1725-1737) [That is the last record I find of Robert Hancock (1679-1732)]. After Robert's death, ca.1733, his wife Margaret, continued buying and selling land. 18 Sep 1733, Seth Ward of Henrico Co., Gent., to Margret Hancock of Goochland Co., 800 acres, bounded by the river (Goochland Co Wills and Deeds, 1728-1736). [Note: Margaret was a widow by that date. This is confirmed by the reference in a later deed in DB 4 Page 545 (Goochland Co) which follows. The Bible record gives Robert's date of death as 1732]. 18 Apr 1738, Margret Hancock, of Goochland Co., to John Patterson of same, 220 acres on the north side of Appomattox River (DB 3 Page 113, Goochland Co.) [Note: The Bible record names a Mr. Patterson as the husband of Dinah Hancock. This was a conveyance of land from mother-in-law to son-in-law, just after their marriage. Dinah, born in 1717, would have been about age 20]. 24 Feb 1742, Robert Hancock [this would be Margaret's son], of Dale Parish, Henrico Co., planter, 80 acres bounded by Swift Creek...to Margaret Hancock, widow. 18 Dec 1744, John Patterson of Goochland Co., planter, to William Walker, about 620 acres, and bounded by the north side Appomattox River...On Dec 18, 1744, "peaceable possession of the 220 acres (sic) was taken by Seth Ward and by him transferred to the Widow Hancock, and by her transferred to John Patterson. The other 400 acres was had and taken by the within John Patterson and by him delivered to said William Walker. Signed- Jno. Patterson. Wit- R. Walton, Edmd Gray, Saml Burton, James (his mark) Davis. Recorded May 21, 1745. Dinah, the wife of John Patterson, relinquished her right of dower to the conveyed lands." (DB 4 Page 545 Goochland Co) [Here is the connection of Margaret, widow of Robert Hancock, with their daughter Dinah Hancock, who married John Patterson]. 1 Jun 1747, William Hatcher, of Dale Parish, 100 acres on a branch of the Appomattox River called Skin Quarter Creek, purchased by said William of Robert Hancock, to Margaret Hancock. One of the witnesses was Thomas Hancock. 8 Aug 1748, William Hancock, of Henrico Co., 350 acres of land on Beaver Ponds of Swift Creek, purchased by said William of Thomas Richardson 5 Jul 1744, to George Hancock, of same. One of the witnesses was Joshua Hancock. [Those 3 Hancocks were brothers]. 1 Jul 1751, Margaret Hancock, and Joshua Hancock of Chest. Co. 141 acres on the north side of Appomattox River joining the river and Skin Quarter Creek, being the land granted to said Margaret by deed from William Hatcher in 1747, to George Hancock of same. (Chest Co). 5 May 1752, Robert Hancock of Amelia Co. 100 acres land at the mouth of Skin Quarter Creek, part in Chest, part in Cumberland Co., land granted him from Joshua Hancock in 1751. (Chest Co). Mary Jones (wife of George Hancock, b. 1724), was the daughter of Rice and Frances (Bowman) Jones. See in part, the will of Mary's mother, Frances Jones, in WB 1 P 237 (24 May 1752), Chesterfield Co., Va.: "To daughter Mary Hancock, 1 negro…" [This connects the Bowman and Jones families with the Hancocks, all of Henrico/Chest. Cos.]. We know that this Margaret was the wife of Robert Hancock, the son of Robert and Johan (Ligon) Hancoc. Margaret Hancock of Henrico, Goochland and Chesterfield counties, Virginia, made a number of land transactions from 1747-1751, associating her with men named Robert, William, George, Joshua, and Thomas Hancock. It appears that she decided to deed her land to her children rather than later devising the property to them by will. It seems like a perfect fit! Everything in this portion of the Bible record agrees totally with the deed records, i.e: 1). The date of death of Robert (1679-1732) fits perfectly for when Margaret began her real estate deals alone. 2). Dinah Hancock and husband John Patterson, and George Hancock and wife Mary Jones; and their connections to Margaret Hancock. 3). The lack of later records on Thomas and Joshua, both lost at sea. While there is likely more supportive evidence to be found, this is sufficient proof to show the corrected ancestry of these Hancocks as descendants of Robert and Johan (Ligon) Hancock. 257 iv.

Jacques Flournoy and 1033. Judith Puerari. He married 517. Martha Morel 1685 in Geneva, Switzerland. 517. Martha Morel, born 1663 in Geneva, Switzerland; died 1695 in Berlin, Germany. She was the daughter of 1034. Louis Morel and 1035. Maguerite Forel. Notes for Jacob Flournoy: The Flournoy family was a very ancient family of French Hugenots. The Hugenots were a group of Protestants who becae the center of political and religious controversy in France in the 1500s and 1600s. The Huguenots believed the teachings of John Calvin and were members of the Reformed Church.Even most of France was Catholic, the Hugenots were guaranteed religious freedom under the Edict of Nantes in 1598. But finally, in 1685, Louis XIV repealed the Edict of Nantes. Thousands of Huguenots fled France. He became a master goldsmith and in 1691 formed a partnersip with his father-in-law Louis Morel. Between 1693-5 Jacob left Geneva, travelled through Germany and toward London. During this time his wife Martha died, leaving him w/ four children. He married again in London. Soon after his daughter, Jeanne Marie died. He named his daughter by his second marriage Jeanne Marie (it was common to give the name of a deceased c hild to another) - she was born 6 weeks before they sat sail. In June 1700 Jacob, his wife, and family sailed from Gravesend, England on the ship "Ye Peter and Anthony, Galley of London", bound for Jamestown, Va. The list of passengers can be found in DOCUMENTS, CHIEFLY UNPUBLISHED RELATING TO THE HUGUENOT EMIGRATION TO VIRGINIA, by Robert A. Brock. All the passengers were French refugees. Little Jeanne Marie died at sea. The passengers sailed fourteen weeks before landing 9/20/1700. Arrangements had been made for them to settle on the South Side of the James River on a Hugeunot settlement named Manakintowne. Each family was given 133 acres, running in strips down to the James River. Jacob Flournoy was one of the foundres of the Manakintowne Huguenot Settlement. His second wife died in 1701. In 1703 he married for a t hird time, Magdeline Prodhomme . Jacob Flournoy, born January 5 1663 in Geneva, Switzerland, died 1721/1722 in Virginia, married (l; Martha Morel, February 24, 1685, in Geneva. Their first child, Francis, born January 31,1687 in Geneva was the father of Marv Flournoy who married Edward Wooldridge. Their son, Josiah,married ( EJ) Martha "Patsy" Trabue. Jacob Flournoy and Martha Morel had four other children: Jacques, born December14,1688, Geneva; Marie, born June 3, 1690,Geneva; and died young in Berlin; Jeanne-Marie, born January 19, 1693, Geneva; and Jeanne-Francoise, born March 28, 1695 in Berlin. After the death of Martha Morel, Jacob Flournoy married (2) _ in London, and they had a daughter who died on the voyage to America. Jacob, his second wife, and his four surviving children by his first wife, Martha Morel, arrived in America in 1700 aboard the "Peter and Anthony". This ship list of September names Jacob Flournoy, his wife, and four children. Jeanne-Marie Flournoy died soon after their arrival in Virginia, and the December 1, 1700 list of Benjamin de Joux names Jacob Flournoy, his wife and three children. The second wife of Jacob Flournoy died ca 1701 and he married (3) Magdalene Prodhomme Verrueil, December 19 1703, widow cf Moise Verrueil; There was no issue from this marriage. Moise Verrueil was a French merchant at Rouen and Magdalene, his wife, was a Hollander, born at The Hague, ca 1663. Her father was from the canton of Berne, Switzerland, and her grandfather was a minister of Lausanne. They came to Virginia on the "Peter and Anthony" in 1700, and the ship list names Moise Verrueil, his wife and five children. He died ca 1701. Moise Verrueil and Magdalene Prodhomme had a daughter, Magdalene, who was born at The Hague More About Jacob Flournoy: Fact 1: 1679, Came to Virginia Child of Jacob Flournoy and Martha Morel is: 258 i.

Notes for William Baugh: He emigrated to VA by 1638, when his father counted him as a headright in his application for patent. Public records show that he attended a meeting 11Jul1655 at Charles City Co VA. In Aug1678 Orphans' Court records of Henrico Co VA gave an account of cattle belonging to his daus Mary and Priscilla, "orphans of William Baugh, dec".

Notes for William Farrar: Note: William Farrar was a Justice of the Peace in Henrico Co. VA from 1685-1715. He was also Sheriff of Henrico Co. from 1690-1692 and again in 1713. He was Captain of Militia in1698 and a member House of Burgesses 1700-1702. ii. William Baugh, born Abt. 1668. 259 iii. Mary Baugh, born Abt. 1677 in Henrico, Virginia; died 1730 in Henrico, Virginia; married Francis Flournoy 1714 in Henrico, Virginia. 520. James Hill, born 1656 in Virginia; died 1708 in Henrico, Virginia. He was the son of 1040. James Hill and 1041. Elizabeth. He married 521. Anne Clark. 521. Anne Clark, born 1660 in Virginia. She was the daughter of 1042. William Clark. Notes for James Hill: Our earliest known Hill ancestor was James Hill I. He was born about 1655 according to a court deposition and was apparently a prominent Colonial citizen for several court records called him Mr. James Hill. Hill's wife was Ann Clarke [3314.1]. Family Topic of his Wife Most likely, Hill was born in England and paid his own passage to the Colony. Though many individuals named Hill were in early Colonial Virginia, it does not appear James inherited any land. The only time his name appeared as a headright was in 1703 when he and others applied for a patent. Like many Colonial planters, James held indentured servants. In April 1687 Henrico County judged his servant, Richard Fletcher, to be eleven years of age. James exchanged several parcels of land in Henrico County during his lifetime. He bought 100 acres on the south side of the James River from William Chambers on 20 January 1685/6. Five years later, on 1 April 1691, he sold 50 acres at "Curles" where he was living to John Woodson Sr. for £22. Ann relinquished her dower right. On 18 June 1692, James got 252 acres on the north side of Swift Creek at the mouth of Beech Branch from Henry Randolph for £22. Randolph would later reconfirm the deed to Hill's sons. Over a decade later, on 1 April 1703, James bought 100 acres near Lick Buttock Hill from Moses Wood for £5. Charles Roberts and Henry Charles Featherstone [6616.2.2] witnessed this deed. Wood had gotten this land in 1702. According to the deed, Hill had an earlier patent for this land but allowed it to lapse. Yet we can find no such record. On 24 April 1703, not long before his death, James and eight other prominent Henrico County citizens secured a patent for 4,000 acres on Winterpock Creek in Henrico (now Chesterfield) County. Their grant was in consideration of having transported eighty individuals to the colony. The list of headrights they submitted included the name James Hill. Hill's partners in this land venture were Francis Epes, both father and son, Isham Epes, Rev. George Robertson [W.1.6/S], Elizabeth (Worsham) Kennon [W.3], Philip Jones, Martha (Sheppey) Stratton [7046.2.4], then the widow of Edward Stratton [S.1], and George Archer [A.1]. The nine agreed to partition the acreage and draw lots to decide who received which portion. They allocated Hill 440 acres that they later adjusted to 437 acres. By 1704 James was paying quit rents on 845 acres: presumably the 50 acres remaining at "Curles," 252 at Swift Creek, 100 at Lick Buttock Hill, and 437 at Winterpock Creek. That we can identify all his land as land he purchased shows he inherited no land. James Hill composed his will on 14 June 1707 and executed it in the presence of John Willson Jr. [3698.1.2], Robert Sharpe Jr., Nicholas Dyson, and William Pride [3316]. As was customary for the period, he set aside land for his wife, Ann, to live on for the remainder of her life. After making specific bequests to his children he left her all the rest of his personal property. Like most Colonial fathers, James divided the remainder of his land among his four sons, John [1656.1], James II [1656.2], Edward [1656.3], and William Hill [1656.4], and left them some livestock and sundry household items. He recounted in his will 440 acres on Winterpock Creek, land on Swift Creek and Beech Branch, and land at Lick Buttock Hill. To his daughters, Mary [1656.5], Martha [1656.6], Ann [1656.7], and Elizabeth Hill [1656.8], James left livestock and household items. We do not know what became of the daughters. James did not live long after composing his will and died before 1 November 1708 when his executor, widow Ann Hill, presented his will to the Henrico County court. Hill had never taken formal possession of his 440-acre Winterpock Creek land so on that same day the other patentees conveyed 140 acres to William Hill for £15 and 300 acres to James Jr., Edward, and John Hill for £5. On 7 June 1736, William bought out the interests of his brothers, John and James, for £40. The Henrico County Court of October 1724 had previously admitted a deed from Edward Hill to his brother William. This deed was undoubtedly for Edward's portion of the patent for in 1736 William paid tax on the entire 437 acres. On the same day that Henrico County granted Ann Hill probate for her husband, James Hill, they granted Mary (Lound) Batte probate for her father, Henry Lound [3526]. Just more than 171 years later, Hill's great-great-great-great-great grandson Joseph Lynwood Vaughan [12] would marry Lound's great-great- great-great-great-great granddaughter Ida Byrd Hillsman [26.2]. On 24 November 1708, less than a month after delivering her husband's will to the court, widow Ann (Clarke) Hill married William Pride [3316] in Henrico County. Child of James Hill and Anne Clark is: 260 i. James Hill, born 1684 in Henrico, Virginia; died 1750 in Chesterfield, Virginia; married Ann Fowler. 522.

Test: Bowler Cocke, C.C. Child of Godfrey Fowler and Susannah Wilson is: 261 i. Ann Fowler, born Abt. 1712 in Henrico, Virginia; died 1752 in Chesterfield, Virginia; married James Hill. 524. Benjamin Lockett, born 1669 in Henrico, Virginia; died 1729 in Henrico, Virginia. He was the son of 1048. Thomas Lockett and 1049. Magaret Osborne. He married 525. Winifred Pride 1691 in Henrico, Virginia. 525. Winifred Pride, born 1672 in Henrico, Virginia; died 1729 in Henrico, Virginia. She was the daughter of 1050. William Pride and 1051. Jane Halcott. Notes for Benjamin Lockett: Benjamin inherited a large tract of land from his father which was called "Scotland Hills" which joined Piercey to the creek. On the maps for the period there appears a Piersey plantation on the Appomattox just SW of where it joins the James River. He added much land of his own until he owned several thousand acres of Virginia land. He gave a deposition in 1692 in which he stated that he was 23 years old: "Examined and saith: That he saw two of ye shoats [adolescent hogs] suck one of ye sows, but whether they were marked with Jno. Grangers mark or John Womacks he knows not, but he doth believe they are the same sows and shoats of Hen. Walthalls which he hath formerly seen together. In Henrico Records 1725-37, pages 269, 170 and 290 are deeds of gift from Benjamin Lockett to his children, Benjamin Lockett, Jr., Deborah Lockett, Martha Walthall and Jane Haskins. 1 2 3 Notes for Winifred Pride: Winnifred was the daughter of prominent Quaker leader, William Pride. 3 Death: 25 NOV 1729 in Henrico County, Virginia Winifred Pride, the daughter of William Pride I, married Benjamin Lockett Sr. [LO.1] in Henrico County. Some think the Pride's were Quakers and the Lockett's may have been too. This may account for why their marriage was recorded twice in Henrico County: 25 February 1692/3, and again in 1694. On 1 October 1695, Winifred's father conditionally transferred a large tract of land to her. She could keep the land if she had children. Benjamin inherited a property called "Scotland Hills" from his father. In 1704 Benjamin was paying quit rents on 104 acres in Henrico County. In May 1721 he had a patent to 400 acres on Swift Creek. Benjamin was appointed to procession Puckett's Run on 12 January 1723/24 and again in 1727. The Bristol Parish Register recorded the births of two slaves belonging to the family: Sarah on 24 March 1725/6 and Lucy on 12 May 1727. Winifred died 25 November 1729 as recorded in the Bristol Parish Register. Her husband was still living in 1730 when he conveyed some property to his children: " negro girl Hannah" to Benjamin Jr. , " negro girl Lucy," feather bed and furniture, four head of cattle, and a horse and mare to Deborah , " negro girl Sarah" to Martha Walthall , and " negro woman named Tabb" to Jane Haskins. Benjamin was probably dead before 1739 when the churchwardens of Dale Parish bound out Thomas Lesser to Benjamin Lockett, no longer distinguished as " Jr. Child of Benjamin Lockett and Winifred Pride is: 262 i.

Notes for Thomas Mattingly: History of Mattingly Family Name The English surname Mattingly is toponymic in origin, belonging to that group of surnames derived from the place where the original bearer once lived or where he once held land. In this case the surname comes from the village of Mattingley in Heckfield, Hampshire (WSW of London, just NW of Farnborough and S of Reading), and the bearer would therefore have been one who dwelt "at Mattingley". The village takes its name froim the Old English "Matting's leah", meaning "Matting's (or Matthew's) field", and would would have grown up around a field owned by one Matting. The village is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 amongst the lands of the new king, William the Conquerer. The village was held by one Alfsi, son of Brictsi, who took over the lands from Alric who had held them under the previous king, Edward the Confessor. The village had some eleven inhabitants including three smallholders, and there was a mill valued at five shillings and a meadow of four acres. The value of the village was some thirty shillings. The village is recorded under the name Matingelege which accounts for the early spelling of this surname as Matingel. These early records of the surname date back to the thirteenth century when one Stephen de Madingel or de Matingel is noted in the Curia Regis Rolls of Hampshire and of Surrey in 1206. In 1249, in the "Calendar of Inquisition Post Mortem", in the volume for Hampshire we note the name of one Peter de Mattingley. The prefix "de" comes from the Latin meaning "of" and confirms the toponymic nature of the surname. The exact date of arrival in America of the Mattingly family is unknown. So far, searches of passenger lists of all ships coming to the colonies in the early years has not revealed any member of the Mattingly family. The first records of the Mattingly family in America are found in Maryland in 1664. It is possible that they arrived in late 1663 or early 1664. The family contained Thomas, the father, his wife Elizabeth, and their children: two sons, Thomas and Cezar, and two daughters, Judith (who is listed as Judith Turner) and Elizabeth. Thomas died early in 1664 without making a will. His widow, Elizabeth, was given letters of administration and signed an executors bond on July 24, 1664. An inventory of the family's good reveals that they had few possessions. Their livestock was a cow, a calf, and a heifer. They also had a still and most of the rest of the inventory comprised tools, personal clothing and housewares. A local attorney, Walter Pake, who married the widow Elizabeth took care of the legal affairs of the Mattingly family. On 1 August 1665 he entered the rights of the immigrant Mattingly family to 300 acres of land. Having paid their own passage, each member of the family was entitled to 50 acres of land. A certificate was issued in May 1666 for 300 acres of land in Charles County, Maryland to be known as "Mattingly's Hope" and the patent for the tract was issued on 4 September 1666 made out to the two boys of the family, Thomas and Cezar. One can conclude that, since Thomas did not petition for the land due to the family himself, that he died shortly after his arrival. "The inventory indicates that the family did not have much of thi sworld's goods. A cow, a calf, and a heifer make up the livestock possessed . Astill and all belonging to it was another item. Some tools, personal clothing, and houseware made up most of the remainder of the inventory. Meanwhile , the widow, Elizabeth, married one Walter Pake(s), himself a widower. H e isgiven as paying the doctor's fee, and the court costs in a record completin gthe inventory of Thomas Mattingly (see Document II).

Notes for Peter Carrico: Peter had 3 sons, Peter, Abel and ???, 1 daughter, Jane. They were French Huguenots. This is family tradition. The names Abel and Peter appear in MD records early in the 1700's. "The progenitors of the Carrico family in America, according to tradition and such small amount of documentary references as has been found, were Peter of Carrico Hope in Bryantown Hundred, Charles Co., MD and Abel of Charles Co., and also of Fairfax Co. Va. A tradition, stoutly asserted by some Carrico descendants, is that an earlier Peter Carrico, father of Peter and Abel, came to the Colonies under the auspices of the second Lord Baltimore. Without doubt Peter and Abel were brothers, as their marriages in MD were within a few years of each other. Although there has been no written record found, tradition has it that the two brothers had a sister, Jane, who married John Moore, a brother of the English poet Thomas Moore. From whence the Carricos emigrated to the Colonies is shrouded in the mists of the years. Every branch of the family has its tradition as to the original homeland of the family, France, Italy, Spain, England and Scotland have their proponents. Those who favor Scotland has their claim upon a somewhat tortuous evolution of the name from "McFearchar." It is feared that those who claim Spain are guilty of an assumption based upon the Latin sound of the name. Those who assert that France was the home of the family maintain that many of "The Old Folks" spoke French fluently. This group claims that the name was originally "Carriceau" or Carricoits" and that a Nun named Carricoits attained sainthood in France. Those who claim Italy as "The first record found in Maryland shows transportation of one Peter Carrico to Maryland 1657. This Peter, possibly the father of the others, may have obtained a land grant in Charles Co., MD and then returned to France for his family. The second trip was made in their own ship called "La Voyage". It was manned by a group of brothers, among them were a pair of twins Peter & Paul, believed to have been the oldest and a sister Jane. They began a settlement in Charles Co. at Bryantown, MD. Then they decided to return to France to sell all property there, purchase stock and seed and equipment and furnishings, also to bring members of the family who had remained at home in France. Peter had married and begun a family, so he was left behind to take care of the newsettlement. Possibly some of the other brothers left wives and family in charge of Peter. The ship was loaded and they set sail again from a port in France (it is claimed that they lived in France near the Spanish border, maybe port of Bordeau, on the North or Marsailles on the South). They did not make it to Maryland. They were shipwrecked and lost at sea in a storm, or were captured and killed by pirates. Only Peter and his family & possibly a wife & family of one or so of the brothers remained from whom the Carrico family descends in the United States. Peter had two sons Peter and Abel, from whom we can tract most of the Carricos, but a few who we cannot connect, leading to the belief that another brother may have left a wife & children. In France the name may have been Carriceau, or if they lived near Spain, Basques accounting for Spanish spelling Carrico. Tradition also says that a serious riftbetween the brothers Peter & Abel due to religion. They were originallya Catholic family and Peter & most of his descendents at least for the first few generations remained Catholic. Abel married Elizabeth Sims, aHuguenot, and moved with them to Fairfax Co., VA, where his family wasraised Protestant." Children of Peter Carrico are: i. Gerrard Carrico 284 ii.

To sons George ii. Elizabeth Clements, born 1701; married Benjamin Wheeler; born Abt. 1700. Notes for Benjamin Wheeler: The following data is taken from "Time After Time," Vol. 1, No. 5, aninformal historical publication by E. C. Smith, a title searcher fromJarratsville, Maryland. Mr. Smith must have died by early 1999 when Ifound his article on the Internet and wrote him, noting ever so politelysome of his mistakes (e.g., that Catholic David Thomas divorced ElizabethWheeler when he in fact died and left her his widow). I received noresponse. But his story of "The Three Sisters" is a good one which Ihave edited for readability and provide family context. Benjamin Wheeler, a Roman Catholic born in Charles County, Maryland,"took up" 1000 acres of land in about 1685. According to E. C. Smith,Benjamin was the son of John Wheeler, not Thomas Wheeler. In 1704, atthe age of 19, Benjamin married Elizabeth. They lived in Charles Countyfor 7 years and then moved to Prince George's County, Maryland. In 1716,at age 31, Benjamin patented 1000 acres of Northeast Baltimore County andnamed it "Wheeler's and Clark's Conrivance." Two years later he took hiswife and five children from "crowded" Prince George's County to thisproperty in the wilderness of Indians, forts, miles of forrested hills,and few neighbors. Benjamin Wheeler would eventually patent over 4,000 acres in what wouldbecome part of Harford County. The names he gave them were: "Wheeler'sand Clark's Contrivance," "The Three Sisters," "Taylor's Neglect,""Benjamin's Beginning," "Maiden's Meadows," "St. Omer's," and "GreenSprings." Benjamin and Elizabeth lived from 1718 to his death on October21, 1741 at "Wheeler's and Clark's Contrivance." "The Three Sisters" was patented in 1718 about the time of the birth ofBenjamin and Elizabeth's third daughter, Charity (plus, at that time,Jane and Mary). Part of the Upper Node Forest, the farm was locatedbetween the drafts of Deer Creek and Winter's Run. This was a wild,wooded area covering Harford, Baltimore (from which Harford was carved)and Carroll Counties, from the Gunpowder River to "The Barrens" in YorkCounty, Pennsylvania. {Barrens were created out of the great forests bythe Indians who burned the same several hundred acre area each Fall. Newgrowth the following Spring attracted game and made hunting easier. Overthe years, however, the lack of a root system caused the topsoil toerode, and today only stunted trees grow there. The smoke from theseburnings made "hazy" days of Fall which came to be known as "Indiansummer."} The financial successes of Benjamin and Elizabeth Wheeler enabled them toprovide each of their children a house, farm and servants as theymarried. On September 15, 1741, five weeks before his death, Benjamindeeded away all of his land to his eight children in what was perhaps agreat example in the Colonial Era of "How to Avoid Probate." "The ThreeSisters" was divided among the four children who already lived there: 400acres to son Benjamin and 200 acres each to Jane {and Isaac Butterworth};Mary; and Elizabeth {and David Thomas}. From North to South, the landdivided: Mary, Elizabeth Thomas, Jane Butterworth, and BenjaminWheeler. Mary Wheeler was unmarried and living on her 200 acres in 1741 when herfather died. She married William Few 2 years later and they lived on her200 acres for the next 10 years. In 1753 the Fews sold Mary's 200 acresto unrelated parties and moved with their 6 children to North Carolina.Mary died near Hillsboro, North Carolina in 1789. This northernmostsegment of "The Three Sisters" was embroiled in litigation until 1786because subsequent owners, following P. T. Barnum's eventual advice,managed to sell the same land to multiple buyers. Elizabeth Wheeler and her husband, David Thomas, were living on her 200acres when Benjamin Wheeler made his deed in 1741. David is the directancestor of Catherine DuVal Thomas. According to E. C. Smith, DavidThomas was a widower with two children, David and Hannah, when he andElizabeth married in 1732. Thus, Elizabeth may not have been ourancestor although her family provided the "family farm." In 1742 Elizabeth and David purchased half of her sister Jane's 200 acresto the south, giving Elizabeth a total of 300 acres. David died probablyin 1746 (proceedings for his estate are recorded in September of thatyear), leaving four children: David and Hannah, Elizabeth and Mary. ByJuly 2, 1748, Elizabeth Wheeler Thomas is referred to in court recordsfor David's estate as having married Henry Green. They continued to liveon Elizabeth's 300 acres and had two children, Leonard and Ann. In 1768Elizabeth sold her land to her "son" David Thomas. (Could E. C. Smith bewrong about David's prior marriage?) Elizabeth died in 1777, and HenryGreen in 1797. Jane Wheeler and her husband Isaac Butterworth were also living on her200 acres when Benjamin Wheeler deeded it to her in 1741. She and Isaachad married in 1728, and had 6 children. They sold Jane's plantation intwo pieces in 1742: 100 acres to Elizabeth and David Thomas to thenorth, and 100 acres to her brother Benjamin to the south. They thenmoved to "John and Isaac's Lott," land of the Butterworth family not toofar away. Isaac died in 1746 at age 42 (did an epidemic take both Isaacand David Thomas?) Jane remarried to Lawrence Clark and died in 1770 atthe age of 65. "John and Isaac's Lott" was eventually owned by Jane'sson Benjamin Butterworth, a resident of Bedford County, Virginia. Like his sisters, Benjamin Wheeler, the son, was already resident on hispart of "The Three Sisters" when it was deeded to him by his father in1741. He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Clement and then toRebecca Miles Beavan, a widow, and had nine children by them. To his 400acres he added the 100 acres purchased from sister Jane Butterworth andthen added a tract of "escheat" land known as "Frenches Bedford," renamed"Wheeler's Security." Benjamin died in 1769. His widow leased herinterest for 25 pounds sterling a year until 1786 when she sold it to herbrother Charles Beaven. * * * 286 iii. Walter Clements, born Abt. 1705 in Charles Co.

Notes for Alexander Hamilton: According to Lamar Hamilton in his book, "Alexander Hamilton of Spy Park," Alexander Hamilton was a Scot and came to Maryland probabhly from or via Ireland before 1710. This Hamilton family wasfounde by a Scotsman and an Irish Lady-both immigrants- who came to Marland separately, arriving at CharlesTowne in 1700's. After a few years in Prince George Co., Alexander brought "Spy Park" in the Port Tobaccovarea of neighboring Charles County, an area with which the family became closely identified. Here all the children , five sons and one daughter, were reared. The Hamilton family from its beginning was a part of the closely knit Catholic community of Southern Maryland. Arrived in Charles Town, the old county seat of Prince George's County, Md. in the 1700's. After a few years there he bought "Spye Park" in the Port Tobacco area of neighboring Charles Co.

Elizabeth Wheeler, born 1694; died 1714. She was the daughter of 1182. Thomas Wheeler and 1183. Mildred Neale. Notes for Francis Green: This book gives some additional detail about the children and grandchildren of the Governor. Francis Green, the son of Francis and Elizabeth Green and the grandson of the Governor, is shows as born on April 23, 1694 near Port Tobacco. The book goes on to state that he married Elizabeth, daughter of Benjamin Wheeler in 1711, which would make him 17 years of age at his marriage. Elizabeth Wheeler is shown to have been married in 1693, making her older than her children. The aurthor then goes on to explain how he personally examined the family papers in identifying the 13 children of the couple.The children are shown as Leonard born Nov.8, 1712; Elizabeth born Jan. 24, 1713; Francis born Nov. 5, 1716; Anastatia born Sept. 29, 1718; Susanna born May 10, 1722; Anne born Jan. 24, 1724 married Patrick Hamilton; Henry born Feb. 24, 1726; Henrietta born Oct. 13, 1728; Benjamin born Jan. 15, 1730 married Elizabeth Thomas; Ignatius born Jan. 19, 1732; Clement born Apr. 11, 1735 married Hannah Thomas; John Green born Oct. 28, 1737 married Elizabeth Beaven.

[Cotton, Jane Baldwin., Maryland Calendar of Wills: Volume 1, Baltimore, MD: 1904.] *** According to Colonial Settlers, Nicholas married Anne Medley d/o John Medley. I am looking for more information on how this connection was made. What record showed him in "possession" of "Medley" since there was not a record available on its sale? He married first ANNE MEDLEY, the daughter of JOHN MEDLEY, the emigrant, and ELIZABETH THOMPSON. Through this marriage NICHOLAS MILLS was in possession of 300 acres of "Medley" on Medley Neck. ['Colonial Settlers St. Clement's Bay, 1634 - 1780 St. Mary's County, Maryland', by Mary Louise Donnelly.] After the death of his first wife he must have sold this tract and returned to live at the head of St. Clement's Bay. NICHOLAS MILLS had 64 acres of "Minsterdam" and 150 acres of "Pomfreit Field" which he had obtained from his father. ['Colonial Settlers St. Clement's Bay, 1634 - 1780 St. Mary's County, Maryland', by Mary Louise Donnelly.] *** From 1714-1720 he acquires land that is later referenced in his will. He also witnesses James Gant's will along with John Medley. 1714 Mar 1. On 3/1/1714 he obtained 200 acres of "Strife" from WILLIAM MARIA FARTHING.

[Cotton, Jane Baldwin., Maryland Calendar of Wills: Volume 6, Baltimore, MD: 1904.] *** According to Colonial Settlers, Nicholas married second Elizabeth Carberry widow of William Joseph. However, his will had been probated before the Aug 1729 inventory of William Joseph, Esq. so this Nicholas could not have been next of kin . In fact, if his wife was his widow & she still lived, wouldn't she be listed as next of kin or one of her children or grandchildren by the first marriage? Need more information. NICHOLAS MILLS married secondly ELIZABETH CARBERRY JOSEPH, the daughter of JOHN BAPTIST CARBERRY, and the widow of WILLIAM JOSEPH, Esq. ['Colonial Settlers St. Clement's Bay, 1634 - 1780 St. Mary's County, Maryland', by Mary Louise Donnelly.] 1729 Aug 14. NICHOLAS MILLS and JOHN JOSEPH were named next of kin in the inventory of MR. WILLIAM JOSEPH, ESQ. of the Kingdom of Ireland's inventory on 8/14/1729, administered by WILLIAM JOSEPH and valued at 198.00.00 (Inv 15:104). ['Colonial Settlers St. Clement's Bay, 1634 - 1780 St. Mary's County, Maryland', by Mary Louise Donnelly.] WILLIAM JOSEPH, Esq. had returned to Ireland and died there in the early 1700s.

Nicholas Mills, born 1696 in St. Mary's County, Maryland; died 1768 in St. Mary's County, Maryland; married (1) Elizabeth Heard; married (2) Margaret Read. ii.

Inventory of Estate of John MILLS of St. Mary's County, Maryland. Nearest of kin, Nicholas MILLS and Susannah MILLS. Creditors, John MILLMAN and Cornelius MANNING, "Then came Mary MILLS, executrix of John MILLS, and made oath that the inventory was correct to the best of her knowledge and belief." John MILLS was the son of Nicholaus MILLS, who survived his son John only a few months. He left to Grandson John and heirs his dwelling plantation, to revert in case of their death without issue to sister Mary. To his daughter-in-law Mary (MANNING) MILLS, use of the dwelling plantation where she lived during widowhood. Her widowhood lasted only a short time as we find that in 1729 she was the wife of Enoch Combs, and as she was the possessor of 300 acres of Park Hall by will of her father, when she married John MILLS she evidently held possession of that property, for in Debt Books of St. Mary's Co. 1766, Enoch Combs' heirs are assessed for 300 acres of Park Hall. 602. John Heard, born Abt. 1642 in England; died 1696 in St. Mary's County, Maryland. He was the son of 1204. William Heard and 1205. Bridget Hawkins. He married 603. Susanna Hudson. 603.

Mary Heard, born Abt. 1670; died Abt. 1720; married (1) James Dant; born Abt. 1660; married (2) Robert Ford, Jr.; born 1664; died 1735. Notes for James Dant: There are Dants and Fenwicks in Northumberland, England, today, but we're not sure whether we are originally from Northumberland, just south of Scotland, or from the city of Dee, in Yorkshire. According to family lore, the first Dant came over with Lord Baltimore on the Ark or the Dove in 1635 and was among the first Marylanders. We don't know if that is strictly true, as the first mention we can find of a Dant is one William Dant, who patented a plantation named "Hopewell" in 1659. (We believe this is the same "Hopewell" conveyed to John Baptist Dant by John Dant's will of 1763.) We also discovered that in 1669 John Pile laid claim to 700 acres for having transported 13 people to the Maryland colony, one of whom was Thomas Dant(e). In 1680, Thomas Coverdale, another of the 13, claimed his 50 acres for working out his indentured servitude, and conveyed it to Thomas Dant. On 28 September, 1680, Thomas Dant patented 100 acres as "Peterborough". This plantation later shows up in the possession of Peter Mills. 301 v.

Notes for Thomas Spalding: From THOMAS JENKINS OF MARYLAND 1670 by Edward Felix Jenkins, O.S .A, at page 5 we find "Ann Jenkins married William Spalding, born 1678; d ied 1740; a son of Thomas and Katherine Spalding, also of Charles County." At page 317, "SPALDING - The name of Spalding appears in Englis hhistory as early as the reign of King Ethelbald (A.D. 716-757). In a royal charter which established the monastery of Crowland (Croyland) in Lincolnshir e,the monastery lands are described as extending in one direction "usque a daedificio Spalding". According to the 14th edition of the Encyclopedia Britann ica, there are no traces of a settlement called Spaulding in Lincolnshir euntil late Saxon times. It seems likely, however, that the present-day tow n of Spalding was preceded by a Saxon village of that name which was in ex ist- ence prior to the establishment of the Prior of Spalding in 1051 by Thorold the Sheriff. In Domesday Book, compiled in 1086, the village or manor Spalding is listed as belonging to one Ivo de Taillebois. "As a partonymic, the name of Spalding has been in use since the 1 3th century or earlier, as is evidenced by a sale of land in the year 126 7 to John de Spalding, a burgess of Lenn (modern day King's Lynn) in Norfo lk- shire. Thereafter, the name of Spalding is encountered repeatedly i nNOr- folkshire, Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Scotland. It is not clear, howe ver, whether all these Spaldings were descended from the same person. Th eScot- tish Spaldings, in particular, may have had their ancestral roots in a place other than Lincolnshire. THOMAS SPALDING was born in Fornham All Saints Parish, County SUFFOLK, ENGLAND, around 1640. He came to Maryland about 1657/1658 as a young man seventeen/eighteen old. He was TRANSPORTED INTO THE COLONY by his cousin: JOHN SHERCLIFFE. There is no record of any person by the name of Spalding in Maryland prior to June 21, 1659. On that date, JOHN SHERCLIFFE demanded one hundred acres of land for having brought THOMAS SPALDING into the province. Thomas Spalding was the FOUNDER of the Maryland Spalding family in St. Mary's County. JOHN SHERCLIFFE of St. Mary's Co made his will on December 2, 1661. Among bequests, he left 50 acres of land to his "COUSIN," Thomas Spalding. It can be surmised a close relationship existed between Thomas and John because Thomas continued to reside with the widow, ANN SHERCLIFFE, after the death of her husband. ST. GILES was surveyed by Thomas Spalding on March 22, 1667 for 116 acres. He married CATHERINE HALL before July 27, 1674, because Catherine proved on that date her right to 50 acres of land for "service" under Lt. Col. JOHN JARBOE. Thomas & Catherine were married c1673. We know her name was Hall because on Jan 14, 1668, Jarboe had her age judged in the provincial Court as follows: "The age of Catherine Hall, servant to Lt. Col. John Jarboe, was judged that she serve the said Jarboe or his assigns until she arrive at age 22 years." [Md. Archive No. 57, p. 232. Prov. Court Proceedings, 1667-1668] Thomas & Catherine prospered in their NEW HOME. Thomas had already obtained 250 acres of land before he received 50 a. awarded to Catherine. In addition to 116 a. called "ST. GILES," Thomas acquired 109 additional acres called "WILLIAM'S HERMITAGE" in 1688. There is no record of the DEATH of Thomas and Catherine. Thomas WITNESSED the WILL of JOHN DAVIS Feb 2, 1690. On July 28, 1698, he appeared in court to prove the will of Davis. In March, 1710, he sold 42 a. of "SPALDING ADDITION" to his son, WILLIAM SPALDING. NO WIFE signed the deed, so Catherine must have died before 1710. This is the LAST RECORD of Thomas Spalding. He probably DIED c1713. Since he died INTESTATE (without a will), his five sons are named through court proceedings: JOHN, WILLIAM, THOMAS Jr., *PETER, and EDWARD. Thomas Spalding was transported into the Province of Maryland in 1657 by John Shircliffe. He served his period of indenture ship under John Shircliffe and Ann, Shircliffe's widow. Thomas Spalding and Katherine Hall each demanded 50 acres of land for satisfactory completion of service for transportation. Thomas subsequently patented tracts of land called St. Giles, Spalding's Addition, and William's Hermitage. Thomas Spalding died intestate. Notes for Catherine Hall: The following note was located in a genealogy file in the Family History Library, Salt Lake (FHL 985191): 27 July, 1674 Came Katherine the wife of Thomas Spalding and proved her Right t ofifty acres of Land for her time of Service performed in this Province to Lieut. Colonel John Jarbo Warrant then Granted unto Thomas Spalding of St. Maries County for fifty acres of land it being due to him for Katherine his wifes time of Service performed in this province. Coct.ut(?) the 27th day of October next 10th Land Record, 1674, St. Maries County, Liber 18, Folio 101, Land Offic e, Annapolis, MD. An additional note in FHL 985186 indicates that "Catherine --- Emigrated with the John Jarboe family from Dijon France. Her Uncle was John Shercliffe." Children of Thomas Spalding and Catherine Hall are: i. John Spalding, born Abt. 1675; died 1726; married Mary Elizabeth Field; died 1720. Notes for John Spalding: "John Spalding, we feel quite sure, was the oldest son of Thomas a nd Catherine. He was probably named for John Shercliffe, his father's b ene- factor. There is no record of his birth date but it is estimated t o have been in 1675 or 1676. "On December 4, 1712, he and his brother Thomas bought "The Tavern" containing one hundred acres of land, and on December 10, 1714, he an dhis brother William bought 165 acres of land which they named "Two Brothe rs." "John's first wife was a daughter of Edward Field, of St. Mary's County, Maryland. She died before 1720, for during that year John married Pr is- cilla Smith, widow of William Smith of Charles County. The will of h is first wife's father Edward Field was proven at Leonardtown, Maryland , on November 14, 1724, and by the provisions of that will he left his for mer son-in-law John Spalding one schilling. "After John and Priscilla were married, they moved to Charles Coun ty, Maryland. John died there in June of 1726. His will was writted on January 18, 1724, and probated in Charles County on September 14, 172 6. He left five children: John, William, Basil, Mary and Charles, and it appears from the wording of the will that the four oldest children we re by his first wife, and that the fifth child was by his second wife. H is brother William was one of the witnesses to the will. John provide d for his wife Priscilla by leaving her the dwelling plantation known as "L one Manor" for life and, at her death, to the youngest son Charles. He m ade provision for his other four children and willed jointly to his sons William and Basil two plantations in St. Mary's County known as "Two Brothers" and "St. Giles." The place known as "St. Giles" he had inh er- ited from his father Thomas. He also willed to these two sons two hu n- dred acres of "Green's Inheritance" near Port Tobacco, and a tract on "Beaver Dam Manor." "John's brother William was the grandfather of Benedict (Joseph) Spalding and his son Basil was the grandfather of Mother Catherine Spalding. "John prospered and did well and adhered to his faith in spite o f the anti-Catholic laws which were in effect during his lifetime which pre- vented him and others of that faith from voting or holding any office, from belonging to any profession, and other penalties designed to com pel all of the inhabitants of the Colony of Maryland to become members of the established church."

Notes for Thomas Spalding, Jr: Thomas Spalding, Jr., and his brother, John, bought 100 acres of land in St. Mary's County on 4 December 1712. He also bought 400 acres of land called St. Thomas on 1 March 1719 and 100 acres of land called Little St. Thomas on 24 March 1720. Thomas was recorded in the Debit Books of St. Mary's County with 200 acres of St. Thomas from 1753 to 1767 336 v.

Notes for Thomas Jenkins: "All of the branches of our Jenkins family are descended from a youngman named Thomas Jenkins, who came to Maryland with his wife Ann, in1669or 1670. This is well established by the following Land Grant on recordat Annapolis: November 15, 1670, came Thomas Jenkins, of Charles County, Maryland, and proved his rights to 100 acres of land for transporting himself and wife Ann into the Province, to in- habit, A.D. 1670. Thomas Jenkins immigrated to Maryland in or before 1670 and settled in Charles County, Maryland, where he d. 1727, m. 1669, it is said, at St. Mary's, by Father ALTHAM, Ann SPAULDING, gd. dau. of Edward and Margaret SPAULDING, who came to St. Mary's County, circa 1634, from Jamestown, Virginia; his wife Ann, who joins him in a deed December, 1670, survived him and d. in 1729. "Thomas and Ann Jenkins lived in Charles County for nearly sixty years. Their children married into the leading Catholic families of theprovince and had many children of their own, who also married Catholicsand reared Catholic families. I. Edward, of Charles County; 6. 1671; d. 1760; m. Mary COLE, dau. of Edward COLE. II. GEORGE, b. 1675; d. 1727, of whom later. III. William, b. 1683; d. 1755; m. Mary CoURTNEY.

John NORRIS GEORGE JENKINS, of Prince George County, Maryland; b. 1675; d. 1727; m. Susanna COLE, dau. of Edward COLE. " The unsung heroes are the plain people. And so it was with theCatholics of St. Mary's County, mostly farmers whose roots in Americareached back to almost the beginning of their state. Such immigrantancestors as John Cissell, Cuthbert Fenwick, Richard Gardiner, John Greenwell, Fra ncis Hayden, Thomas Howard, John Jarboe, Thomas Jenkins,Thomas Mattingly , John Medley, Peter Mills, Thomas Spalding, and RobertThompson were all there before the "Glorious Revolution" brought an endto the Catholic phase of the Colony. Each of them produced a mighty progeny. A sampling of other catholic names that would constitute St.Mary's legacy to the country at large would include Aud, Bowles, Brewer,Clark, Knott, Moore, Newton, Norris, Payne, Raley, Shercliffe, Wheatley,Wimsatt, and Yeates." "The Jenkins family, like the Brooke, Hatton, Neale, Tawney (Taney),Hill , Mitchell, Edelen, Clarke, Matthews, Boarman, and other prominentfamilies arriving in the Maryland Colony about 1650 and shortlythereafter, were adherents of Charles I, who was beheaded in 1649. Manyfled England, leaving their wealth, but were quickly accepted into theearly Colonial society through marriage and/or recognition of theirEnglish social standing. Some, like the Brooke, Neale, Boarman, andHatton families managed to bring a substantial part of their wealth.Thomas Jenkins, the Maryland Progenitor, first arrived inMaryland in1658, as an indentured servant. He apparently served his time as aMariner of some sort, for he left and entered the colony a number oftimes during which time, he met up with Ann Spaulding of Virginia. Hergrandparents, Edward and Margaret Spaulding had moved from thatCommonwealth into the Maryland Colony in 1642, evidently leaving some oftheir children in Virginia. In 1670, Thomas Jenkins migrated with hiswife, Ann Spaulding, from Virginia and settled along Popes Creek inCharles County. By 1680, he was in possession of Poplar Point which hadmany additions before his death in 1727." Notes for Ann Spalding: "Edward Spalding and his wife, Margaret, and two children, and Edm und Spalding, who may have been a brother, were living in Elizabethtown , VA, in February, 1623 (reportedly taken from a census record). They are believed to have come from England in 1619. About 1642, Edward and Margaret Spalding and two children, then grown, went up to Massachuse tts where they became the ancestors of the very numerous Protestant Spald ing family of New England. According to our family tradition, Thomas' wi fe, Ann Spalding, was a granddaughter of this Edward, by a son left behind in Virginia. This may not be true, but there is nothing improbable about it. My experience with family traditions is that they always contain some truth and are generally more right than wrong." But see the following reference to the above conclusions as state d in THE SPALDING FAMILY OF MARYLAND, KENTUCKY AND GEORGIA by Hughes Spald ing, FHL 929.273 Sp18sg at page 1: "Edward Spalding and his wife and two children are the first Spald ings of whom there is any record, who came to America. They were residin g in Elizabeth City, Virginia, in 1623. They left Virginia and settled in New England, and became founders of the New England family of that name. !NOTES: Ann Jenkins (1678-1740) was the second child of Thomas and Ann (Spalding) Jenkins. For quotes from the book on Thomas Jenkins referenced belo w as to Ann's mother, Ann Spalding, being a grand daughter of Edward Spald ingand his wife Margaret, see the notes for Ann Spalding Jenkins (98). Ann's last will is found in Records of St. Mary's County, LIber TA #1, folio 418 and is summarized as follows: I Ann Spalding, widow of St. Mary's County, sickly etc To son Thomas, 5 shillings and no more To dau Mary Seal, bed and furniture, cow and claf, all sheep, on echest To son Henry, 5 shillings and no more To granddaughter Elizabeth Radford, one heifer, one chest To several children of my daughter Ann Joseph, deceased, one shill ingeach To son John Baptist, large looking glass To three sons William, Benedict, and John Baptist, rest of estate.

Had 5 sons. {John, James, Hudson, Henry} and IGNATIUS (1679-1757) who had 6 sons: Wearing (c1700-), HENRY (c1719-1762), William (1720-1784), LEONARD (1740-1782), Ignatius (1735- 1804), and John Baptist (1740-1810). John Sr. arrived on the ship, Francis and Mary, which sailed from Bristol on 10 Sept. 1670. He was indentured to Hugh Thomas for three years. His wife's name was Susannah, traditionally Susanna Hudson, dau. of Henry and Ann (Hill) Hudson of Va. Since he paid passage for Susannah Brayne in 1676 I feel that she was his first wife, mother of his first four children, and then he married Susannah Hudson ca. 1690. There is a 10 year gap between his first four children and his last four(whose names were Henry, Hudson, Judea and Jane) WILL: Abstract of John's will dated Feb 28, 1704 and probated Jul 4, 1705: Wills A.2 f. 255, hall of Records of Maryland, Annapolis, Maryland.

BIRTH: Wathen Anthology, pg 13: "John sailed from Bristol on the 'Francis and Mary' Sept 10, 1670, bound (indentured) to Hugh Thomas for three years.

Notes for James Dant: There are Dants and Fenwicks in Northumberland, England, today, but we're not sure whether we are originally from Northumberland, just south of Scotland, or from the city of Dee, in Yorkshire. According to family lore, the first Dant came over with Lord Baltimore on the Ark or the Dove in 1635 and was among the first Marylanders. We don't know if that is strictly true, as the first mention we can find of a Dant is one William Dant, who patented a plantation named "Hopewell" in 1659. (We believe this is the same "Hopewell" conveyed to John Baptist Dant by John Dant's will of 1763.) We also discovered that in 1669 John Pile laid claim to 700 acres for having transported 13 people to the Maryland colony, one of whom was Thomas Dant(e). In 1680, Thomas Coverdale, another of the 13, claimed his 50 acres for working out his indentured servitude, and conveyed it to Thomas Dant. On 28 September, 1680, Thomas Dant patented 100 acres as "Peterborough". This plantation later shows up in the possession of Peter Mills. Children of James Dant and Mary Tattershall are: 366 i. John Dant, born 1699 in St. Mary's County, Maryland; died 1763 in St. Mary's County, Maryland; married Eleanor Mills 1735. ii. Ann Dant, born 1710; married George Medley; born 1704. 734. Peter X.

Margaret Dant 1694 in St. Mary's County, Maryland. 735. Margaret Dant, born Abt. 1676 in St. Marys County, Maryland. She was the daughter of 1470. Thomas Dant and 1471. Rebecca Wilkinson. Children of Peter Mills and Margaret Dant are: i. John Mills, born 1710. 367 ii. Eleanor Mills, born 1715; died 1763; married (1) Francis Nevitt; married (2) John Dant 1735. 740.

Notes for Richard Coombes: More About RICHARD COOMES I: Occupation: Planter Property: Christian Temple Manor, Charles County, MD RICHARD1 COOMES I was born 1653 in Stratford, Warwick, England, and died 1752 in Charles County Maryland. He married ANNE SHERCLIFFE, daughter of WILLIAM SHERCLIFFE and MILDRED WHEELER. She was born 1655. Notes for RICHARD COOMES I: The name Coomes originated in Wales. Coomes is Welsh for little valley. The Coomes crest bears the legend: HE WHO STRIVES WILL CONQUER. They fought with William the Conqueror and were awarded lands in England. The Coomes families in England were in Old Stratford, Warrick County. Coomes Abbey still stands and is still inhabited by persons of the same name. The first Coomes to come to Maryland were Catholic. In England, at this time, they could not hold office. Cecil Calver, Lord of Baltimore, to settle the new land, recruited them. Cecil had married the daughter of the Earl of Arundel, a powerful Catholic. Cecil stayed in England to protect the interest of the new colony. His brother, Leonard, was put in charge of the 200 colonists. The colonists were to sail on the Ark and her sister ship, the Dove. As Catholics, the colonists could not take the oath of supremacy and this was a requirement by the Crown of all colonists leaving England. Therefore, in order not to embarrass Lord Baltimore, they waited on the Isle of Wight, and boarded there when the ships cleared London harbor. Several of the Coomes colonists settled in Maryland when the ships arrived in 1634. Richard Coomes was one of these colonists. Edward Cooke transported Richard to the colonies in 1676. He settled in Charles County, Maryland, on a plantation he acquired called Christian Temple Manor, located on the Mattawoman Creek, and was involved in several business transactions in this area of the state. In a chancery proceeding concerning his property, Richard Coombes gave his age as 74, on June 24, 1727. It is not uncommon when discussing the history of this family to identify roots in Charles County, Maryland. It is indeed unfortunate that many of Maryland's records have been destroyed; however, pages 89 & 70 of Maria Louisa Kelley's and Inez Bateman Cherault's Hamilton Family of Charles County Maryland provides important data on our Coomes roots. Note the frequency at which names common in Kentucky reappear in this early Coomes history: "The seat of the Coombs family in England was in old Stratford, Warrick County. Coombs Abbey still remains and is inhabited by some of the family of that name." The will of John A. Coombs was probated (there) January 28, 1812. In this will he leaves five pounds to his friend, William Shakespeare, and mentions his ancient acquaintance and trusted friend, Mr. John Washington. Descendants of this family came to America very early. "Enoch Coombs and wife, Barbary, with son Enoch, settled in Maryland, 1684, as shown in Early Settlers, Liber 7, pg 551. The family was numerous in both Saint Mary's and Charles Counties, Maryland, and intermarried with the best colonial families. "Richard Coombs I @settled in Charles County, Maryland, in 1676. Ed.

John Hanson, born 1652; died 1734. He was the son of 1508. John Hanson and 1509. Mary Morgan. He married 755. Elizabeth Hussey. 755. Elizabeth Hussey, born 1667; died 1747. She was the daughter of 1510. Thomas Hussey and 1511. Joan Porter. Notes for Elizabeth Hussey: Marcelle D. Hoskins's "Samuel Luckett of Maryland: Some of His Descendants" (1990), which is lifted largely from "The Lucketts of Portobacco" by Harry W. Newman (Washington, 1938), contains the following: "Elizabeth Hussey was the daughter of Thomas Hussey, Gent., and his wife, Johanna, who were of the Roman Catholic faith. The 'Gent.' indicated that he was descended from English gentry. Documents bearing his signature indicate that he was educated in letters, an accomplishment not too common among early settlers. The date of his birth is not known nor is the date of his death; however, his will was proved/probated 14 October 1700. In the will he granted to his youngest grandson and name sake, Thomas Hussey Luckett, the son of Elizabeth and Samuel Luckett, 1130 acres of land at Chicamuxen, Durham Parish, Charles County, Maryland. It seems that they had only two daughters: Elizabeth and Anne Hussey who was married to William Landworth. Thoas Hussey Luckett was the only son of Samuel and Elizabeth who was reared in the Roman Catholic faith, according to Mr. Newman." ...[Following Samuel's death], Elizabeth lost little time acquiring a third husband, and by 6 November 1705, she had married John Hanson. On that date, John Hanson and Elizabeth, and Samuel Luckett, her son, 'executors of Samuel Luckett, deceased...' rendered an account to the Perogative Court of Charles County. 'At the fall session of the County Court the Grand Jury with John Beale as foreman, indicted Nicholas Gulick, a Romanist priest, for "marrying John Hanson and the widow Luckett contrary to law." Likewise, John Hanson and Elizabeth, his wife, were indicted "for being & Suffering the ___ to marry."' There are no known descendants of Elizabeth Hussey and John Gardiner who was a staunch Roman Catholic; Samuel Luckett, her second husband subscribed to the Church of England; and the third, John Hanson, was also of the Church of England [?]. There were four children from this third marriage and all four of these children were reared within the Catholic Church." _______ These were difficult religious times dating back over 150 years to the reign of Henry VIII. Though the above commentaries make no mention or speculation of Elizabeth's true faith, it seems likely she was a closet Catholic. Her parents were Catholic, her first husband was Catholic, she was married to her third husband by a Catholic priest, and she reared the children from her first husband as Catholics. The only period she appears to follow the Church of England is during her marriage to Samuel Luckett.

Notes for Thomas Hagan: Background- from "Clans and Families of Ireland," by John Grenham, [formerly a professional genealogist attached to the Genealogical Office and now a project manager with the Irish Genealogical Project ]: p. 168: O'HAGAN along with O'DOHERTY, O'DONNEL and others, is derived from the Ui Neill, the powerful tribal grouping claiming descem from Naill of the Nine Hostages, the fifth c. monarch supposedly responsible for kidnapping St. Patrick to Ireland. Within the Ui Neill the two principal subgroups were the "Cineal Eoghain" and the "Gineat Conalll," claiming descem from two of the sons of Niall, Eoghan and Conall resp. The O'NEILLS were the leading family of the "Cineal Eoghain," ruling the anciem territory of "Tir Eoghaln," comprising not only the modern Co. Tyrone, but also large parts of Derry and Donegal .... Thomas HAGAN emigrated to Maryland. He arrived in the late summer of 1662 as a servam of John MEEKES. ( Was Meekes Irish or English? It may be important for searching the port of departure of the two who migrated to America. Then also they may have come by way of Barbados. ) Information is from Bro. thos. W Spalding, CFX Thomas' surname was also spelled Hagoe, Hogan and Howgan. However, Thomas' descendants consistently spelled the name Hagan. The family records were recorded at the Episcopal Church in Prince George Co, MD. Thomas' date is birth is based on his giving his age in a deposition of 1715 as "Seventy odd Yeares" (Patents 3:235). Thomas came to Maryland before Aug 12, 1662 as the servant to John Meekes. He may have come by way of Barbadoes. On Aug 12, 1662 John Meekes tried to get Thomas' indenture extended, but the court turned him down and Thomas became a free man. Thomas didn't claim the 50 acres due him at the end of his indenture until 1670. On June 9, 1670 Thomas demanded 50 acres for his time of service (patents 12:594) and he had Newcastle surveyed for him. On Aug 8, 1672 a tract of 150 acres called "Correct Measure" (also Cadock Measure) was surveyed for him in the same hundred (Rent Rolls). He soon moved back to Charles Co, where in 1678 a tract called "St James" was surveyed for him. Originally 200 acres, it was resurveyed in 1714 for 317 acres (Rent Rolls). In 1695 "Good Intent" (650 acres) was also surveyed for him and in 1708 a tract called "Clare" was resurveyed for 234 acres and patented to him in 1710 (Rent Rolls). He also bought land called "Content" and "Lanternam" from Major Wm. Boarman. Thomas wrote his will March 29, 1714 in Charles Co, MD, probated February 21, 1715/16. He named his children in his will. Inventory of Thomas' estate was taken by John Dent and Wm Boarman on March 10, 1715/16 and showed a personal estate worth 173 pounds, 16 shillings and 9 pence and included 3 slaves, 24 head of cattle, 36 hogs and 3 horses. Thomas named his children in his will. To his wife, Mary, he left the tract on which he lived, "St James," and two parcels of land purchased from Major Boarman, which was to go to his son, William, at her decease. To his son James he left 350 acres of "Good Intent," to his son Ignatius he left 200 acres of "Good Intent" and 65 acres acquired from Major Boarman and confirmed in the latter's will. To his son Thomas he left all of "Clare" adjoining "Good Intent." To his daughter Mary Baggott, he left 100 acres of Good Intent. To sons Thomas and Ignatius he also left "Correct Measure" in St Mary's Co, at the head of Nevitt's Creek. To his daughters Sarah Edelen, charity Green, Ann Smith and Elizabeth Clarkson, he bequeathed a token ten shillings each, indicating he had already provided for them. All of his personal estate he bequeathed to his wife, Mary, and to his son William at her decease. Thomas was still living in the fall of 1715 when he submitted a deposition concerning the boundaries of "Lanternam" which adjoined the property of Richard Edelen. Children of Thomas Hagan and Mary Aisquith are: i. James Hagan68, born 167069; died 174969; married Elizabeth Langworth. ii. Mary Hagan70, born 167271; married John Baggott 169571. iii. Sarah Hagan, born 1673; married Richard Edelen; born 1671 in St. Mary's County, Maryland; died 1760 in Charles County, Maryland. Notes for Richard Edelen: Notes for RICHARD EDELEN: . Richard Edelen (1671-1760) was the oldest surviving son of Richard and Elizabeth (Banton) Edelen, the immigrants. Rather than become a planter, as did his brothers, he pursued the occupation of "carpenter", which in that day meant architect, contractor, and builder. Most likely he prospered in this endeavor, as evidenced by his numerous land transactions recorded in Maryland deed records. According to reference, at least two examples of his craftsmanship still exist: "St. Richard's Manor" near present-day Pateuxant River Naval Air Station is reported to have been built by Richard Edelen for Luke Gardiner in the late 1600s or early 1700s. "Riverview", which overlooks the Potomac near St. Clements Island, is believed to be another example of his work. Henry W. Newman lists numerous land transactions conducted by Richard Edelen in Charles, Prince George's, and St. Mary's Counties in his book Charles County Gentry. At least eighteen transactions are recorded in deeds between 1687 and 1760. In the year 1753 he paid quit rents (rent paid by freeman for the use of land as required by feudal custom) on a total of 1,630 acres in the three counties. The following is a summary of land holdings for which an approximate location has been determined. In 1714, he purchased from Luke and Anne Gardiner of Prince George's County, "Frankland" adjoining "Dublin", just north of the town of Piscataway and straddling the Tinkers Creek. Other purchases in Prince George's County near Piscataway were "Friendship" in 1687 and "Irving" in 1714, lying about 5 and 8 miles north of Piscataway respectively (near present-day Andrews Air Force Base). In 1718, he purchased from John Baptist Boarman of Charles County, the 635-acre property known as "Lanterman", lying on the north side of the run into Zakiah Swamp (named for the Zachia Indian tribe that lived in the area). Today the southern portion of Zekiah Swamp is a protected natural environment area. Richard Edelen is believed to have had three wives. The first was Anna Maria Neale, daughter of Raphael Neale. It is believed that they had two children: Elizabeth Edelen married John Baptist Boarman Joseph Edelen The second was Sarah Hagan, daughter of Thomas and Mary Hagan of Charles County. Sarah and Richard were married in 1694 in Charles County, and since she lived at least until 1727, is believed to be the mother of most of his children. His third wife, and widow, was Anne Gardiner (c. 1689-1765), daughter of Ignatius and Sophia Craycroft, and widow of Luke Gardiner mentioned above. Eight children of Richard Edelen have been verified: Richard Edelen married Margaret Neale, daughter of Lord Neale of Woolaston Manor Mary Edelen married Benjamin Neale (Son of Lord Neale of Woolaston Manor?) Philip Edelen married Jane Gardiner* Edward Edelen married Susannah Wathen Thomas Edelen married Mary Blandford Winifred Edelen married William Boarman _____ Edelen married Bennett Neale Jane Edelen married Thomas James Boarman *they were step-brother & sister since Jane was the daughter of Anne Gardiner, Richard Edelen's third wife. In 1760, the son Philip Edelen was deeded the 635 acre plantation "Lanterman" in Charles County , on which he resided. Richard Edelen died shortly thereafter. His will provided for his widow Anne their dwelling plantation "Assington" lying on the east side of Zekiah Swamp and located in the vicinity of the "Great Beaver Dam". Several of his children and grandchildren were provided with land in St. Mary's, Charles, and Prince George's Counties. A tantalizing portion of the will of Richard Edelen reads as follows: "To Rev. George Hunter and his successors, in function or office, one acre of land part of a tract called St. Thomas near Newport in Charles Co., it being our family burying place and whereon our chapel now stands." No doubt Richard Edelen conducted many of his business and civic affairs at Port Tobacco, which was the location of the Charles County Courthouse. This was a thriving market center in colonial America, located up a navigable tributary to the Potomac River. Tobacco was shipped from here in exchange for slaves and European goods. The town declined significantly after the American Revolution as tobacco prices fell and soil quality declined. The War of 1812 ravished southern Maryland, and Port Tobacco never recovered from the loss of trade. Today, the sleepy town square has been restored and is a historical landmark.

As a surname, Clark and Clarke appears frequently, from LeClere; and medieval bearers of the name were very proud of it. The name of Clark, in its various forms, is one of great antiquity, having probably been used in Great Britain as early as the eleventh century. Since the name implied literacy, its use as a name was eagerly coveted; hence it frequent use. Many people added "le clerk's to their names. The "let' was finally dropped, and only Clerk was left or, as it was pronounced, Clark. The final "e" is an addition in later times. In the fifty years following the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth and the English in Virginia, many persons of the name of Clark left England for the New World.

Notes for William Coombes: Notes for WILLIAM COOMES: The William Coomes family left Maryland, moving to Virginia. When hearing of the fertile ground in "Kain-tuck-ee", the Indian name for Kentucky (meaning beautiful ground), the Coomes family joined the pioneers, led by James Harrod, in the early 1770s. They used flatboats and poled them down the mighty Ohio. After journeying down the Ohio for several weeks, the party made their first permanent camp at a place called Drilling's Lick. It was located on the Kentucky River, near the present day site of Frankfort, Kentucky. While the men were busy with hunting and trapping, Frances Jane Coomes began to manufacture salt. This was the first and earliest manufacturing of salt in the state. After a short stay at Drilling's Lick, the pioneers pushed further into the wilderness. They settled at a place called Harrod's Station, later called Fort Harrod. The men hunted and trapped and cleared land to grow crops. Frances Jane Coomes spent much of her time teaching the children how to read, write, and cipher. Oct 28, 1779: William Coomes this day claimed the right to a settlement & Preemption to a Tract of Land lying on the waters of Beach Fork of Salt River, known by the name of Cave Spring, by residing in this country FOR TWELVE MONTHS, before the year 1778, satisfactory proof being made to the Court they are of Opinion that the said Combs has a right to a settlement for 400 acres of Land including said Spring & a Preemption of 1000 Acres Adjoining & that a certificate issue for the same accordingly (certificate book of the Virginia Land Commission, 1779-1780) During the War of Independence there were three companies of volunteers from what at that time was known as Kentucky County, Virginia. Captain John Holder's company was organized in either 1799/1780, at Ruddells' and Martin's Station, near the present day site of Cynthiana, Kentucky. William Coomes was a sergeant in Captain Holder's company. His official title was "Sergeant of the Continental Line". After the war William Coomes and family settled in Bardstown on a one thousand-acre farm two miles northeast of the town. They wanted to be near people of their own faith - Catholic; and, there was a large cave on the farm for protection from Indians. William Coomes presented 105 acres to Father Badin for a new Church. More About WILLIAM COOMES: Burial: Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky Religion: Catholic Notes for Frances Jane Greenleaf: Notes for FRANCES JANE GREENLEAF: Frances Jane Greenleaf Coomes manufactured the first salt in Kentucky. She did so at Drilling's Lick, the first stop of the pioneer group moving deeper into Kentucky. The group reached Fort Harrod on September 8, 1775. Frances Jane was the first schoolteacher in Kentucky. Her little schoolhouse was built of customary round logs with no chinking between them. It had a dirt floor; a slab door hung on deer thongs, and only one window. {The following statement is of particular interest: "with low pay, often in tobacco - which was legal tender- bear bacon, buffalo steak or jerked venison, these pioneers eked out a precarious existence.} There was a long fireplace on one wall, a dunce stool in the corner, and a chastizing rod nearby. The alphabet was inscribed on paddle shaped pine shingles (which also came in handy when a child needed punishment). Dillard's Speller and the New Testament were the only textbooks. It was a blab school, where all studied aloud. The Coomes school was kept open, despite the hardships and irregularities of pioneer life, for three to four months each year. Frances Jane and her family remained in the fort for nine years, during which time, William Coomes took an honorable part in the defense of the station through the siege of 1776-1777. He cleared land and helped with the provisioning of the fort. One of the Comma's sons was in the famous battle of Blue Licks. William Coomes was registered in the records as the owner of one thousand acres of land. Part of this acreage is the present site of Wickland, Kentucky - home to three governors. In 1784 the family moved to Nelson County, Kentucky, and Francis and William Coomes are buried in Bardstown, Kentucky.

Notes for Christopher Edelen: Notes for CHRISTOPHER EDELEN: Christopher Edelen inherited from his parents a portion of the estate "Dublin" just north of the town of Piscataway and made it his dwelling plantation. This is the same tract of land as was inhabited by his brother Edward Edelen and his family, so they must have been neighbors. In 1707 he married Jane Jones, a daughter of Moses and Elizabeth (Jenkins) Jones. At this time her father was deceased, and her mother had married Edward Edelen. Christopher Edelen and Jane Jones were married in the Church of England (otherwise know as Anglican, and later Episcopal Church) in St. John's Parish, Piscataway. All of their children's births are also recorded here as well, establishing another line of Protestant Edelens.

In his will, probated in 1771, he devised his widow the homestead at "Dublin", and his grandson James Edelen the property "Major's Choice". After the decease of Jane (Jones) Edelen around 1773, their personal estate was divided among the children. The estate at "Dublin" went to their son Christopher.

Richard Edelen (1671-1760) was the oldest surviving son of Richard and Elizabeth (Banton) Edelen, the immigrants. Rather than become a planter, as did his brothers, he pursued the occupation of "carpenter", which in that day meant architect, contractor, and builder. Most likely he prospered in this endeavor, as evidenced by his numerous land transactions recorded in Maryland deed records. According to reference, at least two examples of his craftsmanship still exist: "St. Richard's Manor" near present-day Pateuxant River Naval Air Station is reported to have been built by Richard Edelen for Luke Gardiner in the late 1600s or early 1700s. "Riverview", which overlooks the Potomac near St. Clements Island, is believed to be another example of his work. Henry W. Newman lists numerous land transactions conducted by Richard Edelen in Charles, Prince George's, and St. Mary's Counties in his book Charles County Gentry. At least eighteen transactions are recorded in deeds between 1687 and 1760. In the year 1753 he paid quit rents (rent paid by freeman for the use of land as required by feudal custom) on a total of 1,630 acres in the three counties. The following is a summary of land holdings for which an approximate location has been determined. In 1714, he purchased from Luke and Anne Gardiner of Prince George's County, "Frankland" adjoining "Dublin", just north of the town of Piscataway and straddling the Tinkers Creek. Other purchases in Prince George's County near Piscataway were "Friendship" in 1687 and "Irving" in 1714, lying about 5 and 8 miles north of Piscataway respectively (near present-day Andrews Air Force Base). In 1718, he purchased from John Baptist Boarman of Charles County, the 635-acre property known as "Lanterman", lying on the north side of the run into Zakiah Swamp (named for the Zachia Indian tribe that lived in the area). Today the southern portion of Zekiah Swamp is a protected natural environment area. Richard Edelen is believed to have had three wives. The first was Anna Maria Neale, daughter of Raphael Neale. It is believed that they had two children: Elizabeth Edelen married John Baptist Boarman Joseph Edelen The second was Sarah Hagan, daughter of Thomas and Mary Hagan of Charles County. Sarah and Richard were married in 1694 in Charles County, and since she lived at least until 1727, is believed to be the mother of most of his children. His third wife, and widow, was Anne Gardiner (c. 1689-1765), daughter of Ignatius and Sophia Craycroft, and widow of Luke Gardiner mentioned above. Eight children of Richard Edelen have been verified: Richard Edelen married Margaret Neale, daughter of Lord Neale of Woolaston Manor Mary Edelen married Benjamin Neale (Son of Lord Neale of Woolaston Manor?) Philip Edelen married Jane Gardiner* Edward Edelen married Susannah Wathen Thomas Edelen married Mary Blandford Winifred Edelen married William Boarman _____ Edelen married Bennett Neale Jane Edelen married Thomas James Boarman *they were step-brother & sister since Jane was the daughter of Anne Gardiner, Richard Edelen's third wife. In 1760, the son Philip Edelen was deeded the 635 acre plantation "Lanterman" in Charles County , on which he resided. Richard Edelen died shortly thereafter. His will provided for his widow Anne their dwelling plantation "Assington" lying on the east side of Zekiah Swamp and located in the vicinity of the "Great Beaver Dam". Several of his children and grandchildren were provided with land in St. Mary's, Charles, and Prince George's Counties. A tantalizing portion of the will of Richard Edelen reads as follows: "To Rev. George Hunter and his successors, in function or office, one acre of land part of a tract called St. Thomas near Newport in Charles Co., it being our family burying place and whereon our chapel now stands." No doubt Richard Edelen conducted many of his business and civic affairs at Port Tobacco, which was the location of the Charles County Courthouse. This was a thriving market center in colonial America, located up a navigable tributary to the Potomac River. Tobacco was shipped from here in exchange for slaves and European goods. The town declined significantly after the American Revolution as tobacco prices fell and soil quality declined. The War of 1812 ravished southern Maryland, and Port Tobacco never recovered from the loss of trade. Today, the sleepy town square has been restored and is a historical landmark.

Notes for Phillip Edelen: "Philip Edelen, born 1706 in Askington, Charles County, Maryland, died 1761 in Lanterman, Bryantown, Maryland. He married in 1734 in Piscataway, Prince George's County, Maryland, Jane Gardiner, daughter of Luke Gardiner and Ann Craycroft. Jane Gardiner was his step-sister, as her mother, Ann, the widow of Luke Gardiner, married (2) Philip Edelen's father, Richard Edelen, from whom he inherited Lanterman." Notes for Jane Gardiner: Jane Gardiner, born 1715 in Warburton Manor, Piscataway, Prince George's County, Maryland; died 22 November, 1793 in Lanterman, Bryantown, Charles County, Maryland. She married 1734, in Piscataway, Philip Edelen, son of Richard Edelen and Sarah Hagoe (Hagan). Jane left a will under the name of Edelen, dated 9 December, 1790 and proved 2 December, 1793, in which she named her children, Sarah and Richard Edelen, and married daughters, Anne Semmes, Mary Boarman and Elizabeth Reeves, plus three granddaughters, Elizabeth and Jane Boarman, and Rachael Gardiner. Jane Gardiner's mother, Ann Craycroft, widow of Luke Gardiner, married as her second husband, Richard Edelen, father of Philip Edelen, husband of Jane Gardiner. This was a case of a widow and her daughter marrying a widower and his son. The younger couple actually married first, followed by the senior couple a year or two later. "Jane bequeathed her dwelling house on a portion of Boarman's Manor to the St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bryantown and 1,000 pounds of tobacco to the Catholic Clergy of Charles County, appointing her son Richard and son-in-law, Charles Boarman, the executors. "Her personal effects were appraised on 9 December, 1793, at 591 pounds, 2 shillings, and 2 1/2 pence. Edward Semmes and Thomas C. Reeves signed as next of kin and received disbursements "in right of their wives", as daughters of Jane. Thomas Courtney Reeves and his wife, Elizabeth Edelen, willed their farm, located on the south side of Mattawoman Creek in Charles County to St. Peter's Church. They were buried in the family plot in Old St. Peter's Cemetary at the intersection of route 382 and Gardiner Road, near Beantown." Change Date: 5 JUN 2002 at 16:51:03 438 v.

They had also heard stories of the cheap, fertile lands available to setters in thewestern sections of the American colonies where no quitrents werecharged. It is obvious that they were impatient for a final settlementand distribution of their share of their father's personal estate.Apparently their impatience was expressed to the Frederick County Courtin the spring or early summer of 1750.

Sarah Gaye August 28, 1642 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia. 1025. Sarah Gaye, born 1620 in England; died April 01, 1689 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia. Notes for Simon Hancock: In 1630, William's oldest son and heir, Augustin, came to Virginia to claim his father's vast estate. Simon came to America in 1635 and settled in what is now Princess Anne County, Virginia. William came to America about 1638, and settled in Virginia. Simon was born in England, came to America, settling in the eastern area of the Lynhaven Parish, Lower Norfolk Co., VA, (now Princess Anne County) which is where he died. Sarah was the widow of Gilbert Gaye, then she married Simon. After Simon's death, she remarried to ? Pigot or Piggott. In 1642 he married Mrs. Sarah Gaye, widow of Glbert Gaye. Simon was a planter and merchant, His mane appears frequently on the early public recors of Lower Norfolk County durung the period 0f 1641-1654, during which time it appears that he becam a prominent and respected member of the community. In 1642 he was elected a church warden and vestryman of Lynnhaven Parish. The Colonial parish Vestry fnctioned in many ways that virtually affected the prople's ddaily existence. The vestry was composed of the of the most prominent and able men of the parish.The vestry consisted of up to twelve members, but there wer only two chuch wardens, The wardens were over the vestrymen and the wardens did not nomally serve as vestrymen. Evidently Simon was the exception Name: Simon HANCOCK Sex: M Birth: ABT. 1610 in England Death: 1654 in Lower Norfolk Co.,Va Event: Arr in Va ABT. 1637 Note: Simon Hancock was born in England ca 1610. From information found in an old family Bible, his father was said to have been William Hancock. It is known that William Hancock was an Adventurer in the Second Virginia Company of London, his name being listed on The Second Virginia Charter dated 23 May 1609, which charter was authorized by King James I for the purpose of colonizing in America. The family Bible records indicated that in the year 1620 William Hancock came to Virginia in search of timber for his building of ships, and that he was killed in the Indian massacre at Jamestown on Good Friday 22 March 1622. A few years later, his sons, Augustine, William and Simon came to Virginia. This is possible, but has not been confirmed by official documents. Simon Hancock came to Virginia about 1637 and settled on the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River in Lynnhaven Parish, which at the time was in Lower Norfolk County, but later became Princess Anne County. On 26 Aug 1642 he married Mrs. Sarah Gye, widow of Gilbert Gye. Simon became a planter and a merchant. His name appears frequently in the early public records of Lower Norfolk County in the period from 1641 to 1654, during which time it appears that he became a prominent and respected member of the community. One of the first county records entries was a certificate for 200 acres of land granted Simon Hancock for transporting four individuals to the colony. Another entry shows he was awarded 200 more acres of land for the transportation of four other people. Also in the year 1642, he was elected Church Warden and a Vestryman of Lynnhaven Parish. The first Lynnhaven Church was built in 1639. A second, known as the Eastern Branch Chapel, was built in 1642, probably on land donated by Simon Hancock. Simon Hancock and Mrs. Sarah Yeardley (aka Yardley) were given a Power of Attorney to transact business from his "loving friend," and her husband, Francis Yeardley, dated 12 Nov 1653, recorded on 15 Dec 1653. Francis Yeardley, son of Sir George Yeardley, the Governor of the Virginia colony, was appointed Captain of the Militia during the Indian scare on the Eastern Shore. Simon Hancock died in 1654 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia. His widow, Sarah Hancock, afterwards married William Piggot. Children of Simon Hancock and Mrs. Sarah Gye: William Hancock, b. 1645, m.

Joan Hancock, born Abt. 1641. ii. Sarah/Susanna Hancock, born 1643; died 1675; married Arthur Moseley; born 1630 in Rotterdam, Holland; died 1703 in Virginia. Notes for Sarah/Susanna Hancock: The daughter of Simon and Sarah Hancock of Lower Norfolk. Sarah Hancock Piggott, her mother in law's will (Norfolk co Deed Bk 5: 99 of 1689 names her grandchildren Mary, Susannah/Susan, William and Edward (NO George or Arthur Moseley); but Moriarty uses the order of the other children in the will of Arthur2Wm1 to conclude that if that indicated the birth order, then surely (because they were born in between children listed in Sarah Piggott will Norfolk Co. deed bk 5: 99) Arthur and George must have also been children of Sarah Hancock #117. Her name occasionally "Susan",& rarely "Susannah".("Ann" confusion w 3rd wife?)

Death date: We DON'T KNOW WHY Ancestral File lists 1671, we'd guess about 1674. Notes for Arthur Moseley: Came to Virginia in his teens with his parents in 1649. A portrait brought over by the family showed him with dark brown eyes and hair. Described as "dark and daring" and jokingly called "Colonel Blood", i.e the Adventurer in Bolton's The Founders, Vol I, p. 176. Arthur lived at Greenwich, his father's plantation on the eastern branch of the Elizabeth River for the next six years. When his father died in 1655, he received a sizeable inheritance, including property on Broad Creek where he lived for about 30 years before moving about 1690 to Norfolktown. Julia Combs, "Moseley Origins and Insights" 1990 cites: Robt. B. Moseley notes: Arthur was a Member of the House of Burgesses for Lower Norfolk in 1676 at the time of Bacon's Rebellion. Arthur came to VA with his parents in 1649. "Sir" Arthur arrived in VA in 1649. He resided in Lynn Haven and in Norfolk. Source for family: Va Mag Hist & Biog 40 (1932): 379-383 by Moriarty on Hargrave. Order of children follows that and Arthur's will, even though the girls and boys and are listed separately for his and 2nd wife, and are probably therefore not in chronological order -- so see also our ESTIMATES of approximate birth dates. --see Va Mag. of Hist & Biog 74: 109 in Jan 1966 where G. Andrews Moriarty discusses parts of Arthur Moseley's will which had crumbled away after Nov 1912. EARLY WIFE?: IF he had a wife BEFORE Sarah Hancock:--we've little EVIDENCE of that. Upon further review of abstract of Arthur's will in Norfolk Co VA 6: 270 OF 1700/1, Joseph and Benj are relisted later in will in what seems more like a BIRTH ORDER consistent with OTHER EVIDENCE. So we conclude that the initial mentions of Jos and Benj were preliminary SPECIAL PROVISIONS for them. However we repeat the SPECULATION that if there was a wife before Sarah Hancock, her name might've been Molly Corker, from Library of VA document by Note: He married (1) daughter of Simon and Sarah Hancock of Lower Norfolk. This was perhaps as early as Nov-Dec 1663 when in Norfolk Co. D.Bk. D: 393 Arthur Moseley and William Hancock were the two witnesses to a Wm Moseley Deed. Left a large family from all three wives. Among his descendants was Capt. Joseph Moseley of Salem, MA (d.1799), and the Hon. William D. Moseley, first governor of the state of FL. The younger grandchildren of Wm & Susanna Moseley by 1932 were published by G. A. Moriarty in his Hargrave article in the VA Mag. of Hist. and Biog. XL (Oct. 1932) p. 382, based upon Wm1Arthur2's will: it leaves Arthur3Arthur2Wm1 as child of his father's wife Sarah Hancock, in spite of that Arthur3 and his brother George both not being mentioned as a grandchild in Sarah's mother's, [Sarah __ (Guy) (Hancock) Piggott's] 1689 will originally in Norfolk Co 5: 99 (Norfolk Wills, McIntosh, Vol. I, p. 126). That ancestry for above Arthur3 b.ca.1665, is nevertheless HIGHLY appropriate for Arthur3 because after that 1689 will, Arthur apparently lived in closer association (in Henrico Co. ) with Sarah Piggott's Hancock children than did any of her Moseley grandkids listed in that 1689 will. 2nd MARR BEF 1678?: Va Pat bk 6: 636 Wm Cockroft got land in 1678 for transport of "Arthur Moseley, An. Moseley". Arthur Moseley of Lower Norfolk had a first cousin on his mother's side named Wm Cockroft, so explanation is possible that Arthur took a trip back to Europe where he was born, accompanied by 3rd wife Ann (Hargrave) Moseley. This conclusion somewhat confirmed by same day 5 Jun 1678 Patent 6: 635 was issued, to Richard Hargrave Jr., no doubt Ann's brother, for land adjacent to William Cockroft, i.e. the same man in the first patent above. VA Patent bk 5: 341(348) of 18 Mar 1662 mentions a Mr. Moselies land adj to Wm Handcock patent. it could be Arthur's brother Wm Moseley, of course. but other adjacent landowners were John Carrowaies land, and Tho. Moult. this refers back to pat bk 4: 127(188) of 23 Nov 1657 which says Moseley adj. 1st pat 1637 by Thos Holt. which pat 1: 423 mentions Thos Randall as adj landowner in 1637. long assoc. of Hancock and Moseley land means any earlier wife may be a Hancock? ALSO Va Patent bk 5: 248(176), Arthur Mosely's 200 ac patent of 18 Mar 1662, beginning at a pt in the creek in Lower Norfolk Co. But no adjacent land owners are directly listed, the only note is that the patent was granted Edward Wilder 6 Mar 1662 [?a mistake for 9 mar 1652, when Wilder's only indexed patent 3: 174 was issued & since an intervening decade makes more sense than just 12 days, for all the transactions listed], sold to Nich. Freeman who assigned to sd. Mosely. The only other nich. Freeman note indexed in patent books is 3: 154 of 12 feb 1652 for a nich Freeman in Lancaster Co. VA (which then included Essex Co etc). Va Pat bk 6:334 of 1670 Arthur re-registered his father's 1652 Broad Creek Patent. Va Pat 7: 145 1682 Anne Harding alias Emperour adj Arthur Mosely & Rich Hargrave Norfolk Co Va. Deed Bk 4: 25 of 1675 appears to be Arthur's first sale of land. Names of these early deed witnesses, principals : Carter Malbone, Jas Wallace, Wm Hancock, Plomer Bray?, Adam Keeling, but no dower releases on any sales. After living in VA for 40 years he was naturalized before 16 Sep 1692. He was somewhat forced to, as he had bought lots in what was to become Norfolk Town, and as an alien his titles were defective, (Norfolk Deed Bk 06:124, Office of Clerk of Circuit Court, Chesapeake, VA). In Norfolk Town he was licensed to keep an ordinary (i.e. an ordinary tavern restaurant) on 16 May 1694. Will written 01 Feb 1700, proved 1702/3 Norfolk Deed Book 6: 270. Executrix is his wife Ann (his last wife). Fortunately, this will was copied in earlier times and so the names of the latter children are known. The will has deteriorated to the extent that the latter children's names are missing today. 512 iii.

SOURCE: Burke's AMERICAN FAMILIES with British Ancestry: Colonel Thomas LIGON, of Elliston, Yorks, emigrated to America 1641 /42, and settled in Virginia, where he was appointed a County Liutenant and Su rveyor ofHenrico County, Member of the House of Burgesses from Henric o County 1655-56,and a Justice of the Peace for Charles City County , b. ca. 1600, m. 1st, a dau of Dennis Pratt, of Stokes, Coventry, Wa rwichshire, and 2ndly, 1648/50, Mary, dau. of Capt. Thomas Harris, wh o emigrated from Essex to Virginia 1611, and settled in Henrico Count y, and d. 1675, having had by his second wife, four sons, and two dau gters. He married Mary Harris Virginia, 1648/1650. Mary was born Henrico County, Virginia 1625. Mary was the daughter of CPT Thomas Harris and Adria Gurganey. Mary died 1 Feb 1704 Henrico County, Virginia, at 78 years of age. Mary Harris married Col. Thomas Ligon; Colonel Thomas LIGON was born January 11, 1623-1624 or 1625 in Sowe, England not (Madresfield, Worcestershire, England). THE LIGON FAMILY IN AMERICA states that the Colonel was born in 1586. Pat Sexton gives the date as 1/11/1624. The Mississippi Genealogical Exchange gives the date as 1586. This date corresponds with the father of Thomas, also named Thomas. Virginia Genealogist shows this Thomas baptized in 1623/1624? (see source list) He immigrated in 1641 to Virginia. He was elected as Member house of Burgesses in 1655/56 in Henrico County, Virginia. He was elected as Justice of the Peace in 1657 in Charles City County, Virginia. The same year he purchased tract of land from Col. William Byrd on the James River. He was elected as County Lieutenant in 1657 in Charles City County, Virginia. He signed a land deed in 1657 in Henrico County, Virginia. Bought a tract of land from Col. William Byrd. He was awarded a land grant on 5 APR 1664 in Henrico County, Virginia. Col Thomas Ligon acquired much land in his lifetime, the first being for 800 acres, being due for transportation of 16 persons from England to Virginia. This was followed by six other patents, the last in 1672, just three years before his death. Altogether, his patents totaled 4,005 acres. His children and grandchildren also received twenty land patents and grants, issued at various times up until 1752, so the holdings of the Ligon family eventually amounted to several thousand acres. These lands were in Henrico and other counties in what is now known as "Southside Virginia". He was appointend Surveyor before 1667 to Henrico County, Virginia. Governor Berkeley appointed Thomas Ligon surveyor of Henrico County, sometime before 1667, when there is a record that he, together with Richard Cocke, Henry Watkins and Gilbert Jones, surveyed "Mawburne Hills", probably actually "Malvern Hills". Thomas had named these hills, near his first land, in memory of the noted Malvern Hills in England, near Madresfield Court, where his ancestors had lived for so long. He continued to hold the position of surveyor until his death. he also arranged for the office to pass down to his son, Richard Ligon, even though the boy was under age at the time of his death. He was elected as Lieutenant Colonel before 1669 in Henrico County, Virginia. He signed a will on 10 JAN 1675 in Henrico County, Virginia. This will is noted in the "The Ligon Family In America, page 313", although it perished in the destruction of of the Henrico County, records. He died between 10 JAN 1675 and 16 MAR 1676 in Henrico Co., Virginia at 52 years of age. "Colonial Records of Henrico County, Book 1, page 35: Administration of the estate of Colonel Thomas Ligon is granted to Mary, his widow and executrix, by William Berkeley in James City on March 16, 1675/76." He was Records Destroyed before 1677 in Henrico County, Virginia. All records showing activities in Henrico County, Virginia bef 1677 have been destroyed. This hampers the documentation of Mr. Ligon's activities for that time period. Went to Jamestown, Virginia. Mississippi Genaealogical Exchange, Vol 4 "Colonel thomas Ligon, the founder of the Ligon family in the New World, accepted his portion of his father's estate in England and came to Jamestown, Virginia in 1641 with 2nd cousin, Sir William Berkley, Royal Governor of Virginia. Gov. Berkeley appointed Thomas Ligon surveyor of Henrico. County. (Colonial Records of Henrico County, Book 2, Page 50). Col. Thomas Ligon was also Justice of the Peace for Charles City County (recorded 1 AUG 1657) and was a Lt. Col., as evidenced by the following: "Henrico County Court, Feb 1669. Present: Hon. Col. Thomas Steggs, Lt. Col. Thomas LIGON, Maj. Wm. Farrar, etc. Commissioners." He was also a member of the House of Burgesses from Henrico County in 1655 & 1656. Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 35 has the following: "The first of this family whose name appears in Virginia records was Thomas LYGON, member of the House of Burgesses for Henrico County, 1655 and 1656. The entire destruction of the records of Henrico prior to 1677 makes it impossible to learn anything more in regard to him, his will, marriage or children." "There can be little doubt, however, that he was the "Col. Thomas Lygon" , Surveyor of Henrico County (a lucrative office as things went then) who evidently had enough influence with Gov. Berkeley to obtain the reversion of the office for his son." He was married to Mary HARRIS (daughter of Captain Thomas HARRIS and Adria GURGANEY) between 1648 and 1650 in Virginia. An interesting fact found in the Virginia Genealogist: ' His children were Thomas Jr., William, Joan, Richard, Mathew, Hugh and Mary, named undoubtly for himself (Thomas Jr.), his wife (Mary), his sister (Joan/Johan), two of his father's brothers (William and Richard), and his father's maternal gradfather, Hugh Dennis of Pucklechurch". Our records DO NOT show a Thomas Jr. in the children of this man? Note that the source, "Captain Thomas Harris 1586-1658", descendancy charts also show this child. The child dies at an early age is does not marry nor leave issue. Mary HARRIS was born in 1625 in Henrico County, Virginia. Daughter of CPT Thomas HARRIS and Joane GURGANY (GARGANEY) or Adria Mary (OSBORNE). IGI In 1689, Mary Ligon gave a deposition stating her age to be 64. Ligon Family and Connections, Page 314 She signed a will on 18 MAR 1703 in Henrico County, Virginia. Shown as Will of Mary Lygon Sr. She died before 1 FEB 1704 in Henrico County, Virginia at 79 years of age. In the proceedings of The Ligon Family and Kinsmen Association, p.22, it is said that the parents of COL. Thomas Ligon were Thomas Ligon and Frances Dennis, who had seven other children besides Thomas. On the Family Tree Maker's Family Archive CD, Vol 2, it says that Francis Dennis was COL Thomas' grandmother and that his mother is unknown. At the time of Thomas Ligon's immigration, the total number of English in the colony did not exceed 15000 white settlers. "He was a Lieut. Colonel in the Indian Wars. On April 18, 1644, the Indians made a sudden attack upon the settlements in VA, and massacred about 300 of the colonists before they were repulsed. While this furious attack was in progress, Col. Thomas Ligon who happended to be passing at the moment the residence of Dr. John Woodson, helped Sara Woodson defend her home against the Indians. The only weapon they had was an old gun which Col. Ligon handled with deadly effect. At the first fire he killed 3 Indians, and two at the second shot. The holwing mob on the outside took fright and fled but Col Ligon fired the third time and killed two more, making seven in all. The old gun which rendered such valuable service on that dreadful day, was made in England and is now in the possession of the Virginia Historical Society.

In 1656 he he served as a justice of court for Henrico Co.

She was the daughter of 2078. Christopher(Capt) Newport and 2079. Elizabeth Glaufield. Notes for William(Col.) Hatcher: William Hatcher came into this country about 1635 and figured conspicuously as a resident of Henrico. On June 1 1636 he received a patent for land for the importation of himself and three others into the colony. In the land grant office in Richmond are recorded the several grants of land issued to this William Hatcher, in Book 1, page 433, 850 acres; Book 1, page 559, 150 acres; Book 6 page 529, 227 acres. In their beginnings in Henrico, the Hatchers...were very well to do people. William Hatcher, the immigrant became a member of the House of Burgesses from the County of Henrico and served in that capacity in 1644,1645,1646,1649,and 1652. Colonial Virginia Register, p. 65; 5 V. 98. At the beginning of the Session of November 1654, the House of Burgesses made the following order: " Whereas Col. Edward Hill, unanimously chosen speaker of this house, was afterwards maliciously reported by William Hatcher to be an atheist and blasphemer..... and forasmuch as the said William Hatcher... hath also reported, that the mouth of this house was a Devil....It is therefore ordered by this house, that the said William Hatcher, upon his knees, make an humble acknowledgement of his offence unto the said Col. Edward Hill and Burgesses of this Assembly; which accordingly was performed, and then he, the said Hatcher, dismist paying his fees." William Hatcher was again Burgess in March 1658-9. So far as the extant records show, this was his last public service; but the temper which induced him to denounce Speaker Hill, got him into trouble at the time of Bacon's Rebellion. At a court held by the Governor and Council, March 15, 1676-7. "William Hatcher being brought before the court for uttering divers mutinous words tending to the disquiett of this his Majesty's countrey, and it being evidently made appeare what was layd to his charge by divers oaths, and a jury being impanelled to assesse the damages, who bring in their verdict that they award the said Hatcher to pay ten thousand pounds of tobacco and caske, which verdict of the jury this honourable court doth confirme: but in respect the said Hatcher is an aged man, the court doth order that the said Hatcher doe pay with all expedition eight thousand pounds of drest porke unto his Majestie's Commander of his forces in Henrico county. for the supply of the souldiers, which if he fayle to doe, that he pay eight thousands pounds of tobacco and caske the next cropp, and pay costs." He was much more fortunate than most who took part in this rebellion which was called by Bancroft the "Harbinger of American Nationality". Many were committed to prison and were condemned of all or most of their property, which, incidentally was given to friends and supporters of the King. The citizens of HenricoCo sent the King a list of their grievances and requested that they be heard. This manuscript signed by: Wilber Elam, John Pleasants, Solomon Knibbe, and Will Hatcher. This was reported in "The History of HenricoCo, VA". In April of 1680 William Hatcher left property and personal items (a Life Estate) to Thomas Burton, believed to be his grandson. NOTE: According to page 323 of "History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia" found online it is written: "More than 20 years afterwards, in his old age, he was fined eight thousand pounds of pork, for the use of the king's soldiers, on account of mutinous words uttered shortly after Bacon's rebellion." (perhaps both are correct) In 1676, William was fined ten thousand pounds of tobacco and casks for the part he took in Bacon's Rebellion, which Bancroft in his History of the United States says, was "the early harbinger of American nationality." The Hatchers, long before the Revolutionary War, were battling for the rights of the people as against the encroachments of arbitrary power. He owned three fine plantations on the James River: "Varina", "Turkey Island", and "Neck of Land". It is commonly believed that William Hatcher descended from the Careby Hatchers of Lincolnshire, England, and many books and family trees record this belief, some claiming his father to be a T'homas Hatcher, others claiming William Hatcher. But none can provide even a shred of documentation to support this claim. After more than 10 years of researching the English records and documents, Emory Hatcher, through a professional British genealogist, has disproved all possible Hatcher males of the Careby Hatchers as the father of William with one exception. One Henry Hatcher simply disappears from the records after 1599. There is no evidence that this Henry is William's father, but because of the lack of records simply cannot be completely eliminated as a possibility. There is recorded in Henrico County a deposition dated 1677 of William Hatcher then aged about sixty- three years, making his birth date cl6l3. Deeds: Virginia Land Patent Book No 1, Part 1, p 40: 1 June 1636: William Hatcher is granted 200 ac HenricoCo on Appomatuck River "near to the land of Elizabeth Warde, widow", 50 for his personal adventures and 150 for transporting 3 persons including himself Near to the land of Pearse and Mary Box. From "Early Virginia Immigrants, 1623-1666". These 3 irnportees were Alice Emmerton, Richard Radford, and John Winchester. And in 1637 William again imported 3 people: Benjamin Gregory, T'homas Browne, and Charles Howell. Children of William(Col.) Hatcher and Marion Newport are: i. Edward Hatcher, born 1637; married Mary Ward; born 1639; died 1711. ii. Henry Hatcher, born 1638. iii. William Hatcher, born 1639. 519 iv. Jane Hatcher, born 1640; died 1710; married (1) William Baugh; married (2) William Branch; married (3) Abel Gower. v. Susannah Hatcher, born 1642. vi. Benjamin Hatcher, born 1644. 1040. James Hill, born 1620 in England; died 1677 in Nansemond County, Virginia. He married 1041. Elizabeth. 1041. Elizabeth, born 1625 in England; died 1674 in Nansemond County, Virginia. Child of James Hill and Elizabeth is: 520 i. James Hill, born 1656 in Virginia; died 1708 in Henrico, Virginia; married Anne Clark. 1042. William Clark, born Abt. 1634; died 1713. Notes for William Clark: William Clarke, a planter and early citizen of Henrico County, was born about 1634 according to an Henrico County deposition. The younger William Clarke sued Timothy Allen in Henrico County February Court 1682/3. Allen was to have roofed a house seven years earlier in return for a lease to some land. The court dismissed the suit because Clarke had no written lease and waited too long to bring his charges. In the June Court 1683, the justices judged Robin, an Indian boy belonging to William Clarke, to be ten years of age. The General Assembly had recently classified Indian servants as slaves. Two years later they judged Richard Brown, a servant boy belonging to William Clarke, to be eleven. On 20 April 1685, William Clarke secured a patent for 124 acres in Henrico (now Chesterfield) County. The governor had previously granted the land to Gilbert Deacon. Deacon's original patent described the land as next to Thomas Sheppey [7046.2/S] and the Elams. About the early part of 1689, Robert Evans, a Henrico County inhabitant died at Clarke's home. By August of that year no one had come forward to express any interest in his effects so the court ordered Clarke to come to the courthouse to report on what he knew about Evans's estate. Clarke showed the justices a bill of sale for a bridle and saddle that he believed was Evans's only property and they dismissed him. In October 1689 Clarke and Abraham Womack had a dispute about the location of the boundary between their lands. The Henrico County court ordered them to employ a surveyor and resolve the dispute themselves. The two agreed to the boundary 30 May 1690. At the 1 December 1690 session, the Henrico County court certified that William Clarke was due 200 acres of land for importing John Ballard, Richard Brown (his servant boy), and himself twice. Brown was undoubtedly Clarke's servant boy mentioned above and who was in the Colony before February 1684/5. In 1691 Clarke obtained a patent for 81 acres in Varina Parish for having twice paid for his own travel costs to Virginia. Either he or his son made another visit to England for John Pleasants paid his passage according to a 1715 land patent. Another John Pleasants headright was Allenson Clarke. William may have been a Henrico County surveyor. In his 1697-will, Gilbert Elam II [3540.1.7/S] mentioned land "marked and laid out by Robert Hancock [H.3] and William Clerke." Henrico County listed William Clarke head of a family in 1679. By 1704 he was paying quit rents on 333 acres of land. William Clarke married at least twice. In his Henrico County will (will dated 17 Jan. 1712/3 , proved 5 Oct. 1713), he mentioned his wife, Mary, and "her four children" William Clarke [3314.2], Allenson Clarke [3314.3], Jane Goode [3314.4], and Mary Clarke [3314.5]. To "my daughter Ann Pride [3314.1]," by then the wife of William Pride [3316], he left 1 shilling. John Worsham [W.1], Robert Elam, and Elizabeth Elam witnessed Clarke's will and Abraham Womack, Robert Elam, and William Ligon [880] inventoried his personal property. One of William's wives was the widow of William Womack for a suit in the General Court of 8 April 1674 was resolved by conveying two-thirds of William Womack's property to his brother Abraham Womack, and the remainder to his widow, then the wife of William Clarke. The governor issued a posthumous patent in the name of William Clarke Sr.on 16 June 1714 for 229 acres on the south side of the James River. The land was described as next to Thomas Sheppey and Gilbert Elam. The mention of Sheppey is striking since the last Thomas Sheppey in Virginia died before 1689. Perhaps the land had been surveyed many years before. They repatented the 124 acres of Clarke's 1685-patent and an additional 105 acres for importing three individuals. This patent was mentioned thirty-nine years later when Henry Randolph got a patent for 120 acres on 5 July 1753. Part of Clarke's patent was by then in the hands of Mary Jones, Catherine Jones, and John O'Neal who had failed to pay the quit rents on the land and to cultivate it. We do not know how they came to own the land or whether they were Clarke descendants. They may have been descendants of Richard Jones of Essex County who bought 155 acres from Allenson Clark in October 1735. Child of William Clark is: 521 i. Anne Clark, born 1660 in Virginia; married (1) James Hill; married (2) William Pride November 24, 1708. 1044. John Fowler, born 1638 in England; died 1683 in Henrico County, Virginia. He was the son of 2088. Christopher ( Rev)) Fowler and 2089. Elizabeth Burgess. He married 1045. Mary Archer. 1045. Mary Archer, born 1636 in England.

Godfrey Fowler, born 1670 in Henrico County, Virginia; died 1743 in Henrico County, Virginia; married Susannah Wilson. 1046. John Wilson Child of John Wilson is: 523 i. Susannah Wilson, born 1674; married Godfrey Fowler. 1048. Thomas Lockett, born 1645 in Prince George, Virginia; died 1686 in Henrico, Virginia. He was the son of 2096. Thomas Lockett. He married 1049. Magaret Osborne. 1049. Magaret Osborne, born 1650 in Henrico, Virginia; died 1708 in Bristol Parish, Prince George, Virginia. She was the daughter of 2098. Thomas Osborne and 2099. Martha Jones. Notes for Thomas Lockett: Family tradition says that Thomas was a Quaker. There is no way to prove that, but it may well have been true. On 2 Jun 1679, at a time when every male over sixteen was required by law to be in the militia, Thomas was instead allowed to pay for "outfitting" (paying for horse, gun, etc) for two militiamen and was, himself, excused from duty. There is no doubt that four of his five children married Quakers. On 2 Aug 1677, he filed an agreement with James BAUGH that the boundary line between their property would be a line of marked trees beginning at Appomattox River. On 2 Apr 1683 Thomas Lockett bought from William Farrer and Priscilla, his wife, a tract of land on Appomattox River between the Spring and Deep Bottom. (Mrs. Farrer had inherited this land from James Baugh). Strangely, in contradiction to everything we thought we knew about this man, he was brought before the grand jury on charges of public drunkenness which he admitted. Notes for Magaret Osborne: Family tradition says Margaret was the daughter of Thomas OSBORNE, Jr. and granddaughter of Thomas OSBORNE, one of the leaders at Jamestown. The marriage record cannot be found, but it is probably true. Thomas OSBORNE, Jr., made Thomas LOCKETT two gifts of land in 1667 and that was the traditional thing to do for a new son-in-law. Children of Thomas Lockett and Magaret Osborne are: 524 i. Benjamin Lockett, born 1669 in Henrico, Virginia; died 1729 in Henrico, Virginia; married Winifred Pride 1691 in Henrico, Virginia. ii. Thomas Lockett, born Abt. 1673; married Martha Osborne; born Abt. 1700. 1050. William Pride, born Abt. 1650 in England; died 1722 in Henrico, Virginia. He married 1051. Jane Halcott. 1051. Jane Halcott Notes for William Pride: In Henrico County Deed Book 1, pg. 71 - "William Pride did this day acknowledge in open court the deed of a gift of land unto his daughter, Winnifred, wife of Benjamin Lockett". He was awarded headright land for transportation of 26 persons including himself and his wife, Jane. He was the leader of the Quakers in the area Deeds, Wills, etc. 1688-1697, page 602, Henrico County, Virginia. Deed from William Pride to his children, Winifred Lockett, Halcott Pride, John Pride and William Pride. Surry County Records, deposed in 1668, that he was age 30 or thereabouts. We know that his wife's name was Jane from a Patent wherein he was granted land for the transportation of 26 individuals, including himself and his wife, Jane. William Pride I was born about 1650, probably in England. When he secured a patent for land in 1693, he and his wife, Jane, were among his headrights. Yet William had evidently been in the Colony for many years. Charles Scarborough, et.al. got a patent for 4,500 acres in Northampton County on 23 March 1671/2 for transporting ninety individuals to the Colony. The first two named in the list of headrights were John Stewart and William Pride. John Stewart was a William Pride neighbor in Henrico County. Two other names next to each other on this headright list were Henry Haskins and John Creed, perhaps ancestors of Creed Haskins, of Henrico County. "William Pryde" was a headright for Thomas Binns when he secured a patent for land in Surry County in 1653. We do not know if he was a relation. In 1677 Indians threatened the peace of Henrico County. For security, William Pride and his wife went to stay five nights of the week at the home of William Bevin. In return, Pride was to help Bevin plant tobacco on his land in and get one-third of the proceeds from the harvest. Yet a dispute arose and Pride took Bevin to court. We do not know the disposition of the suit. In 1685 the Henrico County court arrested "Mr Will Pride" because he owed Col. Edward Hill £3:8:10 which was to be paid in deer skins. The sheriff released Pride without taking any security. When Pride failed to show at court, they granted Hill a judgement against the sheriff. The justices would release the sheriff from the judgment if he induced Pride to show in court. We presume he did. We know Pride had an Indian who hunted for him and this may explain why he was paying a debt in deer skins. Pride may have been a hunter, too. In this period, Indians were a threat to the Colonists and Virginia passed an act to discourage fraternization with Indians without a license. Anyone violating the act would be jailed for a year or fined 5,000 pounds of tobacco. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ In April 1692 William Pride was growing tobacco on a plantation next to Henry Randolph on Swift Creek in Henrico (now Chesterfield) County. On 1 December 1692, he bought two half-acre lots from William Randolph et. al. They litigated this transaction for more than fifteen years. William lost the case but was assessed damage of just £0:5:6. Pride's lot was in the Town of Bermuda and the trustees were Francis Epes and William Randolph. Pride's neighbors in town were Edward Hatcher [3540.1], and Mary (Tanner) Ligon [3522.3], Robert Thompson, Edward Stratton [S.1], John Stewart Jr., Thomas Cocke Jr., Melchizedek Richardson [6648.1.4/S], and Thomas Jefferson [3324.4.1]. Arthur Moseley [H.4.1] and William Worsham bought a lot in 1715. In 1693 William received a patent for his 1,278-acre plantation. His grant was in consideration of having imported to the Colony 26 persons, including himself and his wife, Jane —. In 1704 Pride paid quit rents on 1,280 acres. We do not know the surname of William's wife but perhaps it was Halcot. She may have been a Quaker because some consider the Prides to have been Quakers. We do know they had at least the following children: Halcot [3316.1], William II [3316.2], John [3316.3], and Winifred Pride [3316.4]. In October 1695 William gave land in Henrico County to his daughter Winifred, wife of Benjamin Lockett, with the stipulation that if she died without heirs, the land would descend secondly to Halcot. If he died childless, the land would go thirdly to John Pride. William continued to live in Henrico County where he inventoried the estates of William Frasier, Ann Morris, John McKascoe, and Daniel Stuart. Pride was a neighbor of James Hill I [1656] and was there to witness Hill execute his will on 14 June 1707. Hill died before 1 November 1708 when his wife, Ann (Clarke) Hill [3314.1], presented his will in court. Ann did not long remain a widow for within the month, on 24 November 1708 , she married neighbor Pride. Ann was still living on 17 January 1712/3 when her father called her Ann Pride in his will. A peculiar item is this: the Henrico June Court 1722 ordered the recording of a deed between William Pride and Richard Walthall [A.4.1.3]. Jane Pride relinquished her dower right. Maybe the deed was old or they recorded the wrong name? William Pride died before 3 March 1723/4 when his son and executor John Pride presented his will to the Henrico County court. Yet we do not have a copy of the will. On 6 April 1723/4, John Pride presented an inventory of William's estate valuing his personal property at £182:0:9. Pride was a neighbor of James Hill I [1656] and was there to witness Hill execute his will on 14 June 1707. Hill died before 1 November 1708 when his wife, Ann (Clarke) Hill [3314.1], presented his will in court. Ann did not long remain a widow for within the month, on 24 November 1708 , she married neighbor Pride. Ann was still living on 17 January 1712/3 when her father called her Ann Pride in his will.

Peter Currico Notes for Peter Currico: These traditions have been handed down through the family "The first record found in Maryland shows transportation of one Peter Currico to Maryland 1657. This Peter, possibly the father of the others, may have obtained a land grant in Charles Co., Maryland and then returned to France for his family. The second trip was made in their own ship called "La Voyage". It was manned by a group of brothers, among them were a pair of twins Peter & Paul, believed to have been the oldest and a sister Jane. They began a settlement in Charles Co. at Bryantown, Maryland. Then they decided to return to France to sell all property there, purchase stock and seeds and equipment and furnishings, also to bring members of the family who had remained at home in France. Peter had married and begun a family, so he was left behind to take care ofthe new settlement. Possibly some of the other brothes left wifes and family in charge of Peter. The ship was loaded and they set sail again from a port in France (it is claimed that they lived in France near the Spanish border, maybe port of Bordeau, on the North or Marsailles on the South). They did not make it to Maryland. Were shipwrecked and lost at sea in a storm, or were captured and killed by pirates. Only Peter and his family & possibly a wife & family of one or so of the brothers remained form whom the Carrico family descends in the United States. Peter had two sons Peter and Abel, from whom we can tract most of the Carricos, but a few who we can not connect, leading to the beliefe that another brother may have left a wife & children. In France the name may have been Carriceau, or if they lived near Spain, Basques accounting for the Spanish spelling Carrico. Tradition also says that a serious rift between the brothers Peter & Abel due to religion. They were originally a Catholic family and Peter & most of his descendents at least for the first few generations remaind Catholic. Abel married Elizabeth Sims, a Huguenot, and moved with them to Fairfax Co., Virginia, where his family was raised Protestant.a Child of Peter Currico is: 568 i.

Notes for John Hamilton: Notes for John Hamilton I: In her book, IMPRINTS 1608-1980 HAMILTON, AND ALLIED FAMILIES, Sister Mary Louise Donnelly begins the preface of her book as follows: "He was a lonely man standing on the deck of a sailing ship, as he watched his beloved Scotland fade on the distant horizon. His strength of character was hidden under his plain appearance as he stood talking with other emigrants to the "New World" in 1674. No one would have ever guessed that he was of the noble lineage of Lord Hamilton, who in 1474 had married Princess Mary, eldest daughter of James II, King of Scotland. Nor would they have known that his family had remained head of the house of Hamilton for almost a century, next to the Royal family heir to the Scottish crown." "But alas, much had taken place in his beloved Scotland since then. For in no other country in Europe had the 'Reformation been more rapid, and the revolution which accompanied it , more radical and thorough, than in his own country. With much violence mobs destroyed churches, despoiled monasteries, and fully ratified England's penal laws against the practice of the Catholic religion. Under these conditions some of his countrymen gave up their faith, but others preferred their faith to their nobility, possessions, and even in some cases, their lives. The name 'HAMILTON was often listed among those exiled to the Continent for the sake of their consciences, and history proudly relates that the last great stronghold of the faith in Scotland expired when John Hamilton, archbishop of St. Andrews, was hanged a martyr in 1571."

Notes for Thomas Wheeler: THOMAS WHEELER (1660-1735) Thomas Wheeler was born 18 March 1660, in Charles County, Maryland, the son of John and Mary ( ) Wheeler. He married, but the name of his spouse is not presently known. He was the ancestor of the Walter Ball who wrote the Wheeler History quoted herein. In 1671, John Wheeler obtained a land patent for a tract of land called Wheeler's Addition. He then proceeded to pay taxes on it in the name of Thomas from 1671 to 1724, when he deeded it to his son, Richard. Thomas was only eleven years of age in 1671. Thomas registered his cattle mark 14 September 1680 and resided at Port Tobacco. There are many court proceedings and registrations of cattle marks for his children, and transfers of land which establish the identities of his children. He died intestate in 1735 and letters of administration were granted to John Wheeler, whom Mr. Ball presumes to be his son, 7 March 1735, with Ignatius Mitchell and Thomas Mitchell as sureties. (Test. Pro. 30, 146) An inventory of the estate was filed 10 September 1736 by William MacPerson and Henry Brawner. It was signed by Ann Mitchell and Elizabeth Green as next of kin.

Benjamin Wheeler, born Abt. 1700; married Elizabeth Clements; born 1701. Notes for Benjamin Wheeler: The following data is taken from "Time After Time," Vol. 1, No. 5, aninformal historical publication by E. C. Smith, a title searcher fromJarratsville, Maryland. Mr. Smith must have died by early 1999 when Ifound his article on the Internet and wrote him, noting ever so politelysome of his mistakes (e.g., that Catholic David Thomas divorced ElizabethWheeler when he in fact died and left her his widow). I received noresponse. But his story of "The Three Sisters" is a good one which Ihave edited for readability and provide family context. Benjamin Wheeler, a Roman Catholic born in Charles County, Maryland,"took up" 1000 acres of land in about 1685. According to E. C. Smith,Benjamin was the son of John Wheeler, not Thomas Wheeler. In 1704, atthe age of 19, Benjamin married Elizabeth. They lived in Charles Countyfor 7 years and then moved to Prince George's County, Maryland. In 1716,at age 31, Benjamin patented 1000 acres of Northeast Baltimore County andnamed it "Wheeler's and Clark's Conrivance." Two years later he took hiswife and five children from "crowded" Prince George's County to thisproperty in the wilderness of Indians, forts, miles of forrested hills,and few neighbors. Benjamin Wheeler would eventually patent over 4,000 acres in what wouldbecome part of Harford County. The names he gave them were: "Wheeler'sand Clark's Contrivance," "The Three Sisters," "Taylor's Neglect,""Benjamin's Beginning," "Maiden's Meadows," "St. Omer's," and "GreenSprings." Benjamin and Elizabeth lived from 1718 to his death on October21, 1741 at "Wheeler's and Clark's Contrivance." "The Three Sisters" was patented in 1718 about the time of the birth ofBenjamin and Elizabeth's third daughter, Charity (plus, at that time,Jane and Mary). Part of the Upper Node Forest, the farm was locatedbetween the drafts of Deer Creek and Winter's Run. This was a wild,wooded area covering Harford, Baltimore (from which Harford was carved)and Carroll Counties, from the Gunpowder River to "The Barrens" in YorkCounty, Pennsylvania. {Barrens were created out of the great forests bythe Indians who burned the same several hundred acre area each Fall. Newgrowth the following Spring attracted game and made hunting easier. Overthe years, however, the lack of a root system caused the topsoil toerode, and today only stunted trees grow there. The smoke from theseburnings made "hazy" days of Fall which came to be known as "Indiansummer."} The financial successes of Benjamin and Elizabeth Wheeler enabled them toprovide each of their children a house, farm and servants as theymarried. On September 15, 1741, five weeks before his death, Benjamindeeded away all of his land to his eight children in what was perhaps agreat example in the Colonial Era of "How to Avoid Probate." "The ThreeSisters" was divided among the four children who already lived there: 400acres to son Benjamin and 200 acres each to Jane {and Isaac Butterworth};Mary; and Elizabeth {and David Thomas}. From North to South, the landdivided: Mary, Elizabeth Thomas, Jane Butterworth, and BenjaminWheeler. Mary Wheeler was unmarried and living on her 200 acres in 1741 when herfather died. She married William Few 2 years later and they lived on her200 acres for the next 10 years. In 1753 the Fews sold Mary's 200 acresto unrelated parties and moved with their 6 children to North Carolina.Mary died near Hillsboro, North Carolina in 1789. This northernmostsegment of "The Three Sisters" was embroiled in litigation until 1786because subsequent owners, following P. T. Barnum's eventual advice,managed to sell the same land to multiple buyers. Elizabeth Wheeler and her husband, David Thomas, were living on her 200acres when Benjamin Wheeler made his deed in 1741. David is the directancestor of Catherine DuVal Thomas. According to E. C. Smith, DavidThomas was a widower with two children, David and Hannah, when he andElizabeth married in 1732. Thus, Elizabeth may not have been ourancestor although her family provided the "family farm." In 1742 Elizabeth and David purchased half of her sister Jane's 200 acresto the south, giving Elizabeth a total of 300 acres. David died probablyin 1746 (proceedings for his estate are recorded in September of thatyear), leaving four children: David and Hannah, Elizabeth and Mary. ByJuly 2, 1748, Elizabeth Wheeler Thomas is referred to in court recordsfor David's estate as having married Henry Green. They continued to liveon Elizabeth's 300 acres and had two children, Leonard and Ann. In 1768Elizabeth sold her land to her "son" David Thomas. (Could E. C. Smith bewrong about David's prior marriage?) Elizabeth died in 1777, and HenryGreen in 1797. Jane Wheeler and her husband Isaac Butterworth were also living on her200 acres when Benjamin Wheeler deeded it to her in 1741. She and Isaachad married in 1728, and had 6 children. They sold Jane's plantation intwo pieces in 1742: 100 acres to Elizabeth and David Thomas to thenorth, and 100 acres to her brother Benjamin to the south. They thenmoved to "John and Isaac's Lott," land of the Butterworth family not toofar away. Isaac died in 1746 at age 42 (did an epidemic take both Isaacand David Thomas?) Jane remarried to Lawrence Clark and died in 1770 atthe age of 65. "John and Isaac's Lott" was eventually owned by Jane'sson Benjamin Butterworth, a resident of Bedford County, Virginia. Like his sisters, Benjamin Wheeler, the son, was already resident on hispart of "The Three Sisters" when it was deeded to him by his father in1741. He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Clement and then toRebecca Miles Beavan, a widow, and had nine children by them. To his 400acres he added the 100 acres purchased from sister Jane Butterworth andthen added a tract of "escheat" land known as "Frenches Bedford," renamed"Wheeler's Security." Benjamin died in 1769. His widow leased herinterest for 25 pounds sterling a year until 1786 when she sold it to herbrother Charles Beaven. * * * 1184. Robert Pike, born Abt. 1610. Child of Robert Pike is: 592 i.

The "Gough" line in Maryland settled near Leonardtown and Brittan Bay and resided in Maryland until after the Revolutionary War. In 1786(six years before Ky became a state) about sixty Catholic Families , with Gough family among them, covenanted together to take advantage of land offered to them in Ky. They traveled north across Maryland and Pensylvania to Pittsburg. They loaded their posessions on Flatboats and traveled down thw Monongela and Ohio Rivers 460 miles to a place called Limes (Maysville. They traveled thru the wilderness of central Ky. where they stopped,attracted by the fertility of the soil at a place called White Sulphur, about ten miles from Georgetown. The mere survival of such a journey and the severity of the winters attest to the strength of these persons. Several of them were Patriots of the Revolution. The original Gough families spread out thru-out Central Kentucky. One group settled in Scott County, Ignatius (b.1752). Ann(b.1743),Susan(b.1753), and John B(b.1765). Another Group of Gough's settled on Pottinger's Creek, 10 to 15 miles from Bardstown in 1785. Only George and Issac appear on census records in this area in 1810. Still another group traveled farther south into Logan County (presently Butler). At least four brothers made the journey, William (b.1740) Jesse (b. 1751), Jonathan(b.1745) and Thomas(b.1750). This group was active in the planning and construction of Morgantown. The fourth group settled on the Rollong Fork, a branch of Salt River in Washington County (section presently known as Marion County) about 1787. Three brothers settled originally, Charles(b.1756),John B,(b.1754)and Jeremia(b.1762).

Notes for Thomas Norris: Notes for Thomas Norris: Source Thomas Norris The Immigrant The first of the name in the Province of Virginia was born in Conghem, County Norfork, England circa 1608. He ran away from home when a lad of about eleven years of age and went to sea which he followed until the time of the arrival in the Province of Virginia in 1650-51 From his associates he evidently settled in Hammond County, and being of an adventurous and roving nature, he became a follower of William Claiborne in his trading adventures. It is historically well known that the earliest settlers in what later became the Province of Marland were the members of the trading postestablished by Captain William Claiborne on what was called "Kent Island", practically most of the upper eastern shore. In 1627. By 1633this was quite a sazable colony, all being Church of England followers and from the Province of Virginia. In 1634 Lord Baltimore settled in St. Mary's Marland and there ensued quite a controversy between Claiborne and Baltimore which can be found in other sources and need not be recapitulated here. Kent Island for all intents and purposes was considered as a part of St. Mary's County with no definite separate records until October 1640. It is known that many of Claibornes's followers actually moved to St. Mary's County during the time of the Claiborne-Baltimore controversy while some of them returned to Virginia. There is recorded evidence the Thomas Norris was actually in St. Mary's County during the year of 1637. Thomas was married during the year 1637 to Ann, daughter of Thomas Hyson, of Nasomond County, Virginia, and Kent Island, Maryland, and transported to St. Mary's County, Marland in the year.

(Prov. Ct. Rec. Annapolis,alne MD. Arch. iv, 59-60-89-90) There are no deed records in St. Mary's County, Marland prior to 1851, those prior to that date having been destroyed by fire.

William Jason Jenkins, bornin 1615, also at Anglesea, was married in London 1636, probably, toFrances Ogle, eldest sister of Sir John Ogle. I do not have proof ofthis marriage, only a statement found in the Letters and Papers ofCharles I, referring to a marriage between the Ogle and Jenkins familiesduring this period. It is generally accepted that William Jason Jenkins was the brother of Sir Lionel Jenkins, Secretary to the Board of Admiralty, of the British Navy, under Charles I, which gives some supportto this presumption. Sir John Ogle was in the service of Charles I, but no mention was made as to the office he held. The Welsh ancestry of this family is claimed to be from William JasonJenkins, born at Anglesay, Wales, in 1615; was an Ensign in the EnglishNavy; brother of Sir Lionel Jenkins, Chef Secretary of the "AdmiraltyBoard," Whitehall, London; married in London in 1636, according to family tradition, toFrances Ogle, probably the eldest sister of Sir John Ogle The Welsh ancestry of this family is claimed to be from William Jason JENKINS, b. at Anglesay, Wales, in 1615; was an Ensign in the English Navy; brother of Sir Lionel JENKINS, Chief Secretary of the "Admiralty Board," Whitehall, London; m. in London in 1636, and according to family tradition, was the father of Thomas JENKINS, of Charles County, Maryland, b. probably at Anglesay in Wales, 1642, Child of William Jenkins and Frances Ogle is: 674 i.

Robert and Susannah married before 26 Jan 1654/55. On that date Thomas Gerard gave Robert Slye and Susannah her dower of one-sixth of 'St Clement's Manor". The dower portion of 1,000"acre tract known as "White Point". Robert Slye changed the name to "Bushwood" (Md Archives Liber 53, folio 631-632). Robert Slye's public career was extensive: Parliamentary Commission 1655-1657/58 Assembly, Potomac (St Mary's Co) 1657 Lower House, St Mary's Co, 1659 Speaker of the House of Burgesses 1663-1664 Laws 1666 Aggrievances 1669 Justice of the Provincial Court 1655-1657/58 St Mary's Court Justice 1658, 1664, 1666, 1668 Provential Council 1660 Provincial Commission 1654/1655 Lower House 1657, 1660, 1663-64, 1666, 1669 He held the rank of Captain in the Militia and he supported Fendall's Rebellion in 1659 and after the collapse of the rebellion in 1660 temporarily lost his offices.

Richard Abell, born 1610 in England; died 1658 in Maryland. Notes for Capt. Richard Abell: "The second Abell immigration of record appears to be Captain Robert Abell (Appendix J) who came to south Maryland from England prior to 1649. The christian names of his immediate descendants would indicate that he and Robert Abell of Weymouth, the first immigrant, were of the same English ancestry, the Derbyshire branch. It appears that Captain Robert returned to England after settling some or all of his children in the colony. Much study indicates that his sons were Richard, Samuel, and probably Cuthbert, James, and William. Captain Robert's descendants began to migrate in about Revolutionary times to Virginia, Kentucky, and thence in general to the south and southwest." Name: Robert ABELL , Capt 1 2 Sex: M Birth: ABT 1610 in England Death: AFT 1658 in Maryland Event: Abell Ref. # 1-0-1 Note: The Archives of Maryland, Vol. XLI, p.95, "Provincial Court Proceedings 1658", _FA10: carries a record of Richard, showing he was in residence then. Reference Number: A208 Note: Whether the first Abell to settle in Maryland is Captain Robert Abell or Richard Abell is strictly speculation. Some genealogists might prefer to name no one as the father of Samuel Abell I because there is no real proof of his parentage. I prefer Captain Robert because of the 1649 record of a law suit in the colony (Archives of Maryland, Volume X, pages 131 & 203). The earliest record of Richard is in "The Archives of Maryland, Vol. XLI, p. 95, Provincial Court Proceedings, 1658", 11 years later.

Notes for Thomas Hussey: Although Thomas Hussey entered the Province as an indenture, he was styled Gent., indicating in that day that he was a scion of the English gentry. His signature is found on documents which prove that he was educated in letters--an accomplishment not always attributable to many of the early settlers. He became one of the interesting characters of the early days and once wrote to Lord Baltimore that he had been robbed by the Indians "of alle but the clothes on my bodye". He contracted numerous marriages, and while it is not clear whether he professed the Roman or Anglican faith, it is known that his second wife was a Catholic, the religion which was imparted to their two daughters.

It was not until April 7, 1666, however, that he proved his rights t o 50 acres of land for his emigration into the Province, thus proving that he financed his own passage. He was single on his arrival, so it can be assumed that he was ye t in his twenties.

Notes for Carl Christopher Springer: Name: Carl Christopher Springer , Jr. Sex: M Birth: 1658 in Sweden, Stockholm, Klara Parrish Death: 26 MAY 1738 in Delaware, New Castle County Change Date: 26 JUL 1998 Burial: 28 MAY 1738 New Castle Co., DE, USA NATU: 1701 Philadelphia, PA, USA Concerning Charles as a child and school boy in Stockholm, history is silent, but there are records that show that for his higher education, he was sent first to Riga, where he may have lived with his half- sister, Christina. By the time he was eighteen, ar- rangements had been made for him to go to Johan Leyonberg, Sweden's minister in London, and to live in Leyonberg's home. What happened there is told in a letter to his mother, dated June 1, 1693, from "Pennsellvania on the Delaware River". "When I was in London, and was of a mind to journey home to Sweden. . . having learned the English speech and writing and reading. . . . . I was kidnapped and against my will taken on board an English ship, carried to Virginia, and sold off like a farm animal . . . . and held in very slavery for five years together. ____________________________________________________ "My work was unspeakable. In the summer it was extra ordinary hot during the day, and my work was mostly in the winter, clearing land and cutting down the forest and making it ready for planting To- bacco and Indian grain (corn) in the sum- mer. I had a very hard master. But now - to God be praise, honor, and glory! - I have overcome it all." "When I had faithfully served out my time I heard, accidentally, that there were Swedes at Delaware River, in Pennsellvania . . . . and . . . . I made that difficult jour- ney of about four hundred miles. And when I got there I beheld the Old Swedes, and they received me very kindly." Notes for Carl Christopher Springer: Death date from headstone. Shanghaied fm Swedish Embassy in London and taken to Virginia in 1683. Served five years as indentured servant. Arrived in New Castle Co., DE, in 1688. Naturalized in 1701. The dedication of Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church in 1699 was a milestone in the remarkable success story for one of its members, Charles Christophersson Springer, who came from Sweden some 22 years after the Dutch seizure of New Sweden. It was he who wrote the 1693 letter asking for new Swedish ministers on the Delaware. It was he who lent his tireless assistance to pastor Eric Björk in the negotiations necessary to accomplish their goal of constructing the new church. And it was he who Björk singled out as the most important reason for the success of this venture. Unlike his countrymen in America, Charles Springer came from an upper class household. His father was Christopher Springer, who died in Stockholm in 1669 after 40 years of government service. His mother was Beata Salina, Christopher Springer's third wife, who survived her husband for almost 25 years, serving as royal housekeeper for the dowager queen Hedwig Eleonora, widow of King Charles X. Charles Springer was born in Stockholm in 1658 and seemed destined to follow in his parent's footsteps as a leader in Swedish society. He was sent as a young man to study in Riga, Latvia (then a province of Sweden). Following this he was sent to London to study English and mathematics. About to return home, Charles Springer, then 21, was kidnapped and carried aboard an English vessel bound for Virginia, where in his own words, "I was sold like a farm animal" and held in "very slavery" for five years. Upon his release as a supposed "indentured servant," he walked 400 miles to the Delaware, where he had heard other Swedes lived. His initial residence, from 1684 to 1690, was in an area known as "New Stockholm," located on the north side of Raccoon Creek in Gloucester County. On 27 December 1685 he married Maria Hendricksdotter, daughter of Hendrick Jacobsson and his wife Gertrude. Around 1690, Charles Springer and his family moved to Oak Hill, located on the east side of Red Clay Creek in New Castle County. This was his home until his death in 1738. As one of the few Swedes able to read and write the English language, Charles Springer was frequently called upon to draft wills, deeds and other legal documents for his Swedish compatriots. (The courts wouldn't accept such documents in a foreign language.) His reputation was such that he served as a justice on the New Castle court for 35 years (1703-1738) in addition to his manifold duties for Holy Trinity Church as warden, vestryman and trustee. Earlier, prior to the arrival of Bj6rk in 1697, Springer also had served as reader at the Swedes' church at Crane Hook. Charles Springer's last official act was to travel to Gloucester County to prove in court on 24 May 1738 a deed he had witnessed on 9 May 1685, conveying land in "New Stockholm" to Mårten Mårtensson, Sr., and John Archer, two Swedes of Ammansland in Ridley Township. While crossing the Delaware on his return trip, 26 May 1738, Charles Springer died of a stroke. He was then eighty years old. He was buried in the church that he loved. Maria Hendricksdotter, the first wife of Charles Springer, had been buried at Holy Trinity Church on 15 March 1727. Three months later Springer married Annika, daughter of Johan and Brita Gustafsson and widow of both Matthias MArtensson and Jonas Walraven. Charles Springer had eleven known children, all born by his first wife, Maria Hendricksdotter: 1. Anna Elisabeth Springer, born c. 1687, married c. 1706 Samuel Hall, an Englishman who died as a weaver in Kennet, Chester County in 1738. His will named his wife Elisabeth, eight daughters (Mary, Sarah, Phoebe, Elisabeth, Hannah, Dinah, Susanna and Margaret) and four sons (George, Samuel, James and Charles). 2. Rebecca Springer, born c. 1689, married c. 1708 Jacob Stilley, Swedish, son of Anders Stille. She died in Christiana Hundred after 1764, and had ten children (Jonathan, Andrew, Maria, Peter, Susanna, Elisabeth, Margareta, Rebecca, John and Lydia). 3. Maria Springer, born c. 1691, married on 31 July 1716 William Cleneay, probably of French origins. She died in Christiana Hundred by 1736 after having nine children (Rebecca, William, Charles, Jane, Maria, Hannah, Jane, Samuel and Sarah). 4. Charles Springer, Jr., born in 1693, married in 1722 Margareta Robinson, daughter of Edward Robinson and Anna Walraven. He died in Christiana Hundred and was buried 26 Aug. 1759. They had twelve children (Maria, John, Anna, Charles, Catharina, Edward, Jacob, Gabriel, Margareta, Rachel, Rebecca and Elisabeth). 5. Christopher Springer, born 12 May 1696, married in 1722 his first cousin Catherine Hendrickson, daughter of John Hendricksson and Brita Mattson. Christopher died in Christiana Hundred and was buried 31 July 1755. They had nine children (Charles, John, Brita, Peter, Susannah, Solomon, Abraham, Joseph and Catharina). 6. John Springer, born blind c. 1698, married [1] his first cousin Maria Hendrickson, daughter of John Hendricksson, in 1727, [2] Mary Dempsey, English, 31 August 1736. He died in Christiana Hundred in June 1772. By his first wife, he had four children (Charles, William, Mary and Joseph). By his second wife, six more (Elisabeth, Rebecca, Israel, John, Margaret and Andrew). 7. Anders Springer, born c. 1700, died unmarried in January 1731. 8. Jacob Springer, born in 1703, married c. 1732 Mary Bishop, English, daughter of Nicholas and Dorcas Bishop. He died in Christiana Hundred and was buried 18 December 1763. They had eleven children (Dorcas, Charles, Susanna, Maria, Rebecca, Nicholas, Anna, Elisabeth, Jacob, John and Thomas). 9. Israel Springer, born c. 1705, died unmarried in January 1731. 10. Magdalena Springer, born c. 1707, married [1] Jesper Robinson, 11 November 1725; [2] Paul Paulson 19 November 1728; [3] Morton Justis, 5 December 1747. All three were Swedish. She had ten children (Jesper Robinson, Dorothea, Maria, Rebecca, Paul, Charles, Peter, John and Anna Paulson and Helena Justis). 11. Joseph Springer, born in 1709, married in 1731 Annika Justis, Swedish, daughter of Måns Justis and Catharina Walraven. He died in Christiana Hundred in 1799. They had twelve children (Charles, Anders, Beata, Maria, Joseph, Catharina, Sarah, Rebecca, Anna, Rachel, Eleanor and Hannah).

Notes for Nils Lycan: Notes for Nils Lycon: On 12 Jan. 1691, "Nicholas Nellson" asked the Board of Property to replace his meadow north of Philadelphia because it was being drowned by a new mill. He was usually known as Nils Lycon (by it's many spellings). He lived on a tract adjoining Shackamaxon known as "Poor Island," granted to his father in 1680, surveyed in 1683, and conveyed to him before his father's death. Both of Nils' sons appear to have died as children so none of his descendants carry the family name. According to Ancestors of American Presidents, by Gary Boyd Roberts, (1989), Nils Lycon/Laican may be a great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather of Richard M. Nixon, through his daughter Brita. However the positive connection between one of Brita's sons and the Nixon family has not been absolutely proven. Child of Nils Lycan and Marie Gastinberg is: 863 i.

She was the daughter of 3466. Leonard Green and 3467. Ann Clarke. Notes for Richard Coombes: Notes for RICHARD COOMES I: The name Coomes originated in Wales. Coomes is Welsh for little valley. The Coomes crest bears the legend: HE WHO STRIVES WILL CONQUER. They fought with William the Conqueror and were awarded lands in England. The Coomes families in England were in Old Stratford, Warrick County. Coomes Abbey still stands and is still inhabited by persons of the same name. The first Coomes to come to Maryland were Catholic. In England, at this time, they could not hold office. Cecil Calvert, Lord of Baltimore, to settle the new land, recruited them. Cecil had married the daughter of the Earl of Arundel, a powerful Catholic. Cecil stayed in England to protect the interest of the new colony. His brother, Leonard, was put in charge of the 200 colonists. The colonists were to sail on the Ark and her sister ship, the Dove. As Catholics, the colonists could not take the oath of supremacy and this was a requirement by the Crown of all colonists leaving England. Therefore, in order not to embarrass Lord Baltimore, they waited on the Isle of Wight, and boarded there when the ships cleared London harbor. Several of the Coomes colonists settled in Maryland when the ships arrived in 1634. Richard Coomes was one of these colonists. Edward Cooke transported Richard to the colonies in 1676. He settled in Charles County, Maryland, on a plantation he acquired called Christian Temple Manor, located on the Mattawoman Creek, and was involved in several business transactions in this area of the state. In a chancery proceeding concerning his property, Richard Coombes gave his age as 74, on June 24, 1727. It is not uncommon when discussing the history of this family to identify roots in Charles County, Maryland. It is indeed unfortunate that many of Maryland's records have been destroyed; however, pages 89 & 70 of Maria Louisa Kelley's and Inez Bateman Cherault's Hamilton Family of Charles County Maryland provides important data on our Coomes roots. Note the frequency at which names common in Kentucky reappear in this early Coomes history: "The seat of the Coombs family in England was in old Stratford, Warrick County. Coombs Abbey still remains and is inhabited by some of the family of that name." The will of John A. Coombs was probated (there) January 28, 1812. In this will he leaves five pounds to his friend, William Shakespeare, and mentions his ancient acquaintance and trusted friend, Mr. John Washington. Descendants of this family came to America very early. "Enoch Coombs and wife, Barbary, with son Enoch, settled in Maryland, 1684, as shown in Early Settlers, Liber 7, pg 551. The family was numerous in both Saint Mary's and Charles Counties, Maryland, and intermarried with the best colonial families. "Richard Coombs I @settled in Charles County, Maryland, in 1676. Ed. Cooke transplanted him; various depositions give his birth from 1652 to 1660. He was born about 1665. He had various business transactions 1714 to 1743. He md Anne Shercliff, dau of William Shercliffe and Mildred Thompson, widow Wheeler. He died without leaving a will in 1752, at nearly a hundred years of age. His inventory, Inv #33, pg 48, mentions kin: son Richard II, John Clement Coombs, friend Dennis Doheny. "Richard II married Winifred Green, daughter of Leonard Green, son of Governor Thomas Green and wife, Winifred. The will of Leonard Green of Saint Mary's County dated January 10, 1687, probated July 4 1688, leaves to wife Ann, "Green's Rest", during her life. To son, Thomas, and heirs, said plantation at death of his mother. Also 200 acres at Pangaish, Charles County, being part of "Green's Inheritance". To eldest daughter Winifred, and heirs, 200 acres, part of "Green's Inheritance". To daughter Margaret (md Jos Alvey) 200 acres, part of said tract.

"In 1719 "Coombs Purchase", 100 acres, was surveyed for Thomas Coombs. Thomas Coombs married Elizabeth Wharton. His will was proven January 19, 1753, and mentions son Thomas Wharton, to whom he wills "Coombs Purchase"; son Walter, part of "Green's Inheritance"; son Bennet, "all my whole and sole right to a part of land called "Green's Inheritance". "Four younger sons, Joseph, William, Francis, Ignatius, and Walter when they become 18, wife Elizabeth. "Elizabeth, wife of Thomas, died 1772.

He was the son of 3488. Rev. Philip Edelen and 3489. Catherine Offley. He married 1745. Elizabeth Banton October 29, 1663 in London, England. 1745. Elizabeth Banton, born 1639 in England. She was the daughter of 3490. Lord Pannewell. Notes for Richard Edelen: Richard and Elizabeth were married 29 Oct 1663 by the Bishop of London at St Peter's Church at Paul's Wharf, London, England before they left for Maryland. The marriage is recorded in The Registry of the Bishop of London, according to the College of Arms in London. Richard and Elizabeth arrived in Maryland around 1664, when Richard demanded land for his headrights. In 1665 Richard declared before the Provincial Court that he would return to England. Elizabeth accompanied him on the voyage, and gave birth to a son while in England, for in 1669 Richard made a demand for land for the transportation of his son, Philip, into the province. The family established residence in St Mary's Co, MD. On March 22, 1667, Richard registered his Cattle Mark. Richard was appointed Deputy Surveyor General of the Province of Maryland by Baker Brooke on November 10, 1676. Richard was appointed Deputy Surveyor General of the province of Maryland by Baker Brooke, the surveyor general, on Nov 10, 1676. Being a Catholic, he was disenfranchised when the Church of England was established in Maryland as the state church. However, in 1693 the Council issued an order requesting that he continue his work as surveyor until further notice. Richard named all of his children, except Philip, who may have died already, in his will written in 1695. According to family tradition, Elizabeth was the daughter of Lord Pannewell, who hired Richard as tutor to his son. Richard married Elizabeth against Lord Pannewell's wishes, which Lord Pannewell responded to by disinheriting Elizabeth. Family lore says that Lady Pannewell continued to correspond with her daughter and occasionally sent her clothes and other articles she felt would improve her daughter's life. According to "Genealogical History of Our Ancestors," (Rutherford, 1977), probably Elizabeth's father did not approve of the marriage because she was Catholic and Richard's father and brother were ministers of the Church of England. However, Richard became a Catholic when he arrived in Maryland. However, research into this story indicates that it is not true. Richard and Elizabeth's marriage record in London indicates that no one objected to their marriage. Information from Charmaine Welker. Most of the original research was done by Crolian W. Edelen.[Edelen1.ftw] Notes for RICHARD EDELEN: Philip's son, Richard, was born about 1639, and was named after the family's patron saint. He was apprenticed to James Hills, the husband of his sister Ann, and under him probably learned the skills of surveying and/or law based on his later work in Maryland. In 1663, Richard married Elizabeth Banton (born c. 1639). Family tradition holds her to be the only daughter of the Lord Pannewell, but this has not been verified. This tradition maintains that the two eloped and fled to Maryland to escape Elizabeth's enraged father, a staunch Catholic. Richard, though the son of an Anglican minister, himself became a Catholic and all of their children were raised Catholic. It is possible that the Catholic faith held by many of their descendants today originated with this matriarch. More recent research by Charmaine Welker presents a different story than that in reference 1. As can be seen from a transcript of their marriage license, Richard Edelen and Elizabeth Banton were married in the Anglican Church, of which it appears she is a member. October 29, 1663 "w(hi)ch day appeared personally Thomas French of the Parish of St. Peter neare Paules Warfe Lond(on) Parish clerke (and) alledged that Richard Edelen of the Parish of St. Andrewes Undershaft Lond(on) Merchant age d about 24 years intendeth to marry w(i)th Elizabeth Banton of the same Parish spinster aged likewise 24 years or thereabouts (and) soe at her owne disposall: of the truth of all w(hi)ch as alsoe (that)t there is no lawfull Lett or impedim(en)t by reason of any p(re) contract Affinity Consanguinity or otherwise to hinder the sayd intended Marryage he made Oath (and) prayed liscence for them to be marryed in the Parish Church of St. Peter afores(ai)d." (signed) Thomas French Their home parish was St. Andrew Undershaft, rebuilt in 1532, which still stands today in London near the river Thames. Even though it is unknown whether their conversion to Catholicism occurred prior to or after they had immigrated, they definitely practiced this faith in Maryland. Henry W. Newman states that Edward Watson of Calvert County attested in Council that "Rychard Edelen was a knowne Papist". The Maryland Records of Land Patents show Richard and Elizabeth Edelen arriving in the colony in 1664. Crossing the Atlantic ocean at this time must have been quite an adventure, since the journey usually took several months in a small ship such as the ones shown here (a painting of the Ark and Dove arriving in Maryland). In 1664, there were only about 3,000 people living in the province. Presumably, they first set foot upon American soil at St. Mary's City, the capital and main port of the fledgling colony. During this period, 100 acres of free land were granted to each arrivee who provided their own transportation under the 1632 Charter of Maryland granted to Lord Baltimore, Cecilius Calvert. However, Richard seems to have waived this right in exchange for transportation costs as the following document attests: "I Richard Edelen do from me and my heirs assign and make over unto Daniel Jenifer and his heirs all my full rights title and interest of mine and Elizabeth's my wife to land for either our transportation unto this Province as Witness my hand this ninth day of February one thousand six hundred and sixty-four" (signed) "Richard Edelen" (witness) Edward Savage Richard and Elizabeth returned to England in 1665, where their first son, Philip, was born. This would seem to indicate some level of affluence. Richard returned to America prior to March 22, 1667, on which date he registered for a cattle mark in the Provincial Court. Crolian Edelen notes that this date follows the Great London Fire. Possibly Richard Edelen lost his property in the fire and may have returned to Maryland for this reason. Furthermore, he notes that the Buebonic Plague was raging about 1665, possibly providing further impetous to leave England. Elizabeth and son returned to Maryland in 1669 at which time the following land was obtained: "6 May 1669, Richard Edelen proved rights to 100 acres of land for Elizabeth his wife and Philip his son proved in Common form" (signed) John Bloomfield In 1670 Richard was appointed Deputy Surveyor of the Province (ref 4).(see reference below) This skill must have been quite in demand, since as mentioned above, as each immigrant to the new colony was awarded a land grant for each person they transported (themselves, family members, and any indentured servants). A surveyor was directed to lay out and survey the specified amount of land and return a certificate, describing the boundaries of land, to the Secretary's Office. A patent was prepared and approved , and then forwarded the Governor for signature. A glimpse of other work performed by Richard Edelen can be found in records stating that he officiated the Maryland Assembly as doorkeeper from November 14 to December 8, 1688, and in compensation received 1,200 lbs of tobacco. It is also possible that Richard Edelen functioned as an attorney in Charles county in the 1670s. In 1674 Richard Edelen and Justinian Funnis were appointed by the Prerogative Court to appraise the estate of Captain William Boarman, which included Boarman's Manor in Charles County, near present-day Bryantown. Some of this land would later come into Edelen hands--indeed remnants of it are farmed by Edelen's to this day. Richard and Elizabeth (Banton) Edelen resided in St. Mary's County and had six children: Philip Edelen Catherine Edelen Richard Edelen married Sarah Hagan Thomas Edelen married Comfort Barnes Edward Edelen married Elizabeth Jenkins Christopher Edelen married Jane Jones Richard Edelen and his sons signed themselves as "Gentlemen", meaning they were members of the land- owning upper-middleclass.

Katherine Gresham. Notes for Oliver Burch: Several depositions from the 1700s have helped to document the early years of the Oliver Burch family. Burch family researchers believe Oliver was born in Ireland about 1646. It is not known when Oliver Burch immigrated to Maryland but he was probably in MD by 1664. Oliver Burch's name is first found on a Deed of Gift in 1713 and another deposition taken in 1726 names his age as 80 years. Oliver's wife was Barbara Tennyson, daughter of Justinian Tennyson and Catherine Gresham also of Charles County, MD. Children of Oliver Burch (1646-1729) and Barbara Tennyson Edward Burch (abt. 1678-?) (millwright) m. Mary Anderson, d/o John and Elizabeth Anderson Justinian Thomas Burch, Sr. (1681-abt.1760) m.

Elizabeth Oliver BURCH was baptized 30 Oct. 1647 Penrith, Cumberland, England. He patented a tract of land "Penray" in Charles County. In his will, this tract was called "Penrick/(Penrich?). Although in later deeds, the tract is also called "Penray," the similarity between the spelling in his will of Penrick/Penrich, and the town in Cumberland, England of Penrith lends credence to the thought that Oliver BURCH of Maryland is identical to the Oliver baptized in 1647 at Penrith, and that he named the tract after his village of origin. Supporting evidence is that a Thomas BIRCH/BURCH appeared in Maryland in 1665, shortly after all mentions of the family cease in the Penrith church records in 1662. It should also be noted that Oliver in MD named his first two sons Justinian and Thomas (Justinian after his wife's father), and his first two daughters Katherine and Ann (Katherine after his wife's mother). Thomas and Ann, being the names of the parents of Oliver of Penrith. Note that Oliver also named a son Edward after what would be his surviving brother. In a 1726 land deposition Oliver BIRCH gave his age as about 80, closely corresponding with the 1647 baptism at Penrith. Oliver died between 15 Feb. 1726/7 and 27 May 1729 when his will was written and probated in King and Queen Parish, Charles Co., MD. He married Barbara TENNISON who was born ca. 1663 Northumberland Co., VA. On 20 Oct. 1763 Oliver's son Thomas BURCH in a land deposition mentioned a tree shown to him about 40 years ago by his "uncle John SCOTT." From that record, some researchers came to the incorrect conclusion that Oliver's wife Barbara was a SCOTT. She was not. Barbara's sister Katherine TENNISON married John SCOTT, is how he was the uncle of Thomas BURCH. Oliver BURCH and Barbara TENNISON had children: 1. Justinian BURCH b. ca. 1680/2 (age 50 in 1732, age 71 or 72 in 1752, age 75 in 1755); m. Susanna DAVIS; d. between 23 Oct. 1759 and 23 Feb. 1760 Charles Co., MD (note: He did not have a middle name Thomas as alleged by some researchers.

Notes for William Sparks: The first official record of a son of William Sparks was recorded inOctober 1695 when he and his son, William Sparks, Jr., were witnesses tothe will of John Ellet in Talbot County. (Maryland Calendar of Wills,Vol. 2, p. 109) From this we may infer that William Sparks, Jr., was theoldest son of William Sparks and was probably born twenty-one or moreyears earlier, or at least by 1674. If this inference is correct, we mayspeculate that William and Mary had been married about 1670-173. "In 1696, William Sparks was elected a warden of St. Paul's Parish.The territory of this parish comprised the lower part of what is nowQueen Anne's County and the upper part of Talbot County. This parish hadexisted many years prior to 1692 when the act establishing the AnglicanChurch in the province was passed by the General Assembly, but thereafterrecords seem to have been kept for the first time. Edward Tomlins wasthe other warden in 1696. William Sparks was succeeded in 1698 bySolomon Wright. "On December 2, 1696, both William Sparks and his son William Sparks,Jr., signed an interesting document addressed to the King of England,William III. In the previous February there had been an assassinationplot to restore King James II to the throne. The plot was betrayed, mostof the conspirators were arrested, and eight of them were put to death.Stating that the news had "here Arriv'd of the horrible intendedConspiracy agains his Royal person," the justices of the province alongwith the civil officers and military officers of each county, sidned an"address" of congratulations to their "Dread Soverain." The signersprofessed their loyalty to King William and promised to "Stand by &Assist Each other to the Utmost of our power in the Support and Defenceof Yor Mats Governmt against the late King James and all hisAdherents..."

Notes for William Hancock: The following is taken from "Hancock History" by Robert Benjamin Hancock and from "The Hancock Family of England and America" by Arvil Dale Hancock. "William Preston Johnston, in his 'Johnstons of Salisbury', wrote that the Hancocks were among the founders of the Colony of Virginia and attained large wealth before the Revolution, though they were not prominent, so far as appears in politics, or otherwise than as landed gentry. Author Johnston, who was decended from the Hancocks, was serving as first president of Tulane University in New Orleans at the time. In 1606, King James I chartered the Virginia Company of London for the purpose of colonizing in America. The company consisted of noblemen, gentlemen and merchants. They believed that there were precious metals in America. The incorporators who invested their money in the company were called 'Adventurers,' while those who went to America and risked their lives were called 'Planters'. The first Jamestown Colony was established in 1607. Each Adventurer and Planter was to share in the company's profits, but the company never earned a profit. The company was reorganized under a new charter in 1609 as the Second Virginia Company. William Hancock was on the Adventurers in the Second Virginia Company. According to an old family bible which is now in the library of Randolph-Macon College, 'in the year 1620, Wm. Hancock, in search of forests for his building of ships embarked for ye plantations, being one of the company owners thereof, leaving his familie in England, On the 22nd of March 1622, he, with others, was massacred by ye Savages at Thorpes House, Berkeley Hundreds, fifty miles from Charles City. In 1630, son Augustin came to claim the estate, and died, leaving children.' The first mention of our people in this country is of the emigrant and progenitor William Hancock, who came over in 1619. He left England on the bark "Margaret of Bristol" and sailed through the Bristol Channel September 16, 1619. The Margaret dropped anchor in Chespeake Bay November 31, 1619. On December 4 of that year they landed at a site on the north shore of the James River, about halfway between present-day Williamsburg an Richmond. The Berkeley Plantation or Berkeley Hundred was established at that location. In the Virginia Historical collections, Volume 8, page 278, New Series, 'William Hancock killed at Berkeley, 1622.' ID: I22564584 Name: William HANCOCK Sex: M Birth: 1575 in Devonshire Eng. Death: 3-22-1622 in Berkley 100 Va. Note: He had been hired by King James the 1st, to settle thetown of New Bern in the new colonies. He was Staying at Thorpes house, When the area indians massacured the whole settlement. His older son William came to take over the business, but died soon after comming here, so that is when Simon came to America. INote: One McCormick Family Howard A. McCormick According to a record contained in an old Hancock family Bible, William left England in 1619, aboard the ship "Margaret of Bristol" bound for America. He was coming to America in search of lumber for his shipbuilding business. Leaving his family behind in England, William sailed out through the Bristol Channel on Thursday, September 16, 1619. The "Margaret" dropped anchor in Chesapeake Bay on November 30, 1619. Then on December 4, 1619, William stepped off the "Margaret" and onto American soil at a site on the north shore of the James River, about halfway between present-day Williamsburg and Richmond, Virginia. The Berkeley Hundred Plantation was built at this location. It is still there today, but none of the original houses are still standing. Berkeley Hundred Plantation is a huge plantation consisting of many homes. It resembled a small village. It was also the site for the first official Thanksgiving Day Service held in America, which William Hancock attended. Berkeley Hundred Plantation was the home of many of the first Govenors of Virginia, and later home to many early American Presidents. "Thorpe's House" at Berkeley Hundred Plantation was home to several of the English gentlemen who were associated with the Virginia Company. This is where William lived. It was owned by Captain George Thorpe. Captain Thorpe put much confidence in the Indians and wanted to convert them to a more civilized way of life. During the winter of 1621-1622, it seemed he was making progress. The Indians seemed more friendly and were frequent visitors to the plantation and other surrounding settlements. The settlers were convinced that their Indian troubles were over. Little did they know, it was all a trick. In the early morning hours of March 22, 1621/22, which was Good Friday, groups of Indians drifted into the settlement of Berkeley Hundred. They were unarmed, but soon armed themselves with guns and knives that were easily accessible in most homes. They then attacked the settlers. William Hancock, along with about 300 others were massacred. It was said the settlers were so surprised, they never had a chance to defend themselves. There was one Indian who had befriended a family in Jamestown. When he learned of the impending attack, he couldn't bear the thought of this family being killed. He warned this family of the attack, and he was credited with saving Jamestown. When the attackers arrived at Jamestown, they were met by armed settlers. The Indians returned to their tribe without incident. The Indians were hoping this attack would be enough to cause the remaining settlers to return to their homeland, but that did not happen. The settlers had just made it through their roughest winter yet, and were determined not to leave. The attack did; however, cause the settlers to never trust the Indians again. In 1630, William's oldest son and heir, Augustin, came to Virginia to claim his father's vast estate. Simon came to America in 1635 and settled in what is now Princess Anne County, Virginia. William came to America about 1638, and settled in Virginia. Change Date: 27 JAN 2001 The name Hancock is an English name, meaning "son of John". The first of my Hancock ancestors to come to America in 1619. His name was William Hancock. He had at least three children, Augustin, Simon, and William. He was a member of the Virginia Company. The Virginia Company was a group of businessmen who were granted a charter by in June, 1606 by King James I. The purpose of the Virginia Company was to establish an English settlement in the Chesapeake area of North America. They planned to mine gold, cut timber, and undertake various other projects, which they believed would make them richer than they already were. The first group of settlers employed by The Virginia Company left England in December, 1606 bound for America. On May 13, 1607, these men settled on Jamestown Island, about 60 miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. They built James' Fort, which was named for King James I. This area later became known as Jamestown. In the fall of 1608, a second supply of settlers were sent to James Fort. On this passenger list is the name Nicholas Hancock, a possible relative of William's. Nicholas' fate is unknown, as he is never mentioned again. This leads me to believe that he probably died soon after reaching America. Almost from the moment they arrived, the settlers were under constant attack by the local Algonquian Indians. The chief of this tribe was Powhatan, the father of Pocahantas. Pocahantas became friends with Captain John Smith during this time, but a romance between the two was very unlikely, as she was only ten years old. Powhatan also became friends with Captain Smith, and this helped ease some of the tension between the Indians and settlers. Pocahantas was a frequent visitor to James Fort and the settlers became accustomed to seeing her frequently. For unknown reasons, the tension between the Indians and settlers returned and Pocahantas visited the fort less often. Captain Smith returned to England in 1609, after being injured in a gunpowder explosion. Pocahantas was told he had been killed. In 1610, it is believed that Pocahantas married Kocoum, another Indian from her tribe. Kocoum's fate is unknown, but in 1613, Pocahantas moved to a new settlement, Henrico, and began her education in the Christian faith. She also met a successful tobacco planter named John Rolfe. Pocahantas was baptized and christened as "Rebecca", and on April 5, 1614, she married John Rolfe, with her father's blessings. As a result of this marriage, there was peace at last between the English settlers and the Indians. In the spring of 1616, the couple, along with their young son, Thomas, decided to travel to England. Pocahantas drew a large crowd all over London with her dark skin and beauty. She met King James I, and the royal family loved her. She also saw her friend, Captain John Smith, who she still believed was dead. The family stayed in England for seven months before deciding to return to Virginia. In March, 1617 they set sail. It was soon apparent that Pocahantas would not survive the trip home, as she was deathly ill from pneumonia or possibly tuberculosis. She died before the ship left the English waters. She was 22 years old. Upon returning to Virginia, Rolfe told Powhatan of Pocahantas' death. Powhatan was so grief-stricken that he turned over leadership of the tribe to his brother, Opechancanough, and left the tribe, going out into the wilderness. He was never seen again. Many people thought he went into the wilderness and grieved himself to death. According to a record contained in an old Hancock family Bible, William left England in 1619, aboard the ship "Margaret of Bristol" bound for America. He was coming to America in search of lumber for his shipbuilding business. Leaving his family behind in England, William sailed out through the Bristol Channel on Thursday, September 16, 1619. The "Margaret" dropped anchor in Chesapeake Bay on November 30, 1619. Then on December 4, 1619, William stepped off the "Margaret" and onto American soil at a site on the north shore of the James River, about halfway between present-day Williamsburg and Richmond, Virginia. The Berkeley Hundred Plantation was built at this location. It is still there today, but none of the original houses are still standing.

[St Benet Fink is sort of Northeast of Central London.] She married first, Arthur Blackmore and had by him an only child, a daughter named Susanna. Arthur Blackmore died between 01 May 1632 and 30 Apr 1633, and his widow married very soon after, certainly before 22 Dec 1634, William Moseley, also an English Merchant Adventurer, living in Delft. On the latter date, as husband of Susanna, he was sued by the widow of Cornelius Michielsz van Ring for the rent of a house in Delft, rented by her late husband Arthur Blackmore from 01 May 1632 to 30 Apr 1633, and judgment was entered for the plaintiff. William Moseley later removed to Rotterdam, where he was Steward (Schftmeister) of the English House on 13 Aug 1643." Another source (probably more reliably) cites her baptismal date as 7 Dec 1595. Notes for William Moseley: Merchant, Rotterdam. Came to Virginia in 1649. Settled in [Lower] Norfolk County, Va. Built "Rolleston Hall" in Lynnhaven Parish, thence Princess Anne County (now city of VA Beach). Justice 1649-1655. Creecy, p. 185: Lynhaven Parish covered the same territory as Princess Anne County.

[some say "Rolleston Hall" name in VA began after 1700].

"The name "Rolleston", of one of the old Moseley homes in Princess Anne county has lead to the tradition that the family descends from the Moseleys of "Rolleston", England, but researches which are now being made in England and Holland show that the Rolleston tradition is incorrect. A descendant who is thoroughly versed in the American history of the family states that, thought "Rolleston" in Princess Anne is a very old house, but it did not receive its present name until the eighteenth century. It is believed that the investigations referred to will result in the discovery of the true ancestry of William Moseley. He brought with him to Virginia, doubtless as a convenient investment, certain jewels which he afterwards sold. The following deed, letter and will of William Moseley and his wife are from the records of [Lower] Norfolk County: "At the Court held for [lower] Norfolk County Nov. 30th 1649, `Upon ye peticon of Mr. Wm.

Notes for Christopher(Capt) Newport: NEWPORT, CHRISTOPHER Captain Christopher Newport (1560? - 1617) was an English privateer and navigator who transported colonists to the first permanent English colony in America, Jamestown, and sailed back and forth from England to the New World five times between 1606 and 1611, transporting both supplies and colonists. Captain Newport had been hired by the Virginia Company to transport the colonists. On December 19, 1606, Captain Newport sailed from London, England, commanding three small ships, the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery, carrying the Jamestown, Virginia settlers, including Capt. John Smith. Jamestown was founded on May 14, 1607, by this small group of English settlers. Newport left the 104 settlers in June 22, 1607, sailing back to England for supplies. That winter, most of the Jamestown settlers died from starvation, attacks, and disease. In 1608, back in Virginia, Newport halted the execution of Captain John Smith (the Jamestown leader who had been accused of causing the deaths of the men on his expedition to obtain food from the Indians); Smith's life had been previously saved by Pocahontas when he was brought before the Indian Cheif Powhatan. On his fourth trip to America (in 1609), Newport was ship- wrecked in the Bermuda Islands and did not reach Virginia until mid-1610. After his American adventures, he sailed to Persia in 1613-1614 for the East India Company. Captain Newport died in Bantam, Java in 1617 on a voyage to the East Indies. Newport, Christopher, 1565?–1617, English mariner, commander of early voyages to Virginia. He commanded a privateering expedition to the West Indies (1592) that returned to England with the Spanish vessel Madre de Dios, the richest prize ever taken by the Elizabethan privateers. He was employed by the London Company to command their expeditions to Virginia. On the first voyage he sailed from England with Capt. John Smith and other colonists in Dec., 1606, and arrived near the site of Jamestown in May, 1607. He returned to England in July and sailed again for the colony in October with the "first supply" of emigrants and provisions, reaching Jamestown in Jan., 1608, to find the colonists greatly reduced and in dissension. Later that year he brought the "second supply" from England and explored the country beyond the falls of the James River. On his fourth voyage from England (1609), Newport was wrecked on the Bermudas with Sir Thomas Gates and Sir George Somers and did not reach Virginia until May, 1610. In 1611 he made his last voyage to Virginia, taking Sir Thomas Dale to the colony. In his later years Newport made three voyages for the East India Company, dying at Bantam, in present Indonesia, on the last. Child of Christopher(Capt) Newport and Elizabeth Glaufield is: 1039 i.

Records show that Mrs. Mary Throughton, a widow, transported him. By 1651 John's second wife, Ann Goldsborough, had been transported to MD by John Lewger. It is believed, but not certain that John & Ann married in England. There are some other passages and references to John's will and in there it shows where he leaves property to the Roman Catholic Church. Thomas' will also refers to Thomas Spalding as a cousin. Paul Tobler has information that indicates Thomas Spalding was a servant of John Shircliff and in his will called him his "cusin". Thomas Spalding of McIntosh Chree, 1657 was the progenitor of the Spaldings in America.) JOHN SHERCLIFFE was transported in 1638, but was also listed as an "immigrant" in 1646. Anne & Mary Shercliffe, his daughters, were transported in 1657.[1] He married first Ann Spinke, sister of Henry Spinke, by 1647; and second, Ann Goldsborough by 1651. He died c1668. John was the youngest of four sons of the Shercliffe family of Whitly Hall, Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, b. c1618.[2] He first came to VA c1638 on the ship "Unity" from the Isle of Wight, transported by Mrs. Mary Throughton. No land patent was found in VA for either John or Mary. Two entries, however, in Skordas reveal Mrs. Mary Throughton, widow, immigrated to St. Mary's Co. in 1638, the same year John Shercllifee was transported.[3] Four children were listed in John's will: John Jr., William, Mary and Ann Shercliffe. Deposition dated 1658 stated he was 40 years old. On Oct 14, 1651, John Lewger demanded land for transporting various persons including Ann Goldsborough, Shercliffe's second wife.[4] In 1657, John demanded land for transporting a servant which Robert Cole had assigned to Shircliffe's daughters.[5] John witnessed will of John Greenwell of New Town Hundred on March 27, 1658. In 1659, John Thimbelby named John Shertcliffe [sic], his wife Anne, and sons John & William Shercliffe as legatees of his estate.[6] REFERENCE VOLUME 1 - THE MARYLAND CALDENDAR OF WILLS PAGE 24 ST.

MARY THROUGHTON on 11/22/1638. MISTRESS MARY TROUGHTON, a widow from London, England, is said to have been "a great lady and friend of LORD BALTIMORE." When she entered the Province of Maryland she brought with her a retinue of servants and received 2,000 acres in or near St. Mary's City, which in 1643 she assigned to NATHANIEL POPE (Patents 1:20). ['Colonial Settlers St. Clement's Bay, 1634 - 1780 St. Mary's County, Maryland', by Mary Louise Donnelly.] JOHN SHIROLIFFE must have returned to England, or maybe this was a different SHIRCLIFFE. In 1646 JOHN SHIROLIFFE demanded 100 acres for immigrating into the Province (Patents AB&H:8). JOHN SHIROLIFFE was born around 1618 in Shirecliff, Yorkshire, England. JOHN SHIRCLIFFE of Newtown, St. Mary's County, gave his age as 44 on 8/5/1662 (ARCHIVES OF MARYLAND XLI:590). On 10/20/1648 JOHN SHIRCLIFFE and HENRY SPINK, who were related, had a house where they lived in Newtown on the south side of Bretton's Bay (ARCHIVES OF MARYLAND VI:208). They later owned adjoining plantations at the head of St. Clement's Bay, according to the will of HENRY SPINK On 12/19/1648 JOHN SHIRCLIFFE entered his mark for cattle, and that of his daughter MARY. HENRY SPINK entered his mark at the same time (ARCHIVES OF MARYLAND IV:462). Besides being a planter, JOHN SHIRCLIFFE was also a tailor. In the will of THOMAS PAYNE, a single man, dated 4/8/1648, he authorized JOHN SHIRCLIFFE to be paid 40 pounds of tobacco for "making of a suite of clothes.' In 12/1648 JOHN SHIRCLIFFE had jury duty. JOHN SHIROLIFFE agreed to raise ROBERT FORD, an orphan and servant of NICHOLAS HARVEY deceased, until he was 19 years of age.

Two of the children of JOHN SHIRCLIFFE received legacy in the will of JOSEPH CADLOE. JOSEPH CADLOE was in Newtown in 1647 when he received personalty from the estate of ROBERT TUTTEY. JOSEPH CADLOE wrote his will on 12/11/1651 and it was probated on 3/9/1652 (1:36). To ANNE, the young daughter of JOHN SHIRCLIFFE, and to the son of JOHN SHIRCLIFFE he left personalty. LIEUTENANT RICHARD BANKES was named as his executor and was to receive the residue of the CADLOE estate.

The SHIRCLIFFEs might have been in England between 1651 and 1657 or still in Virginia following the "Ingle and Claiborne" invasion.

THOMAS SPALDING was transported into the Province of Maryland in 1657 by JOHN SHIRCLIFFE. The father of THOMAS SPALDING was given as THOMAS SPALDING Unpatented Certificate (#459). Most sources give the birth of THOMAS SPALDING, the emigrant, as around 1640 in Suffolk, England. On his arrival in Maryland THOMAS SPALDING was an indentured servant and a relative of JOHN SHIRCLIFFE. He completed his agreed term of servitude under ANN SHIRCLIFFE, the widow of JOHN SHIRCLIFFE (Patents 4:29). ['Colonial Settlers St. Clement's Bay, 1634 - 1780 St. Mary's County, Maryland', by Mary Louise Donnelly.] In his will JOHN SHIRCLIFFE referred to THOMAS SPALDING as "cousin," leaving him fifty acres of land. Cousin at that period in history usually referred to nieces and nephews. Most researchers place THOMAS SPALDING as a son of JOHN SHIRCLIFFE's sister, and not of age and a ward of his uncle when he came to the Province of America.

The ancestors of Richard James Rapier were on American soil as early as 1637. Charles Maynard, a lad of twelve years old, was brought into the Province in 1637 and was in the service of Cuthbert Fenwick. Charles Maynard completed his service with Cuthbert Fenwick and patented 100 acres of land in Maryland on the east side of St. Clement's Bay on 2/6/1649. His home plantation was Maynard's Comfort." Charles Maynard also possessed 100 acres of Edinbergh, 100 acrs of Leith and 300 acres of Newington. A person owning 400 acres during the colonial period was considered well off so Charles Maynard amassed a fortune in land during a short period of time. Name: Charles MAYNARD Sex: M Birth: ABT. 1620 in England ? Note: arrived in Md at 17. He served for 13 years for Cuthbert Fenwick and was given 100 acres of land in 1649 for his services. He sold this, bought 200 acres more which he named "Maynard's Comfort", in the Newtown Hundred. He was great grandfather to Richard James Rapier. In 1677 the title passed to Richard Rapier, who in turned passed it to his sone Richard James.

After reserving a livelihood for himself, assigns to his friends Henry Adams and James Langworth entire estate, real & personal, for the benefit of wife, Winifred and children, Thomas, Leonard, Robert & Francis; but desires wife aforesaid to have full possession during her life, except that a certain amount of tobacco is to be given to friend Thomas Copley. Wife to give sons aforesaid designated shares in succession. In event of death of wife and of children without issue, 3/4 of estate to be given to charity and balance to Henry Adams and James Langworth, aforesaid. Harry Wright Newman: Boyhood friend of Leonard Calvert who was the first governor of Maryland. Calvert appointed Thomas as second governor on his deathbed. He served from June 9, 1647 to August 6, 1648. Lord Baltimore appointed William Stone, a protestant, as governor in August 1648 due to the uneasy political climate. Home was called St. Annes on "Greene's Freehold" just east of St. Marys City. Received the patent on October 15, 1639. He sold it in 1644. Prior to purchasing Green's Freehold, he and Anne lived in the home of Margaret and Mary Brent which they called "The Sisters Freehold" which bordered Green's Freehold on St. Marys River and St. Andrew's Creek. Survey of Greene's Inheritance in 1666: Francis Greene - 800 acres Edward Clements - 800 acres Robert Greene - 200 acres Francis Wheeler - 200 acres Thomas Greene - 200 acres Richard Coombs - 200 acres Joseph Alvey - 200 acres According to "The Early Settlers of Maryland"; Skordas; Thomas Green, Esq.; Liber ABH, Folio 6,67; Immigrated in 1633 with sons Leonard, Robert, Henry & Francis. Immigrated to America on the Ark & Dove in 1633. Sailed from Cowles, England. Governor Thomas Greene was a member of the Catholic faith, like most of the gentlemen on the Ark, a Royalist in politics, a supporter of the Stuart dynasty, and for his loyalty to the Crown he was castigated figuratively before his death by the radical elements which were then gaining strength in the Province- principally the Puritans who had been outlawed in Virginia and virtually driven out and to whom Lord Baltimore offered a haven in his Province. His marriage to Mistress Ann Cox, a spinster,* who was among the few gentlewomen on the initial voyage of the Ark and the Dove, was undoubtedly the first Christian marriage to have been celebrated on Maryland soil. She died within a few years, but was living as late as April, 1638. He married secondly Mistress Winifred Seybourne [Seaborne] who arrived in Maryland some time during 1638. The mother of his children has been the subject of much discussion, but of the two younger sons there is no question of their being the issue of Winifred his last wife. When he applied for land rights on September 15, 1647, among the claims was " 100 acres more being the right of his wife Winifred Seyborn for Transporting herself into the Province 1638. " It is therefore proved that she emigrated and financed her passage in 1638. At the same time he proved rights for 50 acres each for his children " 100 more for transporting 2 children in the year 1644 vizt Thomas and Leonard Green." From the strict construction of the wording, there is no implication that Mistress Seyborne brought them over or was their mother. Mistress Seyborne came in 1638 and the boys came six years later. This point is important. They were less than 18 years of age in 1650 and they came out of England in 1644. There is no record of Thomas Greene returning to England, so the only inference that can be placed on the matter is that two older children were born in England and had at one time been sent to England, presumably for a year or two of schooling. The diary of Father White, which is an account of what took place on the trip from England to Maryland shows that Thomas Greene m. Mrs. Ann (Gerrard) Cox. It was said to be the first Christian marriage in Maryland. Narrative of a Voyage to Maryland, 1633-34 by Father Andrew White, S.J. who came with the Ark and the Dove On the Twenty Second of the month of November, in the year 1633, being St. Cecilia's Day, we set sail from Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, with a gentle east wind blowing. And after committing the...ship to the protection of God especially, and of His most Holy Mother, and St. Ignatius, and all the guardians of Maryland, we sailed...past a number of rocks...which from their shape, are called the Needles...We left behind us the western promontory of England and the Scilly Isles...sailing easily on...[we passed] over the British channel. Yet we did not hasten, ...fearing, if we left the pinnace [i.e., the Dove] too far behind us, that it would become the prey of Turks and Pirates, who generally infest that sea... The winds increasing, and the sea growing more boisterous, we could see the pinnace in the distance, showing two lights of her masthead. Then indeed we thought it was all over with her, and that she had been swallowed up in the deep whirlpools; for in a moment she had passed out of sight, and no news of her reached us for six months afterwards...[But after returning to England and made] a fresh start from thence, ...[and] overtook us [months later at the Antilles]. [Several days later] so fierce a tempest broke forth, ...that it seemed every minute as if we must be swallowed up by the waves...The clouds...were fearful to behold, ...and excited the belief that all the malicious spirits of the storm, and all the evil genii of Maryland had come forth to battle against us...And such a furious hurricane followed...that the mainsail, the only one we were carrying, [was] torn in the middle from top to bottom...All control of the rudder being lost, the ship now drifted about like a dish in the water, at the mercy of the waves...[But eventually] the storm was abating...[and] we had delightful weather for three months. [We continued past the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Madeiras, with favorable winds [the Portuguese trade winds], which blew steadily towards the South and the south-west [to] the Fortunate Isles [the Canary Islands]. [En route to the Caribbean Sea Christmas was celebrated and] in order that that day might be better kept, wine was given out; and those who drank of it too freely, were seized the next day with a fever; and of these, not long afterwards, about twelve died... [We reached Barbados on the third of January, [but] They had no beef or mutton at any price, ...On the twenty-fourth of January, we weighed anchor and [continued past St. Lucia, Guadalupe, Montserrat, and Nevis and spent ten days at St. Christopher's]. At length, sailing from this place, [we went north, rounded Cape Hatteras, and entered Chesapeake Bay between Cape Charles and Cape Henry and] reached Point Comfort, in Virginia, on the 27th of February, full of apprehension, lest the English in habitants, who were much displeased at our settling, should be plotting something against us. Nevertheless the letters we carried from the King, and from the high treasurer of England, served to allay their anger. After being kindly treated for eight or nine days, we set sail on the third of March, and entering the Chesapeake Bay, we turned our course to the north to reach the Potomack River...Having now arrived at the wished-for country. Never have I beheld a larger or more beautiful river [than the Potomac]. The Thames seems a mere rivulet in comparison with it...The first island we came to [we called] St. Clement's Island...On the day of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Virgin Mary in the year 1634, we celebrated the mass for the first time, on the island...[then] we took upon our shoulders a great cross, which we had hewn out of a tree...[and] erected a trophy to Christ the Saviour...Since, however, the island contains only four hundred acres, we saw that it would not afford room enough for the new settlement, [we went] about nine leagues from St. Clement, [and] sailed into the mouth of a river, on the north side of the Potomac [now St. Mary's River] capable of containing three hundred ships of the largest size...We landed...and going in about a mile from the shore, we laid out the plan of a city, naming it after St. Mary. And in order to avoid every appearance of injustice, and afford opportunity for hostility, we bought from the [Indian] King thirty miles of land.

Mary Tattershall, born 1630 in Wiltshire England; died 1677 in Calvert Co.. She was the daughter of 2932. William Tattershall. Notes for John (Lt. Col.) Jarboe: 1. LT. COLONEL JOHN1 JARBOE was born 1619 in Dijon, Burgandy , France, and died March 04, 1673/74 in Brittons Bay, Maryland. He married MARY M TATTERSHALL 1656 in St. Mary's County, Maryland, daughter of WILLIAM TATTERSHALL and ANNE LEWGER. She was born 1638 in Wiltshire, England, and died Abt. 1685 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland. Notes for LT. COLONEL JOHN JARBOE: John Jarboe, a Catholic was born in 1619 at Dijon, Burgandy, France and immigrated to York, later Elizabethtown, Virginia. In a deposition given at Newtown on 6/21/1659 John Jarboe gave his age as 40(Provincial Court S:312). In the earliest records of Maryland his name was spelled "Jarbo". John Jarboe was 27 years old when he immigrated to Maryland. Lieutenant-Colonel John Jarboe was merely Lieutenant Jarboe when he came to Maryland from Virginia in 1646 to help Lord Baltimore settle some of his boundary difficulties and remained in the military service of the colony. IN 1667-8 there is record of an order given him to "press" twenty-three men out of his company and conduct them to East St. Mary's the renezous for an expedition against the Nanticoke Indians on the Eastern Shore. Everything thing too, points to then Lieutenant Jarboe's participation the imbroglio which took place at Providence, as Annapolis then was called, between the forces of Governor Stone and the government which had been set up under the authorization of the Crowellian Parliament in England 'for the reduction of Maryland." Lieutenant Jarboe was fined one thousand pounds of tobacco for his part in that affair, the lightness of his fines said to have been the result of his ability to convince the court that he had entered into the engagement unwillingly. Lieutenant Jarboe having come into Maryland under the later 'conditions of plantation," would have been ineligible owing to his birth on French soil to participate in the expansive generosity by which Lord Baltimore authorize his governors to grant land, subject to small quit rent, to every adventurer who applied for it. Under the later conditions of plantation only persons of British or Irish parentage were eligible to land grants, but a "rider," declaring that "divers Frenchmen" and "some people who were already seated" should be as capable of having grants made to them also gave him the opportunity to become a Maryland landholder. The first grant made to him was on Kent Island but, perhaps because of the insecurity of these holdings from attack or because of the more congenial atmosphere of the Catholic colony of St. Mary's Lieutenant Jarboe took up one hundred acres of land on Bretton's Bay, to which he subsequently added tracts of considerable size. Old records spak of him having had a house near New-Town, in Newton Hundred, but whether the house mentioned in this reference is the one on Long Lane Farm or not can only be conjectured, as all traces of New-Town have been lost. During the "Claiborne and Ingles Rebellion" in 1645-1646 against Lord Baltimore, Leonard Calvert took refuge in York Virginia. While in York he met and enlisted several men to help him regain his power in Maryland. Two of these men he enlisted were Colonel William Evans and John Jarboe. John Jarboe Immigrated to Maryland in 1646 as part of the Maryland Militia. On 12/1/1648 William Evans and John Jarboe received a Patent for 100 Acres each for transporting themselves into the province in 1646. On that same day a warrant was issued and they received the 100 acres each on the west side of Britton's Bay in St. Mary's County. This area Became a village called Newtown. John Jarboe and William Evans were both Catholics. John Jarboe was among a group of plantation owners in 1648 who took the "Oath of Fidelity" to Lord Baltimore. In 1653 he witnessed the will of Henry Fox. In 1660 William Tatershall appointed "my brother Lt. Col. John Jarboe" as one of the overseers of his Estate. Lt. Col. John Jarboe married Mary Tattershall, the sister of William Tattershall, Mary Tattershall was born in Wiltshire, England, she was about 18 years of age when she was termed MRS. Mary M. Jarboe. John settled down near Newton, which is not far from present day Leonardtown in St Mary's Co, Maryland. By December 1646 he was a member of the upper house, at St Inegoes Fort. He was attesting to instructions of the Burgesses. He took an " Oath of Fealty " to Lord , Proprietary of Maryland in 1648. About 1648 he married Mary Tattershall. Daughter of William Tattershall. her mothers name has not been found. Their wedding was in St Mary's Co, Maryland. Both were Catholics. In 1648 John received a patient for his 100 acres of land. And in 1649, him and William Evans demanded 200 acres of additional land promised to them by Walter PAKE. They were given by Leonard Calvert Esq. a plantation in Isle of Kent . Belonging to John ABBOTT who was a member of the rebellion of 1646. John PILE also sold his land and holdings to John JARBOE. Later John petitioned the court for an additional 200 acres of land on behalf of Bertram OBERT. Bertram was an indentured servant brought over from England by John JARBOE. On July 30, 1661, Lord Baltimore, by his brother, Gov. Philip Calvert, declared John Jarboe "Subject of the Crowne of France," to be a "free Denizen" of Maryland, with same rights as if born in the province. Three years later he was commissioned a Justice of the peace of St. Mary's county, a position of real importance, for the justices of the colonial government composed the county court, a certain proportion of their number being designated a quorum, everyone of whom was required to be present before the court could sit, unless a member of the council was present. This post was augmented in 1667 by the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel Jarboe, as he had become by this time, to be High Sheriff of St. Mary's. The appointment was made by Cecilius Calvert, Lord Baltimore, acting through his son Gov. Charles Calvert, Later third Lord Baltimore, and was confirmed the next year. The French-born Marylander also found time to sit in the Lower House and took part constantly in the councils of the province except during a short period when, in some manner or other, he seems to have given offense to the proprietary. The coldness, however, does not seem to have lasted any great length of time and preceded Lieutenant-Colonel Jarboe various appointments to office. In 1671 be made a will in writing. Subsequently, however, he had "another sonne and daughter" for whom he wished to make provisions, but failed to do so until several years later when he became ill and was urged by his long-time friend and compatriot, John Jourdain, to put his affairs in order. Accepting this advice, he urge John Jourdain to summon to his bed side the following Friday one Edward Clarke to draw him a new "will in writing," but, in the meantime, instructed Jourdain concerning his wishes and 'bade him take notice that such was his will." The formal document never was drawn up and the nuncupative will was validated by the Assembly. It appears that John was amassing quite an estate. He eventually ended up with over 1500 acres of land. Several slaves and indentured servants. He owned an mill, was a soldier and politician, High Sheriff of St Mary's Co and plantation owner. He attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and was allowed to treaty with the Indians. There are numerous items on microfilm in Maryland State Archives pertaining to Lt Col John JARBOE. He has been referred to as " An old Warrior " and a " Scoundrel ". Personally, I wonder why an French man would come to a British Crown Colony ? Maybe he was in running? Or in search of religious freedom? To my knowledge he was the only JARBOE to migrate to the America's. There is a JARBOE who went to Australia, but that was a lot later, around 1800 and he went from England. Children of John Jarboe and Mary Tattershall are: 1210 i.

High Sheriff, 1678-79, 1681. - Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Maryland Francis Barnum Culver Volume II William Boarman, according to his own deposition, was 20 yrs. of age on 5/28/1650. (Maryland Archives X:12) The first Maryland record when he was 15 yrs. of age shows him living with the Jesuit priests. William accompanied the Jesuits on their visits to convert and baptize the native Indians. In later life William knew the Indian dialects, and until his death was an interpreter for Indian affair for the Provincial government. In 1645 a civil war was raging in all the Counties of England with the most savage cruelty on the part of the Parliamentary rebel soldiers, universally against Catholics. (Annual Jesuit Letters, Old Catholic Maryland by Treacy) This same year William Boarman was taken prisoner "at Mr. Copely's house at Port Tobacco". Mr. Copely was Rev. Thomas Copely, S.J., who entered the Province of Maryland in 1637 (Early Settlers by Skordas, p. 106), played an important role in many affairs in the Province, and was seized at Port Tobacco during Ingle's invasion and sent to England in chains, along with Father Andrew White, S.J. (Fr. Andrew White sailed with the maiden voyages of the ships Ark and Dove, with Leonard Calvert, and arrived on St. Clements Island on March 25, 1634. They erected a large wooden cross, and "planted as a symbol of our faith with great emotion of the soul", took possession of Maryland in the name of the second Lord Baltimore, Cecilius Calvert, brother of Leonard. A large stone cross marks this hallowed spot on St. Clement's Island in St. Mary's County, Maryland to this day.) During Ingle's invasion, Governor Leonard Calvert and other settlers, including most of the Catholics, whose land had been seized, took refuge in Virginia. One of William Boarman's future father-in-laws, Lieutenant Colonel John Jarboe, was a leader of the troops which assisted Governor Leonard Calvert in restoring Maryland to his authority. In the official papers of Maryland, William Boarman is well documented. These records tell of his courage, his faithfulness to the Catholic religion during times of persecution, his love for and service to the Province of Maryland, and of his strong family life. William Boarman, the founder of the Maryland family of that name ,arrived in the Province as a youth of not more than 15 years of age . Hiscoming timed with the Civil Wars in England, when Royalists, Ca tholicsand Anglicans were the subject of prosecution by the militan t Puritans.His adventure to Maryland at 15, for he deposed to be ag ed 20 on May 28,1650, and financing his own passage stir the imagina tion and create adesire to know the reason of his leaving the parent al roof at so youngan age. He was a scion of old Catholic house, fo r at a Puritan court in1655 it was recorded that "William Boreman co nfesseth in court that he'sa Roman Catholick and that he was borne a nd bred so." He was in the Province as early as 1645, for in that year, he wa s onboard a pinnace at St. Inigoe's Creek when certain clothing belo nging toCuthbert Fenwick who lived at the Crosse House was stolen. From the Lord Proprietary he received a number of land patents, th etotal acreage amounting to more than 17,000. His most conspicuou s grantwas a lordship on "Boarman's Manor," of 3,333 acres, with al l theprerogatives of a baronial court in accordance with the ancien t feudallaws of England. The village of Bryantown in Charles Count y nowembraces part of his manorial domain. Another large grant wa s"Brother's Gift" of 3,000 acres lying in St. Mary's County. William Boarman was intimately associated with the Calvert family .And it is within the realm of possibility that he or his first wife ,Sarah, in some manner was related to the Lord Proprietary. His 3,0 00acre tract in St. Mary's County was given the signigicant name o f"Brother's Gift" granted in 1674 during the reign of Cecilius, an d onlythe Lord Paramount had the power to give or even grant land. Upon Charles Calvert's, later 3d Baron, initial coming to Marylan d in1661, he was a guest in the manor house of William Boarman unti l hefound suitable quarters. At that time his half-uncle Philip Cal vert,was in Maryland residence. In Calvert's retinue was an Irish s ervantwench, Nell Butler, who became attracted to one of Major Boarm an's blackAfrican slaves and insisted upon marrying him much agains t theentreaties of Calvert and Boarman who finally gave their consen t. About100 years later, her issue who had remained slaves in the Bo arman familysued for their freedom which resulted in an interestin g court case andlegal decision. Prior to the rebellion, of 1689 William Boarman was one of the outstanding men in the Province -- an officer of the provincial militia , amagistrate of the local courts, High Sheriff for Charles county f rom1679 to 1681, and a delegate to the Lower House of the Assembly f rom1671 to 1675. (See Archives of Maryland, vol 3, pp. 490 ,503, 553 ; vol49, p. 565; vol 15, p. 153; vol 17, p. 379; vol 51, p. 344; vo l 2, pp.239, 439; vol 51, p. 246; vol 15, pp. 232, 402-404; vol 17 , p. 47.) Heacquired a thorough knowledge of the Indian tongue an d was usually theofficial interpreter during political conclaves an d other intercourse. He fought on the side of law and order at the disastrous battle o fthe Severn in 1654, when the Proprietary forces were defeated by th eusurping Puritans, with the result that the leaders were captured ,condemned and several shot in cold blood by the insurgents. Someho w hislife was spared, but the Puritan court which sat in judgment fi ned him1,000 lbs. tobacco. When Lord Baltimore regained his Province after despotic rule of about eight years by the local Cromwellians, William Boarman receive d duerecog- nition and on October 12, 1661, was commissioned a capta in of theprovincial militia. In the same year "four men out of Capt ain WilliamBoreman's com- pany" were called for Indian service. O n February 8,1667/8, the Council ordered Captain William Boreman t o raise 20 men outof his company for an expedition against the India ns. By 1676, he hadbeen promoted to major, for as Major William Boa rman, he was ordered topurchase provisions for the army. In the s ame year he was summoned toSt. Mary's City for a council of war whic h apparently resulted in thedeclaration of war against the Nanticok e Indians on the Eastern Shorefor their atrocities. In 1678 he rece ived 2,000 lbs. tobacco for hisparticipation in that punitive expedi tion. At the timeof the radicaluprising of 1689 he held the rank o f major and thereafter was alwaysaddressed as Major William Boarman. Children of William and Sarah Boarman 1. William Boarman, married twice. 2. Sarah Boarman married Thomas Mathews, Jr., and later Thomas Mudd. 3. George Boarman, probably died without issue. 4. Mary Boarman, the Elder, married Robert Green. By 1674, William Boarman had married Mary, the daughter of Dr. Tho masMathews, of Charles County, who held baronial prerogatives on St .Thomas' Manor. Dying in 1676, Dr. Mathews devised his daughter "Ma ry,wife of Captain Boarman" a portion of a 700 acre plantation on th eMattawoman and "Hill Freehold" of 225 acres in St. Mary's County . Shewas living as late as July 1, 1681, when Boarman and "Mary hi s wife noeof the daughters of Thomas Mathews, late of Charles County , Gent.deceased" conveyed to the Hon. Philip Calvert, Esq., and Jane , his wife,for 15,000 lbs. tobacco Town Land commonly called "St. Ma ry's Freehold"on a branch of St. Inigoe's Creek which had been wille d by Dr. ThomasMathews to his son Thomas Mathews, since deceased, an d to his daughterMary Boarman. Children of William and Mary (Mathews) Boarman 1. Anne Boarman married Leonard Brooke. (It is reasonable to assume that there were other children born t oMary Mathews and that perhaps one or more of the daughters whom hi swidow, Mary Jarboe, named in her will of 1739 may have been actuall ystep-daughters. Major Boarman was still married to Mary Mathews i n1681, and by depositions we have the approximate births of his thre eyounger sons, all definitely the issue of the last wife, but if Fra ncesIgnatius was born in 1701, Major Boarman was fully 71 years of a ge.) Before 1687, being again a widower, he married thirdly Mary Jarboe ,daughter of Colonel John Jarboe, a French Catholic from Dijon, Burg undy,who had settled in Maryland and was allied with the conservativ eProprietary Party. She was a maiden at the time her father made hi swill on March 4, 1664/5, for in the insturment he bequeathed his daughter, Mary Jarboe, personalty and mentioned land which had been giv enher by Marke Cordea. In 1687 Major Boarman claimed this land an dprevented a sale of the estate of Mark Cordea by rights of Cordea' s giftto his (William's) wife, when she was Mary Jarboe, thus provin g hismarriage to the Jarboe heiress.
