Francis, Calvert Co., MD; 1696
I am not researching these people, just entering information which I hope will help someone.From the booklet "Prince George's County, MD Land Records 1696-1702" is the following:
"Francis Billinger, planter of Calvert County, let to him and Ellinor his wife, by lease for ten years; they not to be disturbed during the term of the lease; after the decease of Thomas Davis and Honnor his wife, land to go to their eldest son Thomas Davis 'My Godson,' to him and his lawfully begotten heirs; but if he should die without lawful issue, then land to revert to said John Browne or his heirs. Signature; JOhn Brown; Wit. Edward Willett, Archable Edmonson, William Powell; Recorded: 29 August 1696, Vol. A, p.4."
I did not see another listing for this surname in the index.
