===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: [email protected] From: "Linda Reno" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] Phillip Norris Hi, I was off running errands yesterday and this morning I'm trying to play "catch up." Not an easy task. After all of this back and forth, I (for one, maybe) have come to the conclusion that the correct Philip Norris is the one born 1754, son of John Norris and Mary Howard. He and his brother, Henry went to KY, probably together. It only makes sense and besides, Philip of Thomas and Mary was still here in the late 1700s. Henry and Henry Elijah Norris were the same man. Eleanor aka Ellen Hagan married (I've seen no proof yet that she was named Mary Eleanor--anybody got anything?) m. John Wimsatt, Henry Norris, and John Downs. I show this John Downs as the son of Joseph (aka Josiah) Downs and Ann Sanner of St. Mary's Co. I truly don't believe the man died at 104 or 108 as some have claimed. He was probably about the right age that was given at the time of the 1850 census. Will of Joseph Downs, SMC, 2/24/1803-3/2/1803. Son: Jeremiah Downs, half of "Abell's Chance" where I now live; one pewter dish; two pewter plates; and one bed and furniture. Grandson: Uriah Downs, the other half of "Abell's Chance." If he dies without heirs, it is devised to his father, Barnabas Downs. Son: Ignatius Downs, "Forest of Dean." If he dies with the sickness he now lays with, the land is to be sold and the money is to be divided among all of my children in this County then living. Son: John Downs, now living in Kentucky, 25 pounds Maryland currency. Grandchildren: Joseph Seaton and Mary Seaton, 25 pounds current money equally divided. Grandchildren: Joseph Norris and Mary Norris, 25 pounds current money equally divided. If they die without heirs, to their mother, Ann Norris. Daughter: Elizabeth Downs, 25 pounds current money; one bed and furniture; one pewter dish; two pewter plates; one iron pot and hooks; and one cow and calf. Son: Barnabas Downs, one pewter dish; two pewter plates; and one cow and calf. Son: Joseph Downs, one pewter dish; two pewter plates; and one cow and calf. Daughter: Henrietta McKinney, one pewter dish and two pewter plates. Children: Ignatius Downs, Joseph Downs, Jeremiah Downs, Barnabas Downs, Elizabeth Downs, Ann Norris, and Henrietta McKinney, the proceeds from the sale of my two negro men named Phil and Peter and from the sale of the residue of my estate equally divided. Exec.: Son, Jeremiah Downs. Wit.: Joseph Gough, William Combs, Elizabeth Dyer. (St. Mary's County, Maryland Wills, 1803-1820 by Linda Reno). Ann Downs, sister of John, married Vincent Norris, son of Clement Norris and Elizabeth Van Reswick and grandson of Thomas Norris and Jane Greenwell (parents of Rodolphus Norris). Barnabas Downs, brother of John, married Elizabeth Frances Greenwell here in 1798 and they moved to Washington Co., KY. Now to catch up on the children of Henry Norris and of Philip Norris. Help???
