Hello I am new to the list... seeking information on the slaves in the CARROLL family that connect to the CHEWS. Harriet Chew who married Charles Carrol Jr., and Anna Maria Chew who married Lord William Johnston in Maryland. Charles Carroll of Carrollton's son Charles married Harriet Chew -- a listing of his estate can be found here... but it is not complete. I believe Harriet is the daughter of Benjamin Chew. http://www.gunstonhall.org/probate/wdmdelsl.htm I am also interested to know if Harriet or how Harriet may be related to Anna "Nan" Maria Chew who married Lord William Johnstone. Anna Chew is the daughter of Larkin Chew..and I wonder how Larkin and Benjamin Chew are related. For those of you who are interested there is a new book on the market called: Princes of Ireland, A Carroll Saga, 1500-1782; Here's a review of the book by the William and Mary Quarterly. reviewed at http://www.wm.edu/oieahc/WMQ/Jan01/Hoffman&Mason.pdf Additionally, you might be even more interested in the forthcoming 3-volume set it references: Dear Papa, Dear Charley: The Peregrinations of a Revolutionary Aristocrat as Told by Charles Carroll of Carrollton and His Father, Charles Carroll of Annapolis, with Sundry Observations on Bastardy, Child-Rearing, Romance, Matrimony, Commerce, Tobacco, Slavery and the Politics of Revolutionary America. It's not out yet, but you can pre-order it via University of S.C. at Chapel Hill and Amazon Books etc. There is also an older book printed in about 1942 by Ellen Hart Smith called Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Haven't been able to find a copy locally. I have followed the Anna Maria Chew and William Johnston relationship all the way to Bunceton, MO where my ancestors were slaves on a place called Ravenswood. My ancestors were owned by William H. Johnston m. Margaret Hutchinson. Margaret's parents were William Hutchinson and Margaret Hickman Hutchinson.. and all their children were born in Paris, KY and numerous members of the family moved to Pittsburg, PA. [When William died, she received interest in his slaves via revisionary interest and her brother James purchased the slaves and sold to her new husband Nathaniel Leonard.. who is the founder of the Ravenswood Plantation.] William H. Johnston's father was Capt. William H. Johnston who married Rachel Spears. [Her parents were Elizabeth Ewalt and Jacob Spears]; the Capt.'s father was Robert Johnstone who married Margaret "Peggay" McClanahan...but it looks like her also married Ann Cook and an "Overton." Peggay's sister Clara married David Hickman -- Margaret Hickman Hutchinson's father. [See how the ties stay close]. Robert Johnstone's father is Lord William Johnston who married Anna Maria Chew. It appears from some web research that Lord William was also married 2 or three times. I have will and probate records on young William H. Johnston who married Margaret Hutchinson.. they came to Boone Co., MO -- and there are also records for William's siblings and his mother Elizabeth. I believe Jacob Spears may have records in KY. As far as the Carrolls are concerned, I got pissed off at my councilman who campaigned on his "famous ancestors" who signed the Declaration of Independence [Charles Carroll] and Daniel Carroll. As I did a little research I discovered that they were not only the richest family of their time, but owned the most slaves; and the marriage of Charles Carroll son to Harriet Chew... caught my eye... knowing that I had a CHEW in my research. I'm also reading the new book by David McCullough called "John Adams" and both Benjamin Chew and Charles Carroll of Carrollton get mentioned. There's another interesting book out called Founding Brothers which also adds some perspective to the dealing of America's founding politicians. See online.

I also have Chilton, Tutt and Chism ties - that I believe pick up through some of these early Colonial families.

Hello Traci, There is a very extensive listings of Charles Carroll the Settler, (married 1st Martha ____ Ridgely Underwood and 2nd Mary Darnall) With Mary Darnall, their children were Charles Carroll of Annapolis, Charles (died), Charles (died), Henry, Eleanor (died), Bridget, Anthony, Daniel Carroll of Duddington, Mary & Eleanor. Charles Carroll of Annapolis married Elizabeth Brooke, and their only child was Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Charles Carroll of Carrollton married Mary Darnall (niece to the first Mary Darnall?) and their children were Elizabeth, Mary, Louisa Rachel, Charles Carroll of Homewood, Ann Brooke, Catharine & Eliza. This list does not address Charles Carroll of Belle Vue. The book Princes of Ireland, Planters of Maryland - A Carroll Saga, 1500 - 1782 by Ronald Hoffman in collaboration with Sally D. Mason is an excellent source of information. It discusses at length CC the Settler's will, who handled it and what was done and why. It also lists why some lists are not complete and why, then goes on to tell the rest of the story. I bought my copy at Powells Books, the worlds largest reseller of books in the world. Located in Portland OR, they have an extensive collection and most likely can get you a copy. They had mine on the shelf. Fascinating book and extremely informative on the Charles Carroll's. Good Luck! Traci Wilson-Kleekamp wrote: > Hello > > I am new to the list... seeking information on the slaves in the CARROLL > family that connect to the CHEWS.
