Hi Eve: Let me answer your question. I am not researching that particular area (MD), B U T , what you have may be the very thing that someone on this list may need to make a connection. The best advice here is that if you come across any COMPTON info, immediately post it to the entire group...don't think twice about it...do it. If you think it might be a data duplication, do it anyway; better to see it twice than not at all. You are in the very corridor where many of our ancestors arrived in this country, how could your information NOT be valuable? As a researcher with information, Eve Kinney is valuable and so am I, and so are all the members of the list, B U T only if we ALL share our information with the rest of the group. Eve, please post your information, and thanks for your first three words "IS ANYONE RESEARCHING". Charlie Charles S.

John Compton (b.ca. 1780 Eng. - d. 12 Dec 1847 Baltimore, MD) and wife Mary Ann Seymour (b. May 1787 Eng. - d. 21 Apr 1880) came to Baltimore between 1810 and 1820 with at least one child, daughter Ann (b. 29 Aug 1808 - d. 19 Sep. 1884). Am trying to locate John's English origin. The Seymour descent is from Bitton, Glos. via Plymouth, Devon which may be a clue. One family reference gives John a middle name of Bliss, but it is uncertain how accurate this could be. Any direction is appreciated. Henry Sutliff

Is anyone researching the Compton family of early Charles Co, MD? Eve

Tim, I am a descendant of James R., son of Ebenezer and Ailcey. I have some information on them and their children. How can I help you? Sharon

Compton researchers, William Compton, born about 1622, was at Gravesand, Long Island, NY, in 1645 in Lady Deborah Moody's colony. William had 2 sons, John and William Jr. William Jr., married Mary Bowne(1720-Nov.9,1768), and William Jr. moved from NY to NJ in 1666. William and Mary had 4 children: Judith, Cornelius, Richard and Jacob Compton. My line, Cornelius, was born about 1672, and married Elizabeth Stout in 1694. Cornelius died in Monmouth Co.,NJ, in 1750. Cornelius and Elizabeth had 6 children in NJ. William was one of Cornelius' sons, and he married Jane Brown about 1738, and they had 3? children: Mathias, William Jr., and Catherine. Mathias, my line, married Catherine Green, Nov.2,1765, in NY?. Mathias and Catherine had 2? children: Ebenezer Turrell Compton, born Sep.3,1772, and Jane. Ebenezer married Ailecy Hopper on May 6, 1794 in Henry Co.,VA. Ailecy was born 1771 in Henry Co.,VA. I think Ebenezer and Ailecy, moved to NC, and then to KY. They lived in the Adair/Russell Co.,KY area, and had 9? children there: Jordan, Eleanor, Nancy, Mary(Polly), Bethel, Patsey, Julia (aka Inda), James R., Martha?. If any one has any information, I have lots of blanks. Thank you, Tim Mattingly

Looking for information on William Compton, who married Elizabeth Hilliard. They had at least two children, William, Jr., date and place of birth unknown, and Susanna, who was born in 1811 in Henley, Oxfordshire. They may have also had a son Joseph. Susanna married Charles Strange in 1831 in Langley Marish, Buckinghamshire. She was a resident of the parish at the time of her marriage. They later lived in High Wycombe. William, Jr. married Elizabeth ____. Their children were born in London begining in 1835. He was a pianoforte maker. I don't know where William Sr. and Elizabeth Hilliard were married, but it wasn't Henley. Any suggestions welcome. Heather Olsen holsen@wam.umd.edu

While English has one of the most expansive vocabularies among languages, one area where it is easy to notice its impoverishment is in words to describe relations. When you introduce a bright young fellow as your brother-in-law, you don't really tell much. He could be any of the maybe half dozen people in your kinship. On the other hand, many languages have words to describe even the most complicated relation concisely and unambiguously. In the Hindi language, for example, there are distinct words to spell out all possibilities of brothers-in-law, and in some cases, there are separate words depending on whether the bro-in-law is younger or older than the person through whom this relationship takes place. At any rate, one English term that doesn't leave any room for equivocation is mother-in-law. It anagrams to: Woman Hitler.

I am holding an 1877 Laurens County, SC Probate Court document referencing the estate of Sarah Compton. Her maiden name was Owens, with siblings Thomas and Mary. They were the children of Mary Owens; the father is not named. Mary (the mother)died intestate and Joseph Nabors was appointed guardian of the children and received a small legacy belonging to the children. Joseph Nabors then died intestate, and his wife Polly Nabors was appointed administratrix. An S. L. West then became the legal guardian of Sally Owens and filed a petition and order for accounting and "to show cause" to Polly Nabors as adx. of the estate of Joseph Nabors, reference the sum of money or property due Sally Owens (who was by then, Sally Owens Compton). This document shows connections for the Owens family, history for the Wests and Nabors, and I would like to know what Compton line she (Sally Owens) married into. And some say this hobby is boring ! ! Charlie Charles S. Compton 466 Roberts Circle Lincoln, Al., 35096

Hello fellow Compton researchers. I do not get to talk much with y'all, but I have looked through my info. Can anyone help me with below.

Hi Cousins: I have just finished a two week study of the microfilmed minutes of the Church my ancestors attended. (I assumed they attended this particular Church as that was where a few were buried). This particular Church's records (Langston Church, Laurens Co., SC) went back to 1832 and spanned into the early 1900's. I ordered the microfilms to be sent to my local library on what is known as an "inter-library loan". Your local library knows all about how to do this. I have learned more about my ancestors and their neighbors from those records than I can describe. I learned history, customs, law, and better yet, I now see these faceless ancestors as real people, with hurts, feelings and even grudges...just like you and me. I saw the handwriting of my G G Uncle, who was the clerk of the church (the person who wrote the minutes), slowly degrade over the years as he was elected repeatedly to this job. Back then, worship was a big part of a families' life. If you aren't sure to which church your ancestors belonged, pick a few close by where they lived and order microfilm records for all of them. Look through the films and see if you find your surname. (I can about guarantee you it won't be indexed). I strongly suggest that you have a look, there's no telling what you'll find. This has "pumped" a tremendous NEW life into my genealogical research which was getting stale, boring and seemingly, fruitless! Do yourself a big favor and find what church your people attended and order those records ! Then, SHARE SHARE SHARE ! Charlie Charles S. Compton 466 Roberts Circle Lincoln, Al., 35096

I am unable to access the website mentioned but am looking for information on the family of a Martha Compton who married a James Durham in Green Co. KY. Apr. 23, 1801. Martha Compton was the daugher of Merideth Compton and Elizabeth. I do not know her maiden name. James Durham and Martha Compton is said to have had five sons and two daughters. Three of the sons are verified. There was a Joel Durham born in 1803, Samuel Merideth born in 1805 and a James Holloway Durham born about 1813. If Comptons out there could give me the names of the other children or any other information on Merideth Compton's family it would be greatly appreciated. Alice Durham-Van Wey

Thanks to both Doris & Charles for your further messages as both of your replies contained additional info that I don't have in my notes.

There are those who disagree that this Archibald is s/o John & Elizabeth's son Archibald but there is no doubt in my mind as my great-grandfather George William COMPTON's oldest bro Dr John Patrick COMPTON b1826 lived to almost 100 & wrote about his grandparents Archibald & Sallie COMPTON. Archibald COMPTON was b1759/1760 & in list of John/Elizabeth's children Micajah is named earier so assume he born prior to that date (sometime between 1750-1760). Therefore, I think he can be excluded as being Micajah who Charles says is in Laurens Co,SC 1820 census with wife & 5 small children, but it is certainly possible this Micajah b.ca 1780/1790 is descended from John/Elizabeth's line. Charles mentions John COMPTON married to Elizabeth Board but I'm not aware of this couple & wonder where they married??? Yes, there are several points which are sticklers to all of us, Charles, but by all of keeping in contact & exchanging data each of us has, I think there is a chance of unravelling more of this mystery.
