I Believe this Smith family also to be in my line. My first (proven) known ancestor is Marshall Smith (1775-1851), who lived at Smith Forks, near Gumboro. I have certainly tried for years to prove my Marshall Smith to this George Smith. As George & Marshall are both mentioned in this document There are earlier mentions of a "Marshall Smith". There was a Marshall Smith who died in GA in 1817. All of this is from memory of research done over 10 years ago. Im leaving in the morning for a genealogical trip to WV for a week. When I get back, if any of this rings a bell, would like to compare notes.

Teresa, I am also researching a Smith---Archibald Smith who d. 7 Nov 1729, Lewes, Sussex Co DE and left a will. In his will he mentions his sister Mary, wife of Theophilus Simonton (I descend from these two). Archibald had a "cousin" James Smith who lived with him, this James had a sister Jannet. Archibald sounds like he had, living in North Ireland, a brother named Robert Smith (his daughters, Anne Magdalene and Mary); a sister Rachel Curry; cousins James, and Adam Smith. Archibald's wife was Isabella ?__, it sounds like they had no children. Land mentioned in the will was "Begrove" (Belgrove ?) in "Sumerset" Co MD; and Timber Hill in ?-Sussex Co DE.

"Turkey Trap Ridge" patented in 1762 to Thomas Pearson (50 acres) -- the written description (p. 4 of the scans) says it was located "back in the woods from" Indian River, and it was on the south side of a swamp called "Gum Swamp". Indian River was part of Maryland, but is now in Sussex County, Delaware. "Turkey Trap" was discussed here several years ago; some good information was transmitted, including a bit about George Smith. Location of "Turkey Trap" should be somwehere east of Laurel, Delaware.

Naomy, dau of Jeptha and Elizabeth Johnson of Northampton Co, married someone named Maddux by 1718 (per the will of Simon Teague). I'm guessing this Maddux man died (perhaps even before Teague wrote his will) and Naomy became the wife of Alexander Bagwell, whose 1722 will mentioned his wife Neomy and his "son-in-law" Nathaniel Maddux. Does anyone know which Maddux married Naomy Johnson? Was he perhaps a son of the Thomas Maddux who d. in 1713? Does anyone else think this Naomy (Johnson) Maddux was the one who married Alexander Bagwell? Or, am I going down the wrong track? All ideas and comments will be appreciated, Pam Pearson

In doing some research on my family line, I have come across William Carroll being married to Mary Ball. According to research done by Iva Thompson Evans, William Carroll, born 1744/5 in Talbot Co, son of Denton Carroll I, married Mary Ball IV, born circa 1769. They had Nancy Ann Carroll, who married Peter Harrison. In researching some for a friend's family, he has a Sarah Carroll (1785ish), who married Thomas Bridges in Talbot Co. Ancestry records her father as William Carroll and I was at first excited that my friend and I "were related", but as I look I am not certain that this William Carroll is the same as the one in my family. Does anyone have any light to shed on this situation? Are they the same William Carroll? If not, who was Sarah's mother? Thanks for any help you can give.

Also, from Bacon's Laws of Maryland (online at MSA) you could search for specifics about the militia. In your research about Scarborough, if you could determine when you first see him called colonel, then you could research backward and maybe get a sense of his military career. My sense of the militia as it pertains to Somerset and Worcester Counties is that the officers were selected as to their social position.

Judy; I am sorry about not putting some dates to the story. Walter Gibbs bought his marsh from William F. Applegarth who was at one time a State Senator in 1913. The marsh part of the tract of land that was owned by my Great-Great Grandfather was leased to Mr. Gibbs in 1915. The lease was for a term of 10 years. My Great -Great Grandfather Jos. W. Bradshaw died in 1921. The Chancery cases that were filed by Mr. Gibbs against the children and grandchildren of Jos. W. Bradshaw were filed in 1924 and again in 1927. I assume that they wanted Mr. Gibbs off of the marsh owned by Jos. W. Bradshaw. My grandfather and his brother trapped this marsh and that's how they made their winter money. An interesting side note is that the marsh part of this property was sold in 1960 to Mr. Robert M. Carpenter who was from Pennsylvania. Mr. Carpenter (aka R.R.M. Carpenter) also purchased the Gibbs marsh around the same time he purchased my families marsh. According to Dorchester Land records, Mr. Gibbs sold his marsh property to his son William in 1944. The Chancery cases state that Mr. Gibbs was living in Holly Oak in New Castle County Delaware at the time they were filed. I have contacted the Chester County PA. Historical Society about the Gibbs Factory and have had no response, I also contacted the New Castle County Historical Society and was referred to the Delaware Historical Society and got a snippet of information to say that Walter A. Gibbs and his wife Sylvia were living in the Wilmington area according to a 1917 directory. I hope this added information can gain me some leads.
