John, Thanks so very much. Yes, I'm still trying to discover where our John Ball came from. It's been a long 35 years which was prior to computers. He was my deceased husband's ancestor. Incidentally, today for the 1st time I found your Somerset Co., MD site. It is fantastic. I never knew about it. I'm sure that many LDR's are not aware of it. Being from PA and now living in FL, I'm really not knowledgeable about the Eastern Shore. Once again, Thanks so very much. I will look it up on the map.

While CHANCE is the most common name given to patents (there are countless such), I assume that you're looking for the one made for John Ball, who was also granted SCOTTS MISTAKE. Both these are south of the Pocomoke River, now in Worcester County. Location: go westward down the Pocomoke River from Snow Hill about 4 miles, then due south from the River a little over two miles. There's CHANCE. About a mile southeast of CHANCE is SCOTTS MISTAKE.

Alan wrote: "Are these indexed at all or only searchable if you know the folio number?" I'm not John, but there is an index to probate records on the MSA website. I can tell you how I am using the Huntington Collection (although I have not been able to find an index for EVERYTHING in the collection). I open a tab in my browser and go to Index 1 ( Probate Records, Colonial, Index 1634-1777 Index 1, MSA S1393) found at this URL < http :// www . msa . md .gov/ megafile / msa / stagsere /se1/se4/000000/ html /index. html > to look up an individual. Warning, though, the search function is not perfect. Sometimes you may have to find the index card for the surname for which you're looking and then browse through the cards to find a specific individual. I then open up another tab and go to the Huntington Collection (John gave the URL earlier for it) and then I can easily go to the liber and folio that is indicated on the card in Index 1. I go back and forth between the tabs as I look up the wills, inventories, accounts, and balances for specific individuals. I hope this is clear. Lisa

Alan - Lisa already provided you with an answer which suggests using MSA Index 1. This is a good way to proceed but a little cumbersome at first since Index 1 is a very large collection of file cards which refer you back to the probate records in the Maryland Prerogative Court (MPC) holdings - wills, inventories, accounts, etc. You can work your way through them alphabetically at the on line website provided by Lisa http://www.msa.md.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se4/000000/html/index.html Be advised that this initially just directs you to a letter in the alphabet, after which you have to work your way through thousands of cards to get to the person of interest. It takes some persistence. If you are looking for a will of Robert Smith in Worcester County, the Index works its way through all probate records of all Robert Smiths in all Maryland pre-revolutionary counties in alphabetical order, so the Robert Smiths of Worcester will be mear the end of all Robert Smith entries. Keep in mind also that Index 1 only lists the decedent and not other persons appearing in MPC probate records, so if you are looking for an ancestor who appeared only as a legatee or witness in a will, or the next of kin on an inventory, he/she will not show up as such in Index 1. An easier and more thorough way to proceed would be to use the Maryland Calendar of Wills compiled by Jane Baldwin Cotton and Ed Wright, if you just want to look at wills, and the inventory and probate accounts abstracts of Vernon Skinner and Debby Moxey, to cover the entire collection of the Maryland Prerogative Court records. These have surname indexes in the back of each abstracts volume which will lead you to the will, inventory or account of interest, so you know where to look for it on the Huntington microfilms. These are available in genealogy libraries and some local county libraries in Maryland. The best way of all is to get a copy of FTM CD #206, "Maryland Probate Records, 1674-1774." It has all of the above on a single CD with a unified, searchable index. With this one CD you have a single index to all names appearing anywhere in all of the MPC records - wills, inventories and accounts - and an abstract of each and every MPC probate document. A fabulous resource. Unfortunately Family Tree has stopped making it, so it is hard to come by. John Polk Havre de Grace ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.R.

I have been puzzling over this for a while and since I noticed that George Layfield Holland was in your descendant tree on Ghotes, I thought you may have more details on this family. What is puzzling me is this: "1818, Feb 10: Noah Holland (father) guardian to Wm., George L. Samuel and Smith H. Holland to give counter security to Samuel Smith Horsey and Samuel Cohoon his sureties. Surety Wm. Williams" Samuel Smith Horsey is one of my ancestors. I notice that two of the children are named "Samuel" and "Smith H.". It sounds as though Noah Holland's wife (which you have as Nancy Layfield) died by 1818 and there were legacies for these children. I can't see any reason for this Noah Holland to have named two children Smith H. and Samuel unless there was some connection to the Horsey family - but perhaps I am over-complicating things. Samuel Smith Horsey was born about 1789 and died around 1826. His wife was Mary Wheatley Schoolfield and his father was Smith Horsey (of Samuel and Ann). Thanks in advance for any insight. liz
