Hi All, I am confused as to the Robert Mills involved in the following. I hope someone can clear it up for me. I am at my wits end. My question will be at the end. All the proof is up front. Worcester co., MD Orphans Court Proceedings Vol. 1 (1777-1800) by David V. Heise states: April 9, 1782 -SARAH MILLS (of Robert) 4 yrs. Appointed guardian: Josiah Merrill Sureties: Joseph Schoolfield, John Ayres Page 82 F. 317 - Dec. Court 1785 Orphan: JOSIAH MERRILL (of Josiah) 3 Appointed Guardian: James Smith Sureties: George Stevenson, LEVI BALL F. 318 Dec. Court 1785 Orphan: HETTA MERRILL (of Josiah) 5(?) Appointed Guardian: LEVI BALL Sureties: James Smith, George Stevenson P. 83 F. 320 Feb. Court 1786 Orphan: SARAH MILLS (of Robert) 9 Appointed Guardian: NOBLE DRYDEN Sureties: LEVI BALL, John Blades P. 128 - F. 495 Oct. Court 1788 Orphan: Robert Mills (7 July next), Samuel Mills (4 last Oct.) (of Robert) Appointed Guardian: ELIZABETH MILLS (Couldn't write) Sureties: LEVI BALL, Joseph Stevenson P. 219, F 309 June 7, 1796 Court Orphan: HETTY MERRILL (of Josiah), over 14 Chosen guardian: THOMAS MERRILL, SEN. Sureties: LEVI BALL, THOMAS MERRILL p. 256 F. 271 Apr Term 1797 LEVI BALL & ELIZABETH, his wife, guardian to SAMUEL MILLS (DECEASED) P. 256 F 271 - Apr. term 1797 LEVI BALL & ELIZABETH, his wife, guardian to ROBERT MILLS ( of Robert) June 10, 1800 - LEVI BALL & ELIZABETH, his wife, guardian to SAMUEL MILLS ( of Robert) ELIZABETH BALL had a will in Worcester Co., MD F. 163 Written: Aug. 8, 1807 (the day that her husband Levi's will was probated) To son Samuel Mills - land and plantation left me by my father To grandchildren Milla Houston and Betsy Houston - personal property. Executor: son, Gillett Mills My questions are: 1. If Apr. term 1797 Levi Ball and Elizabeth were guardian to Samuel Mills who is marked deceased, why would they still be the guardians for Samuel on June 10, 1800. Why would Elizabeth name Samuel as her son in the 1807 Will that she wrote? 2. I have seen many postings that Ann Dryden, b. 1761, Worcester, MD, dau. of Noble Dryden married 1st Robert Mills and then married Josiah Merrill after 1780. Noble Dryden also had a dau. Elizabeth. The above documentation lists the same children as children of Robert Mills. How can Ann Dryden and Elizabeth ??? both have married Robert Mills? 3. According to the Leslie P. Dryden Records from the NABB - Ann Dryden b. 1761, Worcester Co., MD; died between 1784 & 1786; m. Robert Mills 1771. Robert Mills died May 12, 1780. They had a child Sarah Mills. Ann then married Josiah Merrill and had Hetty and Josiah. Is this correct? 4. Could Elizabeth have taken Ann's children after Ann died? The only problem is that the ages of the children do not match the dates that they could be the children of the Robert Mills who married Ann Dryden in 1771. According to the court documents: Sarah Mills was 9 in 1786 so she would have been born ca 1775. Robert Mills was 6 1/2 in 1788 so he would have been born ca 1782. Samuel Mills was 4 in 1788 so he would have been born in1784. The Robert Mills who was married to Ann Dryden died May 12, 1780. Thanks for taking the time to digest all of this. Were am I wrong? Clare

Mary, If you want to copy something from Google books, there's a selection on the right-hand side that will let you select plain text or the page images. Note: this text is OCR'ed and occasionally garbles things or loses lines, so if you use this, do proofread it by comparing your copied text with the page image. Also, trying to copy more than one page of text at a time can create errors, so copy in smaller chunks. Liz J

Cut and paste, and choose "selection" when you go to print. Elizabeth **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges? Check out WalletPop for the latest news and information, tips and calculators. (http://www.walletpop.com/?NCID=emlcntuswall00000001)

Carole, I know what you mean about all the William Watsons. I believe that Luke Watson was the original Watson settler in this area, but I don't know if my line ties into him or not. I need to make a trip to the archives in Dover but probably won't get there until next year. I am hoping to find something in either the land records or wills that will help identify him. I do have a great aunt that married Ira deWees Townsend in the 1950's. It was a second marraige for both of them. I have seen a Manlove McNatt but he is not in my direct line. I will keep your e-mail on file in the event I find anything about any other Watsons or if I am able to get back beyond William. Who are your Cedar Creek Watsons? Jack W.

I'm sure there's a connection - I just don't have enough data in my tree to connect it. There's probably a common ancestor we share further back in the line. Do you happen to have any Townsends or Manloves going backwards anywhere? If you do, that might help with a connection.

Mary, You would want to check the Pennsylvania Archives. See: PA Arch 2nd ser Vol V http://books.google.com/books?id=skAOAAAAIAAJ& PA Arch 2nd ser Vol VII http://books.google.com/books?id=xnIFAAAAQAAJ& These are searchable by surname, but you might need to exercise "creative misspelling." Also check _The Breviate_ in the Penna Archives. I don't remember which volume that is in, but also found in Google books, I believe --if not, in footnote.com. The Breviate consists of testimony given in about 1736, concerning boundary disputes between the Penn colony and other states. Testators here relate their recollections or knowledge concerningvents in PA and Delaware that took place 50 years before this date, or earlier. Often, elderly people give their birth dates, name their parents, identify place-names and so forth.

Much of Delaware was once part of Pennsylvania, and many Delaware records are still located in Pennsylvania. The ESVA folk turned creative spelling into a very high art form. As far as books, keep in mind that every family on the Delmarva Peninsula is related to every other family, and they all wandered back and forth aimlessly, leaving either no trace at all, or bits and pieces all over the place. You cannot just research one place, you have to look in at least six counties in three different states. Maryland still has some Delaware records lurking in dark corners.

I am not connected to that family, but when at home I do live in Accomack (been out of state for five months due to family illness). I expect to be home next month somewhen, if you would like to email me then for lookups or some other help. In the meantime, I highly recommend that you join GHOTES, check out their site and so on.

Hello, I have a Terrell on the 1880 Census taken for a Jerrell. So yes, some do mistake a T for a J. So I could see that happening with the early writing. But I've also seen different spelling of the common name. Perhaps the accent of the person pronouncing that name.

Hi, In looking at older year(late 1600s) records Accomack Co., VA I noted they referred to Sussex County, Pennsylvania. Also I did see on record with spelled Pennsylvania something like Pennselve(Penn self?) Since I've heard early records could be in the Pennsylvania records how or what books might contain these records??? Is there a book "How to do research in the early,early years of Sussex County, DE"? Mary in Alabama

HI, Some one a way back said to try the Colony spelling for my Culleney family line. Thank you. I now have a new way of looking at my line but need to do more research. While in Alabama archives I looked at Accomack Co and found A book on Revolutionary Soldier and Sailor from Accomack Co., VA "It is ordered to the certified that it appears to the Court by satisfactory proof that James Colony son of George and Samuel Hickman and Polly Hickman, children of Polly Hickman, formerly Polly Colony, daugher of George Colony, are the only heirs at law of George Colony a soldier in the Revolutionary War." 28 Aug 1832. And if the Court items are within the date of the one before or after this next one would be 29 July 1835 and "It is ordered to be certified that it appears to the Court by satisfactory proof that Timothy Colony and Southy Colony, soldiers of the Virginia Continental Line in the Revolutionary War died instate and that Nancy, Sarah and Elijah Colony were their brother and sisters and only heirs at law. - that Nancy is now Nancy Melson. That Sarah married John Parkes and died instates leaving Edmund Parkes, Peter Parkes, Polly Stephens, John Willett, Betsy Parkes, Anna Landin, James Parkes, Sally Churn, Edmund Turnall, Robert Turnall and Sarah Turnall her only heirs. That Elijah Colony (brother of Southy & Timothy) died intestate leaving Caty Colony, ,John Colony, Susan Colony, Comfort Thomas, Henry Colony, Sally Colony, William Colony, Elijah Colony, Thomas Bull, Elisha Bull, Fanny Bull, James Colony, and John W. Colony his only heirs. Another ordered lists more Colony and Satchell family member which have a Sothy name also. What does this mean...Betsy Colony daughter of Ester Satchell(who was devisee of Southy) died instate leaving Zippa COlony, Polly Lewis, Esther Colony, William Colony, Betsy Colony, James Colony and Sukey Colony. I believe this to be a Court document dated 29 July 1835 too. Has anyone any connection to Colony line in Accomack County? Mary In Alabama

Gwen, I'm sorry but Noble is not one of the lines I'm seriously researching. Have you browsed through the years of past messages to this list pertaining to the Nobles? If you haven't recently, you might find something that will give you a new clue to your particular Noble line.

Joe - I was referring to the library collections of the historical societies, as well as DAR and LOC, with respect to having their catalogs on line, not the primary document collections of MD and DE Archives. The MD Archives also has their library collection on line so you can access that. I have not tried to use the DE Archives website except in very cursory way so can't give you much advice about how to use it.
