Joni, the Simontons in Maine were marriners, but Theophilus Simonton was definitely a farmer. They had indentured servants in PA. One servant ran away and the Simontons ran ads in the newspaper about him. When the Simontons, Thorntons and Allisons moved to NC, they were on the buffer edge between the established East coast and the Indians. Land was so much cheaper in NC than in PA. When they discovered they did not actually own the land in PA, I think they had heard about good land in NC, and moved there; instead of staying in PA and paying for the land again.

Thanks everyone on your take on the word yeoman. I think Theophilus Simonton (I) was proud of the fact that he farmed his land, himself. So many came from Europe who had been nothing but share croppers, they did not OWN their land, only had the right to work it, someone else actually owned it. They must have given a percent of what they raised to the person who owned the land. Those who came to the colonies wanted to own their own land.... My husbands ancestors came from Germany to the Republic of Texas, after sky high taxes bankrupted them, they did not own the land, only had a right to work it. We think the three families, the Simontons, the Thorntons and the Allisons lived in a row, next to each other. There must have been a lot of help from each other. When they moved to Rowan co, later Iredell co., in the Statesville area, they again had land next to each other.

Jackie, So, here are all of the definitions! Did they live close to the water? If not, maybe he was a farmer, although most farmers listed themselves as such. So?

>From Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary: "Yeoman, noun 1. a common man, or one of the plebeians, of the first or most respectable class; a freeholder; a man free born. A yeoman in England is considered as next in order to the gentry.The word is little used in the United States, unless as a title in law proceedings and instruments, designating occupation, and this only in particular states. But yeomanry is much used. 2. An officer in the king's household, of a middle rank between a gentleman and a groom. 3. In ships, an inferior officer under the boatswain, gunner or carpenters, charged with the stowage, account and distribution of the stores. 4. A name or title of certain soldiers; as yeoman of the guard." Yeomanry also sheds some light: "Yeomanry, noun The collective body of yeoman or freeholders. Thus the common people in America, are called the yeomanry." Being only some 70 years removed from the will in question, but after the break with England, definition 1, or possibly 3, is probably what is meant in the will. Freeborn as opposed to slave or maybe bond-servant. Jay Thompson just an old genealogy nut too tough to crack. ________________________________ From: Joni Rabena <joni@mcburney.ca> To: jhelmke@sbcglobal.net; lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, January 1, 2013 1:06:56 PM Subject: Re: [LDR] yeoman Hi, Jackie I always thought yeoman had something to do with the sea.

Happy New Year to all! My brick wall needs help tumbling down. Does anyone have info on this family? Thanks! James L or S Wallace b. abt 1780, will proved 15 Apr 1842 Sussex Co., DE & filed Dorchester Co., MD. (Dorchester County wills burned in courthouse fire). According to his daughter Rebecca Eunice Wallace's Bible, her mother was Margaret ____, who was James Wallace's first wife. James Wallace married on 1 Apr 1839 to Frances K. Bell. Think Frances Bell's Bell surname is a previous married name, as there were Kirkman children living with her in 1850 Census. Looking for parents and birthdate and place of James Wallace, and maiden name of wife Margaret and who her parents were. All info very much appreciated! xxBetty. schulzegs@aol.com

Hello everyone, I've subscribed to this list for quite a while, but have never posted. I was hoping that someone might have some information to shed some light on my genealogical mystery. I'm am looking for information on the connection and origin of the following Ellises who lived in Wicomico Hundred, Somerset County, Maryland: Edward Ellis b. abt 1710 Francis Ellis b. abt 1712 Joseph Ellis b. abt 1718 d. 1785 ( married Esther -- I have information about him, I am looking for a possible connection to these other men) John Ellis b. abt 1718 William Ellis b. abt 1720 I believe that these men are connected because they are all listed, at one time or another, as dependents in the household of Charles Hill in the SOMERSET COUNTY COURT (Tax List) 1723-1759. Birth dates above are estimations based on when they first appeared on the tax lists, which would have been 15 years of age. Excerpts below: Edward Ellis 1724-1725, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill Francis Ellis 1727, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1728, Listed as a dependent in the household of Thomas Anderson 1729-1731, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1733, 1735-1737, Listed as head of household 1738, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1739-1740, Listed as head of household Joseph Ellis I 1731, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1734-1740, 1743-1755, 1756-1757, 1759, Listed as head of household John Ellis 1733-1734, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1735, Listed as a dependent in the household of Thomas Todvine 1736-1738, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1739-1740, Listed as head of household William Ellis 1735-1738, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1739, Listed as a dependent in the household of Francis Ellis 1740, 1743, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1744-1745, Listed as head of household 1746, Listed as a dependent in the household of Charles Hill 1747-1754, 1756-1757, 1759, Listed as head of household These records, as well as John Nelms Store Accounts, lead me to believe they were related, though I can find no other definitive connection. I also don't know what the connection was to Charles Hill. I would love any information you might have! Erica Ellis

Sorry,  I found Isaac's birth date in the De.Bible Records, Vol. VII 1956 p. 137 listed as June 16, 1811. In there this Isaac is the son of Eli & Rachel Rickards. Good Luck, Beverly

I have some leads but not absolutes! In the will of Eli Rickards 1832, he leaves his property to Wife Rachel, sons William, Job, James, Isaac, Stephen, Kendel and daughters Hannah & Mary. In the census of 1860, Isaac 54 is listed w/Mariah 54 & Charles 30 & Mary 1 also Hiram 30, Sarah 24, Annalis 3.( Hiram, Sarah & Annalis are in a different household in 1870) In the 1870 census, Isaac 64, wife Mariah 64, Charles 39, Mary 11 are ahown. Since Kendel would have been 44 in 1860 & Stephen 46, & all living in Balt. Hun, Sussex Co., De, this may point to them being brothers.     I hope this will help you find more about Isaac. I have more info about Eli and his line. Good Luck ,Beverly Wilson

Drumond aged 40 years: About the end of February at Capt. Richard Hill’s house, Drummond was selling some goods when Wm. Browne came and asked if Drumond would take a parcel of tobacco. Drumond let Browne have some goods valued at 120 lbs of tobacco, which Browne later brought to Drumon’s house. It was mostly very good, large tobacco that his wife said she had saved without her husband’s knowledge. She had hidden part of it under her bed and part in a chest. Signed 18 May 1675, Jno. Drumond. (p.292) pxiii: John Drumond was selling some goods at Richard Hill’s house when William Browne came and asked to have items valued at 120 lbs. of tobacco, which, it turned out, had been stolen. Accomack County Court --21 June 1692 An acto of Parliament enjoined “all Protestant dissenters from the Church of England to signify to the quarter sessions where they live, the places of their meetings to perform divine worship. In obedience to which act, we the people commonly called Quaker, do hereby inform all persons concerned that we do constantly meet on the first day of the week, called Sunday, at our meeting house built for that use near Gilford in this county and on the fifth day of the week called Thursday either at the house of Sara Coe, widow, or at the house of Georg Johnson, deceased, and our montly and quarterly meetings at the house of the said Geo.

Accomack County Court -- 2 February 1696/97 Mrs. Mary Hill sued John Drumond for 3880 lbs tobacco, a “large fat hog” and four hides.
