    1. [LDR] George, John Lyon re JOHN DAVIS new puzzle/conclusion

    3. ok so thanks to George Riggen we have a deed with a wife Martha for one John Davis: 4Nov1768, recorded 16Nov1768 -- Som. L.R. 25:242 Deed -- John & Martha (his wife) Davis of Worcester Co. sold to Thomas Moor of Somerset Co. in consideration of complying with the condition of a bond executed 14Feb1744 by John Read Junr. who was the former husband of the afsd. Martha and for £8 - 150 acres of Green Meadow; witnessed by Jno. Scarborough, Ad. Spence, two Justices of the Peace; signed John Davis, Martha Davis. However, This John Davis who owned Riley's Purchase: 1753 Indenture (James Truitt was in Bogerternorton in 1740 described as acquango 1783 tax list ) Worcester County Grantor: James Truitt, planter Grantee: John Davis, planter 8 March 1753 9 March 1753 That Lord Baltimore granted to James Truitt all that tract situated on the easternmost side and near the head of a neck called Askincompson Neck containing 200 acres according to Survey dated 10 October 1706. Now James Truitt, son of James Truitt deceased, for 45 pounds, conveys all that tract called Ryley's Portion. Beginning at a red oak standing near a point and on the northernmost side of a branch issuing out of Pocomoke River dividing the land now conveyed from a tract formerly surveyed for John Truitt Before: J. Scarborough, John Purnell Wo Debt book: Davis John Davis Rileys Portion 1755 Due 0-8-0 John Davis sold some of Riley's portion in 1764, after John Davis was married to Martha and while John Davis was living and still married to Martha: 1764 Indenture Liber F folio 105-106 Grantor: John Davis Grantee: Nathaniel Brittingham April 6 1764 Riley's Portion contained 200 acres on the east side of a branch called Tamfett? branch, John Davis sells 9 acres of Riley's Portion to Nathaniel Brittingham. No wife signed the deed. Therefore, I suppose we can conclude that the John Davis who bought Riley's Portion 1753 is NOT the John Davis who married Martha Given Reed Any thoughts? ----- Original Message ----- From: George F.

Martha and for £8 - 150 acres of Green Meadow; witnessed by Jno. Scarborough, Ad. Spence, two Justices of the Peace; signed John Davis, Martha Davis. While John Reed Jr. (and heirs) are listed in the Somerset debt book from 1745 to 1761 with 75 acres of Green Meadow, I have seen no record of how he acquired it, or of the aforementioned bond. And while I don't like to assume (much too risky), it is tempting to consider that this is the same 150 acres of Green Meadow mentioned in John Callaway's 1755 resurvey as having been originally patented to James Givans 29Sep1694. However, proving that is above my present pay grade, and I'll have to leave this one to John.

    1. [LDR] John Davis/John Reed from the tax lists

    3. John Davis of Nanticoke Looking through the tax lists the first John Davis we find in Nanticoke appeared for two years in someone else's household BUT suddenly in 1749 when John Reed had died, a John Davis appears as head of household in Nanticoke with a couple of slaves and he appears to live next door or near Hezekiah Reed: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Year: 1749; Hundred: NANTICOKE; Household Number: 55 Name: Davis, John; Standardized Name: DAVIS, JOHN; Status: HEAD - TAXED MSA No: C1812-23-70258 Year: 1749; Hundred: NANTICOKE; Household Number: 55 Name: Hannah; Status: DEPENDENT MSA No: C1812-23-70259 Year: 1749; Hundred: NANTICOKE; Household Number: 55 Name: Marcus; Status: DEPENDENT MSA No: C1812-23-70260 Year: 1749; Hundred: NANTICOKE; Household Number: 56 Name: Read, Hezaciah; Standardized Name: READ, HEZEKIAH; Status: HEAD - TAXED MSA No: C1812-23-70261 compare slaves: John Davis in 1749 appears to have the same slaves as John Read had in 1747 Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Year: 1747; Hundred: NANTICOKE; Household Number: 61 Name: Read, John jr.; Standardized Name: READ, JOHN; Status: HEAD - TAXED MSA No: C1812-21-65044 Year: 1747; Hundred: NANTICOKE; Household Number: 61 Name: Hanah; Status: DEPENDENT MSA No: C1812-21-65045 Year: 1747; Hundred: NANTICOKE; Household Number: 61 Name: Mereare; Status: DEPENDENT MSA No: C1812-21-65046 The situation remains the same for 1750 and 1751and then poof he's gone. (Note it is in 1753 that a John Davis with no wife perhaps buys Riley's Portion in Acquango/Bogerternorton in the early tax lists). Again in 1756 a John Davis appears in Nanticoke and in 1757 this John Davis has a son John Davis AND there is yet another John Davis in Nanticoke with no dependents. And that is it for Nanticoke. Sadly, the tax lists do not permit us to peek into Bogerternorton after 1740 (where we know there was a John Davis in the family of Robert Davis, Abisha Davis etc.)I'm not sure what this tells us other than what we appear to already know and that is John Davis m. the widow Reed and moved in 1752-3 out of the area of the tax lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:54:17 -0000 (UTC) Subject: [LDR] George, John Lyon re JOHN DAVIS new puzzle/conclusion ok so thanks to George Riggen we have a deed with a wife Martha for one John Davis: 4Nov1768, recorded 16Nov1768 -- Som.
