Joe and List, I have wondered if the name might be Jenet. Perhaps the transcriber took the fancy J for a T? I have come up with the possibility that Tenet may be Jennet Noble, daughter of William. I'm very interested in any or all of the people listed in the following two documents: Sussex Co., DE Wills Prim Name: Samuel Hopkins, Sr., Yeoman Admin Name: Will Made Date: 06 Mar 1741 Will Loc: Heirs Name: wife Tenat Hopkins; sons William and Samuel Hopkins; daus. Marg[a]ret, Ann and Jean Hopkins Exec/Trus Name: friends Archabald Hopkins and Robert Neill Wit Name: William Hopkins, Richard Loucom Will Probate Date: 15 Apr 1741 Will Book: Arch. vol.

Skinner, Jr. Page 97, Gideon Tillman Payments to: Mr Daniel Maccloister, Charles Ballard, Thomas Bardley, and Samuel Hopkins; vol 4, Liber 112 Administration, payments totaling slightly more than 100 pounds Issued Mar 13, 1721. MARYLAND CALENDAR OF WILLS: Volume 3 Noble, William, Sr.,Somerset Co.,8th Mch., 1708-9; 7th June, 1709. To son William, 12 pence. To dau. Jennet Hopkins, personalty.

Barbara, John Lyon, Ellie B .... Thanks for the further comments. At the least, they narrow the search somewhat. The name Janet-Jenet?-Tenet (sort of a double misspelling) had occurred to me early on, but another document or two, referring to "Tenet" or ? is needed to maybe resolve the issue. Barb, do you know anything about the witness Richard Loucum ? If anyone on the list knows where his land was, the hundred where he resided or the church he attended, that would be very useful information.

Barb --- There was a Janet Noble who married a second generation desc (Samuel) of the Samuel Hopkins, spouse Hannah Turner who came to Somerset Co MD c1680. Here's what I have on that Somerset Co Samuel: 1) Samuel and Janet Noble (V12, Col. Families) Hopkins: Children: Samuel; (unk) m Ezekiel Wise; John; Josiah; William. You're probably familiar with that. It was taken from V12, Col. Fams. of the Eastern Shore of MD. Obviously the children of the 1741 Will Samuel and the above children don't match ??

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.
