I descend from John Rencher (d. 1711) three ways: 1.  daughter Elizabeth (1678-post 1729) m. John Grandee-Roberts 2.  son Thomas Rencher (1687-1772) m. Bridget Shiles 3.  son Underwood Rencher (1692-1750) m. Sarah Fisher   Another son, Samuell Rencher, ancestor of Martha Shroeder of this list, witnessed the will of James Ralley on 12 March 1710/1711 (EB9:1) who had a wife Frances and a number of children, including a son William who sold Ireland Eye to my ancestor John Shores in 1713 which Shores sold to John Nicholson in 1724 (GH:160).  Samuel Rencher signed as next of kin on the inventory of James Royle on 22 March 1710/11 (32B:265).    Ralley and Royle are apparently the same man and is also likely the James Rawley who owned Ireland's Eye which I believe is in or near the community of Sharptown. My question to Martha and anyone else is:  Who is James Rawley and why did Samuel Rencher sign as a next of kin on the inventory of his estate?   There should be a lot of Rencher descendants on this list and I hope someone has looked into the identity of John Rencher's wife, Frances, surname unknown to me.  I'm looking at Rawley for a clue.  I thought perhaps Frances was an Underwood considering a son was named Underwood.  Anthony Underwood owned Little Belean because he married the widow of Robert Ridgely of St. Mary's County (d. 1681), but I don't know anything else about him (and haven't looked thoroughly as yet).   Any help or thoughts welcome.  I'm trying to make a list of specifics I need to look up at the MSA in Annapolis sometime this fall.   Thanks, Becky M

Becky,I am off your track and annoying, but can you tell us a little about Sarah Fisher? I know that Phillip and Elizabeth Maddox Fisher had a daughter Sarah speculatively sometime in these 1690's. Is Phillip and Eliz's daughter yours, or is Phillip's daughter Sarah the one who married William Grice/Grace?
