Hello Mary, I can't really help you with Betsy (Rebecca) CONWAY as I do not have that much CONWAY/CONNAWAY information. I can tell you that it was John CONWAY (Son to Philip) of the County of Worcester, Planter, who sold the tract called "Spicers Purchase" to Joseph MARVEL on August 6, 1771. The deed was recorded in Liber H, f508-509 of Worcester Co., MD land records. The deed explains how the land was granted unto John SPICER on October 17, 1760. John SPICER conveyed the land (no date given) to Philip CONWAY, who died intestate and was father of the grantor, John CONWAY. John CONWAY was probably not married at the time as no wife appears in the deed. Happy Hunting, Nanette In a message dated 12/20/2008 11:17:53 P.M.
