William Grimes and his wife Joyce arrived in the Provence of Maryland in 1663, listed as for "service". In 1667 they were listed as "transported" for the credit of Edward Dorsey. William witnessed the will of John Sison 1663 in Anne Arundel County. June the following year two properties on the south side of the Severn River were surveyed for William; "Bruton-Grimes" of fifty acres jointly with John Bruton and "Grimeston" of 100 acres in his name. Eight years later in 1672 two more parcels of land were patented to William. The first of these was "Grimes Addition" and the second was "Friends Choice" patented jointly with Nicholas Shephard. William and Joyce were the parents of three sons; William born 1664, John born 1666 and James born 1668. William's will is dated March 25, 1676. His widow Joyce marries their friend Nicholas Shephard. Any assistance with primary or secondary documentation of this line and it's extension to Joyce's surname and/or William's parents greatly appreciated. Always happy to swap files. Walt
