I meant to reply to this but time got away from me. Natalie Montgomery Baker of Washington, Indiana thoroughly researched the lineage of Peter Montgomery, and all of her research is on microfilm at the Family History Library of the LDS Church. She was descended from Joseph Montgomery. I concur with Shirley Moller that Peter Montgomery Jr most likely never married. No record has ever been found (to our knowledge) to indicate that Peter Jr married and had children. If there is any new information out there on Peter Jr, I hope whoever has it will share it. Especially if there are direct descendants. Bear in mind that of the 12 children born to Peter and Margaret Montgomery, there were 2 sets of twins, and Elisha (the first) b. 1743, died in 1766; Ignatius died in 1777 and apparently Anne Mary and James Henry died bef 1777. Peter Montgomery and first wife, Catherine ____ had six children. Here is the abstract of the will of Peter Montgomery, the Immigrant: Montgomery, Peter Charles Co.

Here is some additional information from Bob Alvey, another researcher on this family: In Higdon Newsletter # 268, there are two interesting items on Margaret, the second wife of Peter Montgomery. This information was submitted and transcribed by a Rosemary Smith Dawood who lived in Chicago, IL at the time but who I understand currently lives in Scottsdale, AR She notes that Katherine Unknown, the first wife of Peter Montgomery died prior to 1737 and Peter married Margaret Unknown. Twelve children including two sets of twins were born to Peter and Margaret. On June 26, 1739, Susannah Montgomery was born, she married an Unknown Higdon and was living in 1773 at the time her mother, Margaret wrote her will.

Mary Louise Donnelly--"Charles County, MD, My Colonial Relations Plus Others" page 212 says Peter Montgomery born about 1684 in France, was in Maryland by 17 Jul 1712. On 1 Dec 1716 he leased a tract of land near Bryantown, Maryland from Joshua Guilbert for 700 pounds tobacco yearly. Peter stated his age as 52 on 26 Dec 1736 (Deed T#2:296). Peter Montgomery and his two sons (Francis and John Baptist) were naturalized in 1727 (Archives of Maryland XXXVIII:415): "Peter Montgomery, a native of France and his children already born, that is Francis and John Baptista Montgomery, were naturalized by an Act of the Assembly in 1727." ****** June 1743 -- Peter Montgomery, an old and infirm man, is set levy free for the future. Pg 7 Charles County, MD Court Records 1743 ***** Notes from Pauline Stubbs: John Baptiste and Francis, born prior to Peter's being naturalized, also needed to be naturalized. Peter came to this country -- in my notes from Natalie Mongomery Baker- she has the date as 1694. So if he was 52 years old in 1736, then he was born 1684. So he was not likely to have had children at age 10. But he was not naturalized till after those two were older, in 1727 so these would be the only two males that were not automatically covered by their father's naturalization. ****** Notes From Pauline Stubbs: Peter first m. Catherine abt. 1708; Peter didn't marry Margaret till 1736 There is information out there that says both wives were possible Hagans but John Hagan feels neither one can be a Hagan because Thomas Hagan, the Immigrant didn't have either Catherine or Margarert as a daughter. The Rev. Harry Hagan compiled the book on Thomas Hagan and the information only goes to 1850. ****** Information from Calvin Dorris: Peter Montgomery made a disposition that he received land from the deceased Thomas Hagan on 29 Dec 1736 at Charles Co., MD. He left a will on 16 Jan 1752 at Charles Co., MD. his estate was probated 26 Dec 1754 at Charles Co., MD. ****** >From the files of Natalie Montgomery Baker: It is believed that Peter Montgomery's son Francis Montgomery born in Charles Co, MD, since Peter and Catherine Montgomery did not marry until 1708 in Charles Co, MD. Peter died at age 72 soon after birth of his son James Henry in 1754; married Catherine ? abt 1708; married Margaret ? at age 54 abt 1736 - information from Natalie Baker's records on microfilm at the LDS FHL in Salt Lake City.

I was filing some miscellaneous research my father did in 1976 and found a summary sheet he filled out from the 1800 census of Charles County. In the Port Tobacco records, he found a Mishich WEDDING household. The household included 2 "free white males" under 10; 1 "free white male of 16 and under 26" and 2 "free white females of 16 and under 26." This name appears nowhere in my records. Of course there are a number of people enumerated by census records that I do not have names for. If anyone has names of parents, spouse, or children for Mishich WEDDING, please let me know. Thanks, Ken Wedding

Hi, Norma and List, I don't think there is a biological connection or even one of marriage between the Joseph Gwinn I think you meant (b.1699 and m 1727 to Elizabeth Yates) and the Howards. The times are coincident, however, with the death date for William Stevens Howard. They were probably friends. There were at least three Howard lines in Maryland in the colonial days - the Matthew Howard line (that possibly connects to royalty in England), the John Eager Howard line (he was the Revolutionary War hero of Baltimore who appears in the Maryland State's Anthem (... Howard's warlike thrust! ....), and my line that I fondly call 'the poor Howards', starting with Edmund Howard, father of William Stevens Howard. Edmund probably came from London or Bristol and there is no proven parentage for him. I am hoping that DNA testing might reveal where he actually came from and what his English line leads to. Just some thoughts. William Stevens Howard was my 6G Grandfather. - Bye from Bill Howard On Mar 22, 2007, at 2:05 PM, Norma Lundgren wrote: > Hi, List, > > Does anyone know how the Gwins and the Howards were connected? > There are these > two porbate entries that offer tantalizing hints that they were > connected and I > can't make sense of it. > > The first is an accounting for George Groves with John Gwinn as > Administrator > and shows "daughters" being due payment from the estate of Edmund > Howard. > > The second shows Joseph Gwinn as surety of the estate of William > Stevens Howard. > > I might simply be getting too old to make the connection when I see > it, but > whatever, I'm not making it (grin). > > Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin Fall 1985 Volume 26 Number > 4; Charles > County, MD: Probate Administration Accounts 1708-1738; Extracted > from the > microfilm by Carol Gehrs Mitchell. > 80.

Hi to all, The reference to Berry reminded me of interesting names and connections. John Perry, son of Thomas, married Miss Berry. They named a daughter Margaret Elizabeth Berry Perry b: May 17, 1790 in Charles County, MD and she married Thomas Price on October 24, 1811. They named a son John Thomas Berry Perry b: in Charles County, MD d: in Alexandria, VA and he married first, Elizabeth Perry, dau. of William Perry and married 2nd another Elizabeth Perry, dau. of Edmund Perry and Jane Henrietta Dunnington. Then, for the Perrys that moved on to KY, we have Francis [Frank] Berry Perry, son of William Jackson [Buck] Perry of Anderson County, KY and Francis married Nancy Searcy on September 18, 1844 in Anderson County, KY. Bonjour & SMILE, Don

Like Norma...I have nothing realy on John Hanson (Jr), son of John Hanson & Elizabeth (Hudson?)Tyler Massey. I have him born abt. 1757...but maybe abt. 1739 is closer.

Hi, List, Does anyone know how the Gwins and the Howards were connected? There are these two porbate entries that offer tantalizing hints that they were connected and I can't make sense of it. The first is an accounting for George Groves with John Gwinn as Administrator and shows "daughters" being due payment from the estate of Edmund Howard. The second shows Joseph Gwinn as surety of the estate of William Stevens Howard. I might simply be getting too old to make the connection when I see it, but whatever, I'm not making it (grin).

Shirley, Dave, Tom, et al -- I need clarification... Richard H. Berry is not the same person as Richard Berry Sr who married Rachel Shipley, correct? Was the Richard who married Rachel born in Prince George's Co, MD?? Who were his parents? I have this info: Richard H.

This JOHN HANSON born ca 1739, son of JOHN HANSON and ELIZABETH TYLER would fall in line with the following Loudoun Co., Va. records ; (1) EDWARD TRAFFORD, ESQ. of Liverpool against GEORGE HARDY, JR. and WILLIAM HARDY, SR. in 1762 in Loudoun for not paying their debts. LUKE MARBURY and ANN BEANE were witnesses. (2) EDWARD TRAFFORD, ESQ. against GEORGE HARDY, JR. and WILLIAM HARDY, SR. A JOHN TYLER was a juror in the trial.

Then in 1770 my WILLIAM HARDY and wife SARAH had a deed in Loudoun naming son HANSON HARDY with my 5th great grandfather SOLOMON HARDY, JR. (1746/9-1824).

The only John Hanson born about that time was the son of John Hanson and Elizabeth Tyler. The net often erroneously gives Elizabeth's maiden name as Massey because her mother married Henry Massey. Following is a law suit that shows Henry Massey actually had no off-spring and wasn't in the line of the Masseys already living in Maryland and Virginia. I estimated that John Hanson as being born 1739 and I don't know what happened to him. p. 142, TLC Genealogy, Prince George's County Land Records 1746-1749, Liber EE#1 Page 653. Power of atty, recorded at the request of John Hawkins Jr & Luke Marbury. I, Roger Whichcoat Massey of Pata in Lancaster County, Britain, Gent, eldest brother and next heir of Henry Massey, late of PG, merchant, sends greeting. Whereas the sd Henry Massey, having executed his will dated Feb 17, 1712/13, in manner and form following (viz) I, Henry Massey of Liverpool in Lancaster County, goldsmith, being well in body and of a sound mind and memory and mindful to take a voyage to sea, ordain this my will: first, all my debts and funeral charges are to paid out of my temporal estate, and the rest of my estate I give to my brother, Roger Whichcote Massey, whom I hereby appoint my executor, the rest of my personal estate, goods & chattels, and I make him my executor. Signed Feb 17, 1712/13. Witnessed by Robert Whittle and Randle Wardle. And whereas the sd Henry Massey, on or about Mar 23, 1746, died somewhere in Maryland, and without issue, and was at the time of his death, entitled to several houses, lands, and plantations in Maryland and Virginia or some other places in America, and also then had ready money, debts owing to him, working slaves besides young ones, goods in his store, divers cattle, and other goods, wares, and merchandizes of a considerable value. And whereas since his death, Elizabeth Massey, his widow and relict, has taken out letters of administration and possessed herself of all the sd personal estate and effects and also entered upon the real estates and recd the rents, issues, and profits thereof, as by her letter from Maryland dated Jul 26 next after the death of her husband to one of his relations living in the County of Chester in Great Britain, she has signified that she is entitled to one moiety or half of the sd real and personal estates and effects after debts owing by the sd Henry Massey at the time of his death are paid off and that his next heir is entitled to the other moiety or half or to the like purpose. And whereas by sd letter, she pretended that her sd husband had left his accounts and affairs in a very confused manner and promised to get the same settled as soon as possible, and then let his next heir know what his share would be of the sd real and personal estates and effects, yet she has not hitherto sent any particular account or in what place the estates and effects lie or the values thereof, or what debts were owing by him at the time of his death (if any) or what was owing to him. And whereas the sd Roger Whichcote Massey, on the death of his sd brother (as he is advised) became seized in fee or otherwise, well entitled to two third parts of the sd several houses, lands, and plantations, or some other share thereof, and of the rearstep(?,) in fee of the other third part of the sd several houses, lands, and plantations, expectant on the death of the sd Elizabeth Massey (who claims to hold the same during her natural life) and that he, as executor to his sd brother by his sd will, is well entitled to some of the sd personal estate herein before mentioned. Now know that the sd Roger Whichcote Massey appoints John Hawkins Jr and Luke Marbury, both of Piscattaway in PG, Esqs, power to enter upon two third parts of the sd several houses, lands, plantations, and other, the sd real estate, or into any other part whereof sd Roger Whichcote Massey became entitled to on the death of his sd brother, and also to enter into and upon the other third part of sd real estate after the death of the sd Elizabeth Massey, which he is or shall be entitled to, and to take the profits of the same for his use, and lease or sell all his share to the sd real estate, and to receive the rents, issues, and profits of the sd real estate afd. Signed - Robt. Massey. Wit - Thomas Goodaker, James Simpson, Francis Meban, Willm Nobler, T Worsley. This deed was ack. by sd Roger Whichcote Massey before Joseph Clegg, Mayor of Liverpoole. PG, Jun 27, 1749. Then came James Sympson and Francis Nobler and made oath that they saw Roger Whichcote Massey sign the within power of atty. Roger Whichcote Massey of Preston in Lancaster County in Great Britain, Robert Whittle of Liverpoole in sd County, Gent, and Thomas Worsly of Preston afd, Clerk, to the sd Roger Whichcote Massey severally make oath as follows, and first, the sd Roger Whichcote Massey says that he was the eldest son and heir apparent of Edward Massey, late of Rosthern in the County of Chester, Gent, decd, and the eldest brother of Richard Middleton Massey, Henry Massey, John Massey, Samuel Massey, Mary Massey, and Ann Massey, who were the sons and daughters of the sd Edward Massey, says the sd Mary is now married to Mr. Peter Hall and the sd Ann to Mr. Lea, and that the sd Henry Massey, many years ago, was put out an apprentice to Mr. Benjamin Braccher, a goldsmith in Liverpoole, and after he had served out his apprenticeship, he was mindful to go beyond the seas, but before he set out, he applied to his brother, this deponent, to lend him a sum of money to equip him "for his intended voyage, which being advanced for him, he entered into bond with a condition for repayment thereof, whereon is now due to this deponent, between 30 and 40 £, says that after the sd bond was so entered into by the sd Henry Massey, he wrote and sent a letter from Liverpoole dated Feb 17, 1712/13, directed for this deponent at Preston, and in sd letter enclosed a writing purporting to be his will, duly executed, now in this deponent's custody, and further says that soon after the sd letter and will were sent to him, sd Henry Massey sailed from Liverpoole, and, as this deponent has heard and believes, arrived at Maryland, where he was afterwards married, and there followed the business of a merchant or factor until the time of his death, which happened about Mar 23, 1746/47, after his having acquired some real and personal estate in that Country, as this deponent has also been informed, but he knows not the particulars or the value thereof. And this deponent, Robert Whittle, says that for several years, he knew and was well acquainted with the sd Henry Massey when he lived at Liverpool, before going beyond the seas, and is well acquainted with the sd Roger Whichcote Massey, and he believes the will of sd Henry Massey is in the proper handwriting of sd Henry Massey, and the sd letter, dated Feb 17, 1712/13, sent to this deponent by sd Henry Massey as afd, is also in the proper handwriting of sd Henry Massey, the letter being as follows, viz, Liverpoole, Feb 17, 1712, Dear Bro, after thanks for all your favours, with a great many wishes for your health and prosperity, this will inform you I'm now just going on board in order to leave England, and I've here sent you what I promised (God send us a happy meeting) I am in haste, your affectionate brother, to serve you whilst, Henry Massey, and further, this deponent, Roger Whichcote Massey says that by a letter dated Jul 16, 1747, purporting to be sent from Maryland by Mrs. Elizabeth Massey, widow and relict of the sd Henry Massey, which came to this deponent's hands on about Sep 12 following, he had then notice and not before the death of his sd brother and that she had taken out letters of administration of his effects, but of what value or how fair she has acted as admx, this deponent has recd no account from her or any other person, and this deponent, Thomas Worsly says he was by and present and did see the sd Roger Whichcote Massey sign, seal, and execute the letter of atty hereunto annexed and to attest the due execution thereof, this deponent subscribed his name as one of the witnesses thereto, and says the same Thomas Worsley so subscribed is this deponent's proper handwriting, and that he saw the other persons subscribe their names as witnesses. Sworn to in Liverpoole on Feb 21, 1748/49 before - R Massey, Robt. Whittle, T Worsley. Wit - Joseph Clegg, Mayor of Liverpoole. Recorded Jun 27, 1749.

Shirley, The will of Barton Warren that you sent does not mention a daughter Susanna born 1741. I find this daughter listed in Christopher Johnston's article in THE MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE, Dec. 1910 and also in family papers. She left a will in 1796 so was living when Bartin Hungerford died. Also living when Jane Warren Hungerford died in 1795. According to what I have, she did not marry. Her will was dated March 18, 1796 (Liber AK No. 11, Folio 373, page 200) I thought I had this will, but can't find it tonight. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks for any help. Anne Johnson

Marianne, I'm trying to research my McConchie line back to MD and have Hanson connections. I'm looking at many lines in all this. Don't know if any of this relates to yours but maybe it could be a lead so I'm sharing. (These are "rough" notes for myself that I keep in my surname files.) Amanda Richard Beale & Sarah Cowles d/o James 4/24/1816 Thinking this Richard Beale must connect with this John Beale of MD? John Beale 2/1/1733 4/27/1751 Maryland Abstracts of Wills Bequeaths to: 1. Johanna Catherine Beale-wife John Beale-son (Gives land and slaves. Said if son John refuses to look after widow's share then testator's friend Samuel Hanson will handle.) 2. Richard Beale-son (of Essex County, Virginia) (left him 2 cows and calves and 1 mare and colt. If something happens to son John, then land goes to Richard.) Witnesses: Joshua Allford John Lewellen William Theobald (Was Theobald a Fauquier name?) Charles County Gentry by Newman, p.259 Beall /Hanson mergers and see name Elgin with Marshall. Cawood names relate to McConchie. John Beall Hanson, son of Samuel, was born in CC. His wife was Elizabeth, dauther to Philip and Priscilla (Marshal) Marshall. Phillip Marshall by his will proved in CC on May 1, 1815 referred to daughter Elizabeth Hanson and her children (unamed). A daughter Pusy Hanson was an heir in the will of her aunt Mary Cawood. (Martha Sheid who had daughter, Eleanor, married Theodore Dent. Martha ended up marrying a Benjamin Cawood so don't know if these Cawoods connect?) In July, 1817, John B. Hanson and his wife Elizabeth, of CC, received certain property by deed from Richard Marshall Scott, of Bush Hill, VA. The deed specifically state that Elizabeth Hanson was the daughter of Philip Marshall, deceased, and that James Elgin Marshall, late of CC, had died intestate and appointed Richard Marshall Scott the guardian of three children--Anne Douglas, Robert and Eleanor Douglas. Other grantees in the same deed were Priscilla Price Marshall, widow of Philip Marshall; John Marshall, son of the said Philip and Druscilla Price Marshall. Charles County Gentry by Newman Lieut. Henry Massey Hanson, Gent Henry Massey Hanson, son of John and Elizabeth (Massey) Hanson born perhaps in CC, MD. Father deeded him money in the presence of Joseph H. Harrison and John Dent. Took Oath of Fidelity on March 1778. On December 223, 1776, Henry Massey Hanson leased to James Russel Schwester a portion of property...event witnessed by W. B. Smoot, Walter Morris and Timothy Carrington. Then it goes on to say that on May 21, 1794 he (Henry) bought from his brother "Samuel Hanson of John of Culpeper County, VA but at present in Charles County" for a consideration of ...a portion of "Greenland"

The JOHN HANSON in Loudoun County,Virginia I am seeking information on had 1 tithable in Loudoun in 1760. If you have to be of age this would possibly make his birthdate ca 1740 or so ?? Marianne Dillow [email protected]
