This is interesting. Mention of the will also appears on a web site: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~evekinn/Compton_1.html (It might not still be active and it is not a primary source). I do note that there is a statement in my database that son John died 1714 and son William, apparently not mentioned, died March 1725. The latter was the one who married Mary Clarke, daughter of Thomas Clarke and Ann Barber. Absence in the will of the father is not necessarily absence of a living presence on the earth! - Bye from Bill Howard On Apr 10, 2007, at 6:33 AM, [email protected] wrote: > I found a will for a John Compton 5/29/1713; 3/5/1718, mentions > sons John & Matthew. > Wit: Philip Briscoe, Sr., Susanna Briscoe & John Farfax > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: "Norma Lundgren" <[email protected]> > >> Do you have some data that Samuel was the son of John?

Hi,List, Thank you to everyone for all of the help and info. The two William and the two Mary Comptons that I have in couldn't be the same couple. I have one William in 1721/22 with wife Mary, second William in 1725/26 with wife Catherine, and Mary Compton mentioned Jan 1727/28 by her brother John Clarke. The two Williams are in Charles County, and Mary (Clarke) Compton is mentioned in St. Mary's County. I have a John Compton married to Mary Clarke, d/o Robert (the state surveyor) and Eleanor Clarke. I can't find any data to support that connection. I have a Mary Compton, sister of John Clarke, mentioned in his Jan 1727/28 will. She is the d/o Thomas Clarke and Anne Barber. Thomas was another one of the sons of Robert Clarke, this time by his second wife, Winifred. I have that this Mary was married to William Compton, though I have no data to back up his given name or his connection to the previously mentioned John Compton. There is this deed which shows one William Compton with wife, Mary: p. 199, Charles County Land Records, Volume III Liber H#2, Page 486 29 Mar 1722; Recorded at request of John Chunn, Jr.: 8 Mar 1721; Indenture from Wm. Compton, planter, to John Chunn, Jr., planter; for 10,000# tobacco; a parcel called Brotherhood containing 800 acres; bounded by Eagleton, land of Edward Swann and Wm. Compton; wit. Jno. Briscoc, Sam. Chunn, Jon. Fendall; 8 Mar 1721 Wm. Compton and Mary his wife ack. deed; John Chunn paid sd. amount of tobacco. But the 1725 probate documents for William Compton show a wife, Catherine: Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin; Winter 1984 Vol 25 No 2; Charles County, MD: Probate Records and Inventories Part I 1673-1753; [The first number is the page or folio number for the beginning of the document (spelling is as read) (the date is that of the Inventory) Charles County Maryland Probate Records, Inventories, Book 1717-1735 168: William Compton decd 30 Mar 1725-Kenn Adam Weavour, William Compton, nearest of kin Catherine Compton admx.

I've seen people combine these two Charles County William Comptons into one, and then combine the two Mary Comptons into one, but that doesn't work. I've never seen the documentation, but I've seen statements that in 1724, Luke Clarke, son of Thomas, sued his step-father, Matthew Guibert, for his inheritance and won it for himself and sister, Mary. Perhaps that is where Mary' husband is named. I appreciate all of the effort to help me sort this out.
