Hi Everyone, So sorry, I am asking about places to stay in Prince George's County. It was alittle early and I was trying to get the mail out before I went to work. Thankyou for your replies. How far is Annapolis from the Croom area? Does anyone know anything about the Robin Hill Nursery? Are the owners still the Watsons? I am researching Watson and Seger Thankyou Sharon

They must be PGC (Prince Georges County). -----Original Message----- From: Norma Thompson [mailto:nthmpsn@concentric.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 8:11 AM To: MDPGEORG-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Where to stay in PCC Where is PCC? ==== MDPGEORG Mailing List ==== Please do not post list management messages to the list.

Hello Listers I am hoping someone can help me out. I am planning a trip to PCC to trace some ancestors trails. I will be looking in the area of Croom and Bald Eagle Road, and the Robin Hill Nursery. It will have to be an overnight trip and was hoping to find a nearby safe historical town to stay in. Can anyone tell me about the area? I know that Brandywine is close by and a town called Marlboro. I'd like to find a bed and breakfast if possible. Thankyou in advance Sharon in DE

Where is PCC?

I have updated my website and it will be available with the new info Wednesday July 17th after Noon my time, which is Eastern Time Zone. If anyone has corrections or additions that want to add please feel free to email me back at sjtkr@juno.com. Thanks Shirley http://wc.rootsweb.com/~sjtkr

Hello. I would appreciate information on where to look for Court Records on a particular family who may have been in P.G. Co. To be specific I'm after published information. I don't have access to P.G. Co. or Annapolis. I'm hoping there is a book. I know they were in Charles and SMC. Any help on that resource would be appreciated. Thanks, Greg White

There was a Daniel Clark(e) in Prince George's County that died in abt 1841 because there was a lot of property involved in the Chancery Court. If anyone has abstracts of P.G. Co Wills or Adminstration Accounts for a Daniel Clark(e) dying in P.G. County, MD in 1841 can you give me a list of his heirs. Sincerely, Chris Smithson

Does anyone know the parents, etc. of John C. Dillehay who had daughter Matilda Catherine Dillehey b. ca 1811 in Kentucky who married Edward Carrico? Thanks, Charles

Among many things I am trying to do for Dr. Richard D. Mudd, author of The Mudd Family of the United States, is the quest for Thomas Mudd's ancestors. Dr. Mudd has done so much for Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and Mudd genealogy, that I find it would be fitting to repay him by finding the ancestors (parents) he so long has sought. I would like to propose that a group of us, as many as possible, organize and attempt a massive, mutual undertaking of finding this ancestry. Sure, I am personally interested, but so would many of us I believe. My proposal would require volunteers to take a county in England and pursue as many online and offline resources as possible. Inquiries requiring money would not be required, though of course not dissuaded. If one found a resource that required monetary expenses, I would ask that the information be forwarded to me. As membership grows in the newly formed Mudd Family Association, portions of the revenue from membership will be used for this purpose, in addition to my own personal funds. The three primary areas of England that we believe Thomas to have come from include: London, Yorkshire and Suffolk. These three areas might involve more volunteers. I know this may be an unusual approach. However, would it not be interesting to see the results? If any of you are up for this adventure, and could donate some of your time in the next few weeks, please do let me know. Dr. Mudd now resides in Michigan. It would be so wonderful for the community that benefited so much from him, to now provide him with a wondrous gift. I hope to hear from you soon. Charles

Joan- The old handwriting of the letter "s" had a tail making it look like an "f" to us - if that helps any, but you may already be taking that into account. An unfamiliar surname is often very hard to read. Where did you get the 1733 account record? I am interested in getting estate papers (Deakins) from 1744 (about the same time period). I wrote PG Co. Court House as I thought they might have the loose papers (sometimes called estate packets) but they tell me EVERYTHING is at the MD archives Hall of Records in Annapolis.

If it is fs than the f is an s in old handwriting. In other words.

Bill, Your question about Jasper Kennick and when the list of taxables might have been compiled is intriguing. I cannot answer your question with certainty, but, since the majority of the population of PGC was engaged in farming, it seems that the best time to assess taxes would have been after a harvest. Debts were often paid in pounds of tobacco rather than with money. Have you found the accounting for Jasper, Sr's estate or checked land records for evidence of how his estate may have been settled? It seems to me that if the tax list was prepared after Jasper, Sr died, any tax assessment would be to his estate rather than to him personally. It seems more likely that the Jasper in the tax records would be Jasper, Jr. Remember, I am just speculating. -- Carol Askey Maryland USGenWeb Coordinator Allegany & Prince George's County MDGenWeb Coordinator

Aren't the instructions for interpretation the information listed in the front of the book? Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: William Smith <smithwil@esumail.emporia.edu> To: <MDPGEORG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 2:21 PM Subject: The Black Books - 1733 > I would appreciate some assistance in interpreting an entry recorded in the Calendar of Maryland State Papers - The Black Books, p. 39, margin reference 267, II, 115: 1733, Prince George's County. List of taxables in the lower precinct of Mattapany Hundred, taken by Bryan REILY, constable. Personal names in list: * John Brightwell, Edward Boswell, Peter Brightwell, Richard Brightwell, Jasper Kennick, * > > I have listed just the one line of names, of the 14 lines presented. First, is there any significance in the order? Is it reasonable to assume that persons listed near to one another likely lived near to each other? Can anyone provide information for 1733 as to when (what month?) in the year the list might have been made? The issue here is that Jasper Kennick died early in 1733 - we know from the Prince George's County Orphan Court entry for June 1733 where "William Kennick, age 15 next April chooses John Brightwell as his guardian to age 21." Other evidence suggests that William had a brother, Jasper, son of Jasper, who was already 21 at the time of the Orphan Court action. My question, then, is the Jasper Kennick listed in the Black Books, Jasper the father or Jasper the son? Does the evidence available allow us to make any reasonable assumptions on that issue? Any insights will be appreciated. >
