Don, I have been trying to learn of any possible relationship between Ignatius and William Drury, and my Nicholas Brown (father of Benjamin Brown) , but without success. We know that these Drury men, were not husbands of Nicholas Brown's daughters.

Just found another marriage for Fortuna (Watson ?) Mitford MD State Archives Vol 57, Perface 47. An account of a John Morecroft.comments pertaining to his former indentured servant William Champ " Champ who died in the latter part of the year 1668, was then referred to as a phytitiam of St. Mary's County (pp119, 120,122, 126), 130) He (Champ) probably incurred the enmity of Morecroft by marrying Fortune, widow of Bulmar Mitford, who had been a patient of Morecroft. Fortuna promptly consoled herself by marrying a very short time after Champ's death, a third husband Marmaduke Semmes (p 358) Mary Ann Shoemaker

I thought I sent the info about that. The archives are in error -- made an assumption without enough evidence. Notice the comment on marriage is made in the PREFACE of book 57, not the transcription of documents. They also got William Champ's death year wrong in that comment. In addition, she is called, in that same volume page 344, "Fortune Mitford" as late as 7 Jul 1668. Fortuna didn't marry William Champ. He made her the exec of his estate, reason unknown. Champ, William, St Mary's Co., 8th Oct., 1667; 13th Dec., 1667. To Eliza: Forrest, eld. dau. of Patrick Forrest, personalty. Fortune Metford, execx. and residuary legatee. Test: Andrew Bashaw, Richard Berkitt. 1. 302. Archives of Maryland, Volume 57, Provincial Court Proceedings, 1668. Preface 47; MEDICAL. The Provincial Court proceedings contain fewer items of medical interest than do the county court records, but some references are worth mentioning. John Morecroft, the leading member of the Maryland bar at this period was a physician as well as a lawyer. We find him practicing medicine in Virginia in 1664 before coming to Maryland (p. 26). In what seems to have been a splte suit and one which he lost, Morecroft, after losing an earlier suit for defamation against his former indentured servant, William Champ, who had called his late master a "Cheating old Knave", sued Champ for an accounting at the October, 1666, court. In this latter suit Champ declared that he had been "imployed [by Morecroft] in the Art & mystery of Physick, as his servant by Indenture". Champ, who died in the latter part of the year 1668, was then referred to as a "phytitian" of St Mary's County (pp. 119, 120, 122, 126, 130). [NJL note: this next sentence is in error. He didn't marry her, just made her his executor.] He had probably incurred the enmity of Morecroft by marrying Fortune, the widow of Bulmar Mitford, who had been a patient of Morecroft.

Tom - This is an interesting article even though it seems to mix some of Joseph's tavern properties and locations. Joseph Simms/Semmes was indeed a well known taverner in the Washington area and indeed did run a tavern in Georgetown around 1799 but by 1804 he leased the building that was known as the Rhodes Tavern in Washington City. William Rhodes moved his establishment to a hotel that had been constructed by William Lovell and Simms took his place across the street from the Treasury department on F street. Simms renamed the establishment the Indian King and was there for about three years before being forced to sell off his furniture and other goods to pay his debts. About May 1805 according to a newspaper advertisement Joseph M. Semmes and Joseph Semmes disolved their partnership and the Inn on F street was renamed the Columbia Inn. The next thing we know there is a Joseph Semmes and the Indian King resurfacing a short time later back in Georgetown. All this begs another questions - which Joseph Simms/Semmes is this or are there more than one? His legal papers are signed as Joseph M. Semmes. He is described in at least two well thought of histories as a relative of Ann Simms Clarke Rhodes - the wife of William Rhodes, formerly of St. Mary's. However there is a problem. Her father Joseph Semmes died intestate on December 28, 1798 and the next likely candidate - her brother Joseph Milburn Semmes (married to Elizabeth Mudd) supposedly died in 1804 according to probate documents. His son Joseph allegedly died abt 1818 in Kentucky - not the 1832 described in this article. There was yet another Semmes family in Washington during this time period - the family that spawned Rafael Semmes, but I have yet to really come up with anything that shows a lot of interaction between the two families and that Semmes family is known more as merchants and shipping folks than as innkeepers. I would be indebted to anyone who could sort the Joseph's.

Good morning, There was a Semmes tavern in Georgetown, originally City Tavern under Clement Sewall and had many name changes including Semmes Tavern which was run by Joseph Semms. I know is was Semmes tavern in 1799. Try this site.www.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2001/07/16/focus14.html
