List -- I'd like to call your attention again to the following abstracts recorded in the VA Patents. Please notice William METCALF, Joseph Jackson and GEORGE BRENT who owned land in Kentucky very early. Either the typist entered the wrong county for Joseph Jackson or the early geography permits Fayette County and Jefferson County to join at this point. [I've used these VA Patents for years and errors are not uncommon. Researchers should check several points to verify]. Here are the abstracts: JACKSON, JOSEPH Publication 5 August 1785. Location: Fayette County (Ky.). Description: 500 acres on the waters of the North fork of Licking Creek on the south side thereof adjoining land of William Fitzgerrald, WILLIAM METCALF and GEORGE BRENT.

Description: 5008 1/2 acres between the BEACH FORK and CHAPLAINS FORK on Long Lick Creek and the Five Mile Creek adjoining GEORGE BRENT and Abraham Sylvia.

Location: Jefferson County (Ky.). Description: 500 acres on the north side of the BEECH FORK adjoining JOSEPH JACKSONS survey. Source: VA Land Office Grants Z, 1785-1786, p. 653 (Reel 66). Now, please look at Abraham Buford, 1785, above, again; here's another abstract for him .......... Buford, Abraham. Publication 2 December 1785. Location: Lincoln County. Description: 1000 acres on the north west side of Scrub Grass Run being a branch of the north fork of the ROWLING FORK OF SALT RIVER. Source: Land Office Grants S, 1785-1786, p. 577 (Reel 59). You can see that Abraham Buford is recorded as being on Rolling Fork of Salt River, above. GEORGE BRENT seems to disappear from the area; did he die or move? Does anyone have anything on George Brent in Jefferson County or Nelson County??? Can this be the same George Brent recorded earlier in Hampshire Co., VA --- where the Combs are located?

This is a better explanation. They must have shared a border. In 1777 Fincastle County, Virginia's General Assembly divided Fincastle County into three parts and created Washington, Montgomery, and Kentucky Counties. The act creating these counties described Kentucky County as being "to the south and westward of a line beginning on the Ohio at the mouth of Great Sandy creek and running up the same and the main, or northeasterly, branch thereof to the Great Laurel Ridge of Cumberland Mountain, then south westerly along the said mountain to the line of North Carolina." In 1780, Kentucky County was divided into three counties -- Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln. Within just a few years, six more counties had been carved out of those three. Between 1784 and 1792, people living in those counties held ten conventions on the question of statehood; on 18 December 1789 Virginia's General Assembly passed an act allowing Kentucky to apply for statehood and on 1 June 1792, those nine counties became a state, with the full consent of Virginia.

Hi, Mary, I'd be interested in a transcript of John Jarboe's will that specifically state's Elizabeth was single. In the abstract, she is just called "Elizabeth" and no surname or marital state mentioned. Do you or anyone else have a transcript that they could post? I would surely appreciate it.

John Jarboe's will specifically states that Eliza was not married at the time he wrote his will in 1704. Therefore, it does not make sense to me that this Eliza(beth) Jarboe was the wife of George Medcalfe (who according to info below died in 1702). If so, she should have been named by her father as Eliza Medcalfe, or Eliza Davis if she had already remarried Samuel Davis by 1704 (possible, but unknown). Since this is a direct line for me (James and Elizabeth Gough), I am really trying to sort through what we know and what we don't know. Mary Kraeszig Even more snippets from Todd Whitesides and Mike Gough's exchanges on Genforum a few years back (Todd's statements/arguments): ----------------------------------------------------------- James Gough's wife Elizabeth was born ca 1682 [aged 28 on 28 Sept 1711 (date of a deposition--see below)], and had been married to (1) George Medcalfe (d. 1702) and (2) Samuel Davis (liv. 1707) previous to her marriage to Gough. Elizabeth Jarboe (d/o John Jarboe) was unmarried at the time of her father's will (1704), and our Elizabeth [who later married James Gough] was already a widow by this time.

Hi Mary,   If I'm reading this correctly we are confusing several Elizabeths. If the data we're seeing here is correct, James Gough did not marry Elizabeth Jarboe at all. Instad he married Elizabeth NEVITT d/o John Nevitt and gd/o Richard Nevitt after having married previously George Medcalf and Samuel Davis.   This is also cited in Todd Whitesides's passage where he quotes Dr. Lois Green Carr as listing James Gough's wife as Elizabeth Nevitt, widow of George Medcalfe, in her notes at the Archives of Maryland.   As you say, Elizabeth Jarboe d/o John Jarboe and Sarah Joy was still single in 1704 and now that we have discounted James Gough as a husband we have no additional candidates at present.   Don --- On Sun, 2/1/09, Mary D.

George Medcalf who married Mary Abell d/o Katherine Abell Some web pages claim that Mary Abell was born 1 Jan 1795 , Nelson, Kentucky and that she was the daughter of Ignatius Abell and Christina Katherine POLK The web pages go on to say that Christina Katherine POLK was the daughter of Edmond POLKE and Mary FULTZ And That Ignatius ABELL was the son of Peter ABELL and Lucy CARMAN. Lucy Carman married 2nd to Thomas POLK, brother of Edmund POLKE who married Mary FULTZ. There seems to be a problem though when they claim that this same Mary ABELL married George MEDCALF. Either her birth date is wrong, or same Mary Abell did not marry George MEDCALF. We do know that a Mary Abell (had a Mother Katherine ? ) and that she married George MEDCALF son of John Kenelem MEDCALF and Winifred PAYNE.

So My thinking is that The Mary ABELL born 1 Jan 1795 , Nelson, Kentucky, is either a wrong date of birth, or it's not the Mary ABELL who married George MEDCALF.

If Elizabeth Jarboe indeed married James Gould, I  - wouldn't she be marring her step-uncle.  Is that not correct ?  If so, that raises eyebrows in anyone's book, and is somewhat contrary to Catholic edict.

Elizabeth Jarboe (d/o John Jarboe) was unmarried at the time of her father's will (1704), and our Elizabeth was already a widow by this time. Our Elizabeth had no known children by her first two husbands, both of whom owned the tract "Rocky Point" in Newtown Hundred which had been patented in 1652 to Richard Nevitt. John Nevitt was Richard's son and senior heir, and it appears that he gave that tract to his daughter's first two husbands as dower lands. After they died without issue he repossessed it and sold it on 11 May 1715 to William Maria Farthing and James Wheatley. After two marriages Elizabeth would have acquired enough property that her father would not have to provide a dowery for her. A possible explanation for James Gough owning part of the Jarboe tract is that he was a son of Mary Tattershall Jarboe Gough who had a partial claim to the Jarboe tract as part of her widow's dower. Also, in 1708 James Gough was also named as a trustee for the children of his half-brother Henry Jarboe. Another possibility for the appearance of Jarboe land in the Gough family is that John Nevitt's other daughter, Ann, was the wife of Peter Jarboe and after his 1698 death served as his executrix. She and her newborn child died later that year and her father, John Nevitt of Newtown, assumed administration and the estate remained in his possession. Perhaps he gifted part of this land to his daughter Elizabeth's family. Respected historian and writer, Dr Lois Green Carr, also lists James Gough's wife as Elizabeth (Nevitt), widow of George Medcalfe, in her notes at the Archives of Maryland. In spite of the difficulty of establishing the identities of John Nevitt and Richard Nevitt, I do feel confident that James Gough's wife was most likely Elizabeth Nevitt.

Elizabeth Jarboe (d/o John Jarboe) was unmarried at the time of her father's will (1704), and our Elizabeth was already a widow by this time. Our Elizabeth had no known children by her first two husbands, both of whom owned the tract "Rocky Point" in Newtown Hundred which had been patented in 1652 to Richard Nevitt. John Nevitt was Richard's son and senior heir, and it appears that he gave that tract to his daughter's first two husbands as dower lands. After they died without issue he repossessed it and sold it on 11 May 1715 to William Maria Farthing and James Wheatley. After two marriages Elizabeth would have acquired enough property that her father would not have to provide a dowery for her. A possible explanation for James Gough owning part of the Jarboe tract is that he was a son of Mary Tattershall Jarboe Gough who had a partial claim to the Jarboe tract as part of her widow's dower. Also, in 1708 James Gough was also named as a trustee for the children of his half-brother Henry Jarboe. Another possibility for the appearance of Jarboe land in the Gough family is that John Nevitt's other daughter, Ann, was the wife of Peter Jarboe and after his 1698 death served as his executrix. She and her newborn child died later that year and her father, John Nevitt of Newtown, assumed administration and the estate remained in his possession. Perhaps he gifted part of this land to his daughter Elizabeth's family. Respected historian and writer, Dr Lois Green Carr, also lists James Gough's wife as Elizabeth (Nevitt), widow of George Medcalfe, in her notes at the Archives of Maryland. In spite of the difficulty of establishing the identities of John Nevitt and Richard Nevitt, I do feel confident that James Gough's wife was most likely Elizabeth Nevitt.

Oh Don - What a way to start a Sunday. This is a generation in my lineage that I have more question marks than answers. Did we ever clarify that Claire was a Baldwin - or was she actually a Cissell? I do have this James as the son of Stephen Gough but, to be very honest, I have put him under Stephen and his first wife Mary Tattershall and I've done that strictly on the basis of what dates I have. I have James born about 1676-1677 and Mary Tattershall Gough's death in 1677. I have often wondered if she died from the effects of child birth but that is only speculation. I also carry the marriage of Claire (whatever her maiden name might have been) to Stephen as about 1680 but lack adequate proof to say that definitively. I do have a pointer in my notes to a message Linda sent to the list in 2006 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MDSTMARY/2006-04/1145036103 I'm not sure Claire's identity was ever fully resolved. It looks as if this might be a good Sunday project. Anyone? I am as curious as Don is. donald drury wrote: > Dear List, > > Would like to clear up some confusion about Elizabeth Jarboe (1683 - aft 1728). > > 1.

Don, As far as the Jarboe question. There were only 3 Jarboe Males likely that was of age during that era. Henry, I - John, II - Peter.  the latter no surviving issue, Henry list no Elizabeth in his 1698 will The only & first Elizabeth Jarboe on record that we know of - was the daughter of John Jarboe, II and Sarah Joy, of which fits the time line of your post. I have no death death date nor marriage for her.  We know she existed because of the John Jarboe's 1704 will.  The will indicates that she was single in 1704 and we seem to think they she is likely near here early teens.

Linda is totally correct. Everyone with an interest in St. Mary's County history &/or genealogy ought to be a member of the St. Mary's County Historical Society. Even if you never get to Leonardtown & never visit the place, your dues are helping preserve the history of this important "settlement gateway." You will benefit from the "Chronicles" - really an excellent publication on local history. But more importantly, you will benefit from knowing you have helped to preserve the history & records of St. Mary's. Of course, while you have your checkbook out & are writing the HISTORICAL Society a membership check, write out a second and join the GENEALOGICAL Society! :o) You ought to be a member of both - both groups are working in parallel - NOT conflicting- channels for the same purpose.
