Right - that's what I found also but as we know Rebecca Yates married Cornelius not Thomas. Rebecca Barber - wife of Thomas Barber is listed in 1765 as Next of Kin to Joseph Chunn along with Mary and Henry Morris (son of Thomas Morris who died in 1747). In 1726 Joseph Chunn is listed as NOK with John Branson to John Price. A Mary Morris was witness to the will of John Branson who died in 1770 (the one with all the children who I believe is the son of Michael). Henry Morris and Thomas Barber were surety to the estate of John Branson with will dated 1769 (I found a land record indicating he was dead earlier). This John Branson was born October 1683 and youngest son of the immigrant Thomas Branson. Cornelius Barber was one of the witnesses to his will. I believe this John had first wife Ann. John Branson, Ann Branson and Cornelius Barber witnessed Harmon Clarke's will in 1733. In 1729 there was a payment to John Branson from the estate of Frances Clarke. Mary Rose Clarke's (wife to Francis) will in 1738 was witnessed by John Branson. According to what I have read John Clarke had sons John, Robert, Benjamin, Frances and daughter Ann. If John Branson married Ann Clarke, that could explain the above. In my Branson later lines I have Absaloms, Hezekiahs and Zachariah Lyon. I'm trying to piece this all together. I also have long lasting relationships with Yates, Nevill, Hutchinson, Mankin and other lines in St. Mary and Charles Counties. And wherever the Bransons migrated the Brisco family seemed to migrate with them. -----Original Message----- From: mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jerry L.

Just found this record and I think this may be the husband of Elizabeth Chesley: 8/18/1755: BOS from George Parker of CC, Gent. to Richard Piles of PG Co., Surgeon. Sd.

George Parker was married to Elizabeth Hutchinson. widow of William Pile of PG Co. Elizabeth Hutchinson's sister, Ann Hutchinson was m. to Gabriel Parker III, widower of Elizabeth Ann Greenfield, and he was a brother of Elizabeth Parker, first wife of John Chesley.

Linda Reno, I have been trying to make since of this discussion, but apparently I don't have much of this in my data base or else it's incorrect. You stated: I have two wives for John Chesley (1703-1767). The first being Elizabeth Parker as has been stated and that she was the mother of Elizabeth Chesley who m. ____Pile and Benjamin. I have Elizabeth b. 1728-1732. Linda, I only have one John Chesley in my data base and that John CHESLEY married Elizabeth CLARKE daughter of John Attaway CLARKE and Hannah DE BUTTS. I have no dates on this John CHESLEY to know who he belongs to. Perhaps this John Chesley is a son of the one you are discussing.

I have a question about the land known as "Cannough Neck" and "Canoe Neck"-- I saw in the latest discussions how the Chesley's had "Canoe Neck" land. I am very interested in this and the trail of this tract of land. I saw on www.stmarysfamiles.com how it went through several families beginning with Thomas Truman through Samuel Wood (d. 1758 SMC). How did Samuel Wood come into this land? It was held by an Anne Neal and Mary Lancaster before him. Who were they? Later, George Davis come to this land and why did James Suit buy it with a same day "reverse deed"? I know it was in the latest 1700's--does anyone have the exact year when James Suit bought "Canoe Neck", 100 ac. from George Davis (reverse deed same day). If anyone knows more about this land trail and the Davis/Suit transaction, plus **What happened to the land after the "reverse deed" and where the trail went after this "reverse deed"--I am very intersted.

Thanks for what I consider confirmation. For some reason, I didn't have the admin. accts. of John Chesley dated 5/9/1768 in which he's named NOK of John Chesley. Also, Richard Pile didn't marry Elizabeth Greenfield, daughter of Truman Greenfield and Elizabeth Parker as she married first, John Cartwright and second, John Hammett. This takes us full circle and back to the admin. accts. of George Greenfield, 1/2 brother of Elizabeth Chesley and full brother of Elizabeth Greenfield. 11/7/1751: Admin. accts. of George Greenfield, SMC. Sureties: Baptist Barber, John Burroughs.

Also a tract of land called Jones Plantation, containing about 50 acres. Also, a tract of land, Belts Purchase, containing about 50 acres. And also a tract of land called Copes Hill, containing about 40 acres. Therefore he, the sd Edward Sprigg, for 140 £, sells to Richard Pile, all those 2 tracts of land, the one called the Second Lott, being deducted out of the land called the Beginning & Ryleys Folly & near or adjoining to Collington Branch, bounded by the land lately laid out for John Turner, the land of John Demal called Something, then to the Back Branch and to its mouth, containing about 130 acres; the other, called Copes Hill, lies on the east side of Collington Branch in PG near Samuel Brasheirs Mill, bounded by a tract of land called Brock Hall, containing about 40 acres.
