Below is what I have on Sarah Turner: 1710: Sarah Turner, the midwife who had delivered the three children of Kenelm and Mary Cheseldine testified that they were man and wife because "the said Cheseldine particularly was at the birth of the second and seemed very fond of the child and (Mary)...Cheseldyne called her his wife and took care of her as such and owned the children". (Marriage and Family by Lorena S. Walsh, "The Chesapeake in the 17th Century"). Will of Michael Curtis, SMC, 7/13/1716-7/19/1716.

Bladen, Esq., Thomas Bordley, Esq. Mentions: wife (unnamed, dead). Distribution to: Samuel Davis. Adm: William Brewer. Although this last account clearly has the name as Michael Whillis (I looked at the original), I wonder if they weren't actually referring to Michael Curtis.

Hello. According to most researchers, it was Sebastian Thompson I (as I recall, d. 1742 in SMC--son of Arthur Thompson) who is thought to have married Charity Bailey. It was his son, Sebastian Thompson II who is thought to have married Elizabeth ________ Hayden (Widow of Francis Hayden). I have never heard of Francis Hayden having a first wife but, of course, he could have--multiple spouses happened most of the time and, again most of the time, we don't know about the existence of all spouses. I would doubt that Elizabeth was "Elizabeth Ann." As Linda has pointed out--and, I guess she is not interested in this discussion (oh well)--most individuals did not seem to have had middle names in those days--hence, for example, "James Thompson of Basil." Hope this answers a couple of your questions.

Another question I have about the Account of Thomas Davis (d. 1718).... A payment was made to Sarah Turner for "soe much owed by the deceased to Mic (a) Whillis & atteached to the acct by said S Turner..." Who was Sarah Turner? Could she be Sarah Thompson who married a Turner? And I am not sure what/who "Mic (a) Whillis is. Does anyone have any idea?

Hi. Most researchers believe the James Thompson who died 1720 in SMC was not the individual who was the son of Robert Thompson (d. circa 1697). Most researchers believe the James Thompson who died in SMC in 1755 (different from the one who died in SMC--aren't the Thompsons fun?) and who married (1--possibly a Brewer) and (2--possibly Ann Carberry)--but, frankly, I don't think we really have any idea who this James Thompson married (that is, the one who died in 1755 in SMC and who was the father of the James Thompson (d. 1749-50 in SMC) who married Ann Neale). To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever placed the James Thompson who d. 1720 and who apparently married Margaret Raley/Riley with parents. Given the strong association with the family of Arthur Thompson (d. 1701 in SMC) in terms of the witnesses to this Will, I would suggest we look in that family for a placement. Arthur Thompson (d. 1701) certainly had a brother (who was probably also a mentor and benefactor) named "James Thompson." This last "James Thompson" died, as I recall, in Calvert County, MD, with no children. Of course, the James Thompson who died in SMC in 1754 (the one who is thought to have married Margaret Raley/Riley) also had a son named "James Thompson" who seems to have survived until, at least, 1732. However, we're not really sure about that either. Pretty sure, though. I appeal to Linda and other minds greater than mine for input here too. As always, thanks to all! John D.

Yes. The James Thompson (d. 1754) is the one you described. I may be wrong about him being the one who married Elizabeth French. After looking at the dates it would appear that the James Thompson who married Elizabeth French would have been born prior to 1697. I have no record of him being married to a women named Margaret either. So perhaps the James (d. 1721), son of Robert Thompson (d. 1697), would be a better contender. He too had a relationship with the French family however, I do not see any relationship with Arthur Thompson or his children. Donnley did imply that there was some sort of relationship becuase Arthur Thompson bequeathed a cow to George Thompson and Robert Thompson (d. 1697) did have a son named George. It could be that these Thompsons were simply all neighbors of Thomas Davis and witnessed his will. Randy On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 11:44 AM, John Dobricky <john.dobricky@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi.

Hi. There was also the James Thompson who died in SMC circa 1720 and who has always been thought to have married Margaret Raley/Riley (daughter of John Raley/Riley (d. 1708-09) and Mary Macmurray). Of course, this James Thompson has never been linked with the Arthur Thompson family--the branch to which Sebastian Thompson I and Mildred (Thompson) Horrell both belonged. Thoughts? Is your James Thompson (d. 1754--he married (1) Elizabeth French) the same person who married Ruth (Cissell) Jones (daughter of James Cissell I (d. 1717 in SMC)--as well as Widow of Aaron Jones I)? Please advise. And, as always, thanks! You are a great source of information and a gift to this list.

I suspect that Margaret Thompson was the wife of James Thompson. Looking at the payments for the account, a payment was made to James Thompson and his wife for appraising and proofing the will. So, Sebastian and his sister Mildred, who married Archibald Pike, were witneses along with James Thompson and his wife Margaret. My question would be who is James Thompson? Was he a brother of Sebastian? I have a James Thompson (d. 1754) who married 1st, Elizabeth French, daughter of Martin French, whoes brother, James French, was one of the appraisers for Thomas Davis (d. 1718). I have no parents for him. Could he be the one? Randy On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 3:16 PM, John Dobricky <john.dobricky@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello. I have been wondering.

I made a mistake. I have in my notes that John Abell ( brother to Winifred Abell who married the Thomas men) married first Ann unknown then Elizabeth Aud daughter of Thomas Aud. I have the will of this John Abell and he died abt 1781. But I haven't done much research on him. He is the one I thought maybe married Ann Federy. And thanks for letting me know Vaudrey was a different family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Reno" <lindareno@comcast.net> To: <mdstmary@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 8:39 AM Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] D 1671 Thomas Thomas and Bachelor's Rest I have John Abell, brother of Winifred, was married to Elizabeth _____.

Mark Thomas was the son of Herbert Thomas and Ruth Fossee as you said. Luke Thomas was the son of Robert Thomas, Jr. and wife, Mary. I really think Mary, wife of Robert Thomas, Jr. was Mary Fadery, a sister of John Fadery who married Honor Thomas, daughter of Robert Thomas, Sr. and wife, Abagail. Ann, John, and Mary Fadrie were transported in 1670 (Skordas). Admin. accts. of John Fadery 3/31/1725 and 6/2/1725; appraisers were John Medley and John Greenwell; next of kin was Herbert Thomas and Luke Thomas; Exec., John Millman. (Skinner). Mary Fadery was married three times. Her first husband was John Little; second was Robert Thomas, Jr.; and third was John Millman. Winifred Abell was the daughter of Samuel Abell and Winifred Riley. She wasn't Winifred Hall, daughter of Simon Hall. It doesn't appear that Simon Hall had any children--if so, why would he have left his estate to cousins? Samuel Abell was probably a friend or neighbor who served as executor of Hall's estate. Will of Simon Hall, planter, SMC, ------1725-11/22/1725.

So far Robert doesn't fit for any of the Thomas Thomas' I have seen. This line of Thomas's were Catholics and some times I recognize relatives of them in some records. I still don't know the parents of Luke Thomas the first husband of Winifred Abell. Does anyone know???? So far I see lines of Thomas's in Charles Co., MD that I don't recognize. There are also the Thomas's who owned Bachlor's Rest and Newington ( William Thomas son of Thomas Thomas who died 1671was living there) in St Mary's Co Maryland.

Hello. I have been wondering. Why were all the Thompsons witnessing the Will of Thomas Davis on 1/19/1711? And, who was "Margaret Thompson"? Could she have been the wife of either Sebastian Thompson I or James Thompson? Traditionally, the wife of Sebastian Thompson I has been thought to have been Charity Bailey. John D.

Oppss... Sorry I included Samuel as a son of Thomas Davis (d. 1712). I still stand by my conviction with the rest of the story.

YES!! Thank you, Randy. I didn't have that NOK in 1718. Associating with the Brewer sons does make that Thomas the one that married Mary Thomas.

I have John Abell, brother of Winifred, was married to Elizabeth _____. Did you mean Samuel, his father instead? If so, it's a possibility, but we'd need some proof.

I agree... but you have to ask yourself why Thomas Davis chose John Abell and why did Eleanor choose Thomas Davis as their Execs. And why was Samuel Abell NOK for Thomas Davis and why did Thomas Davis name his only son Samuel. When I answer these questions I come to the conclusion that Thomas Davis (d.1712) was married to Mary Abell (d. 1719) daughter of Samuel Abell (d. 1698) and Susanna Gardiner. Eleanor Abell (d. 1709), her sister, married Paul Peacock (d. 1709). John Abell (d. 1746), the brother of the 2 gals, administered the estates. Of course, this would not be the first time I have come to the wrong conclusions and am open minded to sugested changes.
