Margaret Combs did have at least one child and that was by Matthew Medley. She was Mary Ann Walbert Medley. Will of Matthew Medley, SMC, 4/1788-6/3/1788. Wife: Margaret Medley, all of my lands including "Dry Docking" and "No Name" during her life and widowhood and one third of my personal estate. Daughter: Mary Ann Walbert Medley, the land above and two thirds of my personal estate after the death of my wife. Execs.: Wife, Margaret Medley, and William Combs. Wit.: Bennet Combs, Catherine Nottingham, Barbara Riley. NOTE: William Combs renounced executorship of this will. (St. Mary's County, Maryland Wills, 1776-1791 by Linda Reno and Joann Humphries). There is no further mention of Mary Ann Walbert Medley anywhere and I have to assume she died young. She could not have been born until at least 1786 as Matthew Medley was born in 1766 and Margaret Combs was born in 1764. Ignatius Medcalf was married to Mary ____prior to 1788. Whoever she was, she was born before 1773--and she is surely not Mary Ann Walbert Medley. Any other children that Margaret Combs had would still have been too young to have married Ignatius Medcalf, but my contention is she had none that lived to adulthood. The land was sold. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry L.
