K. Woodring Said: Jerry, I have the same question, but also have a John Horn Abell hanging empty on my to do list. My Comments: I have Edward ABELL who married ? HORNE as having children: John Horn ABELL Jane ABELL married John DUNBAR Some web sites are claiming this Edward ABELL is the son of John Abell and Mary FISHER, but I have John Abell and Mary FISHER with a son Edward Abell who married Susanna Spalding, not sure if he also married a ? HORNE. Other web sites claim Edward ABELL son of John ABELL and Mary USHER. I have all of John Abell's children under wife Mary FISHER. But the interesting thing is now that I have agreed that Thomas Clarke Jr. (son of Thomas Clarke and Grace GREENWELL)married Susanna HORN. If Edward Abell is a son of John Abell and Mary FISHER, then his Brother Cuthbert Abell married Mary CLARKE also a daughter of Thomas Clarke and Grace GREENWELL.

Linda Reno, Now that I have agreed that Thomas Clarke Jr. Married Susanna HORNE. Is the will below that of Susanna HORNE (CLARKE) or is it the Susanna ? 1st wife of Thomas CLARKE son of Robert CLARKE Jr. and Mary ? If we say it's the will of Susanna ? the wife of Thomas CLARKE son of Robert CLARKE Jr. and Mary ?, then how can we say that Joanna ? widow of John Witherinton was his 2nd wife? When Susanna's will is dated 1788, after his death. Will of Susanna Clarke, SMC, 5/25/1785-9/3/1788. Son: Thomas Clarke, all of my estate both real and personal. He is to be in the care of Ann Griffin (widow) until he reaches the age of 21. To: Ann Griffin, the use of my bed and chest until my son, Thomas Clarke, comes of age. She is to return these items to him in the same condition she got them. She is to also have my clothes to make use of as she sees fit toward the clothing of my boy. She is to have the interest from my estate for her trouble and expense in raising, bringing up, and schooling my child. Exec.: Matthias Clarke. Wit.: John Horn Abell, Jean Fenwick. Then what we need to decide is if this will below of Thomas Clarke: Will of Thomas Clarke, SMC, 6/5/1783-8/5/1783. Son: George Clarke, a negro named Lewis; one young horse; and a saddle and bridle. Daughter: Nancy Clarke, a negro named Jesse. Daughter: Anna Clarke, a negro named Nace. Son: Thomas Clarke, a negro named Dick. Exec: Brother, Robert Clarke. Wit: Moses Davis, William Loker. NOTE: The widow, Susanna Clarke, renounced this will and claimed her third. Is this the will of Thomas CLARKE son of Robert CLARKE Jr. and Mary ? Or is it the Thomas CLARKE Jr. son of Thomas CLARKE and Grace GREENWELL. If We say will above is that of Thomas CLARKE Jr. then we have a different set of children than ones below. We also have this will Maryland Calendar Of Wills 1774-1777 Volume 16 Family Line Publications Westminster, Maryland 1995, p. 173 CLERK, THOMAS, SR., St. Mary's Co. 20 Jan. 1777; 15 Feb. 1777 To dau. Pressiller Clark, Negro wench Hannah, and equal part of residue of estate. Son, Ignatius Clerk, Ex. Wit: John Horn Abell; John Denbar. 41. 204 Either way the Joanna ? widow of John Witherington does not work as a spouse of either Thomas CLARKE. So There must be a Third Thomas CLARKE who married the Joanna ? widow of John Witherington
