Does anyone have Peden's Book Rev.Patriots in Calvert and STM? Peden gives parents of Enoch Abell m. Judith Booth as John and Elizabeth and cites Y-2 & S-139, but I don't have the dang pp. To see if what the sources are... Oops, I found another poss. Edward Abell in the exact same timeframe. Peden, Rev Patriot's of Calvert and STM Co, p2 has Capt Edward Abell 1775-1776 [ref: S-16, B-100), then one in 1777 as Private in STM Militia- (more dang codes I don't have ref:M-212) RATS! Did he get demoted 'cause he didn't sign the Oath?

I disagree. There was no marriage to Mary Usher. John Abell was married to a daughter of Edward Fisher. Her first name is not known. 1/13/1712: Admin. accts. of Edward Fisher, SMC. NOK: John Abell and Thomas Beatson. 5/13/1714: Admin. accts. of Edward Fisher, SMC. Payments to: John Abell for his wife (unnamed, a child's part); Thomas Batson for his wife (unnamed, a child's part), Adm., Wm. Thompson (Skinner). The estate was paid by John Taylor. The estate made payments to (in addition to the children): David Watson, Mr. Henry Lowe, and Thomas Price. My note to the list, 1/2004: There are those who claim that Mary Usher, daughter of Thomas Usher, was the wife of John Abell based on a land record which named Mary, wife of John Abell, in 1715. This won't work as Mary was named as a minor in her father's will in 1714. She was not old enough to have married John Abell and have had 3 children by 1715. The wife of John Abell of SMC was ____ FISHER, daughter of Edward Fisher. PATENTS E.I.#1 f363-365 1734 Kent Co., Md. Land in Kent Co. which Thomas Usher left to his son, George & his dau. MARY, WIFE OF JOHN ABELL who sold her 55 acres to Thomas Morsoll. (Note to me from Tom Jennings, 1/17/2004). Linda Reno ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.
