Linda decided a while back that Eleanor Gough married a "James Greenwell." In looking again at Priscilla Gough's administration accounts, I noticed this. 8/15/1770: Admin. accts. of Priscilla Gough, SMC. Received from: Stephen Gough due from estate of James Gough. Payments to: James Pike, Zachariah Forrest, Owen Allen. Legatees: Stephen Gough, Ignatius Gough, William Jenkins, James Greenwell, accountant. Exec.: James Gough. (Admin. accts. of the Prerogative Court of Maryland, Libers, 59-66, 1768-1771 by V. L. Skinner, Jr.). NOTE: This record is not on CD #206. This last account has just killed two birds (or more) with one stone. Elizabeth Gough, daughter of James and Priscilla, was married to WILLIAM Jenkins, not John Jenkins (per Donnelly). Eleanor Gough, daughter of James and Priscilla, married JAMES Greenwell. As was the norm, the sons-in-law have been paid their wives' share of Priscilla's estate. Not sure at this point which James Greenwell that Eleanor was married to--there are several contenders. Linda Reno And what would give you the idea that Richard Langhorn CLARKE's wife Chloe ? was a GREENWELL, I see nothing to suggest such. Whoever the Eleanor ? was who married John CLARKE, John Basil GREENWELL, and James WHEATLEY, we at least know she was not Eleanor GOUGH. I Removed Eleanor GOUGH as a possibility long ago, and I'm trying to help others realize this was my original conclusion, that is totally wrong. Linda Reno proved it false, it always had problems working anyways. -----Original Message----- From: mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of David Lee Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 5:46 AM To: mdstmary@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] John Basil GREENWELL's will Does this mean Richard Langhorn Clark's wife Chloe was a Greenwell??
