Dear list, I've been trying to sort out some old notes and need a bit of help. 1.) Who were the parents of John Raley (b. 1755)? According to my notes he married Elefred Drury (b. 1770). If anyone can place her it would also be lot of help. 2.) Does anyone know who this Ann B. Joy was? ******************************* Ann B. Joy 12/20/1833-6/9/1835 (EJM #1, Fol, 310) To Enoch Drury, all of my estate both real and personal. My Negro man named is to be sold and to have his choice of a master. The proceeds from his sale are to be the property of Enoch Drury. Executor: Enoch Drury. Witnesses: Joseph A. Wise, John B. Raley, Benedict J. Fenwick. NOTE: John S. Peacock, the grandson of the deceased, did not object to the probate of this will. (St. Mary's County Wills, 1821-1835 by Linda Reno) **************************** According to my notes she was the mother of the Elizabeth Joy who married Zachariah Peacock 11/6/1797. Any and all help greatly appreciated. Thanks much to everyone, Don Drury
Hi Donn, Here is what I have. I am always open to suggestions: 1. John Raley (d. 1834) was the son of John Raley III and Henrietta. (I wish someone would clear up whether she was a Joy or a Greenwell). Will Liber E.J.M. No.1, pg 289; St Mary's Co., MD, 29 Oct 1834;2 Dec 1834 To: youngest Daughter Elefred Isabella Raley, feather bed. To: son George Francis Raley, all of my part of the plantation where his mother now resides, 169A, in case of death, to daughters Ann Golesberry [Goldbourgh], Mary Stone, Ally Raley, Monica Raley, Elefred Issabel Raley and Caroline Lathham To: son, George Francis Raley, the rest of my personal and real estate. Exec: son, George Francis Raley Wit: Joseph Simms, Dorothy Raley, Elizabeth Greenwell Source: (my transcription) Source for parents: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/mdstmary/2008-06/1214478376 Elefred Drury (d. aft. 1834) - I have no information on her parents. 2. I show the same as you for Ann P. Joy and do not know who she was married to or her parents. Hope this helps a little.
