Hi all, I have some questions about a couple of confusing references. The first is about the wives of Francis Hayden (1709-1748). One record from the LDS International Genealogical Index and a second from LDS Family search.org lists Ann Drury (abt. 1710/13 - ?) and has her married to Francis Hayden in 1731. Then we have from research of Genealogist Theodore L. Brownyard sent to St. Mary's County Historical Society 2/10/2003 ***************************** Admin Accts. of Francis Hayden rendered 4/4/1749 lists Sebastian and Elizabeth Thompson as administrators of the estate. It is clear that Elizabeth was his widow and that she married second Sebastian Thompson. ******************************* So, did Francis Hayden marry twice or, as some have suggested, was his wife's name really Ann Elizabeth or perhaps Elizabeth Ann. If he married 2nd Elizabeth ____, were any of his children by her? Was the Sebastian Thompson who married Charity Baily and the one who was mentioned in the Admin Accts of Francis Hayden as the husband of Elizabeth Thompson the same person? Thanks again for all your excellent comments, Don Drury

Hello. According to most researchers, it was Sebastian Thompson I (as I recall, d. 1742 in SMC--son of Arthur Thompson) who is thought to have married Charity Bailey. It was his son, Sebastian Thompson II who is thought to have married Elizabeth ________ Hayden (Widow of Francis Hayden). I have never heard of Francis Hayden having a first wife but, of course, he could have--multiple spouses happened most of the time and, again most of the time, we don't know about the existence of all spouses. I would doubt that Elizabeth was "Elizabeth Ann." As Linda has pointed out--and, I guess she is not interested in this discussion (oh well)--most individuals did not seem to have had middle names in those days--hence, for example, "James Thompson of Basil." Hope this answers a couple of your questions.

Don, I have one wife for Francis Hayden. Her name was Elizabeth and after his death she married second, Sebastian Thompson, Jr., son of Sebastian Thompson and Charity Bailey.

Don, I also had Francis Hayden married to Ann Drury, but no parents of Ann Drury. I think this probably came from one of Mary Louise Donnelly's books. Perhaps we need to check her books to see what she says and her reasoning or proof. It maybe an error several people have copied including myself. I have nothing to back it up, and I entered much of her info. from her books only to find out she had many errors. I assume it came from her book that I had that had I think it was Colonial Settlers of Beaver Dam? since I don't have that book anymore I can't remember Title, but it's the one that mentions Robert Clarke Sr. who married 1st to Sarah Combs.

Thanks Jerry, That's where my reference came from also. Now for an update on her parents. Some time ago (see below) Linda checked at the St. Mary's county courthouse and discovered that a published record stated that a will was that of Henry Assiter. Actually when she checked she found that that particular will was that of Ann Assiter. In it Ann Assiter referenced her greandaughter Ann Payne d/o Henry Payne and Mary Assiter. Given the association between Charles Payne and John Drury I have assumed that John probably married Charles' sister Ann Payne shortly after 1695 when she was still listed as single in her grandmother's will. If they were married it would make sense that one of their female children would be named Ann. Hope this helps. Don ****************************** 10/1/2011 Additional information has recently come to light suggesting that the first wife of John Drury may possibly have been Ann Payne (daughter of Henry Payne and sister to Charles (d. 1717)). Ann received a bequest in the 1695 will of her grandmother Anne Assiter that established her existence. She then becomes the only daughter of Henry Payne not assigned a spouse. Since John Drury was living on land owned by the Payne family it seems logical that he would be married to a Payne daughter. 9/15/2012 Henry Payne and Mary Assiter did have a daughter Ann Payne who is mentioned in her grandmother’s Will. [Will of Ann Assiter, SMC 11/4/1693-3/20/1693-4. Note by Linda Reno a St. Mary's County genealogist and researcher concerning this will - Maryland Calendar of Wills says it is Henry Assiter. I called and had the will pulled at the (St. Mary’s County) courthouse to verify the name. It is the will of Ann Assiter. I should have gone further and gotten a copy of the will. That needs to happen. If the transcriber messed up the name of the testator, other things may have also been missed, specifically the mention of Ann Paine. Carr, Lois Green, card file sc4040 - 1166 ,1695: Ann Assiter, widow of William. Inventory, personal estate. Ann willed 200 ac. to her daughter Mary and male grandchildren to split equally. To Ann Paine: 1 cow, 1 calf, at the age of 21 or marriage.] *************************** ________________________________ From: "clark8178@comcast.net" <clark8178@comcast.net> To: mdstmary@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, February 3, 2013 11:16:27 AM Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] Sebastian Thompson and the Drurys Don, I also had Francis Hayden married to Ann Drury, but no parents of Ann Drury.
