Several files have John Baptist CARBERRY, who was born in the 1660's & d. bef. 19 Nov. 1728, St. Mary's Co., MD, m. 1697 , St. Mary's Co., MD, Elizabeth GUIBERT, b. ca. 1670. He owned "Carberry's Discovery" by 1715. The information is somewhat verified by Elise Greenup Jourdan's Early Families of Southern Maryland. "St. Thomas," 550 acres, was surveyed for Emma TURNER in St. Clement's Hundred, 9 July 1663; also "St. Thomas," 550 acres in New Town Hundred, surveyed for Emma TURNER on east side of St. Thomas Run that falls into the main run of Choptico Bay. "Little St. Thomas," 200 acres, Choptico Hundred, surveyed 23 July 1664 for Emma TURNER near the main branch of Choptico; same patented 10 Oct. 1668 for Wm. ROSWELL. The above tracts were held in 1707 for TURNER orphans by John Baptist CARBERRY. Relationships are difficult to state because of the use of terms such as sister or brother to mean in-laws, but this seems to be the case: Emma (maiden name unknown) m1. Thomas TURNER [Sr.] & m2. Wm. ROSWELL. Thomas TURNER [Jr.] married as first husband of Elizabeth GUIBERT, dau/o Joshua & Elizabeth. Elizabeth, formerly wf/o Thomas TURNER, m2. 1697 John Baptist CARBERRY. Maryland Calendar of Wills does not have a will for John B. Carberry in 1728. However, there was an inventory of his estate 19 Nov. 1728 & 6 Je. 1729, Mr. John Baptis CARBERY, 14.182. Next of kin Nicholas MILLS & Eleanor CARBERY, administrators Mrs. Elisabeth CARBERY & John Baptis CARBERY. Somewhere along the line of owners of the property, there might have been an abstract showing all of the prior owners. --not my family Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
