Dear List, I've posted in recent years and still trying to solve who my 5xgf Alexander McConchie married. He had wife Ann and both wills in Fauquier Co. Alexander died 1811 and had some association with the line of Joseph Hanson Harrison in CC MD whose sister Elizabeth Harrison married 1st Robert Dade, 2nd Robert Mastin. Elizabeth [Harrison] Dade's daughter Rose Townsend Dade married Capt. Robert Knox whose estate inventory was done by my Alexander McConchie and Lott Hackley in 1785. Alexander McConchie as living at Robert Knox's quarter in Fauquier Co. in 1777. Alexander McConchie was on the estate acccount of Robert Mastin in 1771 in CC MD. Robert Mastin was second husband of Elizabeth [Harrison] Dade. Alexander McConchie was also witness on the Will of Francis Evans in 1771 CC MD whose widow Phoebe [Maddox] Evans remarried Samuel Hudson who was son of below THOMAS ADAMS and ELIZABETH PHILBERT, d/o JOHN PHILBERT. I think my Alexander McConchie might have married ANN HUDSON, daughter of THOMAS HUDSON and she would have been sister to SAMUEL HUDSON who married widow PHOEBE [MADDOX] EVANS which may explain why ALEXANDER McCONCHIE was witness on the will? Since ADAM HUDSON died in Fauquier Co. and married MARGARET FRENCH, I am wondering if there might be some records that would possibly connect my Alexander McConchie and his wife ANN to HUDSON lines in Fauquier Co.? Thanks for any assistance! Amanda =============================================== My 5xgf bought land from GEORGE DENT who had married the widow Elizabeth of JOHN KNOX. Elizabeth was nee Harrison and the daughter of COL. RICHARD HARRISON and 2nd wife the widow ELIZABETH [DENT] PENN. COL. RICHARD HARRISON was BROTHER of JOSEPH HANSON HARRISON witness on WILL of THOMAS HUDSON. On Nov 28, 1794, George Dent of Charles Co., conveyed land to Thomas Dotey, of Fauquier Co., VA. On Nov 30, 1796, George Dent and Elizabeth his wife, and William Dent and Jenet his wife all of Fauquier Co., VA., conveyed 84 acres of land to Alexander McConchie, of Fauquier Co. Consequently sometime before 1794 George Dent settled in Fauquier Co., VA. On Mar 24, 1797, he conveyed "Chosen" and "Huckleberry Plains Enlarged" to John Colby, of Charles Co., MD. No wife waived dower. On Jan 7,1798, he deeded "Warren's Discovery" to Robert Cain of Charles Co. No wife waived dower. A few months later he conveyed "Hatton's Point" to John Maddox, and on Nov 10, 1801, he transferred another port- ion of "Warren's Discovery" to William Thomas of St. Mary's Co. Background on THOMAS HUDSON... Thomas HUDSON was a surety for the estate of Charles MUNTOE in Charles County on 5 April 1738. Administrator of the estate was Benoni HARRISON.[220:2; Libers 16-20, 1737-1744, p 6] In July of 1738 Thomas sold Hudson's Adventure to Thomas WRIGHT. This was before the date he recorded the purchase. It was 50 acres and bounded by the east side of Potomack River near the mouth of a small marsh, thence to the line of Mr Thomas WRIGHT. On 10 September 1741 Thomas HUDSON leased to William MATTHIS part of a tract of 150 acres called Hudson's Rest lying on the east side of the little dam in Charles County. This is a 21 year lease, but the rent is not to become due until two years from today. The witnesses were John UPTON and William WRIGHT. THOMAS HUDSON's will that shows he had daughter ANNE and she was not of age when he died. Notes: HUDSON, Thomas, age 40, 3 June 1745; CHLR 1744-1745 40:346.

MARGARET FRENCH and they had a son DENNIS HUDSON m. ELIZABETH DOTY. I wonder if she would make any connection to the THOMAS DOTEY who was in record with GEORGE DENT and ALEXANDER McCONCHIE? Would anyone know about this ADAM HUDSON? I would like to try to see if he made any connnection to Alexander McConchie and wife ANN.
