Her name was Annie B. Hastings

Re: STARKEY FAMILY

dawne_gray23 — 2013-03-20 20:48:47Z

18. Starkey, Paul Clifton was born 13 MAY 1900 in Chestertown, Kent Co., MD and died 15 MAR 1972 in Chestertown, Kent Co., MD. He married first Hastings, Unknown. He married second Sewell, Martha Estelle 16 APR 1927 in Queen Anne's Co., MD. She was born About 1908 in MD.

I don't think this is quite correct. He married Sewell first and the Hastings. Hastings was my Great-Grandmother and she married to him in the 50's/60's. From my understanding there was a choking/death of my Great Grandmother that was suspicous.

Searching for Louise Rebecca Parker

VMilazzo91 — 2013-02-28 05:00:50Z

I'm trying to locate a Louise Rebecca Parker of Prince Georges County Maryland. I know that she was born in 1917 to James Irving Parker and Lillian Josephine Parker. Their family used to be groundskeeper at the Prince Georges race track. Louise married my great grandfather, James Melvin Marsellas, and had three children. In approx. 1944, she left and returned home to her parents. We believe she has another child named *Benard Rowe (name may not be right) and his father was Louis (Lewis) Rowe. I know she has lived in Prince Georges County, Queen Anne's County, Calvert County and Anne Arundel County. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Judy,

We have not been able to tie this William Walls to Capt Samuel, though it is most likely all the Walls in the area are related. I believe he came from Delaware and was married to Rachel Lemley.

Re: Tilghmans Chance

Patricia,
We may be on to something. My father Melvin "Sabu" was his nickname and we are from Chester, PA. Could be just a coincidence. His Grandfather was Clarence H whose mother was Mary L. Clarence's father was Adam. This Clarence H. And wife Sarah (Mosely) had a son named Martin Thomas Dill, I am in possession of a copy of the record if marriage between Clarence H and Sarah. On my grandfather's (Martin ) Death certificate, Clarence also went by Clarence T. H. Dill. TYVM

Hi Judy,

It is near Ingleside (formerly known as Beaver's Dam). Here is what my cousin Les Walls says about the transaction: "Other than Capt Samuel and his brother John Milbourne with Bosticks Chance, this is the first Walls to buy property south and west of Ingleside where Tilghman’s Chance is located. Beaver Dam Branch runs right into town. Many of the Walls’ eventually bought property and lived in this area."

Hope this helps,

Hello Vic,

The QA CO Tombstoning book has this listing in the Providence MP Church cemetery:

"Son, William F. BLACKISTON, Jr. (stone underground)"

My uncle Marion Coleman takes care of the cemetery, but he is not sure who owns the property. :)

There are 8 other Blackiston listings in the book, mostly from Crumpton Cemetery. Email me and I'll look them up for you.

Hi Judy, if my memory serves me correctly, there is a black church near where you indicated the cemetery is located, and Goldsborough was a prominent black name in the area. I'm from Sudlersville originally, just up 313 from there. There is also a town named Goldsboro on 313 maybe 10 miles south of Barclay. Harold Coleman

The Queen Anne's County Historical Society, Commerce Street, Centreville, MD has the original of a patent dated 1769 for forty acres on Andover Branch, a part of Mount Pleasant.

My children are direct descends of Benjamin Lewis Graham. We are having difficulty finding his parents information.

I hope someone sees this post and provides some insight into Phillip Graham of 1792-1871 or Benjamin Lewis Graham. Thank you!

BORN 9/30/1969 IN MARYLAND IN SEARCH OF BIRTH FAMILY

janetkloos — 2012-04-15 01:54:40Z

I was born at greater Baltimore Medical center in Towson, Maryland on September 30th 1969.

My Birth mother was 18 years old (SINGLE) at the time of my birth. her date of birth is 5-30-1951 (very likely a twin to a brother)
She was born in Maryland, 5'4", Brown eyes, Brown Hair, 130 lb , olive skin "very pretty with dimples" 9th grade education and was of Italian-German
decent.
My Biological Grandmother was 45 and maternal grandfather 65.
Birth mother had a sister that was 21, 5'2" Brown hair and Brown eyes, Fair skin with Freckles, 11th grade, Married and had a child.
Maternal uncle was 18, 5'6" Blue eyes , Blond hair and Fair skin and in college.
My birth mother tried in vain to keep me but she was very young. I grew up with a family that loved me like one of their own. I am full of hope, love, and questions, not resentment, bitterness, or animosity.

When I was eighteen, I was able to receive non-identifying information about her and her family. These few pages were, and have been, my only tangible link to her. I’ve read them over and over, and while they only capture her at a single moment in time they bestow me with just that,a view through a window into her life of some 40+ years ago.

Since then, I’ve tried numerous methods of trying to find her. please if anyone can help it is greatly appreciated. God Bless

Benjamin Wells, b. 2nd Nov. 1737, Queen Anne’s County MD

genquest4 — 2012-03-15 00:51:42Z

Benjamin Wells, born 2nd Nov. 1737, was a son of Sibylla and Humphrey Wells, Jr. His life is well documented in Queen Anne’s County until 1778 when he sold the last property under his name and does not appear to have bought another one.

After 1778, no documentation in QAC. Does anyone have a notion about where he (and presumably his family) went?

Ann Wells born 15 Jan 1745 marries Mr. Brown

genquest4 — 2012-03-11 13:40:51Z

Ann Wells was the youngest daughter of Humphrey Wells Jr. and his wife Sibylla Elbert Wells. She was born QAC 15 January 1745. The estate papers for her uncle George Wells show her in 1769 as "now Ann Brown."

Does anyone know who Ann married or what happened to them?

Creighton/Lathe/Gable - Queenstown, MD

tree1919 — 2012-03-06 01:45:06Z

James Henry Lathe born 13 May 1896 in Queenstown, MD per his draft registration card. He lived in Baltimore, MD for most of his life. His parents are Sarah Louisa “Lula” Creighton Lathe and Walter Lathe. Lula’s parents are Robert H. Creighton (born in 1840) and Sarah Jane Gable (born in 1845). The 1870 and 1880 census for Robert show him living in Baltimore, MD and just show MD as his birthplace. Robert died in 1888. In the 1900 census living in Queenstown, MD are Lydia Creighton Higdon and her husband George. Lydia is also a daughter of Robert and Sarah Jane Creighton. Two brothers, Robert Creighton, Jr. and William H. Creighton, are shown in the 1910 census living in Queenstown, MD. Though most of the family lived in Baltimore, there seems to be a connection to Queenstown for this family, and I wonder if Robert H. Creighton was born in Queen Anne’s County as well. Any additional information on any of these people would be appreciated. Thanks!

Jackson Family in Queen Anne Co c 1800

SusanBradley52 — 2012-01-21 15:18:59Z

Thomas Jackson is born Sept 18, 1811 Queen Anne Co Maryland- died 1907 Huntington Co Indiana. Many clues about his Origin come from the following book: .

Huntington Cnty Indiana Biographical memoirs 1901 pg 478

"Thomas Jackson is an eastern man, born Sept 18, 1811, in Queen Anne County Maryland . His father James Jackson a blacksmith by occupation, was also a Marylander and served with distinction in the war of 1812. When Thomas was 14
(1825-1826) years of age the family moved to Westmoreland Co penn; thence after a two years residence to Ohio, settling in the county of Columbiana, where the subject grew to manhood."

Additionally, Thomas is supposed to have brothers James, Edward, Matthew, John. I did find a reference to a James Jackson of Queen Anne Co fighting in the Battle of Slippery Hill in the War of 1812. James wife is possibly a Sarah Wraks???

Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated!
Blessings!

Edward Box, Queen Anne's, MD

vernastone51 — 2011-11-07 04:40:38Z

Has anyone studied the Edward Box of Queen Anne's County, Maryland? He married an Eliz'h Roe on 18 Feb 1739. Then it appears that they could have had a daughter right away based on the birth record of 27 Apr 1740 of Rachall Backs (Box?) to Edward Backs (Box?) and wife Elizh (christening of 17 Sep 1740 at Saint Luke’s Protestant Episcopal Parish, Church Hill, Queen Anne’s, Maryland). Then 11 Oct 1742 a son, John Brily Bax (Box?), born to Edward Bax (Box?) and Elizh, could also be this same family (no christening date given but records from same as above). Then 26 Jun 1759, I find an Eliza Box who married a Stephen Yoe (Roe?) in Queen Anne's County, MD. I'm not sure that there is a connection to Edward Box and Eliza Box but I guess there is a possibility. Does anyone recognize any of these names? Please email me at vernaws@aol.com or post a return message here if you have any information that would help identify this set of Boxes. Thank you so much! Verna Stone

Winchester Family Tree DNA Project

swinchester — 2011-09-29 20:17:11Z

If you know of a male Winchester with documented descendancy that might link to one of the male Winchesters arriving 1600s-1700s into Colonial MA, MD, VA, NC or SC, please advise them we need them to join the Winchester FTDNA Project. For details regarding objectives and findings to date see http://www.familytreedna.com/public/winchesterfamilyDNAproje...

We have already linked four settlement groups from 1760s NC previously unknown to one another and are seeking links among SC, NC, MD, VA and MA, and are seeking links back to UK.

The project will pay for the initial Y-DNA 12 basic test @ $59 and the member can then add more detailed tests later as they desire. Must contact me via email to set up details.
