I'm looking for some definitive research on the Ringgolds from Kent County, Maryland. Starting with Thomas Ringgold, and down, I've found more than one source online that has various lines and generations mixed up (it would help if the Ringgolds would name their sons something other than Thomas, William, and Samuel, eh?).
Mildred Cook Schoch wrote a book entitled "Ringgold in the United States". Does anyone know of where I could find a copy of this online? I'm hoping to clarify a few connections, rather than rely on the faulty postings I've been working with to date.
Of particular interest to me is the line that follows:
James R Ringgold (1704-1740) m. (1) Carroll, m. (2) Mary Lowery (b.1715) 2 Dec 1726 in St. Paul's, Chestertown.
of marriage (2) there are 6 children, one is William Ringgold (1729-1790) who m. Rebecca Brown (1730-1790) 1741.
of that marriage, there are 8 children, one is Martha Ringgold, who m. (1) Edward Ringgold (1760-1854) and (2) William Ringgold.
of marriage (1) there are 6 children, one is Martha Elizabeth Ringgold (1814-1843), who m. John Holliday Cummins (1810-1884). Martha and John are both buried in Olivet Cemetery, Galena. When Martha died, John remarried to Rebecca B. Ringgold, who is mentioned further.
of the marriage of William Ringgold and Rebecca Brown, there was also a child named William Thomas Ringgold (1770-1816). He married (1) Martha Truman (1770-) 10 Jun 1797 in Kent County. He married (2) Sophia ? (1770-), and had 5 children by this marriage.
Of that marriage, one child was Thomas Ringgold (1799-). He married Rebecca Bolton, and had 3 children.
One of those children was Rebecca B. Ringgold (1818-1883), the second wife of John Holliday Cummins, and also buried in Olivet Cemetery in Galena.
As you may be able to tell, I'm a direct descendant of that Cummins/Ringgold connection. While I have a great deal of information on John Holliday Cummins and Rebecca B. Ringgold, I have very little verifiable information on the Ringgold parents from either marriage, or either lineage.
If you have any good sources, I would appreciate a link, or a little help with lookups, if you have some time.
Thank you.
