2. Re: [LDR] STATON FAMILY IN VIA, MD, DE, PA [1]
This is a longshot.... William Johnson died 1797 in Sussex Co., DE. Among the children he had with his wife Elizabeth, there is a son named Staton Johnson b. ca. 1767. With the exception of the names of their other children, I have no other information about this family. I toss it in the ring as Staton could be the maiden name of his mother, Elizabeth. If anyone would like the names of the other children, let me know. ~Celeste WFstaton10@aol.com wrote: > Hi George, > > THANK YOU for new info a

9. Re: [LDR] Will question [1]
Dear Cat: Good hearing from you. In abstracting the wills for the various counties in Maryland, I have seen that particular kind of thing surface in quite a few of them. I tend to think--and this has been shown in a number of wills to be the case--that they are children born out-of-wedlock. In some cases they use the term "commonly known as" or "alias" or where there really is some doubt--at least in the mind of the testator--they will be labled as "reputed to be." There is another possibility whic

Don't worry, Neil - that big yellow disk is still in the sky. It just moved to Alaska for the summer. It's just after midnight here, and it's gone behind a hill for a few minutes, but it'll be back shortly. Have a great day, and don't lose hope!

11. [LDR] Worcester County Land Records, March 1769-November 1770 [1]
Greeting from the Land of Pleasant--albeit soggy--Living. We thought we would let you know that we have completed another volume of land records for Worcester County, these being ones found in Liber H, March 1769-November 1770. Among some of the surnames found in this volume are the following: Adams/Addams, Adkins, Atkinson, Ball, Banum, Bell, Bowen/Bowin, Boyce, Brittingham, Brown, Calloway, Cannon, Cathell, Collier, Collings/Collins, Corbin, Crapper, Dale, Davis, Dennis, Donoho, Duer, Duncan, Ennis, Eva
12. [LDR] Indentured persons [1]
As to illiteracy omong those indentured -- There was a consideration of what was termed "The Law of the Clergy" which was applied. It stated that if a member of the "Clergy" were sentenced for a crime, he could not be executed, but could be exciled. It was interesting as to how a person was made a member of the "Clergy". If he could read and write he was a member of the "Clergy". Therefore many of those transported as indentured prisoners were among the better educated, contrary to the general belief.
13. [LDR] Headrights [1]
>I am >sure that's what Mike meant by "headrights." No, each person coming over was granted a right to 50 acres of land (typically). If someone paid their way they could sign over their 50 acres. If you came and went several times you could have 50 acres for each trip. -- Craig O'Donnell Sinepuxent Ancestors & Boats The Proa FAQ The Cheap Pages
14. Re: [LDR] transported - immigrated ?? [1]
The headright system was instituted as a means of attracting men of some means and others to "plant" themselves in the colonies. Acreage was granted to those who paid passage or transported others into the province. The amount of the land grant varied over time and was eventually abandoned as a practice in the 1680s or so by the Lords Baltimore. Additionally the amount of land given for each "head" brought over depended on status--so much for wives, sons, servants, etc. Transportation can, indeed refer to

Hi Tony, I have heard about Terisha Turner before and he doesn't seem to be one of the Chesapeake Turners. He is probably Scotch-Irish but from a different Turner family.

Seems to me that, particularly in the 15th century, the trip either way was mighty rough, not to mention extremely dangerous. Anybody who risked it more than once for an extra 50 acres EARNED it!

18. [LDR] 1904 Photo - Frank Rickards [1]
While looking over some old photos today, I came across one of Commodore Frank Rickards, b. 1856, sitting on the front porch (in Milford, DE?) with 3 ladies and the picture was labeled "Commodore Frank Rickards. 1st D.V.N.R.

21. [LDR] Turners of the Chesapeake [1]
Hi, I am researching the family of Turners who arrived in Eastern Shore MD and VA in the late 1600s. Several men (Smith, Henry and Zadock among them) served in the Revolutionary War. In the 1790s and 1800s the Turners moved away from the Eastern Shore. Some went to Georgia and some to Indiana. If you believe that you may be descended from this family, go to: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ and look in the 'TurnParker' database. If you see a familiar name and you wish to investigate further, please
22. [LDR] 1849 probate records question [1]
I'm hoping someone can help me understand probate records! I received a copy of the 1849 probate records for Capt. Samuel WATSON, who lived in Cedar Creek Hundred, Sussex Cty. I think he may be one of my Watsons (who lived in CC) , but I'm not 100% certain yet. The probate record lists all of his earthly belongings, and mentions his wife Mary E. Watson. My question is this: now that I have this document, what can I do with it? How can I use it to find out additional information?? If anyone has interest

25. Re: [LDR] 1849 probate records question [1]
Carole, In addition to confirming existing family relationships, or uncovering new and unexpected ones, a probate record can serve as a wonderful resource in "fleshing out" your understanding of your ancestor's lives and provide clues for additional research. For example, the unexpected absence of a child from reference in a will raises questions about the relationship [biological and personal) of the child and the decedant and should lead you to look for any evidence of such a relationship.
