    Note: Commissioned Second Lt. in a troop cavalry (Maryland Archives).Note: On September 10, 1689, he demanded 200 pounds of tobacco as the price of one wolf's head. (Charles County Land Records)He was commissioned as one of two coroners for Prince George's County on May 15, 1696. Born about 1651 in England. Transported to Prince George's Count (then part of Charles County) prior to 1671. Married Mary Wheeler and had 5 sons - three remained Episcopal, as was the father; and two sons became Catholic as was their mother. This accounts for the Middleton's of Charles County being Catholic and the Middleton's of Prince George's County being Episcopal. As a young man about 20, Robert MIDDLETON was transported into Maryland, along with Benjamin ARNOLD and Thomas THORNTON, by Benjamin ROZER, Esq., of Charles County, prior to 2/16/1671. His birthplace has not been determined, but he was born c1651,according to a deposition he filed in August, 1681, stating his age as "about 30 years". In 1672 he married Mary WHEELER, a lass of only 14 and of a prominent Catholic family. Though of a tender age, their happy married life was attested by an issue of five healthy sons. Also he and his wife Mary were given by her father "for fatherly love and natural affections" the plantation "Wheeler's Hope" of 365 acres, lying on a fresh run which emptied into Piscatatway Creek. Besides meeting the challenge of establishing himself on what was then the frontier, he repeatedly evinced a strong will in defending law and order. In1687 through his attorney C. LOMAX he demanded a writ against Richard CLOUDEN in a plea of trespass. He successfully defended himself in a number of other small legal suits. In 1689 he demanded 200 lbs. of tobacco as the price of one wolf's head. Between 1692 and 1707 he shouldered numerous civic responsibilities - jury duty, land boundary commissioner, appraiser, and estate administrator. He was a juror in the Provincial Court in 1680 and 1698. He was appointed a Justice and also coroner for Prince George's County, in 1696, shortly after the founding of that new county. He attested his loyalty to the Crown in 1689 when he signed, with others, the "Address of the Inhabitants of Charles County to their Most Excellent Majesties King William and Queen Mary." He recorded the mark of his cattle in the court term of November, 1704. In 1679 he was one of twelve men of a commission to settle certain property boundaries in the county. He refused to sign the report, which is curious since there was reference there unto Colonel Benjamin ROZER who had brought him into Maryland a few years before. He was a Warden and a Vestryman of St. John's Church of Piscataway Parish at Broad Creek from 1704 to 1708. He died in testate and his administrators Mary MIDDLETON and John MIDDLETON (oldest son) signed the administrative bond on May 6,1708. His third son Thomas was surety for 150 lire sterling since his estate was closed informally, the list of the children cannot be proved complete. Besides the five known sons there may have been daughters, for Benjamin BELT named a son Middleton BELT, and the name MIDDLETON continued in the BELT family for several generations. In 1681 the Council at St. Mary's City commissioned him a cornel in the Mounted Troops under Captain Randolph BRANDT. In 1678 he was reimbursed for expenses incurred for services against the Nanticoke Indians, to a total of 7125 lbs. of tobacco.***Land Grants to Robert Middleton***1679 - WICKHAM - 112 acres - at PANGUYA Manor 1683 - HARD SHIFT - 160 acres - South of Goose Bay 1686 - Saturday's Work - 500 acres - Piscataway Hundred) 1687 - KALKEITH - Near Broad Creek, Piscataway, Pr.Geo.Co. 1687/8 APPLE HILL - 552 acre - woods above Piscataway 1688 - CARRICK FERGUS - 181 acres 1688 - THE GARDEN & SANQWHAR - 160 & 350 acres 1688 - WYOMING -North of Piscataway Creek 1690 - MOUNT PLEASANT - 164 acres 1695 - MIDDLETON'S KINDNESS

    Died:
    The MIDDLETON family history will be started with the birth of a daughter to MAJOR JOHN and MARY WHEELER on March 22, 1658, of Charles County, Maryland. This daughter married ROBERT MIDDLETON about 1672, and thus we find the name MIDDLETON in Maryland for the first time. ROBERT MIDDLETON was born about 1651, but the place of his birth has not yet been established at this time. It is believed he is from Somersetshire, England because correspondence is on file in the Maryland Archives between residents of Charles County, Maryland, and the above-mentioned place in England.
    ROBERT's father in law, MAJOR JOHN WHEELER, gave to he and his wife, MARY, "for fatherly love and natural affections", his 365 acre plantation, "Wheeler's Hope".
    ROBERT MIDDLETON died interstate - the official record is found in a bond dated May 6, 1708, "being the seventh year of Her Majesty's Reign": "ROBERT MIDDLETON, of Prince George's County: MARY MIDDLETON (widow) administratrix, John Middleton (oldest son), administrator; Thomas Middleton (second son) surety; Edward Willott, witness, and WILLIAM MIDDLETON (youngest son),witness.
