    1671-1747)
    There is in Charles Co. Administrations accounts of Thomas Wakefield which

    MATTHEW COMPTON was born June 17, 1671 and married Susanna Briscoe,
    daughter of Phillip and Susannah (Swann) Briscoe-she being the daughter of Edward
    Swann and wife Susanna and Edward possibly the son of Samuel Swann.

    same time for the following parcels of land:
    John Compton and son Matthew both used the Compton family of Northhampton,
    England's seal on documents. The family is in the Earl of Northahmpton and
    listed in Burke's Peerage.

    Mathew and Susanna purchased land called Manchester from Abel Wakefield in
    1705 for 5000 pounds of tobacco, Mathew being listed at that time as a cooper,
    or maker of barrels.
    On 9 March 1722 Mathew received land from his father John. This was his 1/3
    share of 200 acres called Boswell and 80 acres called Boden. By 20 March 1737
    Mathew Sr sold his son Mathew Jr. 90 acres of the Boden and Boswell property
    he had received from his father, inclusing dwellings, out buildings, gardens
    and orchards.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Emigration: 1664, England
    • Immigration: 1664, Maryland

    Notes:

    John C. Compton and his son Mathew Compton both used the Compton family of Northampton, England's seal on documents. The family is in the Earle of Northampton and is listed in Burke's Peerage.

    (from Sarah Browder 12/15/03)
    JOHN COMPTON (1-1) the first of this family to reach American soil as far as is known, came to Maryland from England about 1662. CAVALIERS and PIONEERS by Nugent Vol I p 147 shows a John Compton transported to Mockjack Bay area of Va near the Severn River by Thomas Williams in Aug 31, 1643. The question that will probably remain unsolved is whether this is our John Compton or not.

    (According to Skordas' "Early Settlers of Maryland" John Compton was in Charles Co prior to 1664 L. 7 f 490 ).Some will argue that if a person was transported by someone else then how could he have obtained land so quickly. His first piece of land was Brathwood, in Charles Co, an estate of 800 acres surveyed for him was patented 12 June 1665. Also a patent of 200 acres called Boswell was also issued the same year. So it seems John was not destitute when he arrived to have acquired over 1000 acres of land. In 1675 he married Mary Clarke, widow of Robert Douglas and daughter of John Clarke( will dated 12 Aug 1698- 6.177) and probably granddaughter of Robert Clarke (will dated 21 July 1664-1.208)

    It appears John Compton was born in England circa 1629 and died by 18 Jan 1717/18 Charles Co, Md when will was probated.

    John Compton appraised estate of John Clarke 9.212 Inv. Lb 63.11.0 26 Nov 1696 (Md Inventories and Accts V 3 p 150

    The following children were known from this marriage:

    2-8 William d 1725 (no real proof of him)

    John Compton -900 acres called Boswell in St Mary's Co (Land Office Patents 7 p 499 and 502 dated 24 Jan 1664) and Edward Swann 200 acres called Chestnutt Point in Charles Co and 1200 acres in St Mary's Co called Eagleton -same book and page. Edward Swan transported persons in 1662, 1663, and 1664. John Compton was witness and also stated he was due land by custom of colony for
    transporting himself into Charles Co( Land Office Patents Bk 8 p 460-464. What with closeness of John and Edward Swan it is only natural that their families would intermarry, considering the scarcity of those entering the colony at that time. More on the Swann/Swan family in that chapter.

    John Compton's will was made 29 May 1713 and was probated Charles Co 5 March 1718(Charles Co. Accts: L 2. f 447). Heirs given as "eldest son John-2/3 of land lying both in Charles and St. Mary's counties and 2/3 of estate, both
    household and goods chattles and horses"; "son Mathew 1/3 of patented land in both Charles and St. Mary's", after their deaths it shall pass to nearest of Compton kin of either son. Both sons were appointed executors. Test: Phillip Briscoe, Sr, John Fairfax, Susanna Briscoe Liber 15 folio 8 (No mention of wife or other children.)

    Comment: The Compton name appears again about a hundred years earlier in 1516-1636 when a Henry Compton marries Ann Hastings, daughter of Francis Hastings (1514) Earl of Huntingdon of Ashby, Leicestershire, England, and Catherine Pole, Countess of Huntingdon. Curious if it's still the same Compton line. (See note of son John C.)

    Died:
    Somewhere there was some info that said he immigrated to Massachusetts and died in Roxbury, Massachusetts; however the Comptons were certainly of Maryland.

    Notes:

    She was the widow of Thomas Greene who briefly served as governor of Maryland.

    Mistress Winifred Seybourne emigrated to Maryland in 1638 " who by his title indicated gentle birth and likewise one who had arrived to the discretion to be recognized as a feme sole in matter of ethics and business." p. 215, ...Maryland Palatinate On 30 July 1638 Lord Baltimore personally issued instructions for a warrant of 100 acres Mistress Winifred Seyborne [Seaborne] for transporting herself in 1638 and at the same time a warrant of 100 acres for Mistress Troughan. [Boderbund WFT Vol. 16, Ed. 1, Tree #1313,

    Mrs. Winifred Seyborn Immigrated 1638, and afterwards married Thomas Green, Esq., and later Mr. Robert Clarke prior to 1654.

    Above notes from WFT coincide with earlier research showing Winifred Seybourne. Dates do not seem to make sense.

    See 18 WFT 332 for extensive Calvert family and a different version of this person and the Calvert connection for our family: Helen Calvert the mother of Governor Thomas Green who was allegedly born on the high seas en route to Maryland. According to 22 WFT 1907, Helen or Ellin,= born 12-5-1615 to George Calvert and Anne Mynne.

    Thomas Green, came to MD with the Ark and Dove Expedition in 1634. He= married 1st. Anne Cox, 2nd. Millicent Brown and 3rd. Winifred Seybourn widow of Nicholas Harvey. Winifred married Robert Clarke.

    Mary Ann:

    There is nothing stated in "The Ark and the Dove Adventurers" to show any family relationship between Thomas Greene and Lord Baltimore's family. None of Lord Baltimore's daughters listed married anyone named Green/Greene.

    The Thomas Greene in the book came w/ the Ark & Dove. He had 2 wives: Ann Cox and later Winifred Seybourne, widow of Nicholas Harvey. He was appointed Governor on 9 June 1647 by Leonard Calvert, but in 1648 William Stone became Governor. He was dead by 23 January 1651/52.

    The book covers LOTS of his descendants, pp. 112-137. Among the surnames besides Greene: Wheeler, Marbury, Alvey, Simpson, Thompson, Clements, Noble, Hoye, Deakins, Hatton, Frazer, Smallwood, Hagan, Spalding, Hamilton.

    Descendants pretty much cover all of Southern Maryland; later lines to Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina.

    One descendant #221. Raphael Spalding was the father of the famous Mother Catherine Spalding, founder of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

    Interesting family line, but gives zero on the parents of Thomas Greene nor any marriage connection into the Lord Baltimore family.

    On 20 Jun 1632, Charles I of England granted to Caecilius (Cecil) Calvert, Baron of Baltimore, the charter for the Province of Maryland. Calvert (and his father, George Calvert before him) had long been recruiting "gentlemen investors" and, once certain that the King's charter would not be withdrawn (due to complaints by both Virginians and anti-Catholics on the Privy Council), he began notifying them of departure dates:


    Oldham, September 1st, 1633

    Dr. John Briscoe,
    Brikshough, New Biggin, Cumberland Co., England.

    Dr. John Briscoe, Greeting:

    Dear Sir:

    As the privy council have decided that I shall not be disturbed of the charter granted by his Majesty, "The Ark" and pinnace "Dove" will sail from Gravesend about the 1st of October and if you are of the same mind as when I conversed with you I would be glad to have you join the colony.

    With high esteem your most ob't servant,
    (Signed) Cecilius Baltimore.

    ___

    The time first intended for the embarkation was as early as September, 1633, but it was delayed for two months--perhaps for the purpose of arriving at their destination in a more favorable season of the year, at the beginning of spring rather than in the autumn or witner. In any case, on St. Cecilia's Day--November 22, 1633--the two vessels set sail, into an east wind, from Cowes in the Isle of Wight, carrying nearly 200 gentlemen adventurers and their servants--among them Dr. John Briscoe.

    Among the Calvert papers in possession of the Maryland Historical Society there is a letter from the priest, Father Andrew White, to Lord Baltimore dated from Maryland, February 20, 1638, in which reference is made to fevers among the colonis and to the "advice of our chirurgian."
    ____
    From Sarah Browder:
    regarding proof of marriage of John Briscoe to Eliz. Dubois has always been accepted but for the period there are NO marriage records, of that you can be sure.
    I will quote from Historian of Missouri Briscoe Ass. and other sources:
    "Dr. John Briscoe, Ark and Dove, 1634-born 1612 Crofton, england, son of Leonard Briscoe, married in England Elizaeth duBois. Died in St. Mary's Co. Md 1699"
    This is only place a definite date of birth ever found and well accepted. These records refer to a certain Hall of Records of Md and found accurate by all who have examined. and this is deemed accurate based on various authority. It also refer's to Hutchinson's History of Cumberland; Forester's Visitation of Cumberland and Westmoreland; Metcalf's Visitation of Northamptonshire; Nicholson & Burns' westmoreland & cumberland; John Watson's History of Halifax; Plantagenet's Harrisons of Yourkshire and Bethane's Baronetage. all of which are English records and unavailble as far as I know in this country but researched in England.
    Another person inspected "The Genealogy of the Ancient and Knightly Family of Briscoe, by John Charles Brooke, Esq. and pub. England 1783. and states this book shows Leonard Briscoe had 4 sons, but that no dates are given. However he says e is in said book mention of a John Briscoe b. 1590, was not the John Briscoe 4th son of Leonard.
    Also about 1698/9 there were 3 known living John Briscoes, other than Dr. John- his son John who died 1718; his grandson John who was living as late as 1718;and grandson John, son of Dr. John's son Phillip who died 1733/34. All involved with te immigrant Dr. John.. Phillip in 1719 depostion was 72 yrs old making him born in 1647 and proves Dr. John was in Md in 1648.

    I have a copy of a letter in Md Gen. Soc. files once in possession of Louise Briscoe owner of "Piedmont"-old Briscoe home built in 1784 from Cecilius Baltimore to Dr. John Briscoe, inviting him to join Ark and Dove Expedition., dated Odiham, Sept 1st, 1633.
    Another ref. was Mathew's Armory and Glue Book, pub in London in 1908 says ".... son of Dr. John Briscoe who came to Maryland in Ark and Dove 1634, settled in St. Mary's Co-son of Leonard, son of richard of Crofton, Cumberland Co, Engl"
    There are several other references found in London.
    There are other references but too numberous to list. All of this comes from my resarch and that of Adm.

    The Story of the Ark and the Dove

    By the time two small wooden sailing ships lifted anchor, on the 22nd day of November, 1633, and set sail from Cowes, Isle of Wight, England, much planning already had been done. Cecil Calvert, the organizer of the venture, was sending people to establish the English colony of Maryland on the North American coast. He did not want to repeat any of the mistakes made by earlier groups, such as the colonists at Jamestown and Plymouth, and so he made sure his travelers were well prepared.

    He carefully chose people who were important to the success of the colony: farmers to grow food, carpenters and brick layers to build houses, shipbuilders, blacksmiths, even soldiers for protection. Among the colonists were two Jesuits priests. It is from the writings of Father Andrew White that we have learned so much about the voyage of the Ark and Dove, as well as the early years of settlement in Maryland.

    As part of the planning, the Calverts carefully selected and stored barrels of flour, meat, dried vegetables, water, beer, sugar, salt, vinegar, and other food stuff. The colonists had to take enough food, not only for the long voyage, but to keep the settlement alive in case no other food was found when they arrived.

    Clothing for everyone, for both summer and winter, was packed. Seeds, roots, and plant cuttings were stored for planting fields and gardens. Many kinds of tools were taken for home and furniture construction, farming, building fortifications, and even making small boats. The ships were armed with cannon for protection at sea from pirates. Guns, knives, and swords were brought for protection and hunting when they reached land. Even trade goods were packed for trading with Native Americans.

    All of these provisions were stored on board so they took up as little space as possible and in such a way that food-related items would not spoil. Between space for supplies and living accommodations for approximately 200 men and women, the little ships were quite full.

    One lesson the Calvert family had learned from earlier ventures was correct timing. The voyage left England in the fall so that the band of colonists would arrive in North America in the spring. This way they would have time to grow food before the following winter and would not need warm houses for several months.

    Finally, the two ships set sail. They would not travel directly westward toward Maryland. Instead, a southwesterly course was set, with planned stops at the Canary Islands and then the Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa, then west across the Atlantic Ocean to Barbados Island in the Caribbean. These would be stepping stones across the vast Atlantic, and the route should give them favorable winds. From the calmer waters of the Caribbean, the ships planned to sail northward up the coast of North America, with a stop in Virginia before proceeding to Maryland.

    Not long after going to sea, the Ark and Dove were swept by a terrible storm. At midnight, the Dove signaled that it was in distress. So fierce were the wind and waves, however, that the Ark could not help. When dawn came, the Dove had disappeared.

    The Ark sailed on alone. The ship reached Barbados on January 3, 1634. As the passengers and crew rested and gathered fresh water and food supplies, the Dove appeared on the horizon. The smaller vessel had turned back to the English harbor and waited out the storm before continuing on. All were united again.

    On February 27, both ships arrived off of Point Comfort, Virginia and visited the colonists at Jamestown. They bought pigs, cows, and other needed supplies. Soon they set sail up the Chesapeake Bay, bound for the Potomac River and Maryland. People crowded the decks anxious to get their first glimpse of Maryland and its forests, birds, and Indians.

    At a small island then called St. Clement's (today called Blakistone) they went ashore, set up a large cross, and gave thanks for their safe arrival. The date was March 25, 1634 which we celebrate today as Maryland Day.

    The settlers were not yet able to set up their homes but their long four month sea voyage was ended. Their next new venture was to begin.
