1210	"William Sparks, Jr. had three brothers who, along with himself, were named in their father's will of June 1709. They were George Sparks, born about 1679; John Sparks, born about 1684; and Joseph Sparks, born about 1689 . The elder William Sparks also mentioned a deceased daughter in his will, who had married man named Hynson. http://home.inu.net/sadie/sparksancestry.htm -- Joseph Sparks, youngest son of William Sparks, Sr. who died in 1709.] "Joseph Sparks, son of William and Mary ( ----- ) Sparks, was born about 1690 in Talbot County, Maryland. He was not "of age" (that is, age 21 years) when his father made his will on June 21, 1709, in Queen Annes County. From his father, he inherited (along with his brother, William Sparks, Jr.) a share of two tracts of land in Queen Annes County called "Hills Adventure" and "Sparks Outlet." The inherited tracts, located on Island Creek, were also to be shared with another brother, John Sparks, if he (John) became dispossessed of another legacy of land left to him by his father. In addition, the will specified that in the event that Joseph Sparks died before coming of age, his share of the land was to go to his brother, William Sparks, Jr. Joseph was also given one yearling heifer under the terms of his father's will. "The legacy of land (referred to in the paragraph, above) which William Sparks, Sr. had given by his will to his son, John Sparks, was a 249-acre tract called "Highgate" or more completely "Harden & Highgate." William Sparks, Sr. had purchased the land on February 2, 1707, from John and Elizabeth Hamer for 22,000 pounds of tobacco; however, there seemed to have been doubt as to whether Hamer had the right to sell this land. In the event that it was found that Hamer had no right to sell it, William Sparks asked his heirs to return the land to Hamer and then for them to make provision for John to share equally in the land which he (William, Sr.) had given to his sons, William, Jr. and Joseph. "Apparently the title to "Harden & Highgate" was not clear, and on March 15, 1716, William Sparks, Jr. and John Sparks returned the land to Hamer. It also seems apparent that in the exchange of the various tracts of land, Joseph Sparks was given a portion (100 acres) of a 250-acre tract of land called "Sparks Choice" to replace his equity in the two tracts of land ("Sparks Outlet" and "Hills Adventure") willed to him and his brother, William, Jr., by their father. "Three years later, on March 21, 1719, Joseph Sparks (designated in the deed as "planter") sold his share (100 acres) of "Sparks Choice" to Augustine Thompson. The consideration was 3,000 pounds of tobacco. John Whittington and James Earle witnessed the transaction, and Joseph Sparks conveyed the land by signing the deed by mark. Since he conveyed the land by himself, it seems obvious that he had no wife at that time. (Augustine Thompson was mentioned a number of times in land transactions of the Sparks brothers; he was obviously a neighbor and a fellow member of St. Lukels Parish Church in Queen Annes County. The parish register shows his marriage to Elizabeth Ball on November 17, 1729. He died there on February 26, 1738, according to the register.) "We have found no record pertaining to Joseph Sparks during the period from 1719 to 1738. From the estimated ages of some of his children, we assume that he was married about 1725, probably when he was about 35 years old. His wife's name was Mary, but we have not learned her maiden name. Apparently, she and Joseph continued to live in Queen Annes County after their marriage, and it was there that a son, William Sparks, was born to them on April 27, 1738. He was baptized on June 4, 1738, according to an early register of St. Luke's Parish in Queen Annes County. (There is a possibility that Mary was the second wife of Joseph Sparks. This possibility will be discussed more fully later in this article.) "Joseph Sparks had a nephew, William Sample Sparks, who was a son (probably the eldest son) of Joseph's brother, William Sparks, Jr. There were only a few years difference in the ages of Joseph and William Sample Sparks, probably ten at the most, and there appears to have been a close personal friendship as well as the family relationship between them. This bond apparently was handed down to other members of their families whose lives also became entwined for several generations. "One of the first indications of a close friendship between Joseph and William Sample is shown by their departures from Queen Annes County. William Sample Sparks left the county prior to 1736, as related by Dr. Russell E. Bidlack on page 3487 of the December 1989 issue of the QUARTERLY. Joseph followed his nephew some time after the birth of his (Joseph's) son in 1738. He probably used a ferry at Kent Island to cross Chesapeake Bay to the community of Annapolis and then moved westward, with the aid of a horse-drawn cart, to the general area of Pipe Creeks (Big and Little) where he settled near his nephew. (See the map of this area in Frederick County, Maryland, on page 3488 of the QUARTERLY of December 1989.) "Joseph Sparks died in the spring of 1749. He was a relatively young man and was probably stricken suddenly since he apparently had no opportunity to make a will. He left his wife, Mary, with a household of children, probably ranging in ages from a few years to adulthood. "The Frederick County Court appointed Mary Sparks, widow of Joseph, to be administratrix of his estate and designated two neighbors, Joseph Wood and William Carmack, to take an inventory of his property. As recorded on pages 22-23 of the Frederick County Inventory Book A, No. 1, the inventory amounted to nearly 85 pounds. It was presented to the court on June 21, 1749, by Mary Sparks.

"The older children of the large family of Joseph Sparks had reached maturity by the time of their father's death, and some of them were married and had already begun to establish families of their own. They had also heard stories of the cheap, fertile lands available to setters in the western sections of the American colonies where no quitrents were charged. It is obvious that they were impatient for a final settlement and distribution of their share of their father's personal estate. Apparently their impatience was expressed to the Frederick County Court in the spring or early summer of 1750. When the Court convened at its regular August term, the justices approved the following memorandum: "August 1750. Page 64. Memorandum this day towit: "The twenty-second day of August Anno Dom Seventeen Hundred and Fifty: Mary Sparks, Col. Henry Munday and Thomas Wilson (Toms Creek) of Frederick County entered into and executed a certain writing obligatory in One Hundred and Fifty Three Pounds, one Shilling, current money, to be paid unto Solomon, Joseph, Charles, Jonas, Jonathan, William, George, Merum, Mary, Ann, Rebecca and Sarah Sparks on Condition that the above bounden Mary Sparks, or some person on her behalf, shall and do well and truly satisfy and pay unto the above named Solomon, Joseph, Charles, Jonas, Jonathan, William, George, Merum, Mary, Ann, Rebecca and Sarah Sparks, their executors, administrators, assigns or lawful guardian or guardians their respective parts or portions of Joseph Sparks, deceased, his estate according to Acts of Assembly in such cases made and provided. "[It should be noted in the above document that the figure of 153 pounds and one shilling current money referred to the amount of the bond agreed to by Mary Sparks, Col. Munday, and Thomas Wilson to assure compliance with this court order; this was not the amount of Joseph Sparks's estate.] "The apparent impatience of at least some of Joseph Sparks's children to obtain their share of their father's estate may only suggest that they were making immediate plans to leave Frederick County. On the other hand, their action could suggest some sort of alienation between them and Mary Sparks, Joseph's widow. One wonders whether, perhaps, Mary could have been a second wife and thus the step-mother of Joseph's oldest children. We know that there was a considerable spread in the ages of Joseph's children, with the son named William (who had been baptized in Queen Annes County in 1738) only about 11 years old when his father died. Might the reason Joseph had no wife to co-sign his deed in 1719 have been that he was even then a widower? "A widow left with small children was not usually required to distribute immediately her late husband's estate among his heirs in instances where he had left no will. Furthermore, there was not a great deal to divide among twelve children. Joseph owned no land at the time of his death, and the estimated value of his personal property came to only 84 pounds, 19 shillings, and 10 pence. The payment of debts and the costs of probating the estate (8 pounds, 9 shillings, and 4 pence) further reduced this total to 76 pounds, 10 shillings, and 6 pence. In the absence of a will, the law provided that a widow should receive one third of her late husband's estate. Assuming that there had been a public sale and that the articles inventoried brought the amounts estimated to be their value by the appraisers of the estate, this would would have left slightly over 51 pounds in "current money" to be divided by 12, resulting in 4 pounds and 5 shillings per child. When, for example, we compare this figure with the appraised value of Joseph's mare and two-year-old colt, which was 24 pounds, we realize how relatively little only 4 pounds and 5 shillings could purchase. Considering, also, in what a difficult strait this distribution must have left Mary, we can find, perhaps, the children's action to be more understandable if Mary were their stepmother rather than their mother. There is also the possibility, of course, that the older children of Joseph Sparks expected his widow to marry again rather soon. We have no information regarding a second marriage of Mary Sparks, but we are aware that youthful widows did often marry a second time rather quickly. "The two men appointed to prepare the inventory of the estate left by Joseph Sparks (Joseph Wood and William Carmack) were chosen from among his neighbors, as was the custom. To perform such service, it was not only necessary that they be men who were known to be good judges of property values, but they also had to be able to write in a clear hand. Wood and Carmack were each paid five shillings for their service on this occasion. "Joseph Wood, whose wife's name was Mary, was known as "Joseph Wood of Linganore" to distinguish him from another Frederick County resident known as "Joseph Wood of Israells Creek." Joseph Wood of Linganore had acquired a tract of land in 1748 which he named "Wood's Lot." It was located a half-mile from present day Unionville according to PIONEERS OF OLD MONOCACY, THE EARLY SETTLEMENT OF FREDERICK COUNTY, MARYLAND, 1721-1743, by Grace L. Tracey and John P. Dern, published in 1987. It is noted on page 103 of this book that "some of the buildings built by Wood [on "Wood's Lot"] were still standing in 1956, on Wilbur Baker's farm.11 At a meeting of the Frederick County Court in November 1751, "Joseph Wood of Linganore was appointed overseer of the Middle Part of the Road from Thomas Beatty's to Baltimore." (See p. 88 of THIS WAS THE LIFE, EXCERPTS FROM THE JUDGMENT RECORDS OF FREDERICK COUNTY, MARYLAND, 1748-1765, by Millard Rice, 1979.) "William Carmack (1716-1776), the other neighbor who helped prepare the inventory, was a son of Cornelius Carmack who had died in 1748, just a year before Joseph Sparks's death. This family had come to Frederick County from Cecil County, Maryland, prior to 1742. William Carmack's wife's name was Jane. They were living where the town of Liberty now stands when he helped prepare the inventory of Joseph Sparks's property in 1749. (See pp. 103-04 of PIONEERS OF OLD MONOCACY.) "It was a requirement in the Province of Maryland that the inventory of an estate be signed not only by the men making the inventory, but also by the two major creditors of the estate and by two "kinn" of the deceased. The "kinn" were supposed to be the closest relatives who were not heirs to the estate, brothers and sisters, as well as brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, often performing this service. No brothers or sisters were living near Joseph Sparks when he died, however, so a nephew, William Sample Sparks, signed as "kinn," as did also a Rachell Sparks. We believe that Rachell was the wife of William Sample Sparks. Both signed by mark. Joseph's father, William Sparks (died 1709), always signed his name by mark, as did Joseph and his brothers and most of their children. This does not necessarily mean, however, that they could not read. It is interesting to note that among the possessions of Joseph Sparks were three books, even though both he and Mary signed their names by mark. "The two chief creditors of Joseph Sparks who signed the inventory were Duvalt Young and Osborn Sprigg. Young signed by mark, which means that someone else wrote his name. Because in the final settling of debts owed by Joseph's estate, Young's name appears as "David Young," we believe that David was his correct name, not "Duvalt," and that he was the David Young identified in PIONEERS OF OLD MONOCACY as one of the early German settlers in Frederick County (p. 350). Why Joseph Sparks owed David Young 1 pound and 4 pence is not known. "Osborn Sprigg, the other chief creditor, was identified as "Sheriff" when Mary Sparks paid the 3 pounds, 14 shillings, and 4 pence owed to him. (Tobacco being the chief medium of exchange in colonial Maryland, through documents proving ownership of tobacco stored in warehouses, it is interesting to note that this amount of current money was equivalent to 563 pounds of tobacco.) Osborn Sprigg, son of Thomas, Jr. and Margaret (Mariarte) Sprigg, first acquired a land grant in 1734 in that part of Prince Georges County that was cut off to form Frederick County in 1748. Sprigg was never a resident of Frederick County, but continued to live in that part of Prince Georges County which remained after Frederick was created in 1748. In 1745, he was one of four men elected to represent Prince Georges County in the General Assembly of Maryland. (See THE MARYLAND GAZETTE of April 26, 1748. ) By 1748, he had become High Sheriff of Prince Georges County, which accounts for his title as used by Mary Sparks in paying her husband's debt to him. "Osborn Sprigg owned several tracts of land in Frederick County and was thus an absentee landlord. At a meeting of the Frederick County Court in November 1749, the Court contracted with Sprigg "to keep a ferry at the mouth of Monocacy until the end of next November Court." The Court agreed to pay him 7,200 pounds of tobacco for this service. We can be sure, however, that he engaged someone to operate the ferry for him. It was in November 1749 that Mary Sparks paid Osborn Sprigg the amount owed him by her deceased husband, and it was then also that he agreed to operate the ferry at the mouth of the Monocacy River. On January 5, 1750, however, he died. His widow, Rachel Sprigg, was appointed administratrix of his estate. (See THE MARYLAND GAZETTE of January 10, 1750, and April 11, 1750.) "Although Joseph Sparks owned no land in Frederick County, the inventory of his personal estate reveals that he owned a considerable amount of livestock, consisting of cattle, horses, sheep, and swine, along with some basic farming machinery. We can only conclude that he occupied land owned by someone else, doubtless paying rent for its use. (In Colonial Maryland, all land was owned by the Lord Proprietor and, although grants were made by his office to individuals, persons obtaining such grants were not only required to pay "caution money" at the time of the acquisition, but also an annual quitrent. When the land was sold to another party, an "alienation flne" was assessed. Such land could be inherited, but in the absence of heirs, it reverted to the Lord Proprietor.) "It seems probable that Joseph Sparks had lived on and cultivated land in Frederick County which belonged to Osborn Sprigg, paying him annual rent, which would, then, explain the fact that Sprigg was one of the chief creditors of Joseph Sparks (in the amount of 563 pounds of tobacco, or 3 pounds, 14 shillings, and 4 pence). "Perhaps there is a similar explanation for Joseph Sparks's debt to John Digges. As seen in her account of expenditures for the estate, Mary Sparks made a payment from her husband's estate in the amount of 1 pound, 8 shillings, and 1 pence to "Mr. Dudley Digges for his father John Digges." "John Digges was both a land investor and a land speculator in Western Maryland. As described in PIONEERS OF OLD MONOCACY (p. 42), Digges "was a man of somewhat doubtful honor"; he sold land on occasion to which he did not have a legal title. As a grandson of Governor Edward Digges of Virginia, John Digges had obtained warrants for thousands of acres of land which he claimed entitled him to most of northern and western Maryland. In 1732, the Maryland Assembly was informed that Digges claimed all the vacant land on the Monocacy and its branches. John Digges died not long after Mary Sparks paid his son, Dudley, the amount owed by Joseph Sparks. The legal tangles left by John Digges continued to embroil his family in disputes, however, and "in 1752 Dudley Digges was killed in a battle between contesting groups." "We have not succeeded in identifying Robert Gorman, Daniel Brook, and John Hamilton to whom Mary Sparks paid small amounts from Joseph's estate. They were probably workman from the area who performed such services as digging Joseph's grave and providing a coffin. "The children of Joseph Sparks were probably not named in the Memorandum reproduced on pages 3557-58 in the exact order of their births, although we feel fairly certain that Solomon and Joseph were among the oldest of the family. We have found no further record pertaining to any of the five daughters; however, we have been able to follow the lives of all of the seven sons for several years after the settlement of their father's estate. As noted earlier, no further record has been found of Mary Sparks, widow of Joseph. Following are the references to Joseph's sons as recorded in THE SPARKS QUARTERLY: 1. Solomon Sparks married Sarah ------ and they went to Rowan County, North Carolina. See the December 1955 and the December 1989 issues of the QUARTERLY, Whole Nos. 12 and 148, respectively. 2. Joseph Sparks married Mary McDaniel, and they lived in Frederick County, Maryland, until about 1800 when he went to Bedford County, Pennsylvania. See the March 1955 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No. 9; the December 1960 issue, Whole No. 32; the September 1961 issue, Whole No. 35; the September 1986 issue, Whole No. 135; and the December 1986 issue, Whole No. 136. 3. Charles Sparks married Margaret ------ and they went to Bedford County, Pennsylvania, then on to Washington County. See the June 1963 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No. 42. 4. George Sparks married Mary ------ and they went to Washington County, Pennsylvania. See the June 1963 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No. 42. 5. Jonas Sparks married a woman whose name we have not learned, and they went to Rowan County, North Carolina. See the March 1964 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No. 45. 6. Jonathan Sparks probably went to Rowan County, North Carolina, and was probably the Jonathan Sparks who entered land there in 1761. 7. William Sparks married Martha Moore, and they went to Washington County, Pennsylvania. See the June 1963 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No. 42; the March 1984 issue, Whole No. 125; and the June 1984 issue, Whole No. 126. "Col. Henry Munday who, with Thomas Wilson, entered into the August 1750 obligation of Mary Sparks to divide her husband's estate among his heirs, had obtained his first grants of land in the Monocacy Valley in 1738 near the mouth of Pipe Creek where it flows into the Monocacy River. (See the map on page 3488 of the December 1989 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No. 148.) When Frederick County was separated from its parent, Prince Georges County, in 1748, Munday was chosen to be one of the five justices to manage the legal affairs of the new county. He was also an officer in the Maryland Militia. Munday died early in 1751. (See P. 333 of PIONEERS OF OLD MONOCACY.) "Thomas Wilson, the other individual named in 1750 to assure that each heir of Joseph Sparks received his/her proper share of the estate, was identified as a resident of Tom's Creek. Tom's Creek flows into the Monocacy River a short distance above the mouth of Pipe Creek. He was appointed one of Frederick County's 21 constables in November 1753. There appears an article in This Was The Life by Millard Milburn Rice, published by the Monocacy Book Company, Redwood City, California, 1979, containing excerpts from the Judgment Records of Frederick County, Maryland 1748-1765 as follows: The August Court of 1750 met on the third Tuesday and 21st day of August "in the thirty-sixth year of HIs Lordship's Dominion." "Memorandum: ....Mary Sparks, Col.

1216	"[Editor's note: The notes made by Alice Sparks from "Aunt Lizzie's stories" appear to be quite authentic. (Lizzie's father was Calvin Sparks, son of Hardy Sparks.) It is obvious that she had grown up with family members who knew about their ancestors and who were willing to talk about them. Her statement that "poor granddaddy, the Indians finally killed him," is quite correct regarding the fate of Matthew Sparks, father of James; Matthew was killed by Indians in Georgia in 1793. (See the Quarterly of June 1961, Whole No. 34, foran account of Matthew Sparks's life and death, pp. 556-66.) It is interesting that Lizzie remembered no stories of James Sparks and the Indians. In fact, this was because James had not accompanied his parents and siblings to Georgia.

(2) Jolliffe, William, Historical, Genealogical, and Biographical Account of the Jolliffe Family of Virginia, 1652 to 1893, Philadelphia, PA: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1893, pp. 176-182, 190: The Society of Friends in North Ireland grew and flourished amid all kinds of persecutions, which were continued with more or less severity until the middle of the eighteenth century. In the year 1730, Lewis Neill and his two brothers, John and William, took passage from Lurgan, Ireland, and landed in Pennsylvania, and family tradition says settled near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Finding the lands thereabouts mostly taken up, and few opportunities offering for getting on in the world, John and Lewis were early attracted to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, which was then being opened up by Scotch-Irish and Friends under the patronage of Alexander Ross. These brothers left home because they were unwilling to bear arms in what they considered an unrighteous cause. They were the grandsons of the above William Neill. About the year 1733 they left Pennsylvania in company with a number of Friends, and permanently took up their residence in the Valley of Virginia. We have no record of William over having moved from Pennsylvania, nor do we know where his descendants reside. John first settled on the banks of the Opecquon Creek, at what is known as the Spout Spring. now in Clarke County, Virginia. His brother Lewis fixed his home on the banks of the same stream about a mile and a half farther down, at a point now familiarly known as the Burnt Factory. The lands in the Valley being all prairies and covered with grass, the early immigrants sought the banks of the streams on which to build their homes, because of the proximity of wood and water, taking up the rich prairie lands as farms. Lewis at first made his home in a small cave on the banks of this stream until such time as he was able to rear and complete the large, old-fashioned, hipped-roof house, still standing (at that day considered the finest in the county), in which be resided until his death. These brothers, though members of the Society of Friends in Ireland, did not bring their certificates with them, and were not actually members of the Society afterwards, though they always leaned towards that body in religious belief. Lewis soon began to acquire property by grants from the Crown, and from Lord Fairfax, and by purchase. He built a large grist-mill near his house, one of the first in the county, and opened his house as an ordinary, as did most of the gentlemen of that day, the population being sparse and scattered. He was largely engaged in business of a mercantile character, trading in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, and is said to have occasionally dabbled in slaves. He soon became one of the acknowledged leaders among the early settlers. In the year 1743 the settlements had so rapidly increased, upon a petition of the leading citizens, "His Excellency, William Gooch, Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the forces of the colony and province of Virginia, by the grace of his most gracious Majesty, our Sovereign Lord, George II., King, defender of the faith, etc.," issued commissions as Justices of the Pence and of the County Court in Chancery to "our trusty and well beloved Morgan Morgan, Benjamin Bordon, Thomas Chester, David Vance. Andrew Campbell. Marquis Calms, Thomas Rutherford. Lewis Neill, William McMaChen, Meredith Helm, George Hoge, John White, and Thomas Little, gentlemen," accompanied by a dedimus for the administering of the oath of office to the appointees. On November 11, 1743, the gentlemen met at the house of James Wood, just west of what is the centre of the present town of Winchester. Having met, Morgan Morgan and David Vance administered the oath to the others named in the commission, who, having taken their seats as Justices for Frederick County, appointed James Wood clerk of the court and Thomas Rutherford high sheriff. George Home was appointed surveyor. It was "ordered that the sheriff build a twelve foot square log house logged above and below to secure his prisoners. he agreeing to be satisfied with whatever shall be allowed him for such building by two of the court and he not to be responsible for escapes." On May 12 of the same year Thomas Chester, David Vance, Lewis Neill, and others were appointed to take a list of the titbables. On September 8, 1748, Duncan O'Gullion, having finished the jail for the sheriff, Thomas Rutherford, was paid by the Justices the sum of eighty pounds. The committee to decide upon the structure and the price to be paid were James Wood, George Johnston, Lewis Neill, and William McMachen. On March 9, 1743, James Wood entered into an obligation with the Gentlemen Justices of the county of Frederick, of whom Lewis Neill was one, to lay off a certain tract of land and donate the same for a town to be called Winchester or Fredericktown. This land was added to by Lord Fairfax, and in February, 1752, the General Assembly passed an act for establishing the town of Winchester, and appointed fairs to be held therein. Lewis Neill was commissioned sheriff of Frederick County by Lewis Burrell, president of the Council of Virginia, April 19, 1751. He was the fifth person to hold this office. His bondsmen were Meredith Helm, Samuel Earle, Thomas Swearingen, Leonard Helm, William Cocks, Robert Calvert, Peter Wolf, John Jones, John Madden, John Shearer, John Thurman, John McCormick, all of Frederick County, and William Russell, of Culpeper County. They were bound in the sum of one thousand pounds sterling. The cornmission was renewed September 13, 1751, and he was always afterwards styled Lewis Neill, gentleman. During his life he was called by his neighbors Captain Neill, no doubt because of this commission. He seems to have patronized the courts very largely and gave the lawyers plenty to do, his name appearing in many judgments through a long series of years. He married, about the year 1737, Lydia, daughter of Abraham Hollingsworth, who was the grandson of Valentine Hollingsworth, who came over before Penn in the " Welcome," in 1682. By this lady he had two daughters and five sons, namely, Ann, born January 28, 1738; William, born March 7, 1740; John, born October 20,1744; Lewis, born July 12, 1747; Thomas, born September 22, 1750; Abraham, born September 26, 1753; Rebecca, born July 28, 1756; and Joseph, born November 22, 1757. Lewis Neill became a wealthy man, owning large estates, mills, and other property. He was very industrious in business, upright and fair in all transactions. Ho was very firm and courageous in his convictions of right and justice, and when a member of the Justices' Court of the county often vigorously opposed Lord Fairfax, who was disposed to carry matters with a high hand, and to whom many of the justices tamely submitted because of his rank and position as Lord Proprietor. At his death, which occurred the latter part of the year 1775, he left his large family well provided for. His grandson, our cousin Joseph Neill, estimated his possessions at not less than forty-nine thousand acres of land, and he was worth probably two or three hundred thousand dollars in the currency of that time. In later life it seems he must have attended Friends' Meetings quite regularly, but I can find no account of his ever having joined them. He worked with his own hands as a mason upon the walls (as did also Abraham Hollingsworth) of the large stone meeting-house at Hopewell, and contributed largely towards its erection. His remains were interred in the Hopewell Graveyard beside those of his wife. . . . Lewis Neill directed, after the . . . legacies and his just debts were paid, that the remainder of his estate should be sold and equally divided between his five sons, and "desired that his children may not sell or dispose of his negroes out of the family." He appointed his five sons executors of his last will and testament. This will was drawn August 10, 1775, and probated March 5, 1776. (3) O'Dell, Cecil, Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia, Marceline, MO: Walsworth Publishing Company, 1995, pp. 230, 232-233: NEILL John Neill (b. 1710 c.) and his brother Lewis Neill (b. 1715 c.) were in Orange County, Virginia by 4 November 1735 when James Wood surveyed a 640-acre tract of land for them. This tract, part of Jost Hite's grant land, was located on the Great Pond Branch of Opequon Creek. John and Lewis divided this land, Lewis receiving the north section and John and his children the southern part, by Fairfax grants. The tract is on the east side of Opequon Creek with Virginia Highway 7 running through the center. Dry Marsh Run crosses the north end and Clarke County Highway 635 cuts across the center of the land, from north to south. . . . On 2 October 1738, John and Lewis purchased 150 acres situated on both sides of Opequon Creek (Clarke and Frederick County, Virginia) from Rees Smith. The land was approximately ½ mile south of a new road (Virginia Highway 761) that connected with Jost Hite's Road (Summit Point). . . . John Neill (b. 1710 c.) and his brother Lewis controlled or owned outright approximately 5,800 acres of land in present-day Clarke County, Virginia. Their land began at Clarke County, Virginia Highway 761 on the north and ran four miles south along the Opequon Creek to about one mile south of Virginia Highway 7. From Opequon Creek, it extended east about two miles to Clarke County, Virginia Highway 660, 674, 656 and 659. Only John Neill's (b. 1751) tracts of 300 acres and 311 acres were east of these roads. Lewis Neill (b. 1715 c.) owned approximately 4,000 acres of land in this area. Around 1737, he married Lydia Hollingsworth (b. 1718 c.), the daughter of Abraham (b. 1686) and Ann Hollingsworth. Lewis was appointed a justice of the First Court of Frederick County and a Captain of the Militia. Lewis and Lydia's daughter married Henry Rees in 1762. Lydia was not listed as a witness to the marriage and may have died by that time. Lewis also owned 1,914 acres in Frederick County and Jefferson County, West Virginia. He and his brother John disposed of only one piece of property in their lifetime which occurred on 7 September 1756 when Lewis and his wife Lydia sold lots in Winchester to Jacob Sowers for 49 pounds. Lewis was deceased by 5 March 1776 when his will (dated 10 August 1775) was proved in Frederick County Court. Lewis' daughter Ann Rees was willed 520 acres of Fairfax grant land rented at the time to Jose and Edward White. She acquired possession of the 520 acres on 2 February 1768.

Lippincott Company, 1893, pp. 182-183: John Neill became quite a prominent man in Frederick County, was at one time a Gentleman Justice of the Peace. He accumulated quite a large estate before his death, which occurred in 1750. In his will, which was dated October 2, 1750, he leaves his property to his wife, Anne Neill; to his son-in-law, Meredith Helm, Jr.; to his son Lewis Neill the plantation on which he then resided; to his son William Neill his mill and four hundred acres of land in what is now Clarke County; to his daughter Sarah Neill two lots in the town called Fredericktown, now Winchester; to his daughter Elizabeth, who afterwards married Thomas Helm, a brother of Meredith, a farm held in partnership with his brother Lewis Neill, at Cape Capon; the residue of his estate to be divided equally between his children and his wife Anne. His brother Lewis Neill and Isaac Hollingsworth, son of Abraham Hollingsworth, were named as executors. His sons all died prior to the year 1773, and his daughter Margaret, who married Meredith Helm, was the grandmother of Frances Helm who afterwards married John Jollife and left a large family in Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland. (3) O'Dell, Cecil, Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia, Marceline, MO: Walsworth Publishing Company, 1995, pp. 230, 232: NEILL John Neill (b. 1710 c.) and his brother Lewis Neill (b. 1715 c.) were in Orange County, Virginia by 4 November 1735 when James Wood surveyed a 640-acre tract of land for them. This tract, part of Jost Hite's grant land, was located on the Great Pond Branch of Opequon Creek. John and Lewis divided this land, Lewis receiving the north section and John and his children the southern part, by Fairfax grants. The tract is on the east side of Opequon Creek with Virginia Highway 7 running through the center. Dry Marsh Run crosses the north end and Clarke County Highway 635 cuts across the center of the land, from north to south. . . . On 2 October 1738, John and Lewis purchased 150 acres situated on both sides of Opequon Creek (Clarke and Frederick County, Virginia) from Rees Smith. The land was approximately ½ mile south of a new road (Virginia Highway 761) that connected with Jost Hite's Road (Summit Point). . . . John Neill was deceased by 15 November 1750 when his will (dated 2 October 1750) was proved in Frederick County Court. Lewis Neill (brother or son) and Isaac Hollingsworth were named executors. His wife Anne is mentioned, though she may have been his second wife. John Neill (b. 1710 c.) and his brother Lewis controlled or owned outright approximately 5,800 acres of land in present-day Clarke County, Virginia. Their land began at Clarke County, Virginia Highway 761 on the north and ran four miles south along the Opequon Creek to about one mile south of Virginia Highway 7. From Opequon Creek, it extended east about two miles to Clarke County, Virginia Highway 660, 674, 656 and 659. Only John Neill's (b. 1751) tracts of 300 acres and 311 acres were east of these roads.

1243	(Also spelled Doach, Doage, Doack) "The most likely number of immigrant Doak brothers was four (David, John, Robert & Samuel) together with perhaps three sisters: definitely 'the original Thankful Doak', and, probably, also Ann & Mary. A brother Nathaniel and a sister Julia are to be discounted - they appear to have made their entrance courtesy of one Janie P C French, vol 6 (Doak) in a series entitled Notable Southern Families. To be polite, that should have been published by, say, Balderdash, Bunkum & Claptrap (under license from Hogwash Inc) - it's probably the single 'greatest' source of conventionally-published misinformation concerning Doak genealogy, and there is regrettably strong competition for that 'accolade'. "The year of immigration is a seriously-vexed question: 1704 is a perennial favourite but arises from a mistaken reading of a source which never offered that date as anything other than speculative. 1740, which some have quite seriously preferred as a 'typo' revision of 1704, is demonstrably too late, probably by at least 12 years (see below), although it is by no means certain that the Doaks and the Mitchells arrived in America even in the same year, let alone on the same ship. "1718 is one strong contender, with a ship called the Elizabeth having become almost Ark-like as the fons et origo for all the immigrant Doaks - but, according to one deafeningly-trumpeted hypothesis, only if the parents are Robert & Margaret rather than James & Elizabeth ... or Samuel & unknown, or unknown & the Widow Doak, or James-Samuel (desperation setting in there, I've always suspected) and so on and so on, ad nauseam almost ad infinitum - hey, guys, relax, will youse ... there's nothing at all wrong about not being sure until you really can be, OK? Bit of a downer about the 'and perhaps we never will be sure', bit, admittedly, but if that's the way it is, to my mind those as-yet-unidentified ancestors deserve the honesty of uncertainty rather than to be 'honoured' by demeaning delusional squabbles among a bunch of gamblers. "[minor outbreak of fulmination ends] "Samuel Doak and Jane Mitchell almost certainly married in Lancaster Co, PA, not long before they set out for the Shendandoah Valley - and the same applies to Samuel's brother-in-law John Finley and Samuel's sister, Elizabeth Thankful Doak. Lancaster Co was until 1728 part of Chester Co and the 1728 petition which brought about the creation of Lancaster Co was signed by Thomas Mitchell (Jane's father, who died in 1734) and a James Doke, who may have been father of the immigrant Doak brothers. There is a will surviving for Thomas Mitchell which provides corroboration as to the identification of both Jane and her mother but, alas, no such record regarding James." http://www.cwcfamily.org/idl/robtdoak.htm (Ralph Doak) --------------- "Bible Records & Marriage Bonds" gives James and Elizabeth Doak as parents of the immigrant Doaks; Thankful born on ship coming over, about 1704.

1255	(Because of the tight chronology between the date of marriage of the parents and the known birthdate of the fourth child, Coddington suggests that Cornelius and Mary may have been twins [TAG 15:211].) -- Jonathan Gillett had left Dorchester by 20 June 1638 [DTR 35]. Anna, born December 1639, was the first of his children to be born in Windsor. Since the chronology for the births of his children is tight, the previous child, Mary, was probably born late in 1637 or early in 1638, and in Dorchester, so the date for the move from Dorchester to Windsor would be in the first half of 1638. https://familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/5244153	Gillett, Mary (I106110)

Elsewhere Thomas Warren's birth was considered to be around 1662. ERROR--Thomas Warren deposed he was age 40 in 1718, but died before 1710. (Meet Your Ancestors, by N. H. BOWLING) "The absence of Mary (Barton Warren's name from her brother's Will, her husband's Will and her father's Will indicates she was deceased.

Howard, John Jones, Jno. Willard. 14. 658. According to my records, William Barton mentioned only his grand-daughter, Elizabeth Neale and his daughter, Margaret Miller. Elizabeth Neale was Elizabeth Hungerford, the offspring of William Barton's daughter Margaret and her first husband, William Hungerford. Elizabeth married John Neale sometime around Nov of 1712. At that time, Elizabeth's brother, Barton Hungerford, for 2 shillings, transferred 28 acres of "Hungerford's Choice" to John Neale. (CCLR Liber D#2, page 33). This John Neale was not John Hanson Neale, but he was probably related as John Hanson Neale and Robert Hanson were the witnesses on this dead. Incidentally, I don't know who John Hanson Neale was, either, and there are several Robert Hansons from which to choose. Daughter Margaret Miller was William Barton's daughter, Margaret in a second marriage to Jacob Miller. Jacob died before his inventory was taken sometime during the period March through June 1720. (Both the county and state documents are undated. The entries for Jacob are between entries dated as above.) On 11 Mar 1723/24, Margaret Miller paid 6000 # tob for the purchase of 100 A from Henry Moore for Thomas Morris and Sophia, his wife. (CCLR Liber L#2, page 126) Sophia was most likely her daughter by Jacob Miller--one of the "three youngest children of daughter Margaret" mentioned in William Barton's will. On 1 Jan 1732/33, on the eve of the marriage of her son Jacob Miller and Sarah Martin, daughter of John Martin, Margaret conveyed her "entire estate of inheritance" to Jacob, on condition that he maintain her for the rest of her life in the life-style she has enjoyed. (CCLR Liber M#2, page 313) On 12 Jun 1733, Margaret Miller recorded a deed of gift whereby she conveyed to her son Barton Hungerford the tracts of land "Capell" and "Barton's Woodyard" deeded to her and her husband, William Hungerford, by her father, William Barton, on 13 Jun 1688. (CCLR Liber M#2,page 343) Do you suppose Jacob didn't support her in style? She died sometime after this but I have found no estate documents.

Thomas WARREN; living 1688 William BARTON and Mary had children: A child of William Barton (b. ca. 1634), unnamed in the record was born 25 Mar. 1667. This could be either Mary or Margaret. If Margaret was the child born in 1667, then Mary was born between 1662 and 1667 and could be a child of either wife, Anne SMOOT or Mary. If Mary was born in 1667 then Margaret would have been born between 1662-1667. As Margaret married William Hungerford, Jr., a son of Anne Smoot (1st wife of William Barton) by her first husband William Hungerford, Sr., Margaret cannot be a daughter of Anne Smoot, as that would make she and her husband 1/2 brother and sister. Margaret would have been a child William Barton's second marriage to Mary, as would all children born after her. === Charles County Circuit Court Liber P, Page 6 13 Jun 1688; Indenture from Wm.

Then she married Johannes Hankamer 2-17-1833. He was born 4-1-1798 in Dietz, Germany. They had 4 children.

I've just discovered it and will enjoy seeing what I might discover about our interests (Hankamer, Stengler, Krantz and Wilborn families in southeast Texas.) I do have a couple of suggestions for the following individual (an ancestor of my wife, on whom we've done considerable research) your site's person ID: 138906, name: Johanetta Margaretha Schuster (1) You show her correct birthdate as 7 Sept 1805 near the top of the form, but in the "notes" section it's shown as 1808. (Don't you hate those sneaky topos?) (2) The notes section for her also says "She married Gottfried Wilhelm Kranz, b. Fachingen, Germany and had one child." We have a translation and transcription of a document written in German by Johannetta Schuster Krantz Hankamer Stengler and others, which shows Johanetta and Gottfried Kranz had two children. Here's an excerpt from that document which includes the information from Johannetta: "On the 10th of ?(Dec) 1827, I gave G.K. my heart and my hand. On the 1st of Jan, 1828, we were married. [This would be marriage of Gottfried Kranz and Johanetta Schuster]" "On the 25th of Feb. 1829 was born to me my son --------" [name was illegible on the original] On the 15th of Jan, 1831 my dear ------ died. [unable to read the name for this death.] On the 21st of Jan, 1831, was born to me my daughter Wilhelmina. On the 12th of July, 1831, ----------- died, at 7 hours and 8 minutes. [Unable to read this name, but other information known about this family does not include a son born in 1829, so it seems likely one of the two deaths in 1831 refers to the son born in 1829.] On the 16th of December, 1831 my beloved husband died, --- hours and 10 minutes. [This would be her first husband, Gottfeied Krantz]. I don't include attachments to email's unless requested to do so, but if you'd like a Word file with the transcription of the entire document referenced above, I'd be happy to send it to you.

1284	(Editor's note: The June 1955 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No.10, sparksfamilyassociation.net contained an article entitled "Col. William C. Sparks and His Descendants." According to the information available at that time, William Crain Sparks was born on June 14, 1798, in Tennessee and was thought to have been a son of a Richard and Mildred (Crain) Sparks. Data uncovered since the publication of that article indicate that the parents were not Richard and Mildred (Crain) Sparks, but were probably James and Nancy "Ann" Sparks of Franklin County, Georgia. The same data also show that the paternal grandparents of William Crain Sparks were Thomas and Amelia "Milly" Sparks who moved from Franklin County, Georgia, to Alabama about 1820. Other children of Thomas and Milly Sparks were Elijah Sparks, Thomas Sparks, Jr., and John Sparks. http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/42139026/person/20471881425/media/1?pgnum=1&pg=0&pgpl=pid%7cpgNum	Sparks, Col.

1286	(extracted from a letter from Michael C. Wright to "Jeffrey" and published on his website at http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/e/jeffw100/DeaconSamuel.htm Though our research is not yet completed on the matter of the Deacon's parentage, the best alternative candidate at this time remains John, Esq., Martha (Castell) Wright of London/ Havering/ Wrightsbridge, whom others (don Wright's group) have previously proposed. John Wright, Esq., born in 1569 to Lord John Wright and Elizabeth Linsell and was Lord John Wright's eldest son. He attended Cambridge University and then studied the law after admission to Grays Inn. By all accounts John Wright Esq. was a Puritan leaning Protestant. Lord John Wright was no doubt also a Protestant sympathizing Peer in the House of Lords (peerage granted by Elizabeth I, June 20, 1590). In 1612 John Wright, Esq. was appointed a clerk to the House of Commons and was no doubt a Puritan leaning Protestant who would perhaps have been a bit at odds with his father in the House of Lords over how to deal with the refusal of King James I to share any power of governance with Parliament. There is an existent Parliamentary document protesting some actions of King James I with John Wright's signature on it in his capacity as clerk of the House of Commons. Such a prominent display of animosity with the King by a recognizable family member would no doubt have disturbed even a Protestant Peer of the House of Lords! It is not possible to tell how well Lord John Wright and his eldest son got along. Because Lord John lived to a ripe old age, the fact that John Wright, Esq. never inherited the estates of Wrightsbridge and Dagenhams could perhaps mean only that John Wright Esq. was already too well established and advanced in years to be considered a suitable heir for such a large estate, or it could mean that there was a rift between them or it could have been that John Esq. simply disdained the family estate and its landed gentry style of living. In any case, he had homes in London and Havering and seems only to have been a visitor at Wrightsbridge, never its Lord. His sons with Martha Castell were John (1599) Nathaniel (1604) Samuel (1606) and Robert (1609). Martha died in 1610 and he did not remarry until about 1618 to Fortune (Garaway) Blount, widow of Sir Edward Blount. By Fortune he had at least one known child, James. It is the Samuel baptized on June 29 or 30 (the Roman numerals look like they could be either XXIX or XXX) 1606, in the South Weald parish church of St. Peters. Just before this baptism we see in the parish record that Samuel's uncle, Samuel Wright (bapt. 1571), son of John Wright of the Bridge (Lord John Wright) and younger brother of John Wright, Esq. died and was buried in South Weald. It is very likely that Samuel was named after this uncle who had just died. (snip) Michael C.

1290	(from Debbie) The following is an e-mail from a very nice lady named Diane Francis. I found her on a forum looking for info on her Cort, Ainsworth lines. Her reply gives me hope that we have at last found when and where Thomas Court entered the U.S. I'm still investigating, but wanted to share the news. I have asked her for more information and will let you all know as soon as I receive her reply. This is her e-mail to me: Hi Debbie I'm not sure that your ancestors are related as we don't have any Thomas Cort born around that time. I have however looked up passenger lists for the years 1820 /1830 and there is listed a Thomes Court, age unknown , who arrived in USA 1826. Ship: Delas Port of departure Liverpool Port of Arrival: New Orleans Date of Arival: March 2, 1826. This would tie in with your dates. There are severals strands of the Cort family in the Lancashire area. Also the family of Henry Cort the inventor. They came from Lancaster.Hope this is of some use. If there is anything I can do , let me know. Good hunting Di. --- "Maybe someday one of us will luck out and find more info or the actual manifest somewhere.

1291	(from email from Charlie Vincent - cvincent@281.com) The Gentz or Gantz name is familiar because a woman by that name married John Stewart in Sabine Pass in the mid-1800s. John's sister was Margaret Stewart, who was married to another of my great grandfathers, C.W. (Colin) Balston, who served with Spaight's troops at Sabine Pass and was later assigned to one of the ships the Confederates captured there 8 Sept. 1863. Thanks again, Charlie --- (ancestry.com) Inquiry abt John Stewart from Chris Miller My name is Chris Miller and I'm looking for information on John STEWART (ancestors and descendants and how John got to Texas). I hope the following story will ring a bell. During the Civil War, John Stewart was captain of the gunboat Clifton (Previously caputed from the North and used by the South for blockade-running of cotton to Mexico.). One day during a heavy fog, the Clifton ran aground off the coast of Sabine Pass, Texas. Two Yankee gunboats were in pursuit in an effort to recapture the Clifton and its cargo. To prevent recapture, Captain Stewart ordered the cotton to be saturated with kersene and the ship set afire. The crew walked to Sabine Pass. In due time, the rocker-arm of the ship was salvaged and mounted on a concrete base on the bank of the Sabine River, within the city of Beaumont, as a memorial to the courageous crew. John's son Willie, John's first marriage, married Emma ALLEN (both of Sabine Pass, Jefferson County, Texas). Willie and Emma died in 1896-1898 leaving their 5 children as orphans. They all moved in with an Aunt Kate Stewart in Mobile, Alabama. I have information once the family got to Alabama. Thank you for your help, Chris.	Stewart, Capt. of "Clifton" John W.

1292	(from email from Michael Wright) As with many of the emerging gentry families in the years of the reign of Elizabeth I, men of the Wright family were privileged enough to go to University at a time when the Universities were coming into their own as institutions of intellectual freedom and radical thinking. As a result many of them came home from their school days with even more radical ideas of what religion should be that went beyond the simplifications of the Catholic faith that Henry VIII's and Elizabeth I's Common Book of Prayer represent. These 'enlightened' Englishmen and their European counterparts (such as Luther and Calvin) brought a wave of intellectualization to religion that had not previously held much sway as a political force within either the Catholic or Anglican church. By the mid 1580' their 'Puritan' ideas had gained enough of a following among the high and mighty of England, that the influential followers of this intellectualized Protestant faith, such as Sir Walter Mildmay, Exchequer to the Queen and Sir Robert Rich, Lord of the Ongar Hundred, dared to establish colleges for the training of 'Anglican' ministers in the 'Puritan' style. One such college was Emmanuel College at Cambridge University, established in 1584 by Sir Mildmay. Dea. Samuel Wright's father, John Wright, Esq., Clerk of the House of Commons (1613 - 1639), matriculated Emmanuel College in 1585 in its second class, presumably as a prelude to entering the ministry. However, it is apparent that he was of a less ideological nature and more of a practical man. He entered the study of the law at Gray's Inn rather than continue studies to become a minister and became a quite influential London barrister, becoming the King's man in the House of commons by assuming the role of Clerk of the House of Commons in 1613 and holding that post continuously until just before his death. The Clerk was paid from the King's Exchequer and owed the King his primary allegiance, but in 1621 John Wright was arrested by the King and his papers confiscated because he was involved in a matter King James considered contrary to the interests of the Crown. John Wright was, to some degree, hisÂ own man and a man of the Commons rather than its overseer as the King intended.	Wright, John* III, Esq. (I43735)
1293	(from email from Michael Wright) Dea. Samuel Wright also matriculated Emmanuel in 1624 and seems to have found no living to his liking in ministry in England and went to New England seeking religious freedom and adventure.	Wright, Deacon Samuel* Sr. (I5450)
1294	(from email from Michael Wright) Even Nathaniel and Lydia (nee James) Wright's eldest son, Samuel, attended Emmanuel College. This Samuel Wright matriculated Emmanuel as a 29 year old man in 1644 and later received a DD degree from Oxford. That is how we know he was not the Deacon Samuel Wright who was in Agawam (Springfield) in 1639.	Wright, Samuel (I43756)
1295	(from email from Michael Wright) Later, John Wright's eldest son, John, also attended Emmanuel and went on into the law via Grays Inn.	Wright, John (I43739)
1296	(From Foxlover@aol.com) Samuel was on the list of inhabitance in 1656, also Ralph Hunt named one of his sons Samuel. as I have checked the other Samuels in the area and this is the only one that fits in to the age group old enough to be a parent to Anna.
