    In the list of heirs of William Duke, there were John & William Duke. At one time, I included them as children of William. I now believe they were children of William's son Richard Duke, who had predeceased his father. Richard did have sons John & William, who appeared in assorted records.

    Comments: Hello,
    I was just wondering if you had any updates on William Duke/my many greats grandfather (born abt 1750 Maryland)(Died abt 1818 Virgina). I have been stuck on who his father/ mother is. I have not found any good research on his parents and going back to his past. I have been on a sticking place for awhile now. Thank you for any assistance.
    I enjoy your set up on here and how you have things.

    Note: Mary Ricketts was named as a granddaughter of Thomas Mobberly in his will. The account of Reizen and John Mobberly of Thomas Mobberly Senr late of Ann Arundel County deced, dated 16 Aug 1770, reports a legacy left by the Deceased to Mary Ricketts the Wife of William Duke.

    this is not verifying who her mother was. The site
    http://www.ovis.net/~billcham/html/d0001/g0000035.html#I15227
    listed all the Mobberly children of Thomas, one of which was a dau Mary. But this is just a guess.

    I have found in my files a note form a Prerogative Court Accounts of Arundel Co, MD dated 16 Aug 1770 for the Thomas Mobberly estate a "legacy left by the deceased to Mary Ricketts, the wife of Willima Duke....
    This could be the father of out Sarah Duke Compton.
    (note: this would be her grandfather.)

    ----------
    some researchers online show her with a middle name of Thornton, even some have her maiden name as Thornton, which is not correct, and it is doubtful that she had a first marriage to a Thornton.
