THis wek I came across a artice on the Middleton Family published in the Pennsylvania Genealogiocal Magazine Volume 19 In it it states that James Middleton and sarah Smith had a daughter Mary who married a ___
Hawkins. The information you sent on the family said Mary Ann married our Ancestor Zachariah Compton. Could this have been a second marriage for Mary? Every thing else fits very nicely so wondered.
MOre later as I keep digging. Is also some good commenst of the Wheeler and Smith Families in the above articel also

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.

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Birth: 26 Jun 1709, St.Mary's City, St.Mary's Co, Maryland

Notes:

Birth date from Calvert Co Newsletter, Apr 1996, p. 2.

From Sarah Browder: In 1957 Bible in possession of Keith Compton, Clayton, NC, will 1770 St. Mary's Co, MD, another family Bible in poss. of Jane Harrison Clagett; deeded land by father in 1737; on 25 May 1754 Matthew Compton, planter and wife, Rachel, conveyed to MatthewMartain (all of Charles Co) for 7123 pounds of tobacco a portion of tract known as "Gisborough", land passed down to Comptons by Margaret Dent, daughter of Thomas Dent of St. Mary's Co, who married Edmund Howard 26 may 1681, then of Somerset but later of Charles Co; they being grandparents of Rachel Howard Compton, the land lying in Charles Co being 156 acres. On same date, 25 May 1754, Matthew Compton and wife Rachel, for 1898 pounds of tobacco the amount of 50 acres from "Gillsborough", "Gisborough" being 164 acres. On 1 Dec 1757, Matthew of Charles Co, conveyed to William Compton, planter, for 6000 pounds of tobacco "Wilton" of 149 acres.

(Vol. 2, #1191)
He received certain land grants 1733 in Charles Co, Maryland.
________
1733, Dec 15: will of William Stevens Howard, planter, Charles County, gave to daughter Rachel, wife of Mathew Compton, personalty. [This does seem be referring to Matthew Compton Jr, since in the will of Matthew Compton, 1770, St Mary's Co, he names, among others, his wife Rachel. He left to Barton, Alex. and Edmund H, dwelling plantation of "Wornout", son Stephen a portion of that property, estate divided equally between Matthew, John, Susannah, Barton, Alex., and Edmund H. Witnesses were Robert Slye Wood and Henry Morris and Samuel Briscoe.

Charles County Court Records, August 1741 Court, Liber T#2, Page 243.
Pursuant to the order of last Aug CC Court, Commission issued on Aug 16, 1740 to Saml Hanson Jr, William Eilbeck, Wm McFerson Sr, Richard Gambra of CC, Gent (not being any way related to the petitioner, contiguous proprietor, nor interested in sd land), to examine witnesses touching the bounds of a tract of land in CC called Guisborough in possession of Matthew Compton Jr.
And now here, Richard Gambra and William McFerson, return to this Court the Commission with the following certificate & the subsequent deposition -
We hereby certify that on Mar 30, 1741, we met on the premises within mentioned, and took 1 deposition relating to the bounds of the within land. Signed - Richard Gambra, Will'm McFerson.

Will dated February 1770, refers to his land called "Worncoat," which he specifically leaves to wife Rachel during her widowhood, leaving his entire estate to her "unless she marry." He provides that the land shall fall to son Stephen if he has heirs; if not, to Matthew if he has heirs; if not, to John, if he has heirs; or to Barton,, or to Alexander, or to Edmund Howard, whichever has heirs. The will shows that of his six children three are under age and neighter of the other three had children at the time of the making of the will. Matthew Compton signed his will in his own hand before witnesses: Robert Slye Wood, Henry Moris, and Saml. Briscoe. The probate was made in St. Mary's Co on the 3rd day of Sep 1770 in the presence of Rachel Compton, the widow, and the three witnesses. No son Zachariah was named in the will.

He signed a will in Feb 1770-12 Sep 1770 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland, USA. Mathew Compton wife Rachel "Worncout" residence, sons Barton, Alexander, Edmund Howard, Stephen, Mathew & John, Mathew Compton St.to Six Children Barton Alexander Compton, Edmund Howard Compton, Stephen, Mathew, John, Susannah Compton.
Tract Worncoat. Wit Robert Slye Wood, Henry Morris, Samuel Briscoe. Widow Abides by Will.
Matthew Compton's will dated Sep 23, 1770, leaves his whole estate to his wife Rachel Compton, "unless she marry." If this should be the case, then instructions were left for the estate to be divided as follows: Children, Sons: Barton, Alexander, Edmund Howard Compton, to son Stephen, if he die without heir the to John then to Barton, Alexander, Edmund Howard

Mathew* married Rachel* Howard on 31 Dec 1731 in Trinity Parish, Charles Co, Maryland. Rachel* (daughter of William* Stevens Howard and (dau?) Elizabeth* Douglass(?), (dau?)) was born in 1714 in Calvert Co, Maryland; died on 25 Dec 1789 in Charles Co, Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Other-Begin: 15 Dec 1733, Charles Co, Maryland; father's will

Notes:

William Stevens Howard's will 1733: To daughter Rachel wife of Mathew COMPTON personalty. Residue of estate after wife's thirds are deducted, to four young children: viz. William, Elizabeth, Susannah, & Sarah. Test. Benjamin DOUGLASS, Sr. Philip JENKINS, Benjamin DOUGLAS Jr. [L21f55].

The mother of Rachel Howard needs more investigation. William Stevens' brother Thomas was married to an Elizabeth Douglass. William Stevens' first wife was apparently Elizabeth Douglass. The Elizabeth who was married to Thomas was a widow d was married to Thomas in 1714, so she apparently is not one and the same with the Elizabeth Douglass who was the first wife of William Stevens Howard. Sarah Briscoe's first husband died in 1717, but it's possible they had divorced rather than she being widowed. In William Stevens will he left legacy to 4 young children and Rachel, wife of Mathew Compton. Since Rachel was already married and he had 4 young children, assumption is that Rachel was the child of his first wife.


Other-Begin:
Heir: 15 Dec 1733-29 Apr 1734, Charles Co., Maryland, USA. William Stevens HOWARD, planter, Charles Co., MD 15 Dec.1733-29 Apr. 1734. ..." To daughter Rachel wife of Mathew COMPTON personalty."...

Notes:

Rachel married Mathew COMPTON Sr., son of Matthew COMPTON and Susannah BRISCOE, on 31 Dec 1731 in Trinity Parish, Charles Co., Maryland, USA.
