Ai^\l i/. alju^'^^^ \ Richard Henry Spencer PREFACE The preparation of this pedigree and the history of the allied families, was undertaken at the request of a relative, now deceased, a daughter of one of the most cultivated and dis- tinguished members of the Thomas family. Pride of birth has in all ages and in all countries existed; and as naturally, yet with greater reason, as pride of strength, pride of beauty or pride of wealth. This feeling has been cher- ished by the greatest nations of antiquity, it was carried to its fullest extent during Mediaeval life in England, and it has continued to the present day. Plutarch dwells with compla- cency on nobility of birth and Byron, it is said, was prouder of being descended from those de Burons who accompanied William the Conqueror into England, than of having been the author of Childe Harold and Manfred. It is almost impossible not to have a laudable desire to know something of the departed, and curiosity about our progenitors seems quite natural. It gives one pleasure and delight to con- template the names and deeds, the struggles and services of those whose blood circulates through our veins. If they were ennobled, or were honored in any way above their fellows, it was because they were entitled to some distinction, for having led useful and honorable lives and had left their impress upon the history of their times. Their lives, therefore, are more interesting and instructive to us because they had accomplished something in the drama of life. There is inspiration in a well spent life, and there is poetry in a ruined abbey or a crumbling castle. "There was a morning when I longed for fame, There was a noontide when I passed it by, There is an evening when I think not shame Its substance and its being to deny; For if men bear in mind great deeds—the name Of him that wrought them shall they leave to die? Of if his name they shall have deathless writ, They change the deeds that first ennobled it." ii PREFACE It has been said that "a simple pedigree has no more inter- est than a tree without foliage," but the history of our ancient families, if written in a popular manner, attractive in style and in decoration, with noteworthy incidents and circumstances connected with the family in the past, would be interesting to their kindred and entertaining to the public. It is true "The glories of our birth and state Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate, Death lays his icy hand on Kings, Sceptre and Crown Must tumble down. And, in the dust, be equal made With the poor, crooked scythe and spade." The early settlers of the Province of Maryland found the country bordering upon the Chesapeake a highly favored region, and none more so than the Eastern Shore, with its numerous creeks and rivers and delightful climate. These colonists came from different parts of England and so charmed were they with this part of the New World, that very few ever returned to the mother country again to live. They brought with them all the best traits of those who were accustomed to English country life, and now, after the lapse of more than two hun- dred and fifty years, many of the estates are in the possession of the descendants of the original proprietors. Those of us who remember the genuine hospitality of the lande/d gentry of the Eastern Shore and of Southern Maryland, before the Civil War, know that its grace and charm has never been excelled anywhere. Several years ago, a writer in the Springfield (Mass.) Repub- lican, in giving a New Englander's views of the Eastern Shore, said; "A land of quiet, the Eastern Shore seems but a step removed from Colonial America and still within hailing dis- tance of rural England. On summer nights, when the moon- light lies denpe on the fields of ripening wheat, and the shadows temper ai^d subdue the new-world crudity of outline that lin- gers even in this old corner of Maryland, the peaceful land- PREFACE iii scape, so rich with atmosphere, wants only the hedgerows to make one imagine it the mother country herself, just as the society might conceivably be that of Somerset or Devon. The English gentry that settled the Eastern Shore retain the purity of the good county stock from which they are sprung. No alien inroads have disturbed their peaceful existence. Their civilization is rich with the gracious tradition of inherited gen- tility. It is conservative, aristocratic, withal intensely South- ern. The county families might be called a ' close corporation,' if commercial language could possibly be applied to them at all. So far as the native born go, their number is fixed. Once accepted, no family can drop out of the enchanted circle until its members have perished from the earth. A great name in the county is indeed 'a name forever.' Everybody knows everybody else, and most of them are kindred. Cousins and double cousins abound. The life itself is natural and whole- some; outside sports on land and water, according to season; generous hospitality at all times. Church on Sundays, and the baying of the hounds is to the Eastern Shore man as wine to the blood." At the celebration of the one hundredth birthday of Easton, Talbot County, on 26 July 1888, the late General Bradley T. Johnson, after speaking of the virtues and influence of the men of the Eastern Shore, who had left evidences of their greatness behind them, and dwelling upon their patriotism, love of home, of honor, their chivalry and gallantry, "there is," he said, ''no soil, no climate, no sea, no air, which is likely to evolve a higher civilization or a higher race of men and women than this blessed and favored region. Of this, by common acclaim, the Eastern Shore is the garden, and the county of Talbot the flower. For two centuries it has been the seat of high culture, of broad and liberal ideas, of devotion to honor, right and principle, and has given to the State brave, true and wise statesmen. Never since the 23rd day of April 1667, when Colonel William Coursey was commissioned High Sheriff of Talbot County, and the 6th of July following, when Philemon Lloyd was commissioned Captain of the horse of Chester and iv PREFACE Wye River, has Talbot County ever been lacking in sons to serve the State in time of trial. For two hundred years there never has been a generation in which she did not give to the public service her sons of the blood of Lloyd, Tilghman, Golds- borough, Kerr, Hollyday and Thomas, and never have they failed to respond to her call to duty," No pains have been spared to make the pedigree as accurate and reliable as possible, in every particular. The history of the allied families, nearly all of whom early settled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, showing who they were and where they came from in the mother-country, gathered from various sources, with the origin of the surname, and in a few instances making the family connection, I trust will be interesting to the descendants and entertaining to the general reader. If Fiction pleases so much the more should Truth, and when we read of the deeds and exploits of our an- cestors in days long gone by, our gratification should be great indeed and our pleasure intensified.

The surname has been borne by many who have been distinguished in all the various walks of life, civil and military. A number of them have been knighted or otherwise honored for services rendered their King and country, notably Sir Rhys Ap Thomas, born in 1451, a celebrated chieftain of South "Wales, of ancient lineage and vast possessions, who fought gallantly at Bosworth Field, principally with his own retainers, and according to some authorities "did more than any one man to place Henry vii, the first of the Tudors, upon the throne of England," and who conferred many honors and dignities upon him. He was Constable and Lieutenant of Brecknock, Chamber- lain of Caermarthen and Cardigan, Seneschal and Chancellor of Haverfordwest, Rhoos and Builth, Justiciary of South Wales, and Governor of all Wales, Knight Banneret and Knight of the Garter, a Privy Councillor of Henry vii, and a favorite of Henry viii, who also bestowed many honors upon him. He fought in five battles, held the most famous tourney in Wales, at Carew Castle, his residence, and died in 1527, full of years and honors. Among the early emigrants to America, during the reign of Charles i, was Christopher Thomas, born in 1609, in County Kent, England, who arrived in Virginia in June 1635, at the age of twenty-six years.

  • "Fifth" Maryland at Guilford Courthouse: an Exercise in Historical Accuracy - L
    HOME CMTE. SUBMISSIONS THE "FIFTH" MARYLAND AT GUILFORD COURTHOUSE: AN EXERCISE IN HISTORICAL ACCURACY - L. E. Babits, February 1988 Over the years, an error has gradually crept into the history of the Maryland Line. The error involves a case of mistaken regimental identity in which the Fifth Maryland is credited with participation in the battle of Guilford Courthouse at the expense of the Second Maryland.[1] When this error appeared in the Maryland Historical Magazine,[2] it seemed time to set the record straight. The various errors seem to originate with Mark Boatner. In his Encyclopedia of the American Revolution, Boatner, while describing the fight at Guilford Courthouse, states: As the 2/Gds prepared to attack without waiting for the three other regiments to arrive, Otho Williams, "charmed with the late demeanor of the first regiment (I Md), hastened toward the second (5th Md) expecting a similar display...". But the 5th Maryland was virtually a new regiment. "The sight of the scarlet and steel was too much for their nerves," says Ward.[3] In this paragraph Boatner demonstrates an ignorance of the actual command and organizational structure of Greene's Southern Army because he quotes from Ward's l94l work on the Delaware Line and Henry Lee's recollections of the war, both of which correctly identify the unit in question as the Second Maryland Regiment.[4] The writer of the Kerrenhappuch Turner article simply referred to Boatner's general reference on the Revolutionary War for the regimental designation.[5] Other writers have done

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in Maryland Founding the Proprietary Colony The founding and establishment of the propriety government of Maryland was the product of competing factors—political, commercial, social, and religious. It was intertwined with the history of one family, the Calverts, who were well established among the Yorkshire gentry and whose Catholic sympathies were widely known. George Calvert had been a favorite of the Stuart king, James I. In 1625, following a noteworthy career in politics, including periods as clerk of the Privy Council, member of Parliament, special emissary abroad of the king, and a principal secretary of state, Calvert openly declared his Catholicism. This declaration closed any future possibility of public office for him. Shortly thereafter, James elevated Calvert to the Irish peerage as the baron of Baltimore. Calvert’s absence from public office afforded him an opportunity to pursue his interests in overseas colonization. Calvert appealed to Charles I, son of James, for a land grant.1 Calvert’s appeal was honored, but he did not live to see a charter issued. In 1632, Charles granted a proprietary charter to Cecil Calvert, George’s son and the second baron of Baltimore, making him Maryland’s first proprietor. Maryland’s charter was the first long-lasting one of its kind to be issued among the thirteen mainland British American colonies. Proprietorships represented a real share in the king’s authority. They extended unusual power. Maryland’s charter, which constituted Calvert and his heirs as “the true and absolute Lords and Proprietaries of the Region,” might have been “the best example of a sweeping grant of power to a proprietor.” Proprietors could award land grants, confer titles, and establish courts, which included the prerogative of hearing appeals.

  • Major Francis Wright
    Major Francis Wright, son, John Wright I, and grandson, John Wright II Summary by Michelle Fansler written 28 May 2019 using source: Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine Vol. 4 No. 8 January, 1923 “The Washington-Wright Connection and Some Descendants of Major Francis and Anne (Washington) Wright” by Charles Arthur Hoppin https://books.google.com/books?id=BbNYAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_ r&cad=0#v=thumbnail&q&f=false Major Francis Wright (1659-1713, 53 years) Childhood: According to the article written in the link above Francis Wright's father, Richard Wright, died when Francis was less than five years old. His guardian, Nicholas Spencer, who was the Secretary of the Virginia Colony for ten years from 1679-1689 was "second in rank only to the Governor." Francis received an education for the law and visited England with his Uncle Nicholas Spencer. (Francis Wright’s mother, Anne Mottrom Wright, was sister to Frances Mottrom Spencer who married Nicholas Spencer.) Property: When Francis Wright was 18 years old he received 1400 acres fronting the Potomac river and flanked by Nomini bay and Lower Machodoc river where he lived for 35 years making improvements. He started serving as justice of the peace of the county Westmoreland, Virginia around age 24. He married Anne Washington, sister of Lawrence Washington (grandfather of Pres. George Washington). She received an inheritance of 1400 acres also. Character: Francis Wright “was active, influential and comfortable, always appearing in the records as a man who upheld the prestige of his caste and insisted upon his rights; but, as to his service in official positions, he has left evidence of that consideration for others less fortunate than himself which characterizes a true gentleman” (Hoppin 155).
