    Notes:

    Born: about 1620
    Married: Damaris ?Stockett/Stockwell.
    He died before January 22, 1673 leaving a wife, Damaras, a son, Samuel, and a dau., Sarah. He was granted by patent (surveyed 1651) land on the south side of the Servern, all in the middle neck hundred. [TQFOAAC].
    Her unusual name also appears in Powell family of which a Damaris b about 1640 m Charles Fowkes. This is compatible with the description in Maryland Archive "....Damaris Wyatt, who took Attorney Thomas Bland as her third husband, was an approve d midwife. She and Nicholas Wyatt, her second husband, with a daughter by her first husband, had come from Virginia into Maryland, and settled on the Severn River. Wyatt, who may have been a surveyor, had laid out for him several parcels of lan d on the south side of the river, and there they lived. He died late in 1672 or early in 1673, for his will was probated in January 1673. Damaris went on living in the same place, and, on October 4, 1673, she took ?One Dorothy Bruton into her ho use who was then very sick and bigg with Child? (post, p. 261) and cared for her for three weeks. Edward Gardner, whose interest in Dorothy is nowhere explained, had especially asked Damaris to do this, and he had ?faithfully promise[d] to satis fie the said Damoris what she Should reasonably deserve? (ibid.). There may have been some connection between Gardner and Dorothy Bruton: she was never called Mrs., and never said to have had a husband. When she died, in July 1675, she left tw o daughters, and she made Gardner her executor. ...."

    Stockett may be the name of a previous husband.

    was born about 1690 in Middle Neck Hundred of St. Anne's Parish. At
    the writing of his father's will in 1704, he was mentioned as being
    less than 16 years of age. From his father's estate he inherited 100
    acres of 'Long Reach', which lay in old Baltimore County Nicholas died
    at a young age leaving a widow and four infants. He was buried on

    seemed as if the Widow Dorsey was a poor manager and by 1724, as
    'Frances Dorsey, Widow, of Baltimore County' she prayed relief from her
    creditors, yet at the final account filed by her on Jul. 30, 1725,

    100 acres of Long Reach, 2 silver spoons, a new gun, and a horse named
    Dick to be delivered to him at the age of 16 years." "The estate of
    Nicholas Dorsey was appraised on July 4, 1718...the inventory included
    a Bible, testament, spelling book, psalter, money scales, pocket sack
    (?), 2 small deal boxes, chest, lock and key, negroes, Tom, Hagar,
