Messrs. Editors Can J. T. New Rochelle, N. give me any Information about parents of Ann Parsons, born January 28, 1773, who married Electus MIddleton, June 27, 1798, my great-grandfather? I think she came from Rockbridge county, Virginia.

A. H. Messrs. Editors: Was there' any relationship existing between Capt. Henry WTard, an early settler In Cecil county, Maryland, and John Ward, who was born about 1663 and died in Cecil county in 1747.

J. A. K. Messrs. Editors: I notice In my' letter of July 21 there are several mistakes, I suppose made.

In print. Mr. Charles Townley Maddoxwas born at Val Vird, and not Valley View, Prince George's county, and Mr. John Stuart Skinner was his uncle, who was the Postmaster of Baltimore before him, and his wife was Miss Mary Cottman. The Maddox family was an'old St Mary's family.

I see of Washington, wants my authority for A. Beall, who married Eleanor Greenfield. He was Col. Joshua Beall. Sarah, Eleanor and Susan Green field were the children of James Greenfield.

I think, If she wants to know about the Bdall family, she might ask Mrs. W. T. of North Keys; for that family. Mas, J.

H. C. Beacon Ridge, Anne Arundel county, Md. Messrs. Editorss Samuel Wade Magruder married Lucy Beall and had a son who married Elizabeth Lynn and had but one child, Betsy Lynn Magruder, who married John Wootton and had 12 children.

Open letters pertaining to the Skinner family were published In the Sunday Sun of March 3, 10 and 24, April 21 and June 16, 1907.

Messr a. Editors: Henry Wright came from England and located In Maryland, where he died about 1750. By his wife, Eleanor Sprigg, daughter of Thomas Sprigg, he had, according to the "Thomas Book" (Rev. L. B.

Thomas), two daughters Mary Wright, who married Thomas Snowden (from which marriage descends Lord Fairfax and Margaret Wright-According to the register of St. John's Parish, Plscataway, Henry Wright Gantt, son of John and Margaret Gantt, was baptized October 23, 1763, and a daughter, Margaret Gantt, July 11, 1761. The dates, the twice, occurring Margaret and the unusual first name "Henry Wright" would seem to Indicate that this was the other child of Henry Wright and Eleanor Sprigg. Can any of your readers throw any light on this subject or tell who were the "parents of this John Gantt, and whether any of his children married and left issue a Essington. Messrs.

Editors: Mrs. Walter D. Mansfield, in her interesting notes In The Sun of August 11, writes "The names of Cromwell and Wilmott and Taylor are linked with my earliest ancestors. Anne Arundel county was the final settlement of a little band of New Yorkers, who came up through Delaware the Ash- mans, Jacobses, Walkers, Wilmotts, etc" I should like very much' to know where she obtained this Information. My records show the arrival in 1671, on board the ship Benoni Eaton, from England, of William and John Cromwell.

They settled first in Calvert county, moving soon to Baltimore county, Richard Cromwell following them in 1682. John Wilmott settled about the same time in Calvert county, moving later to Baltimore county. George Ashman, so family tradition, "oft repeated," states, came direct from England about 1680. I have no records of the Taylors or the Jacobses. From the information' I have been able to.

obtain, there were no settlers In Anne Arundel county prior, to 1700 who came overland via Delaware. I have no records of John Cromwell in Maryland after 1672. It is said he married Elizabeth Ball, daughter of William and Mary Ball, He may be the John Cromwell, of Castle Neck or Cromwell's Neck, Westchester county, N. or the John Cromwell who married Elizabeth mentioned by. Mrs.

Mansfield. C. Elkrldge, Howard county, Md. Messrs. Editors: I will appreciate any information In regard to the Parker brothers, that emigrated from England to this country pome time In 1700.

Drewry Parker settled in Virginia and- reared his family there. One son, Thomas Parker, married Miss Charlotte Tyler Allen In. Columbia county, Georgia, in 1803. Solomon Parker moved to Georgia the same time Drewry settled in Virginia. I Bi Jane Ghiffxth Kits.

Giles Cooke, tobacco agent (1714) for Gloucester county, third son of Mordecal of Mordecai's Mount, disappeared 'rom the records of Gloucester county early 1700.

There is a tradition, still spoken of in the family, that he Joined the expedition led by Gov. Alexander Spottswood in 171G across the Blue Ridge Mountains to conquer and claim the undiscovered country for England and the King. If this tradition, can be proved, then Giles Cooke, tobacco Inspector of 1714, had the honor of being one of the Knights of the Golden IIorsshoe. This expedition, perhaps the most gallant and romantic of Colonial history, succeeded planting the royal banner of England on the highest peak of the Blue Ridge Mountains and claimed for England and King GeDrge I the whole country west of that, little dreaming that the claim covered a continent. It Is a true saying that the "Old Dominion of Virginia extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific." The family history in regard to the descendants of Giles Cooke now living in Jef ferson county.

Virginia, also states that Giles Cooke, Knight of the Golden Horseshoe, was so impressed with the beauty and fertility of the Valley of Virginia tnat ne decided to take up land and remain there with the rangers, who In that day were al ways pushing farther and yet fartner west. From the faet tnat tne aescenaants or Giles Cooke are still to be found in Jefferson, formerly Frederick county, to this dav. I think this story undoubtedly true. That he was a Knight of the Golden Horse shoe is yet to be proved. In searching tne old records or iorxn- ampton county this sumer I came across the following marriage record: "Giles Cooke, of Gloucester county, ta Margaret Savage, daughter of Esther, Oc tober 3, 1750." In following the records 1 substantiated the fact that Margaret Savage, wife of Giles Cooke, of Gloucester, was the daugn ter of Captain Thomas and Esther (Lyttle-ton) Savage, of Northampton county, Vir ginia.

In 1736-8 Captain Thomas and Esther Savage made a deed of of some very valuable land to their daughter Margaret and her sisters. In tracing the record of this land I found that Giles Cooke and his wife Margaret lived, for a time in Kent county, Maryland, near his brother-in-law, William Raisin, of Kent county, Maryland, and afterward removed to Berkeley county, Virginia, where Giles Cooke owned land, which he had taken up himself or Inherit ed from his father, Giles Cooke, tobacco Inspecting agent, 1714. In Berkeley ana Jefferson counties I found the will of Giles Cooke, his wife Margaret, and various deeds of land which referred to the "deed of gift" from Captain Thomas and Esther Savage Cooke, which identified him beyond dispute as the Giles Cooke who married Margaret Savage In 1750, In Northampton county, Virginia. Giles and Margaret (Savage) Cooke had issue five children, or perhaps more. Giles Cooke, was appointed guardian of his five children to receive the bequests left to them by their grandmother, Esther, wife of Capt.

Thomas Savage, will dated 1763. Giles and Margaret (Savage) Cooke had issue: (1) Giles -Cooke, who lived and died in Jefferson county, leaving one son, Giles Forrest Cooke, who removed to St. Louis, (2) William Cooke; (3) Margaret Cooke, who married Gen. Cato Moore, of the Revolutionary Army. They had issue: Henry Lee's family.

Any date on these points will be gladly received. E. S. N. Beale, W.

T. Los Angeles, CaL v. Messrs. Editors: Many of us Cookes have asked to have the Cooke ancestry traced, and now we are rejoicing to see the name in your columns. Are the Virginia Cookes, the Maryland Cookes of the Eastern Shore and the family of John Esten Cooke of one family? Cook's Point, Maryland, is named from some remote ancestor of my own, and I am most anxious to trace up this line of Cookes.

One Edward Cook married Hannah Rose, of Virginia, In the early part of 1830's. The Bowie family also, I believe. Intermarried with the Cookes. May I hope for an answer to my requests through your most Interesting column? Columbus, Ohio. A.

Messrs. Editors: Perhaps "Descendant" of Elizabeth M. Fuqua will find this Interesting Susette Rochette, daughter of Moses Rochette, of Sedan, France, was' a. young Huguenot, who escaped from France to nolland soon after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, being confined for the earlier part of the voyage In a hogshead and released by the friendly ship's captain and allowed to Join two elder sisters, who had formerly gone to Holland. Here Bhe married a Frenchman, Abraham Ml-cheaux, nephew of the celebrated French Minister, M.

Jaures Sauvrln, son of an advocate at Nismes- Abraham MIcheaux and his wife had 12 children, from whom many of the prominent families of Virginia are descended. MIcheaux lived for a while in Stafford, on the Potomac, after moving from Holland, but later Joined a settlement of Huguenots on James river, called Manikin Town. The children intermarried with the Woodsons, Mortons, Yenables, Wat-kins, Flournoys, Carringtons and others. Agnes, the eleventh daughter, married Richard Woodson. Agnes Woodson (2) married Joseph Morton, a Virginia pioneer, and settled In Charlotte county.

From this pair sprang a large Presbyterian ancestry derson and had issue: Ona, who married ner cousin, Richard Henderson, of Lees-burg, Va. Mr. Cleon Moore, of Charlestown, W. lawyer. Is a descendant of Gen.

Cato Moore. (4) Mary Cooke, married John Willis, and their daughter Margaret married Hezekiah Beall. of Jefferson county and left numerous descendants. (5) Esther, daughter of Giles and Margaret (Savage) Cooke, married, first, Mr. Thomas James, of Welsh descent, at one time part owner of the Antletam Iron Works, near Sharpsbnrg, Md.

Of Mr. Thomas James the rather curious story is told that he, and not James Rumsey, was the real Inventor of the first steamboat; that in 1781 he sailed for England, carrying with him the model of his boat, to solicit patronage in London, but unfortunately be was lost at sea and never more heard from. Some years later James Rumsey, who had been associated with Mr. James, per- sequently launched the boat on the Toto-mac river, in the presence of General Washington, Governor "Tom" Johnson and other noted men of that day. It is certainly true that part of the works for this boat were made at the Antletam works.

This story is corroborated by the descendants of Thomas James and some of the old 'inhabitants of Sharpsburg, Md, Esther Savage Cooke married, second, Capt. John Ritchie, of the RevoluTTonary Army, and had issue one son, Archibald Ritchie, who married his cousin, Mary Ann Beall.

Of this second marriage there were 10 children, one of whom, Mr. William James, formerly of St. James, now of Baltimore, married Miss Lucy Dun, of Scotch ancestry, and had issue: (1) Louise, who married, first.

Colonel Rucker, United States Army, and had one son, William Rucker, of Chicago; married, second, Mr. Dun. (2) Jane Byrn, who married the late Capt.

I will state that I have positive proof of the relationship of Elizabeth Marshall Martin, being the daughter of John Marshall, of Westmoreland, and an aunt of Chief Justice John Marshall. She was my husband's father's grandmother, Marshall Martin, of Meriwether county, Georgia.

We lived with the old people, Marshall Martin, in the old homestead several years. Before his death he knew his grandmother, and I have often heard him speak of her as well as his sister, "Aunt Polly," of Montgomery, who also knew her grandmother. I also have In my possession old letters written by Elizabeth Marshall Martin, In which she speaks of her, husband, Capt. Abram Martin, having gone with his command to Join Braddock; one from Chief Justice John Marshall, In which he speaks of his Aunt Elizabeth. The letter is written to his cousin, Edmund Martin, a grandson of Elizabeth Martin, in which he alludes td his Aunt Elizabeth; one to Elizabeth front her brother, Thomas Marshall, in which he speaks of his father, John Marshall, and also of his brother William.

These letters are certified copies of the old letters found among the Martin papers. I refer you to Mrs. Sarah Elliott's "Women of the Revolution" and "The Women of the Century;" Chapman's of Edgefield. 8. I had several letters from Mr.

Paxton, and he promised mo to revise his book and correct the line of Elizabeth Marshall and Abram Martin. I gave him a full list of all the descendant! of that branch. Mabttn. Columbus, Ga. Messrs.

They had a daughter, Steptoe Black-well, who married Gabriel Freeman, of Culpeper county, Virginia (they were married In Kentucky). She wai his first wife and had no children. I have her handsome wedding slippers, which were given me by my aunt. Three years after her death Mr. Freeman married Sarah Harrison, who was a granddaughter of Capt.

VIRGINIA LETTER BOX Messrs. Editors: Your article of August 25, 1907, on the Turners of Virginia Interests me very much.

I have made some study of the subject and would like to ask some questions. Thomas Turner 2d, of King George, owned large tracts of Spottsylvania lands. In one deed (August 1, 1732.) his wife Sarah acknowledged her dower. Was this Miss Brockenbough mentioned as, his second wife? Thomas Turner 2d had, besides Major Harry Turner, who married Elizabeth Smith, a son Thomas Turner, styled "the younger" (their names often appear together in Spottsylvania deeds), who married, before 1740, Mary Taliaferro, granddaughter of Charles Taliaferro, see following Spottsylvania records "November 7, 1749. Thomas Turner, and Mary, his wife, of Spottsylvania county, and Francis Conway, and Sarah, his wife, to John Allan of Fredericksburg, merchant.

Whereas Charles Taliaferro, the elder, late of the county of Caroline, died seized and possessed of a tract of land in the place called Motts, and by his last will and testament, dated March 2, 1734, bequeathed the same to his granddaughters, Mary and Sarah Taliaferro, the said Mary Intermarried with Thomas Turner, Jr and the said Sarah Intermarried with the said Francis Conway, etc, the said parties for 120 curr. sell the 570 acres to the said Allan." Thomas Turner, of Spottsylvania, wag appointed a Justice of that county In 1742. In the will of Thomas Turner 2d he named his son-in-law, Capt. Edward Dixon, and the latter sons Harry Dixon and Thomas Dixon, grandsons Thomas Turner and Henry Turner, granddaughter Sally Turner, niece Ann Wrenn's son John and daughter Mary; directed that, no expense be spared In giving his grandsons and nephew a finished education. Major Harry, who died in 1751, before his father, mentioned In his will his father, Thomas Turner, brother Thomas Turner's son Charles, nephews Turner Dixon and Harry Dixon; named son Thomas and wife Elizabeth.

The grandson Henry of Thomas 2d's will Is probably the same as the nephew Charles xt Major Harry, Just as the grandson Thomas Dixon must be the nephew Turner Dixon In Major Harry's will; and this Henry or Charles must have been the son of Thomas Turner, of Spottsylvania. Thomas Turner 2d, in a codicil to hia will, gave his grandson Harry Turner, then under age, his Westmoreland land and the land In Prince William county containing 1,180 acres. I should very much like to know if this grandson Harry or Charles Turner was the father of a family of Turners living In Westmoreland mm- By Emilx Emeeson Lantz.

H. Messrs Editors: Emily. Emerson Lantz, In, her article on the Jacobs and other families in Maryland Heraldry for August 18 last states: "John Jacob and wife Anne had a daughter Charity, who married, January 22, 1698, Richard Duckett, of Anne Arundel county, Maryland." According to my data this John Jacob, born about 1676, was known as Captain. His wife was Anne, daughter of Richard and Mary Cheney, of West River, Anne Arundel county. Richard Cheney died prior to 1704, as proved by All Hallows' Parish Record: "October 6, 1704, was burled Richard Cheney, eon of Richard Cheney, before deceased." Elizabeth (died February, 1752), daughter of Captain John and Anne (Cheney) Jacob, married, October 21, 1701, Mareen Duvall, the younger, second son of Mareen Duvall, Huguenot, who bore the paternal name.

A second daughter of this union, Mary Duvall, born March 22, 1717, married Joshua Clarke, first lieutenant, Middle Battalion, Prince George's County (Maryland) Militia, 1778. He died April 6, 1781, and his will, probated June 28, 1781, mentions his wife Slary and children Joshua, Caleb, William Thomas, Frederick, Eliza Higgins, Mary, Anne Sappington and. In a codicil, son Richard and brother Gabriel, from whom he had purchased Clarke's Fancy. The above-mentioned Caleb Clarke, born 1746, married a Miss Smith, and their only daughter, Mary Clarke married Thomas Magruder and died at the age of 85, 13 1864. Will Miss Lantz or anyone who knows kindly inform me why.

It is worthy of consideration when the home is to be built to see that it Is of such style and type as will be suited to Its locality and surroundings. It is not always true' that a city house will not look well In the country or that the country house would necessarily be out of place on a city lot. There are houses that seem to adapt themselves equally well to rural -or city surroundings. There la, however, something in the looks of a low house with spreading roof that seems specially adapted to the country.

Dr. Richard Hall may have had a son William, but he is not mentioned in his will, the line running, as nearly as I can learn, as follows: Richard Hall, of London, born 1573, died 1645, Norfolk county, Virginia.

His children were: (1) Richard, born 16J1, died 1666, married Ann Bennett 1635; patented land Deep Creek, Norfolk county, Va. (2) Thomas, executed by Governor Berkly 1676. (3) Henry, died 1709. (4) John. (5) William (7), Prince George county, Virginia, died 1624 (7).

Benjamin had sons John and Charles Blackwell and daughters Eliza (married Pemberton) and Luclnda (married Tap- scott) James married and lived in Alexandria; Charles had a son Charles and a grandson Charles Plater Turner. November 10, 1683, Charles Turner was a member of the House of Burgesses from New Kent. There are many records of Turners in the St. Peters register, New Kent, which formerly included what now King William, King and Queen, Hanover, Caroline, etc. I imagine that William, George, Henry and Charles of those records were cniidren of the emigrant, Dr.

Turner, and elder brothers of Thomas Turner 2d, for your letter says that Dr. Tur ner "married and came to Virginia about 1650." If Thomas 2d was born in the early part of his father's married life, he would have married first 1711 when he was at least 50, which is unlikely If he married three times, as your correspond ent says, and he surely was not nearly 100 when he died 1758 for some at least of his grandchildren were under age and be was still active In public Bervice. He was probably about 70 years old at his death. If he was born late in the married life of his parents, it Is more than likely that he had older brothers and sisters. have even been tempted to believe that a genera tion Bhould come between the emigrant.

Dr. Turner, arriving In 1650 or 1660, and Thomas Turner 2d, who was married first in 1711 and died In 1758. I trust that some one may be able to throw some light on these points. E. T.
