William STONE was granted 1800 acres on 4 June 1635 in Accomac at Blunt Point for transporting himself, his brother, and 34 servants. By the year 1640, he had patented 5250 acres of land.

On 31 July 1647, Thomas STONE, haberdasher, of London, England, made his nephew, Captain William STONE of Maryland "my true and lawful attorney to collect a debt from Thomas Weston, formerly of London." (Maryland State Archives, vol. 4, page 377)

William STONE was appointed by Lord Baltimore (Leonard CALVERT) to be Governor of Maryland, on 6 August 1648, where he served (1649 - 1654) as the colony’s third proprietary governor and first Protestant governor. It was during his administration that the Maryland Act of Toleration (21 April 1649) was passed. Between 1652 and 1656, William Stone's commission as governor, received from the colonial proprietor, was contested by the Parliamentary Commissioners. Deprived of office briefly in 1652 by Lord Baltimore's Puritan opponents, William STONE was restored to his office and continued until 1654 when he was replaced by a board of ten commissioners who governed Maryland in the name of Parliament. In 1655, he led Cavalier forces against the Puritans at the Battle of Severn (25 March 1655) which was the first battle fought between Americans on American soil. At this battle, William STONE was wounded, defeated, and captured. Although he was sentenced by the Puritan court to be shot, he was saved by the intercession of the people. [About the Battle of Severn, also see Note 19 under G0498A: Robert CLARKE the SURVEYOR in Descendants of Robert Clarke the Surveyor (1611 - AFT 14 July 1664 and BEF 21 July 1664).] With the restoration of Lord Baltimore's authority in 1658, William STONE was named a member of the Council and served as Justice of the Provincial Court. He patented 4000 acres of land in Charles County, Maryland called "Poynton Manor." He died in 1660. In his will, dated 4 January 1659, he left 900 acres at Bustards Island in the Patuxent River and the half of his sloop in his son, Thomas’s keeping, along with one mare and her colt to his daughter, Elizabeth. He also left her the tobacco due him from Armstrong Foster. Elizabeth also received six cows with their calves and 600 acres in Nangemy lying between his "dwelling house" and Cheshires. Her brothers were to take care of her as long as she remained unmarried. To his wife, Verlinda, he gave his house and lands at Saint Maryes with all the cattle as well as his horse, Jack, and one-fourth of all his other estate except the lands. To his son, Richard, he left cattle and 500 acres of his manor Nangemy. He also provided for the care and education of his other children, John, Matthew, Mary, and Katherine. John and Matthew were to get 500 acres each of the estate at Nangemy. The rest of the estate went to his son, Thomas. The will of Verlinda (GRAVES) STONE, proved in 1675, named the two daughters, Mary and Katherine.

By his marriage to Elizabeth SPRIGG, William STONE engendered Thomas STONE (ABT 1628, <Baltimore County>, Maryland, British North America - AFT 12 June 1733, <Charles County>, Maryland, British North America). By his marriage to Verlinda GRAVES, he engendered Richard, John, Mary, Catherine, and Elizabeth STONE. Elizabeth STONE was married, in 1661/62, to William CALVERT [pronounced "call-vert"] (ABT 1642, England - 10 January 1681/82, in the Wicomico River [by drowning], Charles County, Maryland, British North America). William CALVERT was the son of Leonard CALVERT, the first Lord Baltimore.

2. Sir William ^^sender Berkeley, Kt.: About Sir William Berkeley, the following is taken from Spartacus Educational:

William Berkeley was born in Somerset, England in 1606. Soon after graduating from Oxford University in 1624, he was employed in the colonial office. Knighted by Charles I in 1639, Berkeley was appointed as governor of Virginia. During the English Civil War he declared his support for the king. When Oliver Cromwell achieved power Berkeley was forced into retirement and until 1660 concentrated on developing his plantations in Virginia. Berkeley started a second term as governor of Virginia after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. Berkeley led the military against the colony's remaining Native Americans. He also organised the defence that prevented a Dutch landing on the Virginia coast in 1673. Berkeley appointed Nathaniel BACON to his governing council but the two men soon fell out about the development of the colony. Berkeley favoured a policy of containment, whereas Bacon wanted to expand into areas controlled by Native Americans. In 1676 BACON organized his own expedition. Fearing a large-scale war with Native Americans, Berkeley turned his forces against BACON and his men. BACON captured Jamestown and Berkeley was forced to flee to the Eastern Shore. However, when Nathaniel BACON died of fever in October, 1676, the rebellion quickly collapsed. Berkeley took revenge by hanging all the leading figures. One settler commented that he believed "the Governor would have hanged half the country, if they had let him alone". This upset Charles II who had pardoned the men and Berkeley was recalled to England. William Berkeley died in Twickenham on 9th July, 1677.

3. John HOLLOWAY: John HOLLOWAY (BEF 1611, England - August 1643, Northampton County, Virginia, British North America) was married to Elizabeth BACON about 1631. Shortly after his death, Elizabeth BACON was married to John Nuthall IV [of Cross Manor] who, because of marriage, became the custodian of John HOLLOWAY's estate:

4. desindants: descendants. In this context, the word means "slopes."

5. Capt. William STONE and William JONES: This proves that Gov. William STONE and Capt. William JONES were neighbours and shows that William JONES must have had personal knowledge that John Nuthall IV [of Cross Manor] had been indentured to Hugh HAYES whose transport Gov. William STONE had sponsored. About John Nuthall IV [of Cross Manor], Hugh HAYES, Capt. William JONES, and Gov. William STONE, see various notes in Antecedents and Descendants of John Nuthall of Cross Manor (BEF 10 February 1614/15 and BEF July 1667), especially note 1 under G0500A: John NUTHALL IV of [CROSS MANOR]. Also see Captain John Smith: Map of Virginia, 1612. Furthermore, on 25 August 1643, John HOLLOWAY, the first huband of Elizabeth BACON, the first wife of John NUTHALL IV [of Cross Manor], named Capt. William JONES among the overseers of his estate to assist his widow in execution of his Will. Capt. William JONES, therefore, was required to deal with John NUTHALL IV [of Cross Manor] when, in January 1643/44, Elizabeth BACON remarried. [See the Will of John HOLLOWAY in Note 13 under G0500A: John NUTHALL IV [of CROSS MANOR] in Antecedents and Descendants of John Nuthall of Cross Manor (BEF 10 February 1614/15 - July 1667).]

6. invironed: environed. An early use, in English, of environ as a verb is to be found, in 1382, in John Wycliffe's translation of Ecclesiasticus 51.5: "Manye tribulaciouns that enuyrouneden me."

7. William COTTON Clerke deseased: William COTTON Clerke, deceased. This proves that Rev. William COTTON was dead by 7 October 1642 and that, by that date, Ann GRAVES was already married to Nathaniel EATON. Clerke, of course, means cleric.

St. Stephens Church, Coleman St., London

Excerpts from The New Haven Colony by Isabell MacBeath Calder (New Haven, Yale University Press: 1934):

The Reverend Francis DOUGHTY lived in several counties in Virginia - Accomack, Rappahannock and Richmond. Francis DOUGHTY was the son of an elder Francis DOUGHTIE, merchant of Bristol, who retired from business and lived as a country gentleman at Oldbury, some 15 miles from Bristol. When the father died in 1634, the younger Francis was pastor of Old Sodbury, a few miles from Oldbury, and had a wife, Bridgett, and 3 children - Francis, Elias and Mary.

Drawn into the fast growing Puritan movement, the vicar, in 1636, came under the notice of the Anglican Church authorities and seems to have lost his pulpit in consequence. Soon afterward, in 1638, he went to New England where Puritanism was the force to be reckoned with. For a time he lived at Dorchester, near Boston, where his boat from England had landed. In 1639, another child, Enoch, was added to the family.

In 1639 or 1640 the ex-vicar became pastor of the newly settled town of Taunton but his tenure was short. He fell into controversy with the extremists of his congregation over the matter of baptism, on which subject he held more liberal views than did the leaders of the New England brand of Puritan thought. As a result, he was deposed from his pastorate in 1641.

From Taunton, the DOUGHTY family went to Rhode Island for a time and here the minister took part in organizing a new colonizing project, the purpose of which was to establish an English-speaking settlement on western Long Island, in the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. In the spring of 1642, the group obtained a land grant for Mespat in the modern Borough of Brooklyn. Here a new town was started and Rev. DOUGHTY became the local pastor. Hardly was the settlement well under way when, in 1643, an Indian uprising drove the settlers away, and the DOUGHTY family fled to Manhattan for safety.

At the Dutch capital, the minister found new friends, for there were many English residents among the Dutch. With the consent of the Dutch ministers, these English organized a separate congregation, making Francis their pastor.

In the Dutch colony of New Netherlands, the only church organization recognized was that of the Reformed church of the Netherlands. This English congregation was a unit of that body and met in the Dutch church building; and its pastor drew his support from collections taken in his own and in the Dutch congregations. The stay of the DOUGHTY household in Manhattan lasted from 1643 to 1646, with the English church's being organized around 1644.

In October 1645, Mary DOUGHTY was married to Adrian VANDERDONCK, a rising lawyer and politician of the colonial city. VANDERDONCK was interested in colonization and, in the spring of 1646, he started a new settlement at what is now Yonkers, taking his bride into the wilderness. In the same year, the Rev. DOUGHTY went back to Mespat and took up again the work of establishing a settlement. He was so successful in this that his former partners, in 1647, sued him in the colonial court for a share in the property. The question seems to have been as to whether or not the partners' rights had lapsed by their abandonment of the effort in 1643. The court decided that their rights were still good and, when DOUGHTY threatened to appeal his case to the Dutch authorities in Europe, the colonial court fined him and issued a jail sentence of 24 hours as a warning against such action. Their persuasion seems to have been successful.

A few miles from Mespat, the new English speaking settlement of Flushing was organized in the spring of 1647, with DOUGHTY's being chosen pastor of the new town. According to one authority, his pastorate began this same year. It lasted until 1654, when he sued his congregation for arrears of salary which had been provided for by contract and not been paid to him. In connection with his pastorate at Flushing, there has evolved the modern myth to the effect that DOUGHTY was an early minister of the present-day Presbyterian Church.

In England, he had been an Anglican pastor, and in New England, he had, of necessity, been a Congregationalist. In New Netherlands he was minister of the Reformed Church of the Netherlands, a Presbyterian form of organization. In 1657, an ecclesiastical report on the condition of the colonial church was sent from Manhattan to Amsterdam, and the writers mentioned DOUGHTY and another minister as having English-speaking congregations. Seeking words to explain that these ministers had affiliated with the established Reformed church, instead of clinging to the congregational policy of New England, the authors of the report stated that the pastors were Presbyterian. The modern misunderstanding of this statement seems to have started with O'Callaghan, the historian of New Netherlands.

The year of 1655 brought great change to the lives of the DOUGHTYs. Mary DOUGHTY, now VANDERDONCK, became a widow in about June of that year and, in September, the Indians drove the settlers off the VANDERDONCK plantation at Yonkers.

About this time, Reverend DOUGHTY sailed for Virginia, and theory has it that daughter Mary joined him after losing her property. They may have sailed together, but were both out of the Dutch colony by August 1656. Whether or not the wife of Rev. Doughty was still alive at this time is not known. The older boys, Francis and Elias, were now farmers on Long Island, where they remained and became prominent citizens in after years. Enoch, the youngest child, went with his father to Virginia. Francis is next heard of as pastor of Hungars parish on the Eastern Shore of Accomack County, Virginia. The Virginian church had been strictly Anglican up to 1652, when the colony submitted to parlimental authority. After that date the several parishes were left to go their own ways without interference by legislative acts of reform. DOUGHTY came here, probably, to a modified Anglicanism, having no surplice or Book of Common Prayer, but otherwise very much what it had been prior to 1652.

Of his pastorate at Hungars, very little is recorded. It is mentioned that in 1655, he instigated a witchcraft prosecution, and in 1656 was favorably mentioned in the will of a parishioner. In June of 1657, he was married again, to Ann GRAVES, who had the distinction of marrying three successive rectors of Hungars parish.

Ann and her sister, Verlinda, were the daughters of Capt. Thomas GRAVES, one of the original adventurers of the Jamestown Colony, and both had been born in Accomack county, Virginia. Verlinda was married to the Governor of Maryland and this fact gives rise to the misconception that the maiden name of Bridgett DOUGHTY, the first wife of Francis, was STONE. Gov. STONE was known to refer to Francis as his brother-in-law and someone seeing this thought it must mean that Bridgett and the Governor were brother and sister, making her Bridgett STONE. In reality, the wives of Francis and the Governor were the sisters, Ann and Verlinda.

Ann GRAVES married, before July 10, 1637, the Rev. William COTTON who, on that date patented land in right of his wife Ann GRAVES. Rev. COTTON, whose mother resided at Bunbury, Cheshire, England was the first minister of Hungars parish, the first formally organized church on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. He left a will in August 1640, naming "Brethrin-n law Capt. William STONE" and another as overseers of his estate.

Ann then married, by 1642, the Rev. Nathaniel EATON, who came to Virginia from Massachusetts where, in 1638, he had become the first master of the school that later became Harvard University. He had been born England in 1609 and came to Massachusetts in 1638. His father had been a clergyman in England and his brother was the respected first Governor of the New Haven Colony. Governor Winthrop of New York mentions in his journal that EATON, after he went to Virginia, was a "drunken preacher". In 1642, he assigned land at Hungars Creek due him by right of intermarriage with the ""widdowe and relict of William Cotton, Clerke." By 1646, EATON had left the colony, deserting his wife, and returned to England, where he lived privately until the restoration of King Charles II.

Conforming to the ceremonies of the Church of England, EATON was fixed at Biddlefield, where he became a bitter persecutor of the Dissenters, and died in prison for debt.

In June of 1657 Ann married the Reverend DOUGHTY, rector of Hungars, but moved with him to Charles County, Maryland by 1660. The earliest reference to the presence of Rev. DOUGHTY in Charles County is found in a bill of debt, a paper that in those days performed the function of the modern promissory note. The bill shows that in June 1660, the minister promised to pay George Short a certain amount of tobacco either at Pickawaxen in Charles County or at Potomac, on the Virginia side. About January or February of 1661, a Captain William Battin, who kept a store at Pickawaxen, summoned Mr. DOUGHTY to county court; but the matter was adjusted and the case never came to trial.

Meanwhile, Francis had organized a church and was officiating as pastor. The earliest evidence of this is the suit of Joan Mitchell, filed in the summer of 1661, which called for trial in the court session of September. Earlier references show that Joan Mitchell had for some time been under popular suspicion of witchcraft, an allegation she stoutly denied. At this particular time, the imputation had again been raised and, in self-defense, she brought suit against four persons, alleging slander. Her petition in the case shows that she felt that Mr. DOUGHTY was shielding her enemies:

The suit of Joan Mitchell against the minister went no further than the complaint. The trial was postponed to the November court and at that session the case was formally dismissed because neither party appeared.

Another case that came before the September, 1661 court had some reference to the ministerial work of Mr. DOUGHTY. Eleanor Empson, widow of William Empson, was about to be married to John Morris. The pastor was to have performed the marriage ceremony but he received a note forbidding the banns. Mrs. Empson brought suit against the supposed author of the note, alleging defamation, and called Enoch DOUGHTY as her witness. Says the court record:

The supposed author of the note came into court and stated that, being a blind man, he had to trust in the fairness of others in the writing of his messages and that he disclaimed any interest in the widow's matrimonial affairs.

There is nothing in the court records to indicate clearly the denominational character of Mr. DOUGHTY's church. When the minister came from Virginia to Maryland, the English commonwealth was still under under Cromwell’s rule, and Anglican worship was illegal.

On May 5, 1660, the commonwealth ended with the reinstatment of the monarchy and with parliament's order that henceforth all writs should be issued in the name of King Charles. With that act, the followers of the old worship services were free to return to some form of Anglicanism. Such was the situation when the Charles County church was formed and, in all probability, the church was modeled after the modified Anglicanism of Virginia. It is at least certain that it adopted the vestry form of government so familiar in the Anglican system. But, by April 22nd, church papers show that DOUGHTY had left the parish.

Mary DOUGHTY VANDERDONCK remained in Maryland after the departure of her father. She apparently had come to Virginia, either with or soon after her father, and found a home in Charles County. Here, she acquired repute as a healer of the sick for which service she demanded good fees; and sometimes, when her patients were reluctant to pay their bills, she took them to county court for due settlement of her claims. Beginning on April 22, 1662, the court records accord her the new name of Mrs. O'NEAL after her recent marriage to Hugh O'NEAL, planter and active man of the county.

To Enoch DOUGHTY now fell the task of guarding his father's interests in Maryland and, from the absent minister, came a letter of attorney, prolix with legal verbiage, bearing the date of June 4, 1662, and beginning thus:

It may be noted that one of the three subscribing witnesses of this document was John Washington, one of the original Washington emigrants from England and the ancestor of George Washington.

Francis then removed himself to the parishes of Sittingbourn and Farnham that lay on each side of the Rappahannock River at the lower end of Old Rappahannock County. In 1665, the Reverend DOUGHTY is listed in church papers as the minister of both parishes. The following item is found recorded in the Old Rappahannock county court papers:

The Reverend DOUGHTY was popular with a large part of his congregation but stirred others to high indignation. He must have been a vital person for, in the five years that he was there, he organized and revived the church work. In Sittingbourn Parish, he planned, bought land for, and erected churches, one near Cabin Point and one at the mouth of Occupacia Creek. He also built a church at Piscataway and a church on the north side.

At Farnham Parish, to which he gave half his time, he organized the vestry. Although popular with the people, Francis was repeatedly unseated, either because of the control of the church by the state or because of the vagaries of his own personality. He was accused of implacably censuring his parishioners' conduct, and of refusing to administer the sacrament of communion on Easter Sunday. For this, he was tried, his accusers being not only vestrymen but also justices of the court. This charge made it very difficult for things to happen other than for Francis to be convicted. This trial aroused much interest and grew largely out of the quarrel over whether he should be paid in sterling or in tobacco. It preceded by more than a hundred years the famous "Parson's case," which has been immortalized by the fiery eloquence of Patrick Henry. At the outcome of the trial, Francis was "put out" as minister of the parish, and after making provision for his wife and son Enoch to continue their residence in Virginia, he departed. His destination, as indeed, any further knowledge of his life, is unknown.

LIEUT. COL. WALTER CHILES.

BY THE EDITOR.

He was perhaps the "Walter Chiles, merchant," who was granted 1st of March, 1638, 400 acres in Charles City county (in that portion known afterwards as Prince George), near the falls of the Appomattox River, "50 acres being due to him for his own personal adventure; 50 acres for his wife, Elizabeth; 50 acres for his son William, and 50 acres for his son Walter, and 200 acres for the transportation" to the colony of four other persons. A second grant was made to him of 250 acres, due "for his own personal adventure" and the transportation of four persons, 2d May, 1638.(1)

Walter Chiles, the merchant, was perhaps the burgess from Charles City in 1642-43, and at the session he was appointed with Walter Austin, Rice Hooe, and Joseph Johnson and "such others as they shall think fit to joyn them" to undertake the discovery of "a new river or unknowne land, bearing west southerly from Appomattocke River." (2)

In November, 1645, Walter Chiles represented James City county in the House of Burgesses. (3) He was a representative

again in 1645 - 46, and in 1649. (1) In the Northampton records 15th June, 1652, it is stated that Walter Chiles sailed from Rotterdam in his own ship, "The Fame of Virginia." After being for a time in Accomac waters the ship sailed for James City, and was pursued and captured by Capt. Robert Henfield, who held a commission from the "Protectors of the Liberties of England;" three hours after which in Hungar's Road, Eastern shore, the ship "Hopeful Adventure," Capt. Richard Husband, came up and made seizure under pretext that Chiles had no license. The Court of Northampton ordered a release. Thereupon, Richard Husband and his prize sailed away, to the great indignation of the commissioners thereof. It being rumored that the County would be called upon by the commissioners to pay a large sum of money to Walter Chiles, some of the inhabitants met in Dr. Hacke's "old field," where Stephen Horsey called the commissioners a company of "asses and villyans."

At the Assembly which convened July 5,1652, Gov. Bennet sent a note to the House of Burgesses in which, after protesting that he did not intend 'to intrench upon the right of Assemblies in the free choice of a Speaker, nor to undervalue Lefft. Col. Chiles," advised(2) "that it was not so proper nor so convenient at this time to make choice of him, for that there is something to be agitated in this Assembly concerning a shipp lately arrived, in which Lefft. Coll. Chiles hath some interest.

The Burgesses, however, did not seem inclined to take the advice of their Governor, for the record states that "Left. Col. Walter Chiles" was chosen, next day, by a plurality of votes, Speaker of the Assembly, It is, however, to the honor of Col. Chiles, that he at once declined the election, having represented(3) "to the house his extraordinarie occasions in regarding to the dispatch of some shipping now in the country in which he is

much interested." At the same session, Chiles was allowed to have the ship "Leopoldus" for L400 sterling, said ship having been confiscated for violation of the navigation laws.

On July 26, 1653, the Court of Northampton, according to an order of the late Assembly, (determined upon despite a petition of part of the inhabitants of the county, representing that the rumors of their disloyalty to parliament was false, and their complaint was against the taxes laid, on account of Capt. Chiles' ship) declared "all the subscribers of that writing called a protest incapable of holding office."

In 1671, under date of April 4th, Walter Chiles appeared in behalf of his sons, John and Henry, relative to 1,500 acres of land in Westmoreland county. According to the notes of Dr. E. D. Neill, Walter Chiles was the son-in-law of Col. John Page(1) and probably, had married his daughter Mary.(2) The Ludwell MSS (in Va. Historical Society) show that he was dead before May 15, 1672, when his widow, Susannah, received a grant for 200 acres in James City County, in Passbehayes for 99 years on account of buildings and improvements on the Main there, according to an order of the General Court of June 7, 1638, for strengthening the Main on this side Powhatan Swamp by leasing it out in parcels. In Sept., 1693, the same year, John Chiles was appointed messenger to the Council (Council Journal MS).

On June the 25th, 1683, judgment was entered in York Court in favor of "Mr. Henry Tyler as marrying Elizabeth Chiles against Maj. Otho Thorpe for the payment of twenty-one pounds sterling with costs of suit als execucon."

Col. Page in his will dated March 5, 1686-87, and recorded February 24, 1691-92, speaks(3) of his grandson. John

Chiles, and his "grandsonne John Tyler." sonne of my grand-daughter, Elizabeth Tyler" At a county court held for York County, June 24, 1707, John Tyler, who describes himself "as son of Mr. Henry Tyler of York County and grandson of Col. John Page, formerly of ye sd county dec'd," came into court and acknowledged a receipt(1) from John Page, of ye county of Gloucester, of L50 sterling "for a legacie left me (the said Henry Tyler) by the last will and testament of ye said Coll. John Page, dec'd." Under the will of Col. Page, John Tyler(2) received land in the forks of the swamp Powhatan, in James City county where, until a few years ago, there stood a modest brick building, which was built by him.

Col. John Page left a ring of twenty shillings to his "grandson, John Chiles." In St. Peters Parish Register, New Kent county, are the entries of the baptism between 1699 and 1706 of Henry, Walter and James, children of Henry Chiles, Gent. Hanover county was taken from New Kent in ______; and 6 Sept. 1735, Henry Chiles sold lands on Southern Branch, Hanover county. Louisa county was taken from Hanover and in 1772 James Chiles and Elizabeth, his wife, were living there. By his will proved 10 Oct., 1774, John Chiles left his estate to his nieces Olive Edwards, daughter of Joseph Martin and Susannah his wife and to Mary, daughter of John Wright and Jane, his wife.

Sprigg, Thomas / Kettering U-10/ 8 September 1685 / L 22 f 179

"In Prince George's County, some six or seven miles inland from the grant steel highway, along which travelers between Annapolis and Washington are borne swiftly to their destination, there stands an old Manor House, encircled by a plantation of 800 acres. "Northhampton" was built by Thomas Sprigg, Colonist and Gentleman, from England, whose death occurred in 1704. A full length portrait of that worthy gentleman, still in the possession of descendants represents a handsome man in full court costume, while the archives of Maryland give abundant proof that the original was a gentleman of official distinction and social importance. The manor house is a frame, about 125 feet front, and such portion as is of the original architecture, is put together without nails. The drawing room, library and dining rooms, all with high chimney places and wide open fireplaces, face the front and in the rear according to the fashion of 200 hundred years ago, are bedrooms with tall gothic windows, and other rooms now used as pantries. The place is well wooded and about the residence are elm and willow trees, also flowering magnolia trees, white fringe trees, trailing their delicate blossoms. There is a real lover's walk, winding between a hedge of old fashioned lilacs, that being in clusters of purple and white send their fragrance through the early spring sunshine. Here was spent the youth of Governor Samuel Sprigg, who became the heir of his uncle Osborne Sprigg and from him inherited "Northhampton". Here was brought in 1811 the Governor's bride and here was born in 1811 the Governor's little daughter, Sally whose baby helplessness was the safeguard of "Northhampton from destruction by the British, when the latter's troops advanced along the Patuxcent River to attack Washington. Governor Sprigg was in hiding at the time and the house was examined but owing to the young baby and its mother, the homestead escaped injury, or pillage beyond the seizure of wines and provisions."

The above is a true Apppraisement of as much of the Deceds Estate as come to our sight /s/ Richard Isaac, /s/ Benja. Jacob
