ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteIn your blog of Jan 29, 2010, you said that Elizabeth Finch died in 1729 and that her third husband, Peter Hoggins, died in 1730. I believe that Steve Gilland ("Early Families of Frederick County") has made the same assertion. Do you know of any evidence to support those assertions? It seems to me that Peter died in 1774/5 and that Elizabeth was alive as of 31 Aug 1776... Peter Hoggins' will (28 June 1775) in the "Maryland Calendar of Wills 1774-1777" Vol 16, 1995) names his wife, Elizabeth Hoggins. And the 1776 Colonial Census for Prince George's County lists the household of a Peter Hoggins who appears to be the son of Peter Hoggins and Elizabeth (Finch) Hoggins. And the listed household includes "Elizabeth Hoggins age 84" (born about 1692) who appears to be the mother of this Peter Hoggins. Please advise. Louis Lehmann louislehmann24@gmail.com
