October 16, 1714- William Elder, the first husband of Elizabeth Finch, has died.
William Elder was a Quaker immigrant from Lancashire, England.
William and Elizabeth had married in 1705. They lived on a 50-acre tract of land called "Beale's Goodwill" which Elizabeth had inherited from her family. This land was originally within the boundaries of Calvert county, and is today a little east of the Oxen Hill/Clinton area near Rosaryville State Park. "Beale's Goodwill" contained 100 acres, and Elizabeth's sister, Mary (Finch) Beavan, wife of Charles Beavan, resided on the other 50 acres. Goodwill was located north of and adjoined the home plantation of Arnold Livers, known as Timberly.
William Elder's estate was listed in the Maryland Prerogative Court [Inv. & Acct. 36A folio 198; 36C folio 42].The appraisers were listed as Thomas Blanford, and Soloman Stimson. These documents were also signed by: Charles Beavan "Kindred"; Henry Darnalb "Creditor"; and Henry Culver "Kindred."
The accounting of Elizabeth Elder [36C folio 42] shows: "Eliz.a Elder adminx of all & singular goods & chattels & credits of Wm Elder late of Prince Georges county dec'd."
The accounting included money from: Edward Diggs, Capt. Thomas Clegat and Paul Hoye: credits to: Henry Darnell, Luke Gardiner, Capt. Thomas Clegat, Henry Culver, Jn. Boye, Thomas Williams, John Miller, Benjamin Berry and Jacob Jones.
Elizabeth would go on to take Solomon Stimson as her second husband.
(Elizabeth Finch & Solomon Stimson are my sixth great grandparents.)

(Sarah Newton and I are 1st cousins 6 times removed.)
June 11, 1751- Arnold Livers dies at Prince George's, Maryland.
Arnold Livers was born about 1669 in Flanders, Belgium, of English parentage, and was reared in the royal household of the Stuarts. At age 22, he was a "page of the backstairs".
Soon after the Catholic King James II was deposed in 1688, Arnold is said to have fled, landing in Maryland with only his uniform, buckles & buttons (which are still preserved by his family), leaving his two children by his first wife behind.
These sons were reportedly brought to America by his first American wife who went to Flanders to get them as Arnold was afraid to go himself.
Arnold served as an indentured servant to Colonel Henry Darnall, a tailor. He settled on the Charles River near Upper Marlborough in Prince George's County as a planter.
He died in 1751 at Prince George's County, Maryland.
(Arnold Livers is my 5th great grandfather.)

1754 Maryland
1754- John Worland II has died in Charles County, Maryland.
(John II Worland Jr. is my 5th great grandfather.)
April 1, 1754- Possible birth date of Eleanor Worland, daughter of John Worland III and his first wife. It has been my supposition that this first wife, whose name is lost to us, possibly died during this birth. However, Eleanor may have been born as early as 1752, as the Maryland census of 1776 lists her age as 24.
(Eleanor Worland is my 3rd great grand aunt, her father John Worland III is my 4th great grandfather.)
From the following document, we do know that John had wed his second wife, Rebecca, by November, 1754.
Nov 13, 1754- from John Warland of Charles County, planter, to the Reverend Samuel Clagett of Charles County. John Warland, late of Charles County, deceased, and father to John Warland, party to these presents, was seized of a tract of land in William & Mary Parish in Charles County called New Alford, containing about 86 acres, by patent, which said tract the said John Warland the younger has sufficient reason to believe was sold by his father to George Thomas, sometime since of Charles County, now dead, and for which said George Thomas paid a valuable consideration whereby he possessed said tract many years, and by his will, devised the tract to his grandson, Benjamin Compton of Charles County, who has since sold conveyed the premises to the aforementioned Claget, and for which he has received 10,000 lbs of tobacco. Now as the deed from John Warland the Elder to George Thomas aforementioned, though neglect or misconduct, cannot readily be found upon record. Said John Warland the younger being satisfied of the justness of this matter, and for 1000 lbs of tobacco to him paid by said Clagett, Warland sells Clagett the tract of land called New Alford.
Signed - John Warland.
Witnesses- Robert Yates, Charles Blanford,
Rebecca, wife of said John Warland, relinquished her right of dower to the lands within mentioned, Recorded Nov 13, 1754.

1754- Samuel Archibald Pike is born to John Pike and Kezia Hackett in St. Mary's, Maryland.
(Samuel Archibald Pike is my 4th great grand uncle.)
1754- Mary Newton is born to Elizabeth and Clement Newton in St. Mary's, Maryland.
(Mary Newton is my 4th great grand aunt. Our common ancestors are Clement Newton and Elizabeth.)
