1740- My fourth great granduncle, William Drury, has been born to John Drury & Susannah Hayden in St. Mary's County, Maryland.

My fourth great granduncle, Joseph Newton, is born to Clement & Elizabeth Newton in St. Mary's County, Maryland.

My fourth great granduncle, Arnold Livers, son of Arnold & Helen, is assigned to St. Francis Xavier in Newtown, St. Mary's County, where he received his final vows in 1742. Arnold was a Jesuit Priest.



My fifth great grandaunt, Elizabeth Robey, dies at the age of 50, in Charles County, Maryland. The daughter of John Robey & Sarah Hines Luckett, she was the wife of John Henley. Her husband apparently died the same year.

William Robey and Mary Alexander are married in Charles County, Maryland.

William Luckett and Charity Middleton, the daughter of Captain John Middleton & Mary Wheeler, are married in Prince George's County, Maryland. They settled in what would become the new county of Frederick on the western slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Charity and her husband were given by her parents, "for natural love and affection", the tracts "Thomas and Mary" and "Wilson's Enlargement", containing 195 acres in Prince Georges County.
In about 1725, as an orphan, William Luckett had been placed under the care of James Middleton, uncle of Charity Middleton, by court orders to learn a profitable trade or profession. It was the custom of that day in Maryland to apprentice children whose paternal parent was deceased and whose estate was either insolvent or negligible with planters or merchants in order that the orphans may not become public charges.
In 1728, James Middleton was summoned by the court and censured for "neglecting to teach William Luckett to read and write". William, however, later became quite proficient in letters, because many documents written by him and signed are still preserved at the court house of Frederick County.

April 1730, Maryland

Wollaston Manor

 April 16, 1730- James Neale, son of James Neale & Elizabeth Lord, dies at the age of 41 at "Wollaston Manor", in Charles County, Maryland.

James Neale, a Catholic, lived at "Wollaston Manor", on 1000 acres located near the confluence of St. James Creek and St. Raphael Creek in Charles County. He had inherited this part of the manor from his father, Captain James Neale.
Wollaston Manor was made up of 2,000 acres patented in 1642 to Captain James Neale and was named for his Grandfather's home in Northamptonshire, England. Neale's wife, Anne Gill, was Lady-in-waiting to the wife of Charles I, Queen Henrietta Maria.

The following  description is taken from THE DAVID RANKIN BARBEE PAPERS:
"If one had the privilege of choosing the spot where he wished to be born, he could find none more attractive than Wolleston Manor. Long ago the old manor house was destroyed by fire, and not a vestige of it remains to tell its story.
The site where once it reared its lofty walls still exists -a small plain fronting the majestic Potomac for a mile or more, and presenting a vista of such rare natural beauty and splendor as to have no compeer on either side of that noble stream. Standing on the spot where the manor was erected in the early days of the Seventeenth Century, to the left, as one looks out on the river, lies a grove of primeval oaks..."
 

The Potomac River, Charles County, Maryland

Young James married first Elizabeth Hagan Clarkson, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Hagan, and the widow of William Clarkson, with five small children. Their daughter, Elizabeth Neale, was still a minor when her father died, and was bequeathed her mother's inherited Hagan land.
He married secondly Jane Boarman, the daughter of William Boarman and Mary Pile. The manor was left to the daughters of this union.
