      Dear Tom.

      This Will is of John Greenwell son of James Greenwell and Grace Taylor. This John Greenwell married Catherine Wiseman daughter of John Wiseman and Catherine Miles daughter of Francis Miles. John Greenwell was a brother to Charles Greenwell who married Mary_____, and Grace Greenwell who married Thomas Clarke son of Robert Clarke Sr. And Sarah Combs.

      His brother Henry Greenwell married Eleanor Clarke daughter of Robert Clarke Sr. And Sarah Combs. His brother James Greenwell Married Sarah Clarke daughter of Robert Clarke Sr. and Sarah Combs.

      Grace Greenwell and 1st husband Thomas Clarke had a son John Clarke born abt 1724/25 who married Eleanor Gough daughter of James Gough and Priscilla Heard. Eleanor Gough (Clarke) married 2nd to John Basil Greenwell son of John Greenwell and Catherine Wiseman. John Basil Greenwell and John Clarke were 1st cousins. Eleanor Gough (Clarke) (Greenwell) married third to James Wheatly.

      Tom you may want to correct this in your records when you state that Henry Greenwell married Eleanor Gough. I'm afraid that is not possible. I have the Church records as well as the inventory of Eleanor Gough's husband's.

      Mike,

      There's nothing in William Chandler's will extract that indicates he or James Gauff Jr ever lived in Virginia. Here's the extract per Al Goff:

      *1725.* Charles Co MD - will of *Wm Chandler *"to poor Roman Catholics". Test. Jesse Dayne, John Hington, J*ames Gauff* Jr.

      This is probably taken from the abstract that I'm attaching. I believe this indicates that William Chandler was deceased by 1730. Witness Jesse Dayne is given as Jesse Doyne in the published transcript. A quick Internet search shows him in St. Mary's Co., MD and Charles Co., MD at different times:

      http://files.usgwarchives.net/md/stmarys/wills/doyne.txt

      http://books.google.com/books?id=jS7v4WpHnykC&pg=PA98&lpg=PA98&dq=%22j esse+doyne%22&source=bl&ots=QHL6lw2Cy-&sig=IBKyZlYyHMAAUtc3goYDkzdcn_8 &hl=en&ei=Rn75SZz9L8Xktgfa3MmRAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum= 3

      John Hington is also given as John Hinkson in the transcript I provided. When Jesse Doyne of Charles Co., MD wrote his will in 1726 (a year after Chandler), John Hinkson was a witness. Also note that the full phrase in the abstract is "the poor Roman Catholics of this and St. Mary's Counties..."
