Notes - In looking again at Priscilla Gough's administration accounts, I noticed this.
8/15/1770: Admin. accts. of Priscilla Gough, SMC. Received from: Stephen Gough due from estate of James Gough. Payments to: James Pike, Zachariah Forrest, Owen Allen. Legatees: Stephen Gough, Ignatius Gough, William Jenkins, James Greenwell, accountant. Exec.: James Gough. (Admin. accts. of the Prerogative Court of Maryland, Libers, 59-66, 1768-1771 by V. L. Skinner, Jr.). NOTE: This record is not on CD #206.
This last account has just killed two birds (or more) with one stone. Elizabeth Gough, daughter of James and Priscilla, was married to WILLIAM Jenkins, not John Jenkins (per Donnelly). Eleanor Gough, daughter of James and Priscilla, married JAMES Greenwell. As was the norm, the sons-in-law have been paid their wives' share of Priscilla's estate.
Not sure at this point which James Greenwell that Eleanor was married to--there are several contenders.
William Jenkins died in 1789. Elizabeth was still living.
Will of William Jenkins, SMC, 7/9/1789-11/17/1789. Son: Jeremiah Jenkins, 140 acres (on Hominy Creek to William Tarlton's road) with privileges to sons, William Jenkins and Ignatius Jenkins, to get firewood and timber. Son: William Jenkins, 150 acres to the north of the land given to my son, Jeremiah Jenkins (toward Lewis' Creek). Son: Ignatius Jenkins, the remaining part of my land. Daughter: Ann Atwood, a negro boy named Isaac. To: Wife, Elizabeth Jenkins, and children, Mary Jenkins, Elizabeth Jenkins, Joseph Jenkins, Bennet Jenkins, and John Jenkins, the residue of my personal estate. Execs.: Wife, Elizabeth Jenkins, and son, William Jenkins. Wit.: James Hopewell, Vincent Thornton, Matthew Dement. NOTE: Widow renounced will and elected her third.
