Either the blog or I have been confused this morning (probably me)!
I have tried, repeatedly, to answer a comment on the Pedigo post from Stephen Jones to no avail.
Well Stephen, you can contact me at stuccohouseonwb@att.net and I will email
copies of what I have in my files.

Part 1.
The early Pedigo and allied families of Baltimore County, Maryland Colony. This essay does not attempt to complete a history of these families, it attempts only to correct some mistakes from past histories and fill in a few gaps.

Notes and some records for the Mumford and Peregoy families from:
Colonial Families of Maryland, Bound and Determined to Succeed, Robert W. Barnes, 2007. Hereafter noted as Robert W. Barnes.

Maryland State Archives. Hereafter noted as MSA.
I have no explanation for the differences in dates between the MSA and Mr. Barnes in these records.

Mumford, Munford and Momfrett.
The first mention of this family group was in Maryland, 343 years ago, when Edward Mumford was “transported” to North America to the Baltimore area in 1668. The word transported could mean several different things, in this case, Mumford signed a contract with “Capt. James Connaway” committing himself to service for a specified time and his passage to North America was paid in return. The "Goulden Wheat Sheaf," a ship from London, Captain James Connaway commanding, in April 1668 brought planters (farmers) from Middlesex (London) to the Maryland Colony. The transcription of the original document is difficult to read but the general statement above is correct. Edward Mumford is listed as passenger #4 when Connaway assigns claim for headright land in 1668.
MSA Patent record for Capt. James Connaway in Liber 11, folio 337; and Edward Mumford as bound to Capt. James Connaway, dated May 21, 1668, in Liber 11, folio 440. These books are transcripts. The original documents appear in Liber GG, folios 280 and 406. MSA. I have copies of both of these transcribed documents.

Edward Mumford’s name appears in The early settlers of Maryland; an index to names of immigrants compiled from records of land patents, 1633-1680, in the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland. (Also called Brewer’s List.) Edited with an introduced by Gust Skordas and a foreword by Morris L. Radoff. Baltimore, Genealogical Pub. Co., 1979. The difference in the dates on the two separate documents above is easily explained if one looks at the written date transcribed by the clerk at the time….frankly it looks like 1667 until one looks at the list of passengers, compares the clerk’s numbers and realizes that it is 1668.

This next bit is confusing and best handled separately.
“On 2 July 1674 William Poultney made a will naming Edward “Monfret” as his executor and sole legatee (MWB 5:116). On 9 Oct 1677, as executor, he filed an account of the estate of William ‘Doultney” [prob. Poultney] (INAC 4:323). He served as executor of William Poultney on 31 Jan 1681 (INAC 7B:170).” Robert W. Barnes.
“On March 1685/6 Mumford conveyed 100 a. Long Island Point to Thomas Stone and Dennis Garrett [This tract had been surveyed in Oct 1671 for William Poultney. (BALR RM#HS: 166).” Robert W. Barnes.
Mr. Barnes lists this transaction as “Mumford conveyed” but does not say specifically that the deed was signed Mumford.
The Long Island Point property was involved in a lawsuit in 1847 which does not concern us much except for the following quotes.
“The patent to William Poultney was dated 10th July, 1671, and was for all that parcel of land, called " Long Island Point," lying in Baltimore County, on the north side of Patapsco river, and on the north-west branch of the river……” This gives the location of the property and it is known that Edward Mumford lived in this area in 1692.

“that a certain William Poultney, of Baltimore County, deceased, was possessed of a tract of land, called "Island Point,'' situate on a branch of Patapsco river, granted unto the said Poultney, for one hundred acres, by patent, bearing date 10th July, Anno Domini, 1671, and died thereof possessed, Anno 1674; and although an alien, made a will, and devised the same to Edward Monfrett, likewise an alien, in the words:
Item. " I give and bequeath unto Edward Monfrett, of Patapsco, all my lands, goods and chattels,"“
Wilson et al. vs, Inloes et al. --1847 pages 121-170.
Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Court of Appeals in Maryland, Richard W. Gill, Vol. VI. Containing Cases in 1847 and 1848, Baltimore, 1852.
There does not seem to be any evidence that Poultney and Mumford were related. I am not sure what the term “alien” means in this case but would assume the meaning to be a non-citizen inhabitant of Maryland.

Property references MSA.
Reference: Patent Record 19, p. 423 Date: 1677 Description: Jones Neglect, 50 Acres; Certificate. Developer/Owner: Munford, Edward

These are property references Robert W. Barnes.
Patent 1 March 1682, 15 acres in Baltimore County, Hopewell.
Patent 1 April 1682, 35 acres, Hart’s Green. Both properties referenced MPL 24:499, 502, 30:33, 59 (whatever that means).
2 March 1685/6 Mumford conveyed 100 a. Long Island Point (discussed above).
4 Dec 1688 Mumford, with the consent of his wife Ann, sold 35 a. Hart’s Green, and 15 other land to Samuel Lockwood (BALR RM#HS:320).
1 June 1696 Mumford sold 15 a. Hopewell to Charles Gorsuch …. (BALR RM#HS: 181).
I question the date on this entry because our Edward Mumford died late in 1691 or very early 1692, after checking the Land Records, Index, it appears that Mr. Barnes entry should read, “1686” not 1696 .
Mr. Barnes states that, “On all of these deeds, Edward Mumford signed his name.”

These references MSA:

I can not explain the difference in names between MSA and Barnes of the Grantee of Harts Green.

On several family sites Edward is listed as having married a Mary Watkins in Virginia. I could find no records to indicate this is our Edward and doubt that he was in Virginia. There are land records from Maryland however naming his wife as Ann (see above 4 Dec 1688). Edward married Ann unknown last name on an unknown date. Ann was possibly Edward’s second wife and possibly Ann Demondidier. There was an Anthony Demondidier who lived on the “Middle Branch” of the Patapsco during this time period however I can find no reference to a child named Ann.

It would appear that Edward died in late 1691.

I have been working on the Mumford/Peregoy family from Baltimore County, Maryland for about two months without much progress, however I have received some additional information on other families. I know that you are excited when I throw in some history (he said sarcastically) so here we go.

I have discussed the state of Franklin before and this is a perfect time to bring it back into the family discussion. One of the main reasons that the Haworth/Rees branch of our family fled the relatively cosmopolitan (again, sarcasm) settlement in Guilford County for the wilds of western North Carolina (now Tennessee) was the war. Some other reasons were the corruption of the royal government and slow action of reform on the part of the new federal government.

You may remember that James Haworth and Mary Rees were married in Greene County on February 19, 1784 so I am assuming that both Haworth and the Rees family were in this area by 1783. You may also remember that the Rees family was in Guilford County, North Carolina when the Battle of Guilford Court House took place in 1781.
In 1783 the first reference to a meeting of Friends at Nolichucky (a river located, in part, in what is now Greene County, Tennessee) occurs in the New Garden Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina minutes for August 30, 1783, "This Meeting taking under consideration several families of friends that have some time ago removed from here to Nolichucky, refers the matter to next meeting.” The next meeting appointed a visiting committee “to inspect into their situation's circumstances whether their being there tends to honor of truth or not." The report on December 27 suggested that it had "not tended much to the honour of truth" though they were "of the mind that there are some tender minds among them which deserves the notice of their friends". Eventually this Quaker meeting was named New Hope. I do wonder if any of my family were among the “tender minds” or just the tender headed.

Also in 1783 the North Carolina legislature established Greene County taking some of the land of Washington County. The western portion now had three counties, Washington, Sullivan and Greene, with approximately 18,000 people living there. At this time a large tract of land was reserved for the Cherokee Indians.
In 1784 North Carolina ceded western lands to federal government, then repealed the act. This action prompts settlers in the western area to organize the State of Franklin. In 1785 John Sevier proclaimed himself Governor of the State of Franklin. Neither North Carolina nor the federal government recognize this action.
So, for four years there would be dual government in this area with North Carolina and the State of Franklin each, separately carrying on the functions of government such as registering and recording deeds, issuing land grants, issuing marriage licenses and recording marriages. Given the dual government and the Civil War, at a later date, raging through the County, it should be no surprise that many of the records from this area have been lost or destroyed.

However, I have found another record from the area that did survive. It should be noted that the deed was issued when Tennessee was a territory named “Territory South of the River Ohio”. (Above right.)

Map of Tennessee shows (above left), to the right, Green County (Gr) and to the left Dixon (Di) and Williamson (Wms) Counties. James Haworth and William Rees lived in Green County. Joseph Brown lived in Dixon County and his will was filed in Williamson County. (Aw Come on!!! You do remember Joseph Brown whose daughter, Ruth, married John Mendenhall.)

Following is a quote from Goodspeed's History of Greene County, 1887.
“About 1790 a large number of Friends or Quakers began to come into the county from Pennsylvania and North Carolina, although a number of person of that faith had come several years before. Among the pioneers were William Reese, Garrett and Peter Dillion, William and Abraham Smith, Solomon, David and John B. Beales, Samuel and Mordecai Ellis, Abraham Marshall, Samuel Pearson, Samuel Stanfield and George Hayworth. The first religious services were held on the eleventh day of the ninth month, 1791. Other meetings were held from time to time, and on the twenty-eighth day of the second month, 1795, New Hope monthly meeting was organized about one mile west of Rheatown where a house of worship was erected. A church house was also erected on Lick Creek at an early day.”
I believe William Reese was William REES my 5th great grandfather, George Hayworth was the brother of my 4th great grandfather James. Peter Dillon was a cousin of Mary Rees.
You can view photos of the Meeting House at:
http://www.cephasfisher.net/

William Rees is listed on the 1791 and 1792 Greene County Tax List of Captain George Wilson's Company. In 1791 Rees owned 500 acres with 2 “White Persons” (this normally means white men 21 years old or older). In 1792 he owned 1700 acres with 3 “White Persons”.
William Reess is listed on the 1798 Greene County Tax List of Captain John Heneger's Company. He owned 700 acres with 1 “White Person”.
William Rees died in Greene County September 6, 1822.
William’s wife, Charity Dillon Rees died in Greene County September 21, 1827.

Okay, let me see if I can confuse you today.

On October 28, 1835 the General Land Office of the United States granted Nathan Myers of Clinton County, Ohio 160 acres of land in Hamilton County, Indiana the location was recorded as, “s/w quarter of section 11 township 18 north of range 3 east”. And, to my surprise, I have found this property located in Washington Township, Hamilton County not in Noblesville Township where I had always thought it to be located. The Land Grant Map mentioned below lists the date as August 27, 1834...Well this might be the day Nathan paid for the property and it may have taken the Land Office until October 28,1835 to issue the grant. Then as now, government in Washington was slow.

To completely confuse me, the Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office published an Original Land Grant Map (Revised 1999) showing two additional patents for Nathan the first for 80 acres on August 27, 1858 and one for 40 acres also on August 27, 1858 both in Noblesville Township, just to the east and northeast of Gray.. (section 16 township 18 n of range 4e) NEITHER of these patents or land grants are listed by the Federal Government (BLM). This map is located at:

http://www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/services.asp?id=7089

Open above web site, scroll down to
ORIGINAL LAND GRANT MAP (HAMILTON COUNTY)
You will also be able to view the 1866 maps for Delaware and Noblesville Townships at this site. And, if you have an interest you can also find the 80 acres granted to George Haworth in 1837 in Jackson Township that I Posted on April 26, 2011 (section 10 township 19 n of range 5e). The Haworth property seems to have been located a few miles east and a little south of Deming. The Surveyor’s Office also lists three other Haworths in that section Mary, Levi and Margaret, the BLM lists only Margaret. I mention this because this Mary Haworth MAY be Mary Rees Haworth, George’s Mother.

While trying to find an exact location for property that Nathan owned at the time of his death (480 acres), I have come across several atlases for Hamilton County showing the townships and land owners. Well, the Myers property and home place do not seem to have been exactly where I thought they were…..but then maybe they were.

In previous posts I have mentioned that Nathan and then his wife Demaris (Mary) Myers had owned at least part interest in a saw mill. I have found a saw mill on three maps in three different locations that could have been owned by the Myers. I had thought that the mill would have had to have been located on a swift flowing stream however the mill was a steam saw mill and all that was required was a steady supply of water and, of course, fuel. On an 1866 map the Myers family (mother, sons Joseph and George W. and daughter Rachel) also owned (separately) several hundred acres near Gray, to the east and northeast. On the 1866 map a saw mill named Hamilton & Cloud was located next to the Gray Church property. Also on the 1866 map the mother (Demaris) owned 160 acres on what is now the north side of 146th street east of Hazel Dell with three structures (This is the 160 acres that I thought was the original home property.) and directly across 146th street to the south in Delaware Township she owned an additional 80 acres. Now then, if my calculations are correct, this accounts for 360 of the 480 acres owned by Nathan at the time of his death.

On the 1870 census taken on June 13th, Mary is listed as head of household having real estate worth $4,200 and personal estate as $1,000. Also in the household are George listed as a trader owning $10,000 in real estate and $1,000 in personal estate; William listed as a farmer owning $3,000 in real estate and $400 in personal estate; Mary’s daughters Elizabeth and Mary J. and son Charles and two other individuals John Britton and Pat Stewart.

On an 1880 map Mary still owned (and here the numbers on the map are a bit blurred) 58? acres of the 160 acres north of 146th street mentioned above. This property included two structures, one being a steam saw mill and to the east, 48 acres owned by her son Charles Myers. Directly across 146th street to the south were 64 acres owned by W. P. Myers (William Penn) and directly to the east of this 64 acres, a 16 acre parcel owned by M. Myers (Mary or Demaris, take your pick.) and directly to the south of this 16 acres, another 16 acre parcel owned by M. Myers.

The 16 acre parcel of land directly to the east of W. P. Myers owned by Mary is probably the 16 acres mentioned in a lawsuit that I posted on April 26, 2009, “The defendant William P. Myers for his separate answer herein denies every allegation in the complaint contained and for a separate cross complaint herein, the said William P. Myers says that he is the owner in fee simple of the 16 acres described in said complaint. That Mary Myers on the __ day of ____, 1884 was the owner of all land described in plaintiffs complaint that at said date she sold said 16 acre tract to the cross complainant for the sum of $900.00 which amount was all paid to her at the time. And the Plaintiff took possession of same and made valuable and lasting improvements and that it was the intention of said Mary Myers to execute a deed of conveyance to cross complainant in a short time for said 16 acres, but on the __ day of August, 1884 she suddenly departed this life without executing said deed of conveyance. The defendants George and Joseph Myers for answer to the cross complaint of William P. Myers say that the matter and things stated therein are true.” The court agreed and on October 19, 1886, a court commissioner’s deed was issued to William P. for the 16 acres.

On the 1880 census Mary is still living in Noblesville Township but her son George W. is listed as head of household. Also in the household are Mary’s daughter Rebecca Myers, divorced; a granddaughter of Mary’s Della Myers and Sam’L Hill who apparently worked at the Myers saw mill. The census also lists both of Mary’s parents as being born in New Jersey.

The four surviving children of William Riley and Lucinda Pedigo Mendenhall as listed on the 1880 census.
Cornelius Loy and his wife lived in Washington Township, Hendricks County, Indiana, close to the Guilford Township line. The Loys owned nearly 500 acres of land in 1865. Lydia Ann (Aunt Anna) lived with the Loys and married one of their sons A.(mos) D.. Mailing address, P.O Box, Bridgeport, Marion County, Indiana. Lydia Ann is listed as “House Keeper” on the 1880 census. (If you are an ardent genealogy freak and use Pilot Search (an Ancestry web site) to look at the 1880 census you will find Cornelius Loy listed as Cornelius COY.)
Ida lived with the family of Eli W. Parnell in the same vicinity of Washington Township. Eli’s wife, Mrs. Mary A. Loy Parnell, was the daughter of Cornelius and sister to Amos. Ida is listed on the 1880 census as J, Ida Mendinghaul her sister is listed as Annie Mendinghaul (at least on the Ancestry Pilot Search transcription, Eli W. Parnell is listed as PARNLL.). Ida is listed as a “Servant“ on this census. Mailing address, P.O. Box, Bridgeport, Marion County, Indiana.
Biographies of Washington Township from "Atlas of Hendricks Co Indiana" (1878: J.H. Beers & Co., Chicago)

Mary E.(llen) is listed on the 1880 census as “Niece” living in the household of Daniel R. and Sarah E. (Mendenhall) Jones in Earlham, Madison County, Iowa. Sarah E. Mendenhall Jones was the sister of William Riley Mendenhall. There were no other children listed in this household in 1880.

James E.(dwin) Mendenhall is listed on the 1880 census living in the household of David Hayworth in Liberty Township, Howard County, Indiana. He is listed as “Other” in relationship to the head of the household. David Hayworth was the brother of Phoebe Rebecca Haworth who was the mother of William Riley Mendenhall. The Haworth Association of America lists James’ death date as December 23, 1891.

On April 13, 1837, George, Jane and 9 children received a certificate to transfer their membership from Fairfield to Westfield Monthly Meeting in Hamilton County, Indiana where they were all received on September 7, 1837.

George is listed on the 1840 census for Jackson Township, Hamilton County. Indiana living next to his son in law Jesse Mendenhall. (Jesse’s wife was Phoebe Rebecca Haworth and one of their sons was William Riley Mendenhall father of Ida Jane.) George and Jane are also listed on the 1850 census for Jackson Township. In 1850, Hinkle Creek Monthly Meeting was set off from Westfield Monthly Meeting.

You may remember that the above refers to George and Jane Thornburg Haworth, the above land grant is for their property in Hamilton County, Indiana. If you happen to have a range map for Jackson Township, you can find the exact spot where their property was located.

The map of Fairfield Township, Highland County, Ohio that was posted on January 6, 2011 showing the property of James and Mary Rees Haworth appears to be proven correct by the transcribed deed below.

And now, whether you like it or not, a bit of history. Prior to 1784 Virginia claimed all of Kentucky and much of Ohio in the Northwest Territory as part of its colonial charter. In order to overcome objections from other states Virginia ceded the right to land north of the Ohio River before ratifying the Articles of Confederation. In return Virginia was granted an area of over 4 million acres in south central Ohio known as the Virginia Military District which was reserved by Virginia to use as payment to veterans (or their heirs) for their service in the Revolutionary War. This area included the entire area of Highland County and other counties. The Military District was to be held in reserve until all of the land in what is now Kentucky was used and then Military Warrants would be issued for the Ohio lands. This grant program was to end in 1803 but due to confusion, corruption and law suits (Sound familiar for a government program?) was extended several times until about 1870. Now, the reason for this brief history…..All of the Ha(y)worth deeds are connected with Military Warrants.

All of the deeds mentioned are from Highland County, Ohio. For some reason all of these deeds were re-transcribed by the County Recorder and the dates do not run consecutively. After reading and transcribing these deeds, I think that one could say that the re-transcriptions were not proof read. I have decided to post the earliest deed because it appears to have been the location of the Ha(y)worth home and mill. There is no “degrees key” on by keyboard, or if there is I can’t find it, so where the “degrees sign” appears in the deed I have transcribed (degrees).

Transcribed Deed Book 1, page 258, June 16, 1810 Nathaniel Pope and James Johnson sell to James Hayworth of Highland County 303 acres on the waters of Paint Creek for $600. Paint Creek is several miles east of the Ha(y)worth home and mill on Lees Creek. I assume that James purchased the property as an investment. Nathaniel Pope was one of the first settlers on Lees Creek along with James.
