My thanks to everyone who emailed me information on the Maryland Attaway family. It does appear that name died out in MD so don't know how my fellow researchers came to the conclusion that our NC, SC people came through MD. Unfortunately they don't have sources for their conclusions. Back to the drawing board:-)

Thanks Timothy, Bobbie Jones and I have been searching together for years. Maybe someday we'll know for sure how Elizabeth connects to the Elder family.

Timothy, I don't know much, but her name was Elizabeth Elder, b. 1837 GA, m. John Lumpkin Watterson 1858 Russell, AL. They both died in TX. I have not found a burial for her but do for him. They had 7 children: Dora, James Warren, Mary, John Jr., Dave C., Julia, and Susan. I do not have parents for Elizabeth (Lizzie) Elder.

Thanks for your help. Some of the Wills I have but hoped I could find exactly where Attaways Purchase might be. I also have a grant for land in Nancemond, NC in 1600s. I will contact the person and links you suggested so maybe there is something I didn't find in Salt Lake.

 

Timothy, I also have some Elders in my tree but they were in Alabama and mid 1800s. Let me know if you are interested.

Sharon,

 

"Attaway's Purchase" does not seem to have been one of the earlier land patents.

 

It is mentioned in the will for John Bond in The Maryland Achieve records in Liber 30, folio 815, and dated 13 Jan. 1760"

 

    "....To wife, Elizabeth, for life, Mosely [Moulsley], the plntn. I dw. on with Attaway's Purchase, & on her d[eath]., to my son John Bond......

 

To son John, a slip of land purchased of Wm. Bullock next the plntn. I live on on the crkside, 1/4 of Burlington, ..... "

 

I believe this was in St. Clements Hundred, somewhat to the west of present day Leonardtown.

 

I think both "Moulsley" and "Allaway's Purchase" were probably each 100 acres in size.  Based on John Bond's will, they were likely adjacent to one another and maybe close to "Burlington" as well.

 

The best source for land record information of this type would be Peter Himmelheber at the St. Mary's County Historical Society.  I would strongly recommend contacting him, if you have not already done so.

 

Cheers.

I am looking for information on a plantation in early St. Mary's called "Attaway's Purchase" that I've seen in family wills, etc. My Attaway family came about 1635 some say on Ark or Dove, but no proof. They did marry into some families I've seen listed as passengers. Any thoughts appreciated.

That would be great -- I don't know of a Glaze connection yet, but I follow all of the Offutts - or try to.

Hi -- I have Offutts, Pritchett, Odle,  Barnes, Price, Crawford, families in Maryland.  Most in Montgomery County, some Baltimore and Frederick.  -- Barnes was Leonard BArnes who married Nancy Price in Frederick County -- both are brick wall ancestors - no clue to parents.
