     Ann Park was born circa 1683. She married William Blackiston Sr., son of Ebenezer Blackiston Capt. and Elizabeth James, before 1711 at Kent Co., Maryland, USA.

Ann Park died between 1724 and 1728.
      ; Her parents names are given on p 135 of the Biographies of MD Legislature.

It appears that the wife Ann Park is not the mother of all the children. She
is said to have married before 1711. She would have been too young to be the
mother of the older children and there is a large gap in ages of the children,
especially with William's will saying she is currently pregnant. Could he have
married Ann Moore too?¹

Sarah Matilda Rasin died after 1870.
      ; I am interested in contacting and exchanging information.

; Her children's names come from Carolyn E. Cooper's book. A DAR application for
Edna Apsley Entler says her grandfather was Joseph R. Apsley 1818-1874 son of
John W. Apsley and Sarah M. Rasin who were married 1816, son of George Apsley,
son of William Apsley as you can tell this is wrong. These early DAR
applications are suspect and not proven.³

Sarah Matilda Rasin was listed as a resident in Dulany Rasin's household in the census report in 1840 at District 2, Kent Co., Maryland, USA;
Dulany was 24 in 1840 and though his name is listed as Head of Household, he could not have been the older male enumerated (aged 40-49). His father and mother were both living at the time and might be the older couple in the household. Dulany did not marry Mary Jane BECK until 1845, so it's unclear to whom the children belong, but they could well be Dulany's siblings.
