Songs: Going Home, A Wonderful Life & Mother's Only Sleeping.' Ruth never married - the reason why as well as the men in her life remain a mystery. NOTE: There is some discrepancy about who my father's father was. Community rumor had it that Joe SCOTT was his father (apparently some of the SCOTTs have a rare genetic defect - Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome - that is passed on to first-born children, usually the males, and is noticeable in their hands), yet my father obtained a copy of his birth certificate 60 years later that stated that someone named Ernest CAVINESS was his father. After some research it was determined that by the time my father was born Mr. CAVINESS, still quite a young man, had been dead for 5 months. We speculate that my grandmother, still unmarried with already one 'illegitimate' child, listed the name of a dead man to protect the real father. The HUNTLEYs, SCOTTs and CAVINESS' lived only a short distance from each other in the old Welling Route Community of Cherokee Co., OK. My grandmother, for whatever reason, would never disclose or even discuss with the children who their father was until the day she died. --CLS.¹

THE ANCESTRY OF REBECCA WHITE (WIFE OF SAMUEL W. CECIL), Elise Greenup Jourdan, 1994

Around 1745/50 Samuel W. Cecil, b. 23 Mar 1719 in Maryland, married Rebecca White, born 20 Aug 1723 Queen Anne Parish, Prince George's Co., Maryland. Rebecca was the daughter of Benjamin White and Ann Hilliard who were married 1 Feb 1722/3 in Queen Anne Parish. Most Cecil family histories state that Rebecca was the daughter of Benjamin White who was the son of Guy White (2). This is not correct. The confusion arises from the fact that there were two Benjamin Whites according to the 1733 list of taxables in Patuxent Hundred, Prince George's County (Cal. of Md. State Papers, The Black Books 266 II, 114). Benjamin White [b. ca 1702], son of Guy White (2), was the grandson of Guy White (1), the immigrant, who settled in Calvert County in 1648. Guy (1) is believed to have married Sarah, the daughter of Ishmael Wright. Their two known children were Guy White (2) and Elizabeth White. The will of Guy (1) leaves all his real estate to his son Guy (2) at 21 years of age. This will, written 21 Nov 1676, indicates Guy (2) was born after 1655 (Md. Cal. of Wills, I.178). Guy (2), a carpenter, bought hundreds of acres of Cold Spring Manor on the Patuxent river from 1698 to 1701 (Land Records of Pr. Geo.'s Co.) He married Elizabeth Griffith and had at least six children including Benjamin, b. ca 1702. The will of Guy (2), written and probated in 1712 leaves his son Benjamin a portion of Cold Spring Manor at age 16 (Pr Geo.'s Co. Probate Records, 13.474). The will of Elizabeth Miles, widow of Guy (2) who married next to Thomas Miles, leaves her son Benjamin White one slave (Across The Years in Prince George's Co.) Benjamin married Elizabeth Smith and lived on Cold Springs Manor. He had no daughter named Rebecca . Benjamin White, Father of Rebecca White, may have been descended from the James White (1) who died in Anne Arundel Co. by 1684. James' will, written 29 Dec 1672 identifies his wife Susanna, daus. Margaret and Elizabeth and son James (2). This will also mentions Eglington plantation (Md. Cal. Wills, I.74). James White, planter of St. Mary's Co., age ca 56 years gave deposition 21 April 1737. James (2), the only son identified in the will of his father, is found in land records of Anne Arundel County and his son, James White, Jr. (3), is found witnessing a will in 1760 in Frederick County (Md. Cal. Wills, XII.24). Eglington plantation was left to daughter Margaret in the will of James (1). Daughter Elizabeth was the contingent legatee if Margaret died without heirs. In 1685 John Brown, husband of Elizabeth, sold Eglington, which then lay in Calvert Co. in the portion which became Prince George's County (Pr. Geo.'s Co. Land Records F.113). In 1742 the Court of Prince George's County was petitioned regarding the ancient boundaries of Eglington. One of the deponents was Benjamin White, age 47 [b. ca 1695]. Anyone called to identify old boundaries would necessarily have been expected to have some knowledge of them. This suggests that Benjamin White, born ca 1695, had some connection to the James White family which originally settled the land. the most obvious conclusion is that Benjamin was a younger son of James White (2). The children of Benjamin White [b. ca 1695] and Ann Hilliard [b. 10 Oct 1701] from the records of Queen Anne Parish, Prince George's County, Maryland. -- Elise Jourdan

It is however not altogether conclusive as it stands. The statement that the Benjamin s/o Guy(2) and Ellizabeth Griffith married Elizabeth Smith and "had no son Benjamin" doesn't stand alone. This, apart from any other, does not preclude the possibility of one Benjamin who married twice Elizabeth Smith and Ann Hilliard (your note/Question). The data also does not address the possibility of kinship of James 1 & 2 with Guy 1 & 2. Are they strangers, brothers, cousins?......that question in unanswered. The answer to this could explain why Benjamin (whichever one) was presumed knowlegable about the ancient boundaries of Eglington Manor. The tax list entries of two Benjamins may indeed mean two separate and individual Benjamin's, but it does not preclude the possibility of either a redundant (and erroneous) entry by the recording clerk or the possibility that different recording clerks recorded the same Benjamin in relation to two different taxable holdings of land or buildings. The apparent age difference ca1702 vice ca 1695 is not compelling or statistically different. By this I mean that ca only needs to be interpreted as ca = +/- 3 ½ yrs and they both become ca 1698 ½. This degree on uncertainty of a date is certainly not unusual nor is it unusual to infer "same person" from that range of dates. What I conclude from this is that we are comfortable with Benjamin and Ann downward...Rebecca etc. and we now have a increased level of uncertainty with regard to Benjamin's antecedents and kinsmen and this discussion will take a prominent place in my notes. -- Walt Morrow.¹
