     Grace Gilbert married Walter Waterling.^2,3

     Elizabeth Gilbert married William Asbeston.²

      ; Elizabeth, the daughter of Richard Gilbert, was raised under the roof of her step- father, Robert Smith, and circumstances again Play its part in the assumption of her marriage William Asbeston [Osbaldston, Asberstone]. In January 1654/5, Robert Smith made a deed of gift of a red-pied heifer to his daughter Elizabeth Asbeston'' and her children and ''her husband which is at present ... and if her husband dye before her the Said Cattle Shall be divided into three parts and my daughter to trace one share and the children two share''. William Asbeston, her husband, gave his receipt and signed his name.

A tie- in, therefore, exists with Robert Smith who married the widow of Richard Gilbert, and the existing proof that Gilbert had a (daughter Elizabeth. As language relative to kinship was loosely employed in those days, the believed relationship was certainly that of step-daughter.³

     Walter Waterling married Grace Gilbert, daughter of Richard Gilbert and Rose (?).^1,2
Walter Waterling was born circa 1608.¹
Walter Waterling died between 30 August 1672 and 14 September 1672 at St. Mary's Co., Maryland, USA; His will was dated August 30, 1672, and probated in St. Mary's County on September 14, following, by William Asbeston and Henry Smith.³

      ; When Richard Gilbert returned to England for his wife and two daughters, Grace and Elizabeth, he brought with them upon his return voyage a redemptioner, Walter Waterling, who had acquired his freedom by 1642. Sufficient evidence leads to the fact that Grace, the daughter, married Walter Waterling, her father's former protégé. It is known that her widowed mother married secondly Robert Smith, but when Smith referred to his granddaughter, Mary Waterling, in 1671, circumstances led to the conclusion that he was actually referring to a step-granddaughter. The fact that the Christian name of Grace is found in the Waterling family and as other evidence and circumstances unfold in the history of the Smith, Gilbert, and Waterling families, they lend further substance to the conclusion that Grace Gilbert married Walter Waterling.

Waterling was assessed for the maintenance of the Province in 1642 at which time he had completed his term of indentureship.1 He was born about 1608, being aged 40 in February 1647/8, so he was a matured man or about 29 years of age upon his entry into the Province. He was often commissioned to appraise estates, but was unlettered. At the 1642 Assembly he and Robert Smith gave their proxies to Thomas Baldridge and at another time he assigned his proxy to Thomas Cornwalys.2

At court in February 1647/8, he testified that in 1644 he had in his house one hogshead of tobacco belonging to Mr. Fenwick which the accomplices of Richard Ingle carried away while he was absent from home.3 At the Assembly of January 1647/8, he personally attended and held two proxies.4 On March 2, 1647/8, he received 80 lbs. tob. by vote of the Assembly for bringing "intelligence touching the Susquehannows".5

On February 28, 1649/50, when Robert Smith claimed 50 acres of land for Waterling's service by marrying the widow of Richard Gilbert, Smith also had the following recorded:6

"I Walter Waterling do give Robert Smith Gratis as his own 100 acres of Land, 50 acres for my freedom and 50 for a maid servant."
Walter X Waterling.
Witnessed by William Asbeston.

On February 13, 1650/1, Andrew Painter, of London, Mariner, agreed to sell him a man-servant. In the same year he and William Marshall were security for the redeeming of the children of Thomas Allen who had been captured by the Indians.7

On June 8, 1654, he leased from Thomas Cornwalys all that neck of land being a part of the Long Neck within the Manor of Cornwalys' Cross for "1 bbl of Good Indian Corne containing five bushels and three good fatt hens or Capons at the Manor House called the Crosse" upon the Feast of the Nativity.8

In no record has the given name of his wile been found. lie gave land rights "gratis" to Robert Smith and the latter named Mary Waterling as a granddaughter in his will. If Waterling had married a blood daughter of Robert Smith, he was fully 45 years of age at the time of marriage, for Waterling was horn about 1608, and Robert Smith did not marry until November 1 638. As remarked previously, all circumstances lead to tile belief that his wife was Grace Gilbert.

In 1658, he, Robert Smith and Rose Smith were summoned to the Provincial Court to testify in behalf of John Biscoe who was being sued by Nicholas Kaytin, and in the same year he, Rose Smith and Jane Chambers received another court summons.3

He furthermore stated that he was a servant at that time to 'Thomas Orley and that the said Orley sold him to Thomas Alien and also half of the land. Asbeston was therefore in the province in 1642, being at that time about 17 years of age.

On August 7, 1661, he recorded his cattle mark at court. On February 19, 1667/8, he gave bond to Fobbe Roberts, Merchant, to pay him 1,952 lbs. tob. "to be paid at my Dwelling house in St. Michael's hundred at or upon the tenth of November next".5
