     William Heale married Priscilla Downman, daughter of William (II) Downman and Million Travers, circa 1724
; Her 1st marriage. This appears to be an error on the part of Downman Family [1909:139] and the name of Priscilla's husband was William Heale, not George Heale. See Note for additional discussion.^1,5,6
     ; There may be some confusion about who Priscilla Downman's first husband was.
     Downman Family [1909:139] says that Priscilla, dau. of William II and Million (Travers) Downman, m. Capt. George Heale. There is no reference to a 2nd marriage for Priscilla.
     Hill [1990:46] says that the Priscilla Downman who m2 Joseph Chinn (his 2nd wife) was the "widow" of William Heale.

      .³ Anne Heath was a mentioned with James Johnson II at Citation; MacKenzie & Rhoades [1912:884]: "JAMES1 JOHNSON, who was probably born about 1652, and was living in 1707. Four adoining tracts of land in Poplar Hill Hundred, had been surveyed for and patented to his father, viz: Latchford, 200 acres, surveyed 14 July, 1647; Hunting Creek, 200 acres, surveyed 14 July, 1647; Grannell, 200 acres, surveyed 28 May, 1651; and Wilderpoole, 300 acres, surveyed 14 June, 1653 (St. Mary's Rent Roll, pp. 21-22), and the Rent Roll compiled in 1707, states of each of these tracts that the possessor was ''James Johnson, he lives in Virginia.'' Poplar Hill Hundred was on the Potomac, and there was constant intercourse between Maryland and Virginia across the river, so that James Johnson, son of James Johnson and Barbara Hatton, is naturally to be looked for in one of the Potomac counties of Virginia. When we find a James Johnson living in Westmoreland County and marrying, about 1678, Elizabeth, widow of John Gerard (Quarterly, IV., 36-37),* whose father was a former Marylander, and whose family still had possessions in Maryland, there can be little doubt of his identity. The children of James Johnson and Etlzabeth, his wife, are named in the will of their half brother, John Gerard of Cople Parish, Westmoreland, proved 25 April, 1711. They were: 9. James Johnson. 10. Barbara Johnson, mar. William Newton. II. Elizabeth Johnson, mar. Willam Davis. 12. Frances Johnson. 13. Ann Johnson, mar. Samuel Heath, who died about 1740. They had issue: (17.) Elizabeth Heath, mar. Henry Miller. (18.) Mary Heath, mar. William Tebbs. (19) Ann Heath, b. 9 May, x721, mar. Ist., 1739, George Conway (d. 1754), 2d., 30 Dec., 1764, Travers Downman. (20.) Judith Heath, mar. John Sorrell (Hayden's Va. Genealogies, pp. 247, 514; Quarterly, XI., 207.)
