Subject: Fw: [MDSTMARY-L] Lois Green Carr's notes at the Md. State Archives
Here's a gem of an example from Dr. Carr's notes:
5/4/1702: Samuel Cooksey vs. Michael Curtis and Sarah, his wife, Eecutrix of Justinian Gerard.
On 8/4/1682 at St. Clement's Manor in St. Mary's County, Justinian Gerard made his last will and testament in writing and made Sarah, his wife, his sole executrix.
On 10/2/1688 in the same place by a certain indenture, Justinian Gerard sold about 100 acres of land, pt. of St. Clement's Manor, to Samuel Cooksey for 7,000 lbs. tobacco. Included in the agreement were the privileges of hawking, hunting, fishing, or fowling upon any part of St. Clement's Manor and to fall and make use of any lumber for building and fencing upon the bargained land. By virtue of the indenture, Samuel Cooksey entered the tract of land and was thereof possessed. Sometime after Justinian Gerard died, and after his death, on June 10, 1688, his wife remarried to Michael Curtis. On June 25, 1700 the plaintiff charges that Michael Curtis and Sarah broke the covenant made between Justinian Gerard and Samuel Cooksey. Plaintiff claims 500 lbs. sterling damages. Defendants pray liberty to imparle unto next Provincial Court. It is granted. Defendants say the action ought not to have been brought because they have fully administered, etc., and they have not nor at the time of the issuing of the original writ, had they any assets in their hands unadministered to satisfy the damages in the declaration. They pray judgement. Judgement for plaintiff. Samuel Cooksey shall recover against the estate of Justinian Gerard which shall hereafter happen to come into the hands of Michael and Sarah Curtis. 500 lbs. sterling damages plus cost of suit. (Provincial Ct. Judgements WT No. 4, f. 28-32. (Men's Career Files, MSA, Dr. Lois Green Carr. http://209.116.251.240/).

Incidentally, the new book by Robert Barnes "Maryland Marriage Evidences, 1634-1718" states that Sarah, wife of Justinian Gerard and Michael Curtis, married first, Maunders Charmes. Not so. She married first, Wilkes Maunders who died in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1666. In all probability, Sarah was the daughter of William Tucker, Jr. who died before 1653 in Warwick, Virginia. She was a full sister of Rebecca, wife of Thomas Warren based on the testimony of John Warren, Rebecca's son.

12/15/1736: Deposition of John Warren in which he stated he was a nephew of Sarah, she being a sister of the whole blood of this defendant's mother, and that said Sarah was the widow and Exec. of Justinian Gerard of SMC (MD Chancery Depositions).

And....so we can make this one go full circle (without really trying), John Warren married Bridgett Richardson, the widow of Maunders Charmes.

On 8/4/1682 at St. Clement's Manor in St. Mary's County, Justinian Gerard made his last will and testament in writing and made Sarah, his wife, his sole executrix.
On 10/2/1688 in the same place by a certain indenture, Justinian Gerard sold about 100 acres of land, pt. of St. Clement's Manor, to Samuel Cooksey for 7,000 lbs. tobacco. Included in the agreement were the privileges of hawking, hunting, fishing, or fowling upon any part of St. Clement's Manor and to fall and make use of any lumber for building and fencing upon the bargained land. By virtue of the indenture, Samuel Cooksey entered the tract of land and was thereof possessed. Sometime after Justinian Gerard died, and after his death, on June 10, 1688, his wife remarried to Michael Curtis. On June 25, 1700 the plaintiff charges that Michael Curtis and Sarah broke the covenant made between Justinian Gerard and Samuel Cooksey. Plaintiff claims 500 lbs. sterling damages. Defendants pray liberty to imparle unto next Provincial Court. It is granted. Defendants say the action ought not to have been brought because they have fully administered, etc., and they have not nor at the time of the issuing of the original writ, had they any assets in their hands unadministered to satisfy the damages in the declaration. They pray judgement. Judgement for plaintiff. Samuel Cooksey shall recover against the estate of Justinian Gerard which shall hereafter happen to come into the hands of Michael and Sarah Curtis. 500 lbs. sterling damages plus cost of suit. (Provincial Ct. Judgements WT No. 4, f. 28-32. (Men's Career Files, MSA, Dr. Lois Green Carr. http://209.116.251.240/).

Incidentally, the new book by Robert Barnes "Maryland Marriage Evidences, 1634-1718" states that Sarah, wife of Justinian Gerard and Michael Curtis, married first, Maunders Charmes. Not so. She married first, Wilkes Maunders who died in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1666. In all probability, Sarah was the daughter of William Tucker, Jr. who died before 1653 in Warwick, Virginia. She was a full sister of Rebecca, wife of Thomas Warren based on the testimony of John Warren, Rebecca's son.

Editors: According to Patents 2:346, Leonard Greene and Thomas Greene were transported by their father, Thomas, Sr. in 1644 (Gibb), but Thomas Greene was already in Maryland presuming he is the same who sat in the Freeman's Assembly of 1637

According to the research of Mrs. G.W. Hodges, her source not known, Thomas Greene married (1) Ann, sister of Sir Richard Gerrard, Knt., and widow of --- Cox (The Ark and The Dove). According to Patent Records ABH:6, "Thomas Gerrard [sic] immigrated in 1633, and by 1648 had married Mrs. Winifred Seyborn, who immigrated in 1648 (Gibb). This same record, however, also states that Thomas Green [sic] was transported in 1644, and it is thought by Gibb that the surname Gerrard may be a transcription error and actually Thomas Greene (which may explain Mrs. Hodges' statement that Thomas married Anne (Gerrard?) Cox).

According to Skordas, Mrs. Winifred Seyborn immigrated in 1638, and afterwards married Thos. Green, Esq., and later, Mr. Robt. Ceart. (Patents ABH:6 and 57. Skordas) and Mrs. Winifred Seyborne immigrated in 1638, "the wife of Thomas Greene" (Patents 2:346, ibid.) Another entry in Skordas states that Mr. Robert Clark [sic] married prior to 1654, Winifred, widow of Thomas Green, Esq., citing Patents ABH:403. Other patent records indicate that one Thomas Greene married by 1664, Jane, widow of Nicholas Harvay, by whom she and their daughter, Frances, had been transported to Maryland in 1641 (Patents CC:53-4, transcript 7:62, and ABH:102). (Skordas). Elsewhere, however, this compiler states that Jane, widow of Nicholas Harvey, married Thomas Greene by 1653 (Patents 7:62)

Thomas Greene was the second Governor of the Province of Maryland, appointed by the first Governor, Leonard Calvert, from his deathbed in June of 1644 (Calvert also termed Leonard Greene his godson in his nuncupative will). Thomas Greene served until March 1649 when he was succeeded by William Stone, who was commissioned by the Proprietary on 6 Aug 1648, and assumed office in April, 1649. During absences from the Province, those acting as governor by Stone's appointment were Thomas Greene, May to July, and September to December, 1649; and Thomas Hatton, June, 1650.

Why Thomas Greene signed the above document (rather than a standard will) is not known.

Tom Green TBGreen3@aol dot com

Regarding Gov. Thomas Green; no, he did not marry Hellen the daughter of George, Lord Baltimore, also called Leonard Calvert who was a "beloved friend" of Thomas Greene. Thomas Green married twice, the first time to Mistress Anne Cox, a spinster. The term spinster was an honorable title for a lady of that day. The term is related to the spinning wheel and its impact on society and the economy of the day. Until the invention of the spinning wheel it took 6 women working to provide the necessary yarn for one man to operate a loom. After the invention of the spinning wheel, ONE lady could keep 6 men supplied with enough yarn to work their looms. This was the first time a woman could earn a living by her own labor, so the select ladies that chose the spinning profession were called "Spinsters." This marriage is said to be the first Christian marriage performed in Maryland. Lord Baltimore granted Thomas Greene 10,000 acres of land which was a "burden" and he gave it back to Lord Baltimore. Thomas Green then purchased 1,000 acres which was all on the Island of Poplar, which he called Bobing Manor after his distant ancestor's estate in England. Lord Baltimore appointed Thomas Green to the Privy council of the Colony, and in 1647 Lord Baltimore became ill and appointed Thomas Green to succeed him as Provincial Governor. Thomas was governor of Maryland from June 1647 to April 1649 when he was replaced by Capt. William Stone of Virginia. Thomas Green was a Catholic and the colony was predominantly Protestant, so Thomas Green was not a popular Governor, expecially in 1649 when the Colony learned that King Charles I had been be-headed. William Stone had replaced Thomas Green, but Stone was away from the Colony, and Thomas Green was again Governor, and on November 15, 1649 he proclaimed that the King's son, also named Charles, the Prince of Wales was undoubtedly the rightful heir to all his father's domain and Thomas Greene hereby proclaimed him King Charles II. When Governor Stone returned to the Colony he repudiated the declaration of Thomas Green, but it was too late to stop Charles II from taking the throne and Olivar Cromwell then took controll of the government as a "Protectorate," and you know the rest of the story, as they say.

Another milestone document was placed into law in Maryland in 1649 when an Act concerning Religion was passed by the Assembly on April 21, 1649 and was signed by Thomas Greene. This is considered the first statute in America granting freedom of religion to the people. This was a very radical idea in that time, as it was legal to hang a Quaker in all Colonies except Maryland because of their religious beliefs.

Mary Ann:

There is nothing stated in "The Ark and the Dove Adventurers" to show any family relationship between Thomas Greene and Lord Baltimore's family. None of Lord Baltimore's daughters listed married anyone named Green/Greene.

The Thomas Greene in the book came w/ the Ark & Dove. He had 2 wives: Anne Cox and later Winifred Seybourne, widow of Nicholas Harvey. He was appointed Governor on 9 June 1647 by Leonard Calvert, but in 1648 William Stone became Governor. He was dead by 23 January 1651/52.

The book covers LOTS of his descendants, Page 112-137. Among the surnames besides Greene: Wheeler, Marbury, Alvey, Simpson, Thompson, Clements, Noble, Hoye, Deakins, Hatton, Frazer, Smallwood, Hagan, Spalding, Hamilton.

Descendants pretty much cover all of Southern Maryland; later lines to Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina.

One descendant #221. Raphael Spalding was the father of the famous Mother Catherine Spalding, founder of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

Interesting family line, but gives zero on the parents of Thomas Greene nor any marriage connection into the Lord Baltimore family.

MEMORANDUM: I, Jane Green, the now wife of Thomas Green of Elizabeth River in the Co. of Lower Norfolk, planter do here testify freely before the magistrate that I was the lawful wife and widow of Nicholas Harvey of Patuxent in the Province of MD, planter (late deceased) and do freely acknowledge and confess, that the bargain and sale made (by my now husband Thomas Greene unto Edward Lloyd of Seaverne in the foresaid Province of MD) my thirds and rights in and to my late husband Harvey's plantation.
(Need to find my reference for this!).

Haven't found the source for the above reference, but it's corroborated by Harry Wright Newman in "The Flowering of the Maryland Palentine."

Newman says "The administration of his estate (Nicholas Harvey) became much involved. His widow, Jane soon married a Thomas Green and departed for 'Elizabeth River in Virginia' and left her young step-daughter in the hands of her deceased husband's neighbours. She and her second husband were conscious of the dower interest in St. Joseph's Manor, so in March 1654/6 (that's what it says), conveyed their interest or 1/3 to Edward Lloyd of Maryland."

Greene was born in Bobbing, Kent, England in 1610. He was the son of Sir Thomas Greene and Lady Margaret Webb. His father was created Knight Bachelor of the Realm by James I in 1622 at Windsor Castle.

Thomas came over from England on the Ark and Dove expedition in 1634. Greene was among the earliest settlers of the colony after its founding in 1634 as a haven of religious tolerance for English Catholics among other groups. He was already prominent in the politics of the colony by 1637 or 1638, when he became a prominent leader of moderate Catholics. More radical Catholics led by Thomas Cornwaleys resisted attempts by the colony's proprietor, Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore to ensure a broader religious tolerance by, for example, restricting the activities of the Jesuits. Greene and others voted against some of these measures, but despite pressure from Cornwaleys and the Jesuits accepted the laws once they were passed.[4]

In 1647, Greene was appointed to the governorship by the colony's first governor, Leonard Calvert, as an emergency measure only hours before Calvert's death due to a sudden illness.[3] He was by this point one of the few early settlers still active in colonial leadership. Some, such as Leonard Calvert, had died and some, such as Thomas Cornwaleys, had returned to England.[4] Greene, who had been a member of the colonial council prior to his appointment and was familiar with the issues confronting the colonial government, quickly set about strengthening the colonial militia in response to threats from the Nanticoke and Wicocomico tribes of Native Americans. Among his actions was the payment of arrears to soldiers at St. Inigoe's Fort as well as appointment of John Price as the new commander of colonial militia.[5] These were necessary steps given that the colonial militia had been severely taxed during armed conflict with Virginian William Claiborne and his allies during the previous three years. Greene also appointed a number of Catholics to government offices, but was unable to build Catholic influence in the colony and suffered severe political setbacks when the Protestant-dominated colonial assembly passed legislation unfavorable to the proprietary government.[4]

By 1648, Cecilius Calvert replaced him with William Stone. Greene was a Catholic and a royalist, and some historians have speculated that Stone, a Protestant and supporter of Parliament, was appointed in his place to appease the Protestant majority in the colony.[6] Following his removal from office, Greene served as Deputy Governor under Stone. In November 1649, while Stone was in neighbouring Virginia, Greene used this position to publicly declare Maryland in support of Prince Charles, the heir to the English throne. Earlier that year, the Prince's father, King Charles I, had been executed by the mainly Puritan Parliamentarians in the culminating event of the English Civil War. Stone quickly returned and retracted the declaration, but the event was enough to convince Parliament to appoint Protestant commissioners Richard Bennett and William Claiborne to help oversee the colony. Bennett and Claiborne appointed a Protestant council to oversee the colony, creating some confusion as to whether this council of the proprietary governor and his deputies was in charge. The council, among other decisions, rescinded the Maryland Toleration Act which had guaranteed religious freedom in the colony and banned Catholics from worshiping openly. Stone attempted to regain control of the colony by force, but was defeated in the Battle of the Severn.[3]

Greene died in St. Mary's County, Maryland shortly before 20 January 1652.

Ancestry
The Greene family of Maryland did not descend from the Green family of Green's Norton, Northamptonshire, but rather through the illegitimate child of Sir John Norton of Northwood, Sir Thomas Norton who took on the alias Greene; hence the descendants surname of Greene.[7] He was descended from Nicholas de Norton, who lived in the reign of King Stephen,[8] and was possessed of much land in the neighbourhood of Norton and Faversham, as appeared by the chartulary of the monastery of St. Augustine.[8]

Governor Thomas Greene was the son of Sir Thomas Greene of Bobbing Kent and Margaret Webb of Frittenden, Kent, England. Gov. Thomas had three brothers; Jerimiah Greene, John Greene, and the Hon. Robert Greene, Lord of Bobbing Manor who had joined his brother in Maryland for a time, but returned to England as the eldest son to inherit his father's property. Governor Greene's father, Sir Thomas, was created a Knight Bachelor of the Realm by King James I on 5 September 1622.[9][10] at Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England.

Sir Thomas Greene's father was Sir Robert Green of Bobbing Kent who married Frances Darrel, daughter of Thomas Darrel of Scotney. Sir Robert was the son of Sir Thomas Norton alias Greene and his wife Alice Heveningham, daughter of Sir George Heveningham. George, by his mother Alice Bruyn, was a first cousin of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk.[11][12] Sir Thomas was the illegitimate child of Sir John Norton of Northwood through whom the family descended.[7] Between 1536 and 1541, Sir Thomas Norton Greene was granted royal favours by Henry VIII. During the dissolution of the monasteries the rectory at Bobbing Manor along with "all manors, messuages, glebe, tithes and hereditaments in the parishes and fields of Bobbing, Iwade, Halstow, and Newington" were granted to him by the King.[9]

Sir John Norton of Northwood's wife was Joan Northwood, co-heiress with her brother to the estates of John Northwood, Esq. Sir John Norton's father was Sir Reginald Norton of Lee's Court in Sheldwich, Kent who married Katherine Dryland of Cooksditch in Faversham, Kent, England.[13]

Lees Court
Sir Reginald's grandfather Sir John Norton married Lucy At-Lese. It was through her that their descendants came into the possession of Lees Court alias Sheldwich, some of whom lie buried at Faversham. The property of Lees Court which seems to have comprehended the manor of Sheldwich, became the property of that family during the reign of Edward I. From their residence at the Lees, the family assumed the name of At-Lese, their mansion here being called Lees-court, a name which this manor itself soon afterwards adopted, being called THE MANOR OF LEESCOURT, alias SHELDWICH. It was the previously mentioned Sir John Norton of Northwood who alienated this manor to Sir Richard Sondes, of Throwley, whose son Sir George Sondes, K. B. succeeding him in it, pulled down a great part of the old mansion of Lees-court, soon after the death of King Charles I. He then completed the present mansion of Lees-court, the front of which is built after a design of Inigo Jones, to which he afterwards removed from the ancient mansion of his family at Throwley.[8][14] The current court was inherited and is currently inhabited by Phyllis Kane, Countess Sondes, wife of the former Henry George Herbert, 5th Earl Sondes Milles-Lade who died in 1996.

Marriage and issue
In 1634, the Hon. Thomas Greene married Anne Cox. Author Harry Newman states that "Mistress Ann Cox" was one of the few "gentlewomen" on the initial voyage of the Ark and the Dove that sailed from England to Maryland. In a footnote he states: "Mistress was a title of Courtesy and respect and was the 17th century style of addressing unmarried ladies of position."[9] "Mrs. Ann Cox" received a special grant of 500 acres (2.0 km2) of land from Lord Baltimore in 1633. Thomas and Anne were wed in 1634 on the banks of the St. George River. Their marriage was considered to have been the first Christian marriage performed in Maryland and had issue.[2]

Thomas Greene (1635 – c. 1665)
Leonard Greene (1637–1688). Married Anne Clark and had issue. Leonard's godparent was Leonard Calvert. Their daughter Mary married Francis Marbury.
Thomas married Mistress Winifred Seybourne [Seaborne] (b. abt 1610, England) on 2 April 1643 and had issue. Mistress Winifred Seybourne emigrated to Maryland in 1638 who by her title indicated gentle birth and likewise one who arrived to the age of discretion to be recognised as a femme sole in matter of ethics and business. On 30 July 1638, she received 100 acres for transporting herself and another 100 for transporting Mistress Troughan. She emigrated, that is, financed her own passage thus indicating a lady of means.[2]

Robert Greene (1646–1716)
Francis Greene (1648–1707)
A third wife is often cited for Thomas Green, Millicent Browne. There is a Thomas and Millicent Green residing in Stafford County Virginia a few years after the death of Governor Thomas Green, therefore, Millicent Browne was not another wife of this Thomas.
