...an original copy of the marriage record of Christian Swarmsted and Judith Body in the register of the church where they were married on November 9, 1697 which shows a W next to Judith Body’s name which would indicate she was a widow when she married Christian Swarmsted. It would also mean that was her second marriage. Also on Ancestry I found a marriage record of a Richard Body to Judith Squibb on August 29, 1686 which might possibly be a record of Judith Body’s first marriage but I guess there’s no way to be sure. I have also attached a copy of the marriage register for the Body-Squibb marriage along with some documentation.

I found some evidence that strengthens the case that Judith Squibb Body is the person who married Christian Swarmsted. What I found and have attached is a record of a baptism of a Barbery Body on April 7,1691 in the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell and her parents are listed as Richard and Judeth (sic) Body. Now if you look back at the original copy of the church register that I sent yesterday that shows the November 9, 1697 marriage of Christian Swarmsted and Judith Body, you’ll see that it shows Christian Swarmsted B (for bachelor I assume) and Judith Body W (for widow I assume) of St Paul Shadwell which is the same parish or church where the baptism of the daughter of Richard and Judith Body was recorded. So I would think this is pretty good evidence that the Judith Body who married Christian Swarmsted is the same Judith Squibb who married Richard Body in 1686. So we can assume that Richard Body died sometime before November 1697. I didn’t find any more information on Barbery Body other than her baptismal record.² Judith Squibb married Dr. Christian Swarmsted on 9 November 1697 at Saint James Dukes Place, Greater London, England,

What I found and have attached is a record of a baptism of a Barbery Body on April 7,1691 in the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell and her parents are listed as Richard and Judeth (sic) Body. Now if you look back at the original copy of the church register that I sent yesterday that shows the November 9, 1697 marriage of Christian Swarmsted and Judith Body, you’ll see that it shows Christian Swarmsted B (for bachelor I assume) and Judith Body W (for widow I assume) of St Paul Shadwell which is the same parish or church where the baptism of the daughter of Richard and Judith Body was recorded. So I would think this is pretty good evidence that the Judith Body who married Christian Swarmsted is the same Judith Squibb who married Richard Body in 1686. So we can assume that Richard Body died sometime before November 1697. I didn’t find any more information on Barbery Body other than her baptismal record

Name: Barbery Body
Baptism Date: 7 Apr 1691
Parish: St Paul, Shadwell
County: Middlesex
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Parent(s): Richard Body,
Judeth Body
Record Type: Baptism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Paul's_Church,_Shadwell
The old parish church, traditionally known as the Church of Sea Captains, was built in 1656, and rebuilt in 1669 as the Parish Church of Shadwell.

John Wesley used to preach there, and Captain James Cook worshipped at the church; James Cook, eldest son of the Captain, was baptised there in 1763. There is a board outside with a full roll of honour, including Cook's name.

Also baptised there were William Henry Perkin, the English chemist who discovered the first aniline dye, and Jane Randolph, mother of Thomas Jefferson.

The church was demolished in 1817 and the present building, a Waterloo church designed by John Walters, was erected in 1820

Index of Colonial Wills shows this person in Calvert Co. Vol. 36, page 644 will proved in 1768. Alternate spelling is: Swamstedt. Wrote for will packet on 12-05-97 to Maryland State Archives. Spelling is as given, capitals are as written but some punctuation is added for clarity.

"Maryland Calvert County (fs and parallel bars written in) In the Name of God Amen. I Nicholas Swamsted of Calvert County aforesaid, being weak of Body but praised be God of sound and perfect Mind and Memory, Do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following.

Lastly I will and Ordain my Loving Wife to be my whole and Sole Exetricks of this my last Will and Testament revoking all other Wills. As Witness my hand and Seal this Sixteenth Day of January, in the year of our Lord 1749.
Signed Sealed and Acknowledged NICHOLAS SWORMSTEDT (SEAL) in the presents of Thomas Reynolds, John (his mark) Stallings, Thomas Holland On the Back of the aforegoing Will was thus written (Vig a ??) Calvert County to wit November yt. (the) 1st, 1768. Came John Stallings, one of the Subscribing Witnesses to yt. (the) within will Will and being Sworn on yt. (the) Holy Evangelist of Almighty God depose and Says that he saw the Testator Nicholas Swamsted Sign the within Will and heard him publish and declare the same to be his last Will and Testament. And at the Time of his so doing he was to the best of his apprehension of sound Disposing mind and Memory. And that he signed his respective name as an Evidence to the within Will in the presence of the Testator and at his request and that he saw the other two Evidences Thomas Reynolds and Thomas Holland Sign the within Will in the presence of the Testator and at his request. Sworn to before Clement Smith, Deputy Com.ry (Commissioner?) Calvert County Calvert County to wit: The two Deposition anext to the within Will is the Subscribing Witnesses own hands writing and they declared they would not swear to anything Else for that it had been so long ago that they had forgot every thing about it. Before Clement Smith Deputy Com.ry Calvert County"
Ed. note: John Stallings only made his mark on the original document so it seems that he couldn't write and thus had to have his probate deposition written out by the scribe, thus providing us with a date shortly after Nicholas death. This will is copied from the County Register, includes a half page from the previous will and is thus assumed not to be the original signature, but we are told that especially in the signatures, the scribes made an effort to approximate the signatures, unique signature marks and spellings. Thereore, the spelling puts this person into the Swormstedt family, as well as the childrens naming patterns which are close to later generations.

Re: DAR library Swarmsteds file containing a statement of the age of Christian Swarmsted. His age on June 17, 1706 is listed as being ca (about) 44. This would mean that he was born around 1662, was about 35 when he married Judith Squibb Body in 1697, and was about 52 when he apparently died in 1714. The second bit of information is a possible first name for the wife of Nicholas Swarmsted. His next of kin is listed as Hutchings Swarmsted. Although that sounds like a somewhat strange name for a woman, it’s not one of the six children named in his will so I’m guessing that it must be his wife. If she was his wife though, all we know is that she was his wife when he died in 1768. We don’t know if she was the mother of his children. She may have been their mother but she could also be someone that he married after the wife who was the mother of his children had died. I guess we could feel more confident of her status if we could find a record of a marriage between Nicholas and Hutchings.

Edmonstone family historians believe Robert was Archibald's father and John was the grandfather. John listed here may also have been an uncle or cousin. Further info at http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/print.cgi?edmondson::2304.html supports Robert as father and implies John in Maryland may be unrelated.

Edmonstone of Duntreath

APPENDIX 3

AMERICAN DESCENDANTS OF THE EDMONSTONES OF DUNTREATH

AND AUSTRALIANS WITH EDMONSTONE CONNECTIONS.

The American cadet branch of the Edmonstones of Duntreath is believed to be descended from Robert Edmonstone, the third son of John Edmonstone of Broich, brother of Archibald Edmonstone, 8th of Duntreath. Archibald died in 1637 aged only thirty seven. Upon this happening his brothers, first James, and then upon his decease John, became " tutors" (guardians) of Archibald's two young sons, namely William, the "Dumb Laird" and Archibald, 9th of Duntreath.

John married his first cousin Elizabeth Edmonstone who brought him the lands of Ballybantry in Ireland. They had nine children, of whom the third was a son named Robert.

Following the death of Elizabeth, John married, secondly, Katherine Cunningham by whom he had another seven children, the fourth a boy named Robert. Finally, his first son by Elizabeth had ten children, the third being yet another Robert. From available records it seems that the first mentioned, namely the third son of John and Elizabeth, was probably the Robert Edmonstone who is known to have been in America in 1689, and who died there c.1695.

He was the father of Archibald Edmonstone, the acknowledged progenitor of the Edmonstones in America, who was born c.1668 and died in 1734 in Prince George County. (Information lodged in Georgetown Public Library).

Archibald is known to have been in Maryland in 1683 (Maryland Debt Rolls etc). He married Jane Beall, youngest daughter of Ninian Beall, when he is said to have been around seventeen or eighteen years old.

From: "Pioneers of Old Monocacy" The Early Settlement of Frederick County, Maryland 1721-1743 by Grace L. Tracey and John P. Dern. This book has quite a bit of info. referring to Thomas, Jr., (also became known as Colonel Thomas Prather in western Maryland). It states he was a surveyor, Constable of Lower Monocacy Hundred in 1738, a Justice of the County C ourt, an officer with the Maryland Militia and a member of the vestry of All Saint's Church. A few years after 1738, he removed to present-day Washington County, where he built the Prather homestead near Big Pool, Maryland. In 1760 his home on "Ramble" was in the possession of Elias Delashmutt, who in 1778 devised both it and "Sweed's Folly" to his son Basil with the condition that "during his natural life, he shall not dispose of or even lease it during his life except to one of his brethren or one by the name of Delashmutt". By 1743 in the area north of Point of Rocks where the Nelsons had settled, there were new neighbors, including Thomas Prather, Notley Thomas, James and John Hook, the Larkins and the Fees. Thomas Prather, Jr. was one of the most active men in the business affairs of Western Maryland.
