Research Notes: Husband - Edward Norwood



Ruth was widowed in 1729 when deeded "Owings Addition" by her brother Richard.


Research Notes: Wife - Ruth Owings



May be the same person as Ruth Owings listed here with Rachel Beale as her mother. Sources list two different individuals as husband of Ruth Owings -- John Norwood and Edward Norwood.  One could be in error.  The "other" Ruth Owings married Edward Oursler.

http://www.owingsstone.com/getperson.php?personID=I270&tree=owingsstone has Ruth Owings b. 1696, mother Rachel Robert.

Source: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/AF/family_group_record.asp?familyid=1811568&frompage=99 lists two daughters named Ruth Owings, one born in 1696, d. 1732, the other born 1708.

Were there really two?  That would eliminate some of this confusion - two mothers, two daughters.

Were there two mothers named Rachel, each with a daughter named Ruth??

The case for two daughters named Ruth:

Source: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.snacestry.com/~paxson/southern/owings.html (compiled by MJP Grundy, 2002): "On 3 Nov. 1729 Richard [Owings, Jr.] and his wife Sarah made a deed of gift of 'Owings Addition' to his sister Ruth NORWOOD, and on 24 May 1732 they gave Ruth, identified as 'spinster', for her 'natural life' 32 acres of 'Owings Addition' also to her."

Research Notes: Husband - Thomas Sprigg, Lord of Northhampton Manor



From: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3143362&id=I631844474 :

Thomas Sprigg, a well to-do planter, arrived in America in about 1650.

On 18 Jan 1658, a patent was issued to Thomas Sprigg who had transported to Maryland "Himself, Catherine, his wife, Verlinda Roger, Edward Bushell, Nathaiel Sprigge and Hugh Johnson." The patent was for a tract of 600 acres, called "Sprigley," on Chester River. Thomas Sprigg called one of the tracts he took up "Kittering" and another "Northampton." Ultimately, Thomas Sprigg owned nearly 1000 acres of land and is considered instrumental in developing Prince George County, MD.

His year of birth has been placed based on a deposition made in 1665 in which he gave his age as 35 years. Another deposition made in 1694 gave his age as 64 years.

His first wife, Kathryn, was living on 17 Aug 1661; she was probably a sister of Governor Stone of Maryland, who in his will, dated 3 Dec 1659 and proved 21 Dec 1660, mentions "my brother Sprigg;" and Thomas Stone, son of the governor, executes an assignment, 3 Aug 1662, 'to my uncle Thomas Sprigg."

In 1651 Thomas Sprigg was living in Northampton County, VA, but by 1660-61 he had settled in Calvert County, MD, on or near "Resurrection Manor," and later at "Northampton," Prince George County. In 1661 he and John Nuthall signed the "Submission to Parliament."

Thomas Sprigg fought against the Nanticoke Indians. He was Justice of the Peace and of the Quorum for Calvert County in 1658-67-68-69-70-74. Com. High Sheriff of Calvert County, 1 Apr 1664 to May 1665; he was also one of the first gentlemen to be made Justice of the Peace and Gentleman Justice of the Quorum for Prince George County, 1696.

"Lt." Thomas Sprigg was a signer of the Association Address to King William III congratulating him upon his escape from "Conspiracy and Assassination."

In 1696 he endorsed a round-robin letter from ship-owners and commanders of the fleet excusing delay in sailing to England on the ground of "illness among the men, backward crops, and desertions to Penna."
