He married Elizabeth, widow of William Rich, of Talbot County, and 9th March, 1705, he gives to "my four children, William, Peter, Mary and Elizabeth Rich, three cows, marked with the probe mark of William Rich, late of Talbot County, deceased, and two mares, branded W.

Arthur Rich Whiteley was the son of Arthur Whiteley and Elizabeth, his wife, widow of William Rich. He lived on a tract called "Harwood's Choice." 27th November, 1752, Anthony Whiteley, of Philadelphia, Pa., Gent., con- veys to Arthur Whiteley of Dorchester County, Md., all his right, title, etc., to "Harwood's Choice," being the plan- tation on which said Arthur lives, and an adjacent tract called "Henry's Choice" (Dorchester County Records, Lib. 14, old fol. 683). In his will, dated 15th April, 1766, proved 23d November, 1771 (Annapolis Wills, Lib. 38, fol. 537), he omits his middle name and calls himself simply Arthur Whiteley. He mentions in it his wife, Katharine, and the following children :
I. Arthur Whiteley (executor of his father's will).
2. William Rich Whiteley.
3. Betty Whiteley, married Stevens Woolford (see Wool- ford family).

He died in the year 1800, 71 years of age. His son, Rev. Stephen B. Woolford, married a
406
HISTORY OF DORCHESTER COUNTY
Miss Custis, of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Their sons were Stephen, George Whitefield and Hiram W. Woolford; Hiram W. married - Busick, daughter of -, of Dor- chester County, Md. They had four sons and six daugh- ters, viz: Stephen B., Hiram W., Jr., James L., and Wm. W .; Caroline, Sarah, Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Sarah E. and Henrietta. Hiram W. Woolford, Sr., died in March, 1862, at Milton. He was a land owner and slave-holder. Had been elected Judge of the Orphans' Court and several times a member of the Board of County Commissioners, of which he was President. In politics, he was an "old line Whig," and a stanch friend of Thomas Holliday Hicks. Stephen, one of the sons of Hiram, was a mariner and cap- tain of sail vessels for some years, and died when about 48 years of age. Hiram W. was also a mariner and died at the age of 26. James L. was also a youthful captain on his father's vessel until. 1862, when he went "South" and volun- teered in the Confederate Army, November 20, 1862. He was a brave soldier and was wounded three times in the battles at Gettysburg, and only surrendered when he could neither fight nor retreat. After being kept in the Federal hospitals for some time, he was sent to Fort McHenry, and from there was exchanged March 20, 1864, to enter again the conflict of civil war. From this time on he was in numerous skirmishes and battles, suffered many hardships and privations until the close of the war for the cause of his political convictions. He returned to his home in Maryland and resumed his citizenship, acknowledging what the sword had settled for his country to be final, he became a firm and honest supporter of the Union, for one country and one people.
A return to civil life did not take away from him all the charms of military service. He raised a volunteer militia company in Cambridge, called the "Lloyd Guards," then said to be one of the finest drilled companies in the State, and its personnel was beyond the conception of an old time soldier. Soon after he formed the Third Maryland Bat-
407
THE WOOLFORDS AND WHITELEY CONNECTIONS
talion, and was elected its Colonel. This Battalion was regarded as being the finest body of men in the service, and always received honorable mention in Brigade Reports, being well drilled, finely dressed and handsome in appear- ance. No doubt Colonel Woolford and his staff were proud of that command. For twelve years they were the flower of the Maryland National Guard and as true soldiers as ever stood in the "Old Maryland Line."
Colonel Woolford's first business venture after his return from the South, was in the commission business at Baltimore for eight years. From there he went to Cambridge and engaged in the oyster business, where he built up one of the largest trades on the Eastern Shore. His liberal disburse- ments in this business were beneficial to many laboring peo- ple, but did not yield him a profitable return. In 1893 he removed to Baltimore, where he is now in business.
His family consists of his wife, the daughter of Charles Breerwood, of Town Point, whose mother was the daughter of Samuel Hooper. Their three childrn, Gertrude N., Nellie C. and W. Clyde Woolford, reside with their parents.
Other branches of the Woolford family have received biographical notice in "Portrait and Biographical Record of the Eastern Shore of Maryland."
