William Richardson, of William and Elizabeth Talbot, had by Margaret Smith, five sons -Joseph, Daniel, Richard, Nathan and Thomas; and two daughters-Sarah Hill and Sopha Galloway.
Sarah Hill was the mother of Henry Hill and Margaret Hill, both mentioned in the will of William Richardson. Sarah Richard- son, wife of Henry Hill, was grandmother of Priscilla Dorsey, of Belmont, and of Mary Gillis. In connection with these, the will of Sarah Hill, mother-in-law of Joseph Hill, named her daughter, "Elizabeth, now wife of Thomas Sprigg, two kinswomen. Sarah Hop- kins and Elizabeth Bankston, daughters of my cousin, Cassandra Giles. My sister, Margaret Richardson, my wearing apparel. To my five cousins (nephews and niece), sons of my sister, Margaret Richardson, Sarah Hill, Joseph Richardson, Daniel Richardson, Richard Richardson and Nathan Richardson, all of my plate.

To Richard Sprigg, son of Thomas Sprigg, my spice box. To Henry Hill, son of Dr. Richard Hill, a colored man. Son-in-law, Joseph Hill, executor."
Witnesses, Mary Gillis, John Gillis, John Davidge.
The will of Joseph Hill, in 1761, named his daughter, Mary Wilkinson, a spinster, to whom he gave "Folly Point." "To grand- daughter, Henny Margaret Hill, 'Horn Neck,' ' Piney Point,' ' Yeate's Come by Chance,' 'Yeate Addition' and 'Hill's Forest,' in Balti- more County. If without heirs, to go to cousin (nephew), Henry Hill. To my sister, Mary Gillis, Priscilla Dorsey and sister Milcah, cousin, Joseph Richardson, all personal property.

To John Ruley, 'Edward's Neck' and 'Ruley's Search.' Thomas Sprigg and Robert Pleasant, personal estate and executors of my will."
Daniel and Joseph Richardson, brothers of William, Jr., also remained in Anne Arundel County, and owned parts of "Hickory Hill," about 1707.
Joseph Richardson, Jr., bought "Moneys True Dealing," of John Edmondson, in Dorchester.
He married Dorothy Eccleston, daughter of General John Eccleston, of Dorchester County.

In 1789, Joseph Richardson married Elizabeth Noel, of Dor- chester. He was Justice of the County Court, in 1775, and one of the commissioners to settle disputed boundaries of Dorchester, by Frederick Calvert.
The arms of the Richardsons are those of the Richardsons of " Rich Hill." Crest a dexter arm, erect, coupled below the elbow, holding a dagger in the hand. Motto: "Pro Deo et Rege.".
JOHN MACCUBIN?
John Maccubin, of the Lowlands of Scotland, known in the Highlands as McAlpines, claiming descent from Kennith II, who, having united the Scots and Picts into one government, became the first King of Scotland, came to the Severn with the Howards, and married Susan, daughter of Samuel Howard. He took up "Timber Rock," and left by his first wife, John, Samuel and Eliza- beth Maccubin, all named by Samuel Howard in 1703.
John Maccubin married again, Elinor, and died in 1686, leaving a will in which he named his wife, Elinor, executrix, and sons, Samuel, William, Zachariah and Moses inheritors of his tract, "Wardrope." His son, John, to inherit the homestead, " Bramton," after the death or marriage of his widow. She became the second wife of John Howard, without issue.
Zachariah Maccubin, her son, married Susannah Nicholson, daughter of Nicholas and Hester Larkin. The former was the son of Sir John Nicholson, of Scotland, and the latter, (said to be the first child born in Anne Arundel), was the daughter of John Larkin, from whose family, also, came the wives of Colonel Edward Dorsey, Judge Samuel Chase and Judge Townley Chase.
The issue of Zachariah and Susannah Maccubin were Nicholas and James Maccubin (with others). Nicholas-Mary Clare Carroll, only daughter of Dr. Charles Carroll and Dorothy Blake. The former was the immigrant son of Charles Carroll and Clare Dun, of the old Irish houses of Ely O'Carroll and Lord Clare. The latter was the daughter of Henry Blake and Henrietta Marie Lloyd, daughter of Colonel Philemon and Henrietta Marie Lloyd. An interesting view of these two families may be found in a chancery case of Carroll vs. Blake.
Mary Clare (Carroll) Maccubin, was the sole heiress of her father's and brother's immense estate, which included "The Plains," west of Annapolis; nearly all of the southeastern portion of An- napolis; "Mt. Clare" and "The Caves," near Baltimore. To her sons, who assumed the name of Carroll, it was willed by Charles Carroll, the Barrister, her brother. Her son, Nicholas Carroll, married Ann Jenings, daughter of Thomas Jenings, Attorney- General of Maryland.
Nicholas and Ann Jenings Carroll held their homestead upon the site of the present public school, in Annapolis. Their son, John Henry Carroll, inherited "The Caves." He married Matilda

Hollinsworth, of Horatio and Emily Ridgely, daughter of Judge Henry and Matilda (Chase) Ridgely. Their son is General John Carroll, of "The Caves."
James Carroll, son of Nicholas Maccubin and Mary Clare Carroll, has been elsewhere recorded in the families of Henry Dorsey Gough and General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton.
Mrs. Elinor Maccubin, widow of John, was, as I believe, of the family of Dr. Charles Carroll, and James Carroll, of "All Hallows" Parish; both of whom were witnesses to her will, in 1711. Her daughter, Sarah Maccubin, became the wife of William Griffith, and the mother of Orlando and Captain Charles Griffith, of Anne Arundel.
Charles Carroll, barrister, son of Dr. Charles and Dorothy (Blake) Carroll, was born 1723. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge and studying law in Middle Temple, returned to Annapolis in 1746. He was an elegant, able, fluent speaker, and a terse writer. Many State papers were the porduct of his pen. He wrote the "Declaration of Rights"; was on the Committee of Cor- respondence; president of the Maryland Convention; in the Council of Safety; member of the Convention which asked Governor Eden to vacate; he helped to form the government; he was elected to Congress, but declined the office of Chief Judge of the General Court of Maryland; a member of the Maryland Senate.
He married Margaret Tilghman, daughter of Matthew. They left no children.
He died at Mt. Clare, near Baltimore. His tomb is in St. Anne's grounds, at Annapolis.
His estate went to his sister's sons, the Maccubin boys, who changed their name to Carroll at the command of the barrister, to perpetuate his distinguished name.
HAMMOND.
John Hammond, author of "Leah and Rachel," was in Maryland during the Severn Contest, in 1655. From him several quotations have already been made.
The next immigrant in Anne Arundel County, was John Ham- mond, of the Severn. His estate joined the Howards, and he was a brother-in-law of them, having married Mary Howard, and not Mary Dorsey, as the will of Samuel Howard shows.
In 1689 he was a member of the Provincial Court of Anne Arun- del, and one of "The Quorum." In 1692, he was elected a delegate to the Lower House, with Colonel Henry Ridgely and Hon. John Dorsey. Still later he was appointed by the royal administration, with whom he was in favor, Judge of the High Court of Admiralty.
A concise history of his career is recorded in the annals of St. Anne's Church, as an obituary notice. He was one of the vestry at the time of his death, and was an ardent member of the Church of England. He gave, in 1695, a deed for a church site upon "Severn

Heights" to his friends, members of Westminster Parish. The only consideration was, "the love he bore his neighbors." He acquired a large estate in both the City of Annapolis, and upon the Severn. He was a witness and executor of his brother-in-law, Cap- tain Cornelius Howard, and was considered a leading man in the county.
It has frequently been written that his English progenitors were men of eminence in both medicine and politics.
St. Anne's records upon his death, in 1707, read: "Hon. John Hammond, Esq., Major-General of the Western Shore of Mary- land, one of her majesty's most honorable Council and Judge of the High Court of Admiralty in the Province of Maryland, was buried the 29th of November, 1707."
In St. Anne's grounds his tombstone now rests. Long after all vestiges of his old homestead upon the Severn had disappeared, this memorial was found and removed to the church grounds of his devotion. St. Anne's Church has, also, a well-preserved Bible, pur- chased by the vestry from a legacy of £10 left by him to the church.
General Hammond's will reads: "I leave my home plantation to my wife, Mary. My eldest son, Thomas, my plantation called 'Mt. Airy Neck.' To son, John, the plantation where he lives, a part of 'Swan Neck'; to son, William, the other part. Son Charles Flushing, 'Deer Creek Point,' 'Rich Neck' and 'Hammond's Forest." To my first three sons, my houses and lots in Annapolis. My four sons to be my executors."
General Hammond was one of the commissioners, in 1694, to lay out lots and organize the town of Annapolis. All of these commissioners saw the coming capital; each took up several lots in the town.
Thomas Hammond was a neighbor of his uncle, Captain, Cornelius Howard. He married Mary Heath, daughter of Thomas, whose will distinctly shows that her daughter, Mary Hammond, was the wife of Cornelius Howard, Jr., Helen, her other daughter, be- came the wife of the second John Worthington, the rich merchant. She bore him a long and distinguished line of sons and daughters.
John Hammond, Jr., was the executor of his uncle, Samuel Howard, under the title of "cousin"-clearly shown to mean "nephew. "He married Ann Greenberry, youngest daughter of Colonel Nicholas. She bore him two daughters, Comfort and Rachel, and two sons, Thomas John and Nicholas.
Colonel William Hammond left his inheritance on "Swan's Neck" and became the Baltimore merchant. His store was one of Henry Dorsey Gough's row, near Light Street, on Baltimore. He had a distillery at Elk Ridge and a forge mill at "Hockley," near the Relay. He was a member of the vestry of St. Paul's Church, Baltimore. His wife was Elizabeth Ravin. Their daughter, Mary Hammond, married Colonel John Dorsey, another Baltimore merchant, and member of St. Paul's vestry.

Colonel William Hammond died at forty, and lies buried at "Hammond's Ferry." Mordecai and William Hammond were sons.
Charles Hammond, next son of General John, took up his resi- dence near Gambrill's Station. It was evidently the same site, if not the present house, of Major Philip Hammond, now owned by Mr. George A. Kirby.
Charles Hammond married his first cousin, Hannah Howard, daughter of Philip and Ruth Baldwin. They left a long and wealthy line, viz .: Colonel Charles, the treasurer; Philip, the big merchant; Nathaniel, the planter; Rezin, bachelor; John, the big planter of Elk Ridge; and two daughters, Hamutel and Ruth Hammond. His will, of 1713, was witnessed by his neighbors, John, Richard, Alex- ander and Ruth Warfield, all of the neighborhood of Millersville.
Colonel Charles Hammond was State Treasurer. Having married Mrs. Rachel (Stimpson) Greenberry, widow of Colonel Charles, they resided at "White Hall."
His will, of 1772, named his daughter Mrs. Ann Govane; his granddaughter, Ann Marriott; grandsons, Thomas and James Home- wood Marriott; William, Ann and Hamutel Bishop, children of his granddaughter Rebecca Bishop; grandson, Charles Homewood. All were legatees of "Meritor's Fancy," a tract that came through his wife.
"Madam Rachel Hammond, the worthy consort of Colonel Charles Hammond," records the Maryland Gazette, "died last Saturday night, February 25th, 1769."
Colonel Charles Hammond's death was, also, recorded thus: "On Sunday night, September 3rd, 1772, died Hon. Charles Hammond, Esq., president of the Council and treasurer of the Western Shore."
After the death of Mrs. Hammond, "White Hall" passed to the vestry of St. Margaret's Church. By an act secured by Governor Sharpe it was later sold to him. Among the Ridout papers are letters between Governor Sharpe and Colonel Charles Hammond, negotiating for a portion of his daughter's estate adjoining.
Philip Hammond, of Charles and Hannah Howard, inherited the Annapolis portion of his father's estate. He was a leading import merchant, having his warerooms in "Newtown," a recent addition to the Port of Annapolis. He was, also, prominent in legislative and church affairs. His wife was Rachel Brice, daughter of Captain John Brice, of Annapolis.
His will, of 1753, probated in 1760, names his heirs. "To son, Charles, all the cargo of goods in store in this country at Newtown. He is to manage the estate, not only the goods now here, but such as are to come. My brother, John, to be employed to assist him. My daughter, Ann Hammond, is to be paid £1000. All the rest of my estate to be divided among my six sons, Charles, John, Philip, Denton, Rezin and Matthias."

The last four were bachelors. Charles was known as Colonel Charles, of Curtis Creek. He does not appear to have succeeded in settling up the estate. He resigned, and at the time of his death, was recorded as "Colonel Charles Hammond, of Curtis Creek."
He married Rebecca Wright and left sons, Rezin, Charles, Philip, John; and one daughter, Hannah. His estate extended from Curtis Creek to Elk Ridge. He died in 1772 ..
- John Hammond, of Philip, the merchant, married Henrietta Dorsey, of Henry Hall Dorsey. His will, of 1784, named his son, William, to whom he left "Champion Forest," extending from the Severn to Elk Ridge, and "Hammond's Search," and "Support."
"To Doctor Pue, my attending physician, my tract at Henry Dorsey's mine bank, called 'Prospect.' " Named his three daugh- ters, Henrietta, Sarah and Mary Hammond, to whom he left a long list of tracts,which, in case of failure in heirs, were to go to Dr. Thomas Wright Hammond. "To my daughter, Elizabeth Ann Hammond, my South River Quarter composed of ' Abington' and Hereford.' "
To his son, William, he left, also, all of his interest in the un- collected claims of the late Philip Hammond. To his housekeeper, Miss Anne Walker, for her kind attention and education of his children, he gave several tracts and several negroes to wait on her.
To son, Thomas Hammond, a large list of tracts at the head of the Severn. Finally, tired of naming them, he stopped with the hope of being spared to finish his lengthy will of six or eight pages, but he died before finishing it. His amanuensis, Mr. Thomas Pitts, completed it from a schedule left for him by the testator. It pro- vided for his daughter, Henrietta, a long list of tracts. To daughter, Sarah Hammond, another long list, and to daughter, Mary, a still longer one, including all of his lands in Annapolis.
The four bachelor sons of Philip and Rachel (Brice) Hammond, handed their estates down successively to their remaining brothers. By the side of their father and mother their tombs may yet be seen at the early homestead, near Gambrill's Station, Annapolis & Elk Ridge Railroad.
The father is recorded "a just and good man."
Denton Hammond died in 1782, leaving twenty-eight different tracts of land, many negroes, and much stock to his brothers and to the children of his late sister, Mrs. Anne Hopkins. Philip Hammond, Jr., died in 1783, leaving twenty-seven tracts to his brothers and nephews. Matthais and Colonel Rezin were the Revolutionary patriots in conventions and the Council of Safety. The former died in 1789, leaving his estate to his surviving brother, Colonel Rezin Hammond, whose English brick house stood north of Millers- ville.
Colonel Rezin, in 1809, left several tracts to William Hammond Marriott, and his nephew, Philip Hammond Hopkins. "To Denton Hammond, son of my nephew Philip, 2,348 acres of 'Hammond's Inheritance,' 1,877 acres of 'Hammond's Enlargement,' a part of
182
FOUNDERS OF ANNE ARUNDEL AND HOWARD COUNTIES.
'Brown's Addition' and 300 acres of 'Hammond's Ridge.' To Matthias Hammond, son of my nephew Philip, 636 acres of 'Finland,' 1,680 acres of 'Hammond's Inclosure,' 1,200 acres of 'Hammond's Plains,' 773 acres of 'Piney Plains' and parts of 'Hickory Ridge' and 'Marsh's Forest.' "
After setting free a number of his most faithful servants, with land and houses for their use, Colonel Rezin gives all his remaining hosts of negroes, stock, farming utensils, crops and money to these two heirs; making them his executors.
The above "nephew Phillip" was the son of Colonel Charles, of Curtis Creek, better known as Major Philip, inheritor of the old Hammond homestead; parts of which are still as well-preserved as when built by him. Five fields of a portion of that home still bear their original names. One known as "Deer Park" fed the celebrated herd of deer which adorned Major Hammond's Park.
Major Philip Hammond married Elizabeth Wright. His ten thousand acres were divided into one thousand acre tracts among his sons. His will, of 1822, granted to his wife, Elizabeth, “ ‘Ham- mond's Connexion,' adjoining Rezin Hammond's lands; to descend to son Thomas, and, if no issue, to George Washington. Son Philip, to hold the 'Sixth Connexion'; Rezin to hold 'Warfield's Forest,' 'Owen's Range' and 'Hammond's Connexion'; John to hold 'Ham- mond's Green Spring'; Henry 'Snow Hill'; Matilda 'Hammond's Fifth Connexion'; Harriet, a mortgage of $10,000."
Dr. Thomas Hammond, of Major Philip, was a member of the legislature at the time of his death, in 1856. His wives were Mar- garet Boone and Mary Ann Wesley, and his heirs were Philip T. A., William Edger, Charles, Arthur, Silas Wright, Mary Ann and Arabella.
Philip and Arthur married sisters of Mr. Geo. A. Kirby, present owner of the Hammond Manor House.
The other sons of Major Philip were John-Harriet Dorsey; Charles - Achash Evans; Henry, died single; Denton - Sarah Baldwin; Philip-Julia Ann Hammond Rezin; - Ann Mewburn; Matthias- Eliza Brown; Elizabeth - Dr. Mewburn; Harriet - Henry Pue; Matilda-Rev. Richard Brown; Mary Ann-John W. Dorsey, father of the late Judge Reuben Dorsey, of Howard.
Denton Hammond, in 1805, married Sarah Hall Baldwin, daughter of Lieutenant Henry Baldwin by his wife, Sarah Hall Rawlings. Their daughters were Mrs. Richard Cromwell and Camilla, wife of Dr. Thomas Snowden Herbert, and mother of General James R. Herbert, C. S. A., ex-commander of the Fifth Regiment of Maryland Militia, and ex-police Commissioner.
Matthias Hammond, in 1810, married Eliza Brown. Their sons were Denton and Matthias, who inherited all, but were to pay their sister, Caroline Brown Hammond, $5,000. Rezin Hammond, brother of the testator, was executor. Philip Hammond, Sr., and Philip Hammond, Jr., were witnesses.

Matthias Hammond, of Matthias, in 1846, a resident of Anne Arundel, left all of his lands, bank accounts, to his wife, Margaret D. Hammond, son Henry and daughter Elizabeth.
NATHAN HAMMOND.
This son of Charles and Hannah Hammond started with " Hammond's Forest," and became very rich in lands and negroes.
His wife was Captain John Welsh's daughter, Ann, who bore him seven sons and six daughters. Philip, their son, married Bar- bara Wright, and in 1799, named his heirs Nathan, Philip, Lloyd Thomas, George, Walter Charles, Ariana Mackelfresh and Mary Ann Hammond.
Dr. Lloyd Thomas Hammond held an estate near the Pine Orchard, in Howard. His neighbor was Colonel Matthias Hammond, with one thousand acres in one body. Dr. Lloyd T. Hammond, in 1806, was one of the building committee of the Old Brick Church. He married a daughter of Thomas Beale Meriweather. Issue, Reuben T. Hammond, Judge Edward Hammond and Mrs. Dr. Wm. Magruder.
Rezin Hammond, of Nathan, left all of his lands on the Patapsco to Rezin, his son, wife and daughter, both named Rebecca. Rezin Hammond, Jr., named his sister, Rebecca Gist, and his brother Matthias Hammond, to whom he left his estate in Delaware Bottom, near Abel Browne. Matthias willed his to brother, Nathan.
Captain Thomas Hammond, of the Revolution, made the fol- lowing will on the eve of his departure: "As I am ordered in a day or two, to join General Washington's army, and if it should please our Supreme Judge that I should not return, I make the following will:
"To my son, Thomas Hughes Hammond, my dwelling and lots on Howard's Hill, in Baltimore, whereon is a small wooden house. If he die without issue, it is to go to my brother Andrew. My lot of ground purchased of Henry Gough, and part of my lot on Howard's Hill to be sold."
William Hammond, of William, began his will thus: "Glory be to God on high, peace and love among men." His lands at Liberty, devised to him by his uncle, Hon. Upton Sheredine, had been sold to General Richard Coale. His sons were Larkin and William Hammond.
William Hammond, a famous attorney and writer of Annapolis, built, in 1770, one of the historic houses of Annapolis, now known as the Harwood House, on Maryland Avenue, nearly opposite the "Chase Mansion." The foundation walls are five feet thick. Its parlor has a carved wainscot surrounding it. Its mantel piece, win- dow, door frames, shutters and doors are carved in arabesque, the handsomest specimen in Maryland.
Mr. Hammond built it for an intended bride, and had even visited Philadelphia in search of furniture, when the engagement was broken and Mr. Hammond remained a bachelor.

In 1811, the house and grounds extending from King George Street to Prince George Street, were purchased by Chief Justice Chase for his oldest daughter, Francis Townley, wife of Richard Lockerman. She designed and laid off its garden and planted its box walk. It descended to Mrs. William Harwood, granddaugh- ter of Judge Jeremiah Townley Chase, and is still held by descendants.
DULANY:
The Dulany records of Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky, make mention of two Delany brothers and three sisters, from Cork, Ireland, landing near the town of Bellhaven, now Alexandria, about 1700. The eldest brother, William, moved to Culpepper, Virginia, and returned to Wye in Queen Annes, Md., and there died.
The Maryland record mentions William and Daniel Delany, brothers, sons of Thomas and Sarah Delany, from Queen County, Ireland, who, in 1700, changed the spelling to Dulany, after their arrival.
In support of these traditions, we find the will of Thomas Delany on record in Baltimore, dated 1738. It names Wm. Delany, to whom was left "Wright's Forest," and Daniel Delany, to whom one shilling was given. There were two more sons, Thomas and Dennis.
In the biography of Daniel Dulany, of Annapolis, we find him at the time of the above will of Thomas, quite a prominent man in the province; for he was then commissioner. Still later, by the influence of Colonel Plater, into whose family he is said to have married, Daniel Dulany rose to Attorney-General and judge of admiralty; ending as commissary general, agent and receiver, in addition to being in the Provincial Councils of Governor Bladen, Ogle and Sharpe. He was for several years the leader of the country party in the Lower House.
His second wife was Rebecca Smith, daughter of Colonel Walter Smith. In the grounds of St. Anne's, at Annapolis, his elevated tomb, erected to his wife before 1753, pays a marked tribute to her memory. He died in 1753, and his official title is added to the marble slab of the same tomb.
The issue by her was Hon. Daniel (the younger), Walter and Rebecca-Jas. Paul Heath; Rachel-first, William Knight, second, Rev. Henry Addison; Dennis, clerk of Kent County; Mary-first, Dr. Hamilton, of Annapoils, second, William Murdock; and Lloyd Dulany.
Walter Dulany succeeded him as commissary-general. He married Mary Grafton, daughter of Richard. His letters to her, and her letters to him during the critical period of the Revolution, have been preserved as interesting bits of history in the work of Miss Murray, of West River, in her biography of Rev. Walter Dulany Addison, entitled, "One Hundred Years Ago."

The family ,as a whole, belonged to the Tories of the Revolu- tion, and as such lost their vast estate by confiscation. The sisters, Rebecca, Mary, Kitty and Peggy Dulany were later allowed four hundred acres by Congress.
These ladies have become corner stones of very important family buildings in Maryland history.
Rebecca Dulany became the wife of Thomas Addison, Jr., of "Oxon Hill." Much has been written of his coach and four, with liveried outriders; of his handsome English coach horses, and of the truly magnificent display of this planter.
