My thanks to everyone who emailed me information on the Maryland Attaway family. It does appear that name died out in MD so don't know how my fellow researchers came to the conclusion that our NC, SC people came through MD. Unfortunately they don't have sources for their conclusions. Back to the drawing board:-)

Thanks Timothy, Bobbie Jones and I have been searching together for years. Maybe someday we'll know for sure how Elizabeth connects to the Elder family.

Hi Sharon,

Here is Nancy answer.

**************************

Hi Tim,
  This is the "PETER ELDER" line of VA and GA
However, Lee Elder's "PETER ELDER" book doesn't have any Watterson names.

Google search: "Elizabeth ELDER" and "John Watterson"

   >I am interested in the Elizabeth born in 1835 in Ga. and later moved to Ala. Beleive that she might possibly be the elizabeth Elder who married John Watterson on 29 December1858 in Russell county Ala.

Timothy, I don't know much, but her name was Elizabeth Elder, b. 1837 GA, m. John Lumpkin Watterson 1858 Russell, AL. They both died in TX. I have not found a burial for her but do for him. They had 7 children: Dora, James Warren, Mary, John Jr., Dave C., Julia, and Susan. I do not have parents for Elizabeth (Lizzie) Elder.

Hi Sharon,

What are their name and i will look them up in the Elder book. Did they spell iy with or without and "S". Mine are without an "S".  William Elder b 1681 (England? died 1714 Prince George's County Maryland. He had two sons William B 1707 d 1776 and Thomas B1709 d 1765?

Thanks for your help. Some of the Wills I have but hoped I could find exactly where Attaways Purchase might be. I also have a grant for land in Nancemond, NC in 1600s. I will contact the person and links you suggested so maybe there is something I didn't find in Salt Lake.

 

Timothy, I also have some Elders in my tree but they were in Alabama and mid 1800s. Let me know if you are interested.

Sharon,

 

"Attaway's Purchase" does not seem to have been one of the earlier land patents.

 

It is mentioned in the will for John Bond in The Maryland Achieve records in Liber 30, folio 815, and dated 13 Jan. 1760"

 

    "....To wife, Elizabeth, for life, Mosely [Moulsley], the plntn. I dw. on with Attaway's Purchase, & on her d[eath]., to my son John Bond......

 

To son John, a slip of land purchased of Wm. Bullock next the plntn. I live on on the crkside, 1/4 of Burlington, ..... "

 

I believe this was in St. Clements Hundred, somewhat to the west of present day Leonardtown.

 

I think both "Moulsley" and "Allaway's Purchase" were probably each 100 acres in size.  Based on John Bond's will, they were likely adjacent to one another and maybe close to "Burlington" as well.

 

The best source for land record information of this type would be Peter Himmelheber at the St. Mary's County Historical Society.  I would strongly recommend contacting him, if you have not already done so.

 

Cheers.
