Notes:

He is probably the Philip Duvall living alone in the 1800 Montgomery Co., MD census between the age of 16 and 26 along with one slave.

Family/Spouse: Mary LOVEJOY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Though he was born in Anne Arundel Co., MD, he grew up in Rock Creek Parish which at that time included Prince George and Frederick Co., Maryland. Parts of Frederick Co. became Montgomery Co., Maryland which could account for the fact that he raised his own children in Montgomery Co., Maryland. He took the Oath of Allegiance in 1778 in Montgomery Co., in front of Magistrate Edward Burgess to verify his patriotism in the Revolutionary War. In the first census of the United States for Frederick Co., Maryland (1790), there were 2 males over age 16, 4 under age 16, 5 females and 6 slaves in his household. (CL-697)

He was sued by Stephen Musgrave. On Nov. 18, 1791, the court decided in Stephen Musgrave's favor and ordered that Lewis' property, "Richardson's Range" be sold at public auction. Thomas Cornelius Howard was the highest bidder. Howard received the land formally on Dec. 26, 1795.

Richard Morgan and his wife, the niece of Lewis Duval, also sued him. The court again went in the favor of Richard. This time he had to sell "Richards Range, Bristol and Rogues Harbour" for the settlement. On June 16, 1798, Isaac Webster received the properties.

In the 1800 census for Montgomery Co., Maryland, he is probably the Lewis Duvall with the following information, although a Lewis Duvall Jr. is also listed which looks like it could be him instead. If he is the Lewis Duvall, he and his wife are over age 45. They have one son under age 10, one son and daughter from age 16-26 and 3 slaves. If he's the Lewis, Jr., he and his wife were over age 45. They had a daughter from age 10-16, one daughter and 2 sons from age 16-26 and 7 slaves.

He appears to sell to his son John on Jun 15, 1815 for $493.00, "Richardson's Range" and "Roque's Harbour". He called himself Lewis Duval, Sr. at the time. His wife, Ann, waived her dower rights.

He died without leaving a will before Sept. 15, 1817 when his estate was probated. Son Philip was named administrator.

Lewis married Anne WELSH, * before 1763. Anne (daughter of John WELSH, * and Hannah HAMMOND, *) was born before 1750; died before 9 Aug 1825 in , Montgomery, MD, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ann wrote her will in 1818, not quite 7 years before her death. In it, she only named her children, Elizabeth Owens and Lewis W. Duvall. Witnesses were Ephraim Etchison and Samuel Welsh, Sr. It is not known how Samuel is related, but it is suspected that he might be her brother. A Samuel Welsh lived in Montgomery Co., MD and witnessed the sale of land by John Ward to Henry Griffith on Oct. 16, 1779. (CL-707)

Notes:

His home was at "Wilson's Grove", which he inherited from his grandfather though his father. This was his home until 1737 when an act by Assemby occurred involving his inherited lands. He then sold this land on Oct. 17, 1737 to William Peele. He is listed as having many small children at the time. Only four of them have been discerned to date. He is likely the Captain Lewis Duvall listed in "Settlers of Maryland, 1731-1750." He purchased 100 acres of land named "Addition" and 50 more acres called "Pretty Land" on Jun 10, 1734, both in Anne Arundel Co., MD. He made additional purchases on Nov 3, 1737 of 50 acres called "Little Worth" in the same county.

He ended up moving to Frederick Co., MD where he was the purchaser of the following lands: "Beginning" of 29 acres on Nov 27, 1752 in Frederick Co., MD, "Griffin's Chance" of 60 acres on Aug 11, 1753; 265 acres of "Griffin's Chance" in Frederick Co., on Dec 31 1754 and "That's All", 32 acres in Frederick Co. on Mar 11, 1756.

In 1759, Lewis gave surety for Elizabeth Ridgeley of Anne Arundel Co. who was the executrix for the estate of William Ridgely. She was the mother-in-law to Lewis's son, Aquilla Duvall.

He and possibly some of his sons are thought to have removed to Pennsylvania.

Lewis married Eleanor FARMER on 26 Nov 1722 in , Prince George, MD. Eleanor (daughter of Samuel FARMER and Sarah DUVALL) was born in 1707 in Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's, MD; died in 1755. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John was left land in his father's will, "Arnold Gray" and it's addition as well as "The Neglect".

John married Hannah HAMMOND, * in 1741. Hannah (daughter of John HAMMOND and Anne DORSEY) was born on 26 Apr 1723 in , Anne Arundel, MD; died after 1779. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John purchased the following properties in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland over his lifetime: "Duvall's Range" of 708 acres on Nov 16, 1694; "Duvall's Delight" of 1000 acres on Dec 10, 1695 ; "What You Will" of 373 acres on Jun 1, 1700; "Luggox" of 780 acres in 1702; and "Honest Man's Lot" of 110 acres on July 22, 1707. After his death, his son John appears to have inherited or sold "Duvall's Delight" of 3,108 acres on Apr 10, 1715. He was what you would call "A Man of Property". Harry Wright Newman conjectures in "Mareen Duvall of Middleton Plantation" that John was born in France and was separated from his father as and infant. If his theory is correct, he is the John who arrived in Maryland from France in November of 1678. This would account for why he was not in the military service like his brother, Mareen "the elder" when there was an Indian uprising shortly before he arrived. It is clear from Mareen's will that John is his oldest son. Mareen "the elder" was simply the oldest of 2 sons that Mareen named after himself by two different wives.

John was the most distinguished of his father's sons. He was an officer in the military of Anne Arundel Co., Maryland in 1696. He was listed as a member of the Grand Jury in 1698. He was an advisor to the council regarding Richard Clark's treason in 1708. In Oct. of 1710, he petitioned the Grand Jury about excessive fees being levied by the court that could not be sustained by debtors either in the form of a tax or for their court fees.

When he married, his father in law gave he and his wife the gift of property called "Wilson's Grove". He added to this property over time and also owned "Duvall's Range, Duvall's Delight, What You Will, Out Quarter, Lugg Ox, and Honest Man's Lott" totaling thousands of acres.

He donated land for the earliest Parish church called the Church of St. Barnabas before the year 1705. He had 12 children by his wife, but also had a love affair over multiple years with Hester Ijams, a sister of his brother's wife. They had three children together, John (who died young), Anne and Elizabeth. In 1705, with his wife's permission, he gave his "mistress" 233 acres called "Burgess Choice" for her support and the support of his children by her and any others she might have in the future.

John married Elizabeth JONES. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He moved to Queen Anne's Parish in Prince George Co., MD about Sep. of 1700 when he made land purchases there. His property that he gained over the years was on the border of Prince George's and Frederick Co., MD. There is a Samuel Farmer that was born in Maryland in 1660 that he could descend from. This line is well developed in the Ancestry Public Member Trees but without supporting evidence. It goes back through Lincolnshire and then Leicestershire, England. Some theorize that he is the son of Thomas and Ann Roome Farmer of Virginia who descends from the original Thomas Farmer (who came to the Jamestown area in 1616 from the Aylesbury region of England). However, I feel this is unlikely as YDNA studies have shown a great diversity in the ancestry of the Farmer families. I have also not seen any of the original Thomas's descendants migrate to Maryland in these branches. I and my mother have a cousin match with the brother to Janice Johnston on Chromosome 7, starting with 164003 for about 8 cM's with our only common surname being Farmer. According to her, 2 of the cM's in this segment come from a native American whom has yet to be determined.

Samuel married Sarah DUVALL. Sarah (daughter of John Jean DUVALL and Elizabeth JONES) was born in 1689 in Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's, MD; was christened on 27 Mar 1706 in Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's, MD; died in 1764 in , Frederick, MD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She died in 1764 according to Judge Duvall, shortly after she and her son, Samuel, deeded property to her son-in-law, Edward Crow on Nov. 21, 1764.

Notes:

He was Justice and County commissioner for Anne Arundel Co., MD from 1726 to 1734. He held the title of High Sheriff Nov. 1732 to June of 1733. This was the most powerful position in the land at the time. He was in a large iron shipping business with his cousin, Richard Snowden. They jointly owned the property, "Snowden and Welsh". He also purchased "Duvall's Range" in 1728 from Hezekiah Clark.

In his will written on Feb. 4, 1733, and probated a month later, he is listed of Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. In it he names son John whom he gives his dwelling plantation, the "Arnold Grey", "The Neglect" and "Addition to Arnold Gray" when he reaches age 18; sons Thomas and Benjamin received "The Defiance of Williams and Clark" and "Bacon Hall" in Prince George Co., Maryland; daughter Rachel the "War of Pinnify" and personal items for when she marries or reaches age 16; to son Henry O'Neale "Welsh's Discovery" in Prince George Co., MD; to his unborn child if a son, rest of "Welsh's Discovery", otherwise it goes to son Henry O'Neale; Personal estate to sons Tomas, Benjamin, Henry, and daughters Elizabeth and Comfort when the boys reach 18 and the girls reach 16; William Davis was to receive "William's Delight"; daughters Ann Hammond, Sophia Hall and Sarah Warfield (all married) were to receive 5 shillings each; brother Robert was to receive personal effects. His executors were wife Rachel, brother Robert and cousin Richard Snowden. "Snowden and Welsh" and "John and Thomas" properties were to be sold and the proceeds go into the personal estate. Witnesses were Dr. Richard Hill (Quaker), Hezekiah Clark, Lewis Duvall and William Fish.

John married Rachel in 1715. Rachel died after 1733. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He lived at Elk Ridge as an adult and was a large planter by trade. In 1733, he was commissioned to purchased the land on Elk Ridge for the purpose of laying out the town of the same name.

In it, he names wife, Ann; daughter Hannah, the wife of John Welsh; son John; daughters, Hammutal and Rachel; son in law Henry Griffith; Sarah Ann Dorsey, daughter of Vachel Dorsey; brother Philip Hammond, William Jeans; daughter Ruth Griffith, and son Charles Hammond. The specific parcels of land he gave away were "Hammond" to son John, his dwelling place to son Charles after his mother's death, and "The Marsh", "Johns Chance" and "Old Mans Folle" to his brother, Philip. His executors were his wife and his son in law Henry Griffith. It was probated on Nov. 12, 1753.
