Maryland Calender of Wills, Baldwin Volume II by Genealogical Publishing
Co., #30. Will of Thomas Parker date of Drawing of will, 17 July 1695, probate 2nd Sept. 1695. Information by Marjorie Metzger of Ozawkie, Kansas.
Thomas Parker's Will, dated 17 July 1695; probated 2 Sept. 1695 in the Prerogative Court, (Probate) Vol. 7, pp. 117-118. Hall of Records, Annapolis, Md., 21404. (see copy of will)
Eliza Parker, widow of Thomas, married after Thomas' death, (2) a man named SMITH of Langford Bay, Kent Co., MD. Her will probated 1714 in Kent Co., mentions a son Thomas Parker and daughter Mary SHEELE and son in law William SHEELE. This would confirm the name of the wife of William SHIELDS as mary and not as Jeanete as some records now show.
The death of William SHIELDS as mentioned in hte foregoing letter is also confusing. In VOl. 5, page 34, Maryland Wills, (Hall of Records, Annapolis, Md.) a will of Richard West, Kent Co., dated 22 June 1732 records:
To Wife mary, at her decease to be divided amonth the children of William SHIELDS, son, John and William. Should William SHIELDS prefer the aprt of plantation devised to brother, John, he is to have said dwelling plantation on condition that sd William make over a feasible right oto his borhter, John and Heirs, that part of land made over by testoator to William SHIELDS, son of William, deceased.
William Sr. would have deceased prior to 1732 when his widow, Mary, is listed in the will of Richard West as his "Beloved wife, Mary". William died intestate. Records also indicate that Mary SHIELDS married (2) Richard West.
