Notes for WILLIAM HUSBAND:
[033102.ged]
Landed in MD 1670 about age
20.
Attempts have been made by
researchers to claim William Husband b abt. 1750 was a son of Edward Husband a
surgeon of Calvert Co., MD who acquired a 1700 acre tract of land on the
Sassafras River in the Eastern Shore of MD.
Edward was forced out of Calvert County and forbidden to practice there
because of threats he made to the Assembly over affairs of religion. Edward's will clearly shows his son William
could not have been the William b abt 1750.
Since both families were on the
Sassafras River at an early date there is probably a family relationship but as
of now it is obscure.
Early Settlers of MD;
Skodas; contains the first mentions found of William HUSBAND- Liber. 17, Folio 589 -"Feb the 2nd,
1673 Came William Husbands of St. maries County and proved Rights to fifty

Church, daughter of HARMON KANKEY and MARGERY HERMEN. She was born
1704 in Cecil Co, MD, and died 1767 in Cecil, MD.
Notes for JR WILLIAM HUSBAND:
[033102.ged]
William was a farmer and
owned an iron works and a sawmill near Earlville, MD. William and Mary lived on the William Sr. estate in MD until it
was divided in 1740. They then moved to
North East, MD to the north side of
Octoraro Creek, two miles Conowingo, east side of the Susquehanna River, on the
main road from Rock Run to Lancaster, PA.
At this site they erected a brick homestead which only recently (1960's)
was reported to be in a good state of preservation. They had over 1700 acres of land.
The Baltimore Sun article
contained the following information about William II: "William Husband II, the elder, resided in Cecil County and
must have come in for a portion of land, including the "iron works"
which his father willed should be equally divided between his sons William II
and Thomas. The records of St. Stephens
Parish state that on 20 May 1720, William Husband was married by the Rev.
Richard Sewell to Mary Kinkey, daughter of Heman and Marjorie Kinkey. This statement is at a variance with a
tradition current among the descendants of William Husband II, which is to the
effect that he married a daughter of Augustine Herman. This tradition has been carried down and
continues among families descended from William Husbands, the members of which
in the present generation are but remotely related to each other. Nevertheless,
some William Husband married Mary Kinkey in 1720. In 1717, when the will of William Husband I was made, William
Husband II the son, was a minor as appears in the will. He must have married as soon as he became of
age."
William and Mary built a
house near Conowingo in the year 1740. Land deeds on record in Baltimore Co.
Book 5 R.No.D. page 19 dated 7th Aug. 1750, Between John Durbin of Baltimore

still standing and is located just off State Route 222 and Ragan Road on the
way to Lancaster, PA. For more information please write to Larry Husband 6171
Mulberry Rd. SE Newark, Ohio 43056. He is related to William Husband and will

Another land record was in

William Husband of said County of Baltimore for 26 pounds of money sells land
called Elberton in Baltimore Co. north side of Deer Creek to William Husband on
23 Jul 1755. This is the land William and Susanna (Husband) Bagley lived on.

William Husband Jr's estate
file inventory of property, "Mount Pleasant" Cecil Co., near Octorara
River and Conowingo Creek, on the main road for Rock Run Maryland to Lancaster
Pennsylvania, this estate received from his father-in-law Herman Kinkey. This
610 acre tract was also called "Leavill" and "Bohemia
Manor" at which location a brick house was erected in 1740 which after
more than 200 years is reported in good state of preservation.
A clipping from the Cecil
Democrat, Dec. 17, 1881 mentions a slate in the wall of a house near a spring
on the road from Lancaster to Port Deposit, where LaFayette quenched his thirst
on his march through. The slate was set
in the wall of a mansion near the eaves and this was on it- W H ( meaning the house was built by William
Husband whose wife's name "M"
was Mary and was built in the year 1740.)
1740 - The List of Taxables
in Octorara Hundred in 1766, Cecil County, MD mentions William Husband and 7
negroes and Joseph Husband.
William's will dated 22 Jan
1767 was found in the Maryland State Archives, Annapolis, MD- Cecil County Register of Wills BB #2, pp
