About Elizabeth Ijams

1658-1758 Charles County MD Families "The first 100 years": Wills, Court, Church, Land, Inventories & Accounts

Mentioned (First and Middle name) in the will of Richard "the Planter" Cheney. (This is a MIS-interpretation, there were explicitly THREE daughters: Elizabeth (NO middle name), MARY (NOT same person as Elizabeth) and Anne. It's the weirdo punctuation that confuses people - but THREE daughters is not TWO daughters no matter how you look at it.)

Includes early Northern Neck VA, records for counties bordering the Rappahannock & Potomac Rivers: The 1656-1692 Old Rappahannock County Deeds & Minutes were just added. These county records were selectively added, focusing on the North bank, but upsteam you will see now day Caroline and King George County records up to Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania county. Currently adding 1652-1714 Lancaster County records
