Elizabeth Welborn

all research leads to neo- Welborn; Elizabeth's surname was nee- (Mitchell) Stookes. I don't know where 'someone' intimates deMoss or whatever -- no proof of that.

=====================

In 1712 Edward Welborn married Elizabeth Mitchell, a widow, who was born in Baltimore. One source says Elizabeth’s parents were from Connecticut and another that she had a son Thomas Mitchell. Edward and Elizabeth had two daughters, Elizabeth and Ann, and two sons, William and Thomas. In his will, dated 23 Jan 1731, Edward bequeathed 50 acres of land to his wife and at her decease, to his daughter Ann, and the remaining part of his land to William, together with his blacksmith tools. He bequeathed to Thomas a one year old steer. Both Edward and Elizabeth died in 1731 in Baltimore.

Edward Wellbourne married Elizabeth ___, widow of a Mitchell; she'd had one known child, Thomas Mitchell, by her first husband. (This relationship is proven by a document in which the administration of the estate is relinquished by Elizabeth to "her sons Thomas Welborn and Thomas Mitchell;" and this Thomas Mitchell is usually identified as the Thomas Mitchell who married Ann Teague, about whom more below.)

The problem is, the dates don't add up; or else I'm not seeing something clearly here. The Thomas Mitchell who m. Ann Teague, who is supposedly Elizabeth's son, was in Harford County by 1700 (by his own statement); this is confirmed by the fact that he's on the tax lists for Spesutia Hundred in 1703. He is on record as having stated his age in 1730 (he said he was 46), allowing us to calculate his birth year as 1684. Therefore, in 1700, the year he came to Harford Co., he was 16 years old and presumably was accompanied by his parents (or his mother, if she was already a widow).

I'm looking for any clues to the parents or origins of Thomas Mitchell, b. ca. 1684, d. 1747 in Baltimore Co. MD, m. Ann Teague. In Robert Barnes' book "Baltimore County Families," he states that in 1730 Thomas Mitchell stated his age as 46 and said that he had lived in Baltimore Co. for 30 years.He first shows up on the tax rolls in Spesutia Hundred, Baltimore Co., in 1703. I know that his mother was Elizabeth ___ who remarried to Edward Wilbourne. If anyone has any information about Thomas' origins, I'd be glad to find out about it.I have a lot of information on his descendants which I'm happy to share.
