Herman Fowke

Notes

"... Richard Gorsuch appears to have married prior to May 13, 1661, probably before coming to Maryland. The surname of his wife Elizabeth is not known. It would appear that there may be a relationship between her and Henry Parnam who deeded his property to Richard Gorsuch in 1671. It is also possible that there may have been a connection between her and Edward Roe who left legacies to the Gorsuch children. It is known from the petition of March 12, 1682 that she married secondly Samuel Hatton of Talbot County..... Samuel Hatton probably died in 1687-8 as his estate was administered upon by Elizabeth Hatton Mar. 8, 1687-8 (Test. Proc. 9, 474). Whether Samuel and Elizabeth Hatton had issue is not known. The widow married very promptly a third husband, as Herman ffoakes and Elizabeth his wife soon afterwards file an account (Test. Proc. 10, 184)."
