Anthony Holland will, mentions Isabella, daughter of Thomas-

Anthony Holland (1641 - 1702)

Anthony Holland came into Ann Arundel County in 1650 and his transport was claimed by William Burgess, who was one of the movers and shakers of the early times and had brought a number of Quakers up from Virginia, which is apparently where Anthony Holland and Richard Gott(1) lived before Maryland. Burgess had a number of ships and it is possible Anthony Holland may have been a worker on one of them or he may have been a younger, perhaps orphaned member of the Quaker group who came from Virginia but did not pay his way. (From Rebecca GarretPatterson)

Anthony Holland made his will on February 12, 1702, and it was proved on August 2, 1703. He died a wealthy man with a personal estateamounting to 290.5.3 (pounds), plus 996 acres of land including 580 entailed acreas of "Holland's Choice", lying in Baltimore County.(Per Allnutt, from "Wills, 1703, 11/362-267, Maryland State Archives,Testamentary Papers, 1719, Box 25, folder 30.

Richard Gott of Baltimore County, Richard Holland of Prince George's County and Jacob Holland petitioned the General Assembly on June 21,1747, to have the entail docked on "Holland's Choice". Although Anthony Holland had stated in his will the "Holland's Choice" lay in Baltimore County, the Act of Assembly cutting the entail stated it was in Anne Arundel County. Jacob Holland owned 360 Acres of it and"being through misfortunes reduced to the necessity of selling...and conveying an estate in fee simple" prayed to be free of the entail (Archives of Maryland, XLVI pp290-291 and pp 326-328)

According to Dallam's "St. James Parish" pp 131-132, Anthony Holland left in servitude one particular servant, Katherin Worley with her mulatto child, conceived out of wedlock, whose punishment of servitude was sold to Holland by the minister and Vestry of St. James' Parish on April 25, 1699.

According to the Allnutt essay, William Burgess had transported Anthony Holland into the Province in 1650. Anthony served an indentureship of four to seven years to person (s) unknown and on 14December 1672 claimed 50 acres of land for his time of service as was the custom. In forty two years of life in Anne Arundel County, Anthony Holland had prospered well. (see Maryland Patent Liber - hereaftercited as MPL - Q/32.

Anthony Holland, a Puritan, probably became a Quaker, though not a nearly one, perhaps being converted following George Fox's 1672 visits to the county. He appointed his "well beloved friends" (all Quakers) Benajmin Capell, Mordecai Price, William Richardson and Samuel Galloway, "executors of his will to "doe take upon the full Execution of this My Last Will and Testament and take under their care and Management my Youngest children and their Estates" (Of the fourexecutors, Benjamin Capell was the closest relative. Capell had wed the widow of Thomas Parsons, Isabella (?) Parsons and thus was Anthony Holland's step Father-in-Law and step grandfather of the six children by Anthony's second wife, Isabel (Parsons) Holland. Capell had no children of his own and both Richard Gott and Anthony Holland named sons after him, i.e. Capell Gott and Capell Holland. Capell duly noted his namesakes in his will (see wills, 10 May 1711, 13/333-336, MSA).
