MEMORIAL PHOTOS 0 FLOWERS 2 Mareen Duvall was born October 24, 1687, at "Middle Plantation," South River Hundred, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He was the son of Mareen and Frances Stockett Duvall. He accompanied his father, after 1703, to Prince Georges County, where he is found among the tithables in 1719 and 1733. His wife was Sarah Griffith. She was his senior by a few years. Mareen and Sarah were married about 1710, presumably in Prince Georges County, as the births of three children are registered in Queen Anne's Parish in that County.

On April 15, 1738, and December 3, 1741, this Mareen Duvall, now called Mareen Senior, of Prince Georges County, Planter, by deed of gift conveyed 115 acres of a resurvey to his son Benjamin, as follows:

Mareen Duvall Sr., Prince Georges County, Planter "being the lawful heir of my father Mareen Duvall and Frances his wife & Entitled to a portion of a tract called or known by the name of Vale of Benjamin, after the death of my said father & mother, by a certain deed from my said Father and mother about 13 August 1701 unto John Barrott late of the County, Gent., in trust for me I became possessed of the said tract of land before the death of my father and mother under certain meets and bounds with the liberty to include the Surplus land containing within the said meets and bounds by a resurvey on 3 May 1734. I the said Mareen Duvall Sr. did include 115 acres of surplus land called by the name of Poplar Ridge . . . now Mareen Duvall for love and affections I have and do bear to my son Benjamin . . . all that 115 acres of land . . . but if my eldest son Mareen Duvall Jr. shall die without any issue by him lawfully to be gotten then shall fall to Benjamin. .

This was land that had belonged to his father, who might have lost it in bankruptcy. No further records of Mareen and Sarah his wife have been found. His estate was not formally settled, as no letters of administration were granted at his death nor an inventory filed with the Prerogative Court. It is thought that sometime soon after the second conveyance, Mareen Duvall died, apparently in Prince George’s County. The location of his grave is unknown.

GEDCOM Note

Wikipedia (as of 07252019): "Mareen Duvall (1625-1694)[1] was a French Huguenot and an early American settler. He was born Marin Duval, at Nantes, France in 1625 and arrived in the Province of Maryland on August 28, 1650. He eventually received a patent from the first proprietors of the Maryland Colony, the Calvert family for La Val, possibly named after his family's estate in the County of Laval. an independent county created in the 15th century. This property was on the south side the South River in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.[2] He became quite prosperous and his Middle Plantation in Davidsonville, Maryland and La Val were "as luxurious and courtly as any of the manors of the English gentry."[3] He died in 1694 and his third and final wife, Mary Stanton, administered his substantial estate.[2][4] Duvall had purchased sizeable tracts of land, including Catton, later known as Belair[5] as well as owning Middle Plantation in Davidsonville, Maryland. Combined, he owned several thousand acres in Anne Arundel and Prince George's Counties.[2] It is believed that the original house called Middle Plantation was located somewhere along Rutland Road. In 1705, his son, John Duvall and his wife Mary deeded land to Queen Anne Parish to construct St. Barnabas Church.[2] Mareen Duvall's widow, Mary went on to marry Colonel Henry Ridgley (1635-1710) and later after his death, Reverend Jacob Henderson.[5]... In genealogies, he is often called "The Emigrant" to distinguish him from several descendants also named Mareen Duvall.[6] His notable descendants include U.S. Presidents Harry S. Truman and Barack Obama, American Vice-President Dick Cheney,[6][7][8] Wallis Simpson (for whom Edward VIII gave up the throne), and actor Robert Duvall.[6] Other descendants include U.S. Associate Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Duvall, billionaire Warren Buffett, Confederate General Bradley Tyler Johnson,[9] and Confederate spy Betty Duvall.[10] References 1.
