William Pumphrey of Prince George's County, Maryland, and his descendants

About this book

From the author's announcement of the book: In January 1737/38 William "Pumfrey," a four-year-old orphan, was bound out by the Prince George's County Court to Samuel Waters, who was then living in the Patuxent Hundred section of the county. William and his wife, Elizabeth Kingsbury of Calvert County, Maryland, had ten children, and most of the descendants of their sons William, Jr., Samuel, James, Gabriel and John have been traced well into the 1900's. Except for Gabriel, who was an early settler of Breckinridge County, Kentucky, William and Elizabeth's sons and grandsons were residents of the Maryland counties of Prince George's and Montgomery, and of Washington, D.C. Today descendants are to be found also in northern Virginia and most other areas of the country. Some of the allied families included in the book are: Beall, Beckwith, Connell, Evans, Fowler, Heagy, Herndon, Hicks, Jarboe, Kingsbury, Richardson, Soper, Suit, Swann, Warner and Waters. This hard-cover volume of 158 pages has 64 profiles, a complete name index, and is fully annotated.
