Individual Details
Anne Brown
(Abt 1670 - Aft 25 Dec 1734)
Notes:
My Davis dilema:
For many years I had assumed my ancestor, Ann Shaw was a Browne by birth but after considerable research and consideration I believe her to have been born a Davis daughter of Walter Davis and Mary ?Smoot? and am asking for a second opinion. Please read the following data and share your ideas or thoughts.
Ann Shaw was probably born about 1677-80 giving that her son, John Shaw was born circa 1698 and assumming she married at about age 18-21. (Maryland Deponents 1634-1799, Peden; page 166, Shaw, John, aet. 45 in 1743 , Charles County, xxxix, 663; aet. 45 in 1744, Ibid., xl, 223.)

Brown(e), Mary, widow, (nunc).
To son William, personalty.
To son in law Samuel Fierson, residue of estate in trust for son John and Francis.
Testatrix' daus. Sarah and Ann were the wives of John Shaw and Giles Tompkins, respectively. (Will: 11.199; ------; 21 Jan 1701) (Inv.: 21.369; 16 Feb 1701; -----;)
Legatees: Joseph Levin. Ex.: Samuell Farison. (Acct: 24.10 -----; 03 Mar 1702)
The above reference to Sarah and Ann being the wives of John Shaw and Giles Tompkins respectively must be an error in transcription as records show Giles Thompkins, son of Giles and Sarah Thompkins of Pickawaxen born 23 Nov 1692, (Ct. & Land P#1.211.)
