Note:
Ignatius Sewell married Anne Hunton, daughter of Mordecai and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) Hunton. Anne Hunton's sister Elizabeth Hunton married Thomas Gosling, so that Thomas Gosling was actually Ignatius's brother-in-law as the two men married Hunton sisters. Anne and Elizabeth Hunton's other sister, Sarah, married widower Edward Wood about 1694 (she was not mother of Edward Wood's children), and after Wood's death, she married Charles Fowler.

I found some interesting connections here with my SUITE/KELLET "quest" & my COPSEY family.
----
First, the wife of Thomas GOSLING whose wife leaves legacy to Roger COPSEY of SMC MD in her will was surely Elizabeth HUNTON, SISTER of Anne HUNTON who married Ignatius SEWELL.
----
(Also listed)*Then, Francis HUTCHINS' (ALSO very close to this famiily too)wife Elizabeth (of Calvert Co.)who was a Quaker and sister of Henry LOWES'(Somerset Co MD) wife Esther LOWES (Mrs. Henry LOWES of SO CO MD & Mrs. Francis HUTCHINS of Calvert Co.'s maiden name may have been WATERS and they were both Quakers).
---
The relationship just mentioned is ***IMPORTANT in piecing the puzzle togehter because*** Henry LOWES is the one who was supposed to care for widow Eunice DENT KELLET's son Robert KELLET after she died in 1753 per her will. But unfortunately, I can find NO RECORD of this child Robert KELLET (what happened to him?)after 1753 other than mention that he owned property next to Henry LOWES in Somerset Co MD. Eunice also had a daughter named Elizabeth KELLET who married her cousin John DASHIELL. (Eunice was apparently raised by her DASHIELL grandparents in Somerset Co MD named Thomas DASHIELL & Elizabeth Mitchell)& her late husband Roger/Robert KELLET owned a vessel for transporting people that was known as "The Eunice".
---
Eunice DENT's husband Roger/Robert KELLET died Bet. 13 - 25 Nov 1748 in Somerset Co MD. They had land in Northampton Co VA at some point as well--or at least she did. I don't know how he connects to Christopher KELLET in your files, but not sure how as of today, but still digging!
---
Interstingly again-- Christopher KELLET, Sr. was married to a woman also named Mary SEWELL/SEWALL so all these people do connect somehow.
====
**Christopher KELLET, Sr's estate paid $ to someone for Mordecai SEWELL!!!! Also 2 payments (maybe more?) to this person: Henry LOW and wife (administratrix of John DARNALL).
---
**THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF INFO as it may mean that the man named Henry LOWES in Somerset Co. is "somehow" kin to Henry LOWE of SMC whose wife was Susanna Maria BENNETT whose mother was Henrietta Maria NEALE, d/o James NEALE.** Again-not sure exactly "How" but it is making sense.
----
I am still trying to figure how Anthony NEALE had part of "William's Folly" land from the WILLIAMS family to the ELLIS & Nathaniel SUITE family (Elizabeth WILLIAMS was Nathaniel SUITE, Sr.'s wife).
---
Question: How did Anthony NEALE get to own "Williams Folly" as he left it to his son in his will.*** Is he kin to Charles NEALE, JR. who married the SAME Anne SUITE who was born in 1751 and possibly d/o this Eunice DENT KELLET?
---
These are some circumstantial but strong reasons why I feel Eunice DENT KELLET is the probable "Eunice" who was said to be the mother of Anne SUITE (born in Dec 1751 according to a family Bible record that another researcher has== and possibly also the mother of Benjamin Suite who died 1810 in SMC.) We can see from will records that Roger COPSEY was very close to the GOSLING family in SMC. I also found another very early COPSEY (who died apprently without issue in Somerset Co MD) named William COPSEY who died before Bef. 06 Sep 1746 and also connects to a man named Nicholas FOUNTAIN. **This is important because this Wm. COPSEY left that FOUNTAIN/FOUNTAINE family a legacy when he died. This same Nichaolas FOUNTAIN name is found as a witness on the will of Joseph DENT who was father of Eunice DENT KELLET (see below)**:
-----------------------------------
DENT, Joseph 9-4-1718/2-17-1718
dau Eunice DENT,...Sister Sarah NOTTING, Richard NOTTING, Nathaniel BARKER, Littleton KENDALL son of William KELLET, cousin Richard NOTTING ,William KENDALL extr.
Witt: Arthur RASCOE, Jonathan SCOTT, Nicholas FOUNTAIN.

------
Eunice DENT KELLET died in 1753 in Somerset Co MD and was a widow and not remarried, but she has to be the Eunice who was mother of Anne SUIT/SUITE and possibly Benjamin SUIT/SUITE and I think the names Benjamin gave to 2 of his sons are clues (Joseph DENT SUIT & KELITA SUIT), but still digging for proof. I think Kelita may have been named Kellet and his marriage record apparently says Kellity but his grave Kelita. But it is close to Kellet so I am interested in investigating this.
---
Eunice DENT KELLET died in 1753 and was never married to Dent SUIT/SUITE but was possibly his cousin. No one seems to have linked the Thomas DENT and Joseph DENT of Northampton Co VA to the DENTS in Chas & SMC--but this is probably a connection. In the will of Joseph DENT's cousin, Thomas DENT (the tailor), he mentions an early Marmaduke DENT that I can find no record of. Interestingly, there is a later man named Marmaduke DENT in the same WV place as Joseph DENT SUITE in the early 1800's. Here is the will of Thomas DENT (the tailor) cousin of Joseph DENT (d. 1717) father of Eunice DENT KELLET & :
DENT, Thomas, tailor, Northampton Co., April 10, 1713, 15 May 1716. Cousin Joseph DENT, brother Marmaduke DENT, cousin Elizabeth MOODY and her sister Mary, daughters of James DENT, deceased. Joseph ASH; Bridget BRADFORD; cousin Joseph DENT, executor, witnesses: Arthur ROSCOE, Jonathan BELL, John DOLBY, Frances WAINHOUSE, Jr.

==============
Finally, notable is the will of Eunice DENT KELLET's uncle, John DASHIELL in 1734 that proves she is Eunice DENT and that she has a sister named Jean SCARBOROUGH. (Somehow related to Edmund's family in VA??):
John DASHIELL was s/o Thomas DASHIELL & wife Elizabeth (possibly MITCHELL??) & lived from 2-22-1710/1711 until Bet. 15 Feb 1734/35 - 01 Apr 1736 in SOMERSET CO MD.

Here is his will that proves Eunice is his niece:

------------------------
These people from Calvert Co, SMC & Somerset are all interrealated in the early days of MD to the mid 1700's and beyond in my opinion. My Suite grandmother's sister-in-law married Brooke Hutchins who has to be related to the early Francis Hutchins in Calvert Co. They lived in Calvert Co and she died in the 1970's.
-----
Question "if" Anne Suite and Benjamin Suite were adopted by Dent SUITE who was probably some cousin of Eunice DENT KELLET's, how would that have been handled back in those days? Perhaps they were baseborn & Dent SUITE was their biological father?? But I am trying to figure how Dent SUITE connects to Eunice KELLET and if Dent SUITE was really the biological father of Benjamin and Anne.
---
They connect to SEWELL and then I remembered Roger Copsey's unknown connection to Elizabeth and Thomas GOSLING and the COPSEY and SUITE family are close to this day in MD and Christopher's Kellet's wife was a Sewell & it is like a big jigsaw puzzle
