Note:
Often, when land went back to his Lordship, it did so for want of heir.
(Kilty: Land-holder's Assistant, Page 173-177), as it could do and did do in
feudal England. In the Thimbleby case, Mary Browne became the substantial
owner of a hundred and fifty acres of Potomac River land, under the will of
John Thimbleby, one of the original grantees. Next, Mary married Thomas
Kertley. Next, she had a son, William. Then she died. Then William died.
The property came to William from his mother; it should have gone back to
his mother, since William died without issue (Coke on Littleton, Page 13). But
Mary, his mother, had died first and the fief was vacant. Thomas Kertley
wanted to be the new tenant. The Proprietary issued a mandamus to two
commissioners to determine who were the heirs of John Thimbleby and how
much the property was worth. By their inquisition, they found out the value
of the land and did not say who the heir was. The Provincial Court read and
heard the inquisition, and judged "that the One hundred & fifty acres of
la[nd] . . . is Escheated unto his Lordpp the Lord Proprietary for want of
heyre." But the escheat did not mean that the land stayed in the possession
of the Proprietary, for the tenant Kertley got a grant for it in his own name.
It was probably a petition from him that led to the mandamus, and he, as the
discoverer of the escheat, would be preferred if he then applied for a warrant
of resurvey (Kilty, Page 174). That he did so apply is shown in the St. Mary's
County rent roll (p. 25): "Honest Tom's Inheretance, surveyed . . . for
John Thimbelby and William Brown . . . and was after granted to Tho:
Kirtley." So Thomas Kertley obtained the land, in his own name (post,

The above reference to Sarah and Anne 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. !NOTE:Note: Will of Samuel FERSON; Next of kin:
Perseful FERSON, Grace SNOWMAN. Admr. Jane FERSON

Conflict with notes of William Cowden SHAW of Maury Co.,
Tennessee. He records the mother of Anne SHAW (Sarah in his
files) as being a WILDER. References I found to a Mary WILDER
was in the will of Penelope BROWN, widow of John, Deed of Gift
signed 3 Oct 1745 to her dau. Diana WILDER, wife of John WILDER
Jr., and with consent of her dau. Mary BROWN, a tract called
BERGEN AP ZOEN and will of Francis WILDER dated 10 Apr 1705.
Both are too late to be the same Mary as WCS credits as being a
WILDER.
