Charles County Land Record Book O#3, 1765-1770; Page 499. Aug 11, 1768 from John Hamilton, William Hamilton (Hamelton), James Hamilton, and Patrick Hamelton of CC, planters, to Samuel Hamilton of CC, planter, for 6000 lbs of crop tobacco and for divers other good causes, part of a tract of land called Spye Park, lying on the south side of Pourtobacco Branch, bounded by William Coombs' land, Coombs Purchase, containing about 80 acres.

Sarah, Annastatia and Mary Anne, wives of sd John, William, and James, relinquished their rights of dower. Recorded Dec 3, 1768. Editors note: There is no punctuation in this sentence in the deed, so it is not possible to be sure how many wives acknowledged this deed. Perhaps due to transcription error, Patrick is not mentioned except once - he does not sign his name and his wife is not mentioned. We guess that 4 wives relinquished their dower rights, and one of them was the wife of Patrick.
