He was the earliest in the records available to Mrs. George
Nicholas Ni3-5, whose meticulous work in the author's matarnal grandmother's
ancestral quarter has been a great, massive and generally reliable platform for further research.
Here, however, her records seem to confuse this first Benjamin with his son of the same name, as both
died relatively young.
Benjamin migrated from Accomac County, Virginia to Somerset County, Maryland, and thence to .Anne Arundel County, Maryland. From the following data we may conclude that he was born in Accomac Co., Va., about 1640. Born: Under the assumption that his son Benjamin was born about 1640 in Accomac, Accomac Co., Virginia, his birth year has to be set before 1625 with a probability of about 1615. This makes it probable that he was born in Britain and immigrated to Accomac Co. Va. about 1635. Died: 1685 He was also of “The Deserts” in Calvert County, Maryland.
|
The probability that the great hurricane of 6th Sept. 1667 drove
his son to move to Maryland also makes this same date the probable date
of death of both Benjamin Sr. and his wife, since the death toll was very
high on the East Shore.
Those living_in_virginia_in_1623.htm shows a John Ascomb living on the the "Eastern Shore" in 1623 as well as a Goodman Ascomb living in James City and a widow Mary Ascombe and Abigail Ascombe living t at Chaplains Choise There were several Lawrences living in Gloucester England in the 15 90s |
