General Notes:
George Collison evidently met Sarah Aldern at the St. Michaels Parish Church
where her mother owned several pews. They were married by the time of his
father's death in 1736, as his portion of REHOBETH and REHOBETH POINT was
designated as the "part on which he lives". Sometime following the sale of his
inheritance to his brother, Edward, he moved to Dorchester County (into that
portion which is now part of Caroline County). There are no deeds for the
acquisition of land in Dorchester which would indicate he was possibly a
shipbuilder or a timbercutter. His will entered into probate on the 13th of
AUgust 1770 and witnessed by William Lee and John FLEHARTY reads: "I George
Collinson, of Dorchester County, in the Province of Maryland, being of sound
and perfect mind and memory...that my beloved wife, Sarah, should be quietly
and peaceably possessed of all and singular my goods and chattels during her
widowhood and after her marriage or decease, all to be equally divided among
my children then living, viz., Richard Collison, Mary Caulk, Sarah, Rebeckah
and Elizabeth Collison...do appoint my beloved wife, Sarah, and my son,
Richard, executrix and executor...this 28th day of 1769, day of January in
year of our Lord." SIgned: George Collyson.
