Notes


Family records can be found in Charles County, Maryland, which is across the river from Fairfax County, Virginia.


Bible pages, labeled only "Compton Bible" My father was very good about noting where he got something but in this case he didn't. They are hard to read but were written in the 1700's. Actually I think they're valuable to us because they support our conclusions. A sentence in these Bible pages leads me to believe someone was giving names of ancestors for someone who followed - "The above Matthew Compton and Susanna his wife were your Great Grandfather & Grandmother" The writing looks quite old and it may not have been a Bible but a Family Record.


Matthew Compton, Sr. died testate 1745, Charles Co. Son Samuel Compton that portion of the estate in Virginia in which he is in possession, and 2 shillings.
Daughter Susanna Whitely 2 shillings.
Daughter Elender Slye 2 Shillings.
Grandson Mathew Compton Parker 2 Shillings
Son Matthew residue of estate.


Signed by the testator on 19 March 1744/5 and proved in Charles County on September 5, 1747, by George Briscoe and William Howard. From the Harry Wright Newman Collection: Ref: Wills, Liber 25, folio 150, Hall of Records, Annapolis.


"Court records in Charles County, Maryland, just across the Potomac River from Fairfax County, Virginia, help identify Susanna Whitely's background. She was the daughter of Matthew and Susanna (Briscoe) Compton and the granddaughter of Philip and Susannah (Swan) Briscoe. In 1740 Matthew Compton named his daughter Susannah Whitely in his will.
The same year, Susannah Briscoe, widow of Philip, willed her "granddaughter Susannah Whitely a warming pan and to the remaining children of my daughter Susannah Compton one shilling each". Matthew Compton's will is in Will Book AC 4 page 235, and Susannah Briscoe's will in the same book on page 116. Other wills in these families tie the relationship together".


LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF MATTHEW COMPTON
dated March 19, 1744/45, proved 5 Sept 1747.


In the name of God, Amen. Matthew Compton, Senior of Charles County, in the province of Maryland being in good health and memory blessed be God but considering the frailty of this life and that all flesh must yield when God by death calls, do make this my last will and testament. In manner and form following publishing all other former wills by me made incomplete.


Item - I commit my soul to God that gave it to me for its future happiness through the merits of my Creator and merits of my Redeemer Jesus Christ my body after my decease. I commit to the earth till resurrection to be burried as my Executor hereafter to be named shall think fit and for what wordly goods God hath been pleased to intrust me with, after just debts and funeral charges being paid, I dispose of the same as followeth:


Item - I give and bequeath to my son Samuel Compton all that part of my Estate he is possessed with in Virginia and also 2 shillings sterling in bar that he shall not claim any other part of my Estate.


Item - I give and bequeath to my daughter Susanna Whitely 2 shilling sterling in bar that she shall not claim any other part of my Estate.


Item - I give and bequeath to my daughter Eleanor Slye 2 shillings, sterling in bar that she shall not claim any other part of my Estate.


Item - I give and bequeath to my grandson Matthew Compton Parker 2 shillings, sterling in bar that he shall not claim any other part of my Estate.


All the rest of my Estate both reall and personal both houses, lands, goods and chattels, I give and bequeath to my son Matthew Compton and his heirs forever whom I constitute, ordain and appoint to be the Executor of this my last will and testament.


In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 19th day of March, Anno Domni 1744/45. Signed sealed published and declared by Matthew Compton lent to be his last will and testament.


In presence of us.
Geo. Briscoe and
Wm. Howard.


On the back of the foregoing will was endorsed the following: To wit, Charles Co. on the fifth day of September 1747 came Geo Briscoe and William Howard, the subscribing witnesses to the written will and made oath on the Holy Evangelists that they saw Matthew Compton sign the written testament of writing and heard him publish and declare the same to be his last will and testament and that at the time of his so doing, he was to the best of their judgments of sound and disposing mind and memory.

Hi Sheila,
I am descended from a MS Compton--who supposedly came from MD. Stephen A. Compton, b. 1774,d.1843 in MS. I INTUIT that the Matthew Compton family is the family that Stephen came from, but have not been able to connect him to MD. One of these days! I've visited around Leonardville, MD and Compton , MD. it looks like the area where the Comptons settled in MS! There are some Compton descendents in LA, who came through MS around 1800. I think they are kin, too. Family given names are the same, just as in the Matthew Compton family. Even plantation names are the same! Maybe one of these days we will know that we truly are CUZINS.
