Walter Coomes & Thomas Wharton Coomes vs. Richard Woodward
23 March-20 May 1773
Christian Milford bounds of a tract of land called Christian Milford, Durham
parish, Chas Co. - Thomas Wharton Coomes and Walter, his brother,
contending to fix their beginning of the resurvey on Christian Milford at a
small stone in an extensive level old Fields near the line of Warren Dent's
land which was proved by Thomas Perry at a commission executed on the
premises the 28th day of May 1771 and Richard Woodward contending to
establish the beginning of said resurvey at a large stone standing by Dr.
Brown's gate proved by John Barker and which controversy they have agreed to
refer to Francis Ware and Wm. Smallwood, both chosen and appointed
arbitrators by the parties, ......decided no estimoney to establish the
correct boundary of original tract called Christian Milford, now does it
appear from anything which has been exhibited to us that there is any
authentic testimony which will clearly establish the beginning of the
resurvey; at other than the final, or large stone, above mentioned as will
more fully appear by referring to the depositions taken on land commission
granted unto the above said Coomes and executed 24 May 1771, ald granted to
Rch Woodward 28 April 1772. -- the said Coomes should make the beginning at
the large stone in as much as they would run less into those surveys which
were made some little time before and afer their resurvey as the presumption
will lye that a much better knowledge of the boundary and courses of the
resurvey was to be had at that time They would include in their survey from
the large stone a parcel of land lately taken up as Nancanry (Nancancy?) by a
certain William Winter, Jr. whereon their ancestors and they have had a
plantation and the land tended and occupied by their tenants for many years
nor do we find that their title to that part of the land which the abovesaid
Winters took up was ever contested til the present Coomes disclaimed and
attempted to place the beginning of the resurvey at the small stone ...no
damages. ..

Generation No. 8
128. Richard Coomes I, born 1653 in Stratford, Warwick, England; died 1752 in Charles County, Maryland. He married 129. Anne Shercliffe.
129. Anne Shercliffe, born 1655. She was the daughter of 258. William Shercliffe and 259. Mildred Thompson Wheeler.
Notes for Richard Coomes I:
The name Coomes originated in Wales. Coomes is Welsh for little valley. The Coomes crest bears the legend: HE WHO STRIVES WILL CONQUER. They fought with William the Conqueror and were awarded lands in England. The Coomes family in England were in Old Stratford, Warrick County. Coomes Abbey still stands and is still inhabited by persons of the same name.
The first Coomes to come to Maryland were Catholic. In England, at this time, they could not hold office. They were recruited by Cecil Calver, Lord of Baltimore, to settle the new land. Cecil had married the daughter of the Earl of Arundel, a powerful Catholic. Cecil stayed in England to protect the interest of the new colony. His brother, Leonard, was put in charge of the 200 colonists. The colonists were to sail on the Ark and her sister ship, the Dove. As Catholics, the colonists could not take the oath of supremacy and this was a requirement by the Crown of all colonists leaving England. Therefore, in order not to embarrass Lord Baltimore, they waited on the Isle of Wight, and boarded there when the ships cleared London harbor. Several of the Coomes colonists settled in Maryland when the ships arrived in 1634.
Richard Coomes was one of these colonists. Richard was transported to the colonies by Edward Cooke in 1676. He settled in Charles County, Maryland, on a plantation he acquired called Christian Temple Manor, located on the Mattawoman Creek, and was involved in several business transactions in this area of the state. In a chancery proceeding concerning his property, Richard Coombes gave his age as 74, on June 24, 1727.
It is not uncommon when discussing the history of this family to identify roots in Charles County, Maryland. It is indeed unfortunate that many of Maryland's records have been destroyed; however, pages 89 & 70 of Maria Louisa Kelley's and Inez Bateman Cherault's Hamilton Family of Charles County Maryland provide important data on our Coomes roots. Note the frequency at which names common in Kentucky reappear in this early Coomes history:
"The seat of the Coombs family in England was in old Stratford, Warrick County. Coombs Abbey still remains and is inhabited by some of the family of that name." The will of John A. Coombs was probated (there) January 28, 1812. In this will he leaves five pounds to his friend, William Shakespeare, and mentions his ancient acquaintance and trusted friend, Mr John Washington. Descendants of this family came to America very early.
"Enoch Coombs and wife, Barbary, with son Enoch, settled in Maryland, 1684, as shown in Early Settlers, Liber 7, pg 551. The family was numerous in both Saint Mary's and Charles Counties, Maryland, and intermarried with the best colonial families.
"Richard Coombs I settled in Charles County, Maryland, in 1676. He was transplanted by Ed. Cooke, various depositions give his birth from 1652 to 1660. He was born about 1665. He had various business transactions 1714 to 1743. He md Anne Shercliff, dau of William Shercliffe and Mildred Thompson, widow Wheeler. He died without leaving a will in 1752, at nearly a hundred years of age. His inventory, Inv #33, pg 48, mentions kin: son Ridhard II, John Clement Coombs, friend Dennis Doheny.
"Richard II married Winifred Green, daughter of Leonard Green, son of Governor Thomas Greend and wife, Winifred. The will of Leonard Green of Saint Mary's County dated January 10, 1687, probated July 4 1688, leaves to wife Ann, "Green's Rest", during her life. To son, Thomas, and heirs, said plantation at death of his mother. Also 200 acres at Pangaish, Charles County, being part of "Green's Inheritance". To eldest daughter Winifred, and heirs, 200 acres, part of "Green's Inheritance". To daughter Margaret (md Jos Alvey) 200 acres, part of said tract. Maryland Rent Rolls, Charles and St Mary's Counties, page 30E, Annapolis, Maryland.
"Green's Inheritance surveyed January 8, 1666, for Leonard, Robert, and Francis Green. Possession 800 acres Francis Green; 800 acres, Edward Clements; Robert Green 200 acres; Francis Wheeler 200 acres; Thomas Green, son of Leonard, 200 acres; Richard Coombs 200 acres, Jos. Alvey, 200 acres.
"Richard Coombs left the following heirs: Thomas Coombs, Jane Coombs, Sarah Coombs, Leonard Coombs, Eleanor Coombs.
"In 1719 "Coombs Purchase", 100 acres, was surveyed for Thomas Coombs. Thomas Coombs married Elizabeth Wharton. His will was proven January 19, 1753, and mentions son Thomas Wharton, to whom he wills "Coombs Purchase"; son Walter, part of "Green's Inheritance"; son Bennet, "all my whole and sole right to a part of land called "Green's Inheritance".
"Four younger sons, Joseph, William, Francis, Ignatius, and Walter when they become 18, wife Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth , wife of Thomas, died 1772. In addition to the children above mentioned, mentions her daughter Mary Ann Hamilton, wife of James, Ann Smith, Anastasia Hamilton, wife of Joseph.
