Hello Mr. Cambridge,
Please see my Pribble GenForum posting on "Early Settlers of Fayette, Washington & Greene Cos, PA"
Added on Date: 11/28/08
Message Number: 312 & 313
I will look closer into the information you provide regarding the indentured Thomas Prebble/Pribble. I have been stumped with this surname in my Gen searching. The first emigrant in my particular Hawkins family branch went to Havre de Grace, Maryland in 1709 and evidently married Anne PREBLE (as it was written in many Gen-type postings I have seen). The furthest I could get on Anne was her father was THOMAS PREBLE and mother Mary Bucknel or Buchnell married 1688,and siblings Anne PREBLE b: 8 NOV 1689 in Swan Creek Twp., Harford Co., MD
Mary PREBLE b: 6 JUN 1695 in Musketa Creek, Harford Co., MD
John PREBLE b: 21 JUN 1697 in Musketa Creek, Harford Co., MD c: 12 JUL 1699 in St. Georges Parish, Harford Co., MD
Sarah PREBLE b: 12 AUG 1702 in Duck Creek, Harford Co., MD
Thomas PREBLE b: 21 JUL 1691 in Musketa Creek, Harford Co., MD
Eliabeth PREBLE b: 27 DEC 1699 in Duck Creek, Harford Co., MD

Colonial PREBLE searches turned up attempts to link these PREBLES to the ones in New England, namely the famous Plymouth Plantation Colony. However subsequent postings by PREBLE and TILDEN genealogy researchers pushed this back as invalid. (They tried to have Thomas the son of Abraham Preble, sea captain, and Judith Tilden, granddaughter of a Plymouth religious elder, which the Mayflower gen people said 'no way'.
So one of the postings listed Thomas' wife Mary's parents as Thomas BUCKNELL ?buchnell b: ABT 1637 in Harford, Maryland; d. June 28, 1719 in Baltimore County AND
Her Mother: Mary 'nee PREBBLE? pribble? b: ABT 1644 in Harford, Maryland.
'Mary nee Preeble' which seemed sorta cousin-ish to me, or a mix of the later Mary with her mother but I started looking into the alternate spellings today. And so found this forum, so this is my first stop on my new search. This also probably puts back my first ancestor on American soil back much further than first thought.
MY records at times are a mix of findings and corrections, and my source material gets lost in the piles of info I accumulate, but they say that Thomas was born July 27, 1662 St. George Parish, Harford Co. MD; Death: 28 JUN 1719 in Baltimore, Maryland. However this birth date may be based only on his indenture record, and birthplace on the wedding record. Many times when a record is missing some unknown person will put in only place they know of.
If indeed this Anne 'Preble' is the daughter of Thomas'Preble' that you are looking for, then suffice it to say she married very well, and her children and grandchildren were instrumental in funding and fighting the American Revolution. Her husband and her son participated in the Maryland colony and state Courts and Burgess' as well. And their prodigy are endless.
Ann married Robert John Hawkins born 1691 from Streatley of what many say is in Bedfordshire near Luton but I personally think its Berkshire near Reading because of the proximity to Chippenham. His father, Richard Hawkins born about 1648, was in Chippenham Wiltshire preceded by several other Hawkins' that were Burgesses and Sheriffs, drapers/tailors/clothiers. I have to confirm using church docs probably to be sure about Streatley. The Hawkins info I obtained from an online copy of a transcripted collection of Chippenham's civil records done in the 1800s, going back to the incorporation of the town. But thats about as far back as it goes there yet.
Did you see this forum post? Its ten years old.

"I have a (not great) copy of Thomas Pribble's Indenture to Robert Shanks of Middlesex Marriner. It was signed on 8/20/1684 when he was 21 years of age. He agreed to 4 years of service upon arrival in Maryland. The last name is spelled Pribble in the contract"
As I said, this is the start of a new search for me so I will post any here PREBLE/PREBBLE/PREEBLE/PRIBLE/PRIBBLE corrections or additional info I find to add or delete info!
(and I thought Hawkins had a lot of spellings)
Thanks for the tip!
Joan Hawkins
