Would like additional information on John RAVEN of Dorchester Co., MD, who transported his wife Jane and daughters Mary, Jane and Susanna to MD by 1672. Mary was bequeathed personalty in the 1672 or 1673 will of Samuel SPICER of that county. John died after 4/20/1675 and before 4/4/1676. His widow m. Richard OWEN of Kent Co. by 10/6/1677. Was John the father, brother or other relation to William RAVEN of Dorset Co. who immigrated by 1673? (Dorset Co. was aka Dorset Parish, named after the Earl of Dorset; an early name of Dorchester Co.) On 3/3/1676 [1676/77?] William RAVEN [born before 1657?] and Richard Owen [his stepfather?] were listed as debtors in the inventory of the estate of William WORGIN/WORGAN of Dorchester Co.
Also, how was the aforesaid John RAVEN related to the one of the same name who had transported 16 persons to MD by 1679? In or about 1679 Thos. COURTNEY received an assignment of rights to 800 acres from John RAVEN. On page 781 of Maryland Early Settlers, Liber 15, part 2 (as transcribed by Annie Walker Burns in Maryland Genealogies & Historical Recorder, Vol. xii, p. 82), it states that John RAVEN proved right to 800 acres for transporting John BIRK, Wm. HOLLAND, James MACKCAMON, Edward BIRK, Bryan HOSEY, David MONEY, Jeremiah HORAH, Teague TRACY, James MACKLAVES, Francis HASSELL, Nicholas KILLE, Henry WILLIAMS, James MACKRAMEE, Mary MACRAGH, Elinor MACNANAH and Ann SMITH. (This may have been in Dorchester Co., considering that the preceding entry on page 780 is associated with that county.)
