I would like to add some information to your discussion of the Redmans in St. Mary's Co., MD.I lived in the Baltimore-Washington area, and during that time spent 2 days at the St. Mary's County Courthouse.
I found the following information:

October 5, 1736 Edmon Boling and John Williams, two of the subscribing witness to the foregoing will, being Duly and solomnily sworn on the holy Evangelist of Almighty God propose and say, that the said Testator, John Redman, sign the foregoing will, and heard him publish and declare the same to be the last will and Testament, that at the time of his so doing he was to the best of their apprehension of sound and disposing mind and memory and that they subscribed their Respective names as witness to the said will in the presence of the said Testator and at his Request, and that they now... (I did not copy the next page!)
My line descends through Aaron and Priscilla Redman Hoskins (actually Haskins).The will does not mention the wife of John Redman, so I assume she died sometime before the date on the will.Her name is unknown to me.
The name Redman has been handed down through the generations in my family.Aaron and Priscilla Haskins had a son James Haskins whose middle name may have been Redman (no proof of this) because James had a grandson who was named James Redman Haskins. Several others carried the Redman name as well.
Aaron and Priscilla Haskins moved to Brunswick Co., VA about 1758 when James was about 7 years old according to his Rev. War pension papers.Later generations moved to Granville Co., NC and Bedford Co., TN.
