"Ancestrees"

Lewis DUVALL ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

His home was at "Wilson's Grove", which he inherited from his grandfather though his father. This was his home until 1737 when an act by Assemby occurred involving his inherited lands. He then sold this land on Oct. 17, 1737 to William Peele. He is listed as having many small children at the time. Only four of them have been discerned to date.

He is likely the Captain Lewis Duvall listed in "Settlers of Maryland, 1731-1750." He purchased 100 acres of land named "Addition" and 50 more acres called "Pretty Land" on Jun 10, 1734, both in Anne Arundel Co., MD. He made additional purchases on Nov 3, 1737 of 50 acres called "Little Worth" in the same county.

He ended up moving to Frederick Co., MD where he was the purchaser of the following lands: "Beginning" of 29 acres on Nov 27, 1752 in Frederick Co., MD, "Griffin's Chance" of 60 acres on Aug 11, 1753; 265 acres of "Griffin's Chance" in Frederick Co., on Dec 31 1754 and "That's All", 32 acres in Frederick Co. on Mar 11, 1756.

In 1759, Lewis gave surety for Elizabeth Ridgeley of Anne Arundel Co. who was the executrix for the estate of William Ridgely. She was the mother-in-law to Lewis's son, Aquilla Duvall.

He and possibly some of his sons are thought to have removed to Pennsylvania. ^{1 4}

Lewis married Eleanor FARMER, daughter of Samuel FARMER and Unknown.
