| **Caa - Compton, John Jr | 1722 - dead by 1722 | |
| **Caaa - Compton, Matthew (h/o Rachel?) | - | I assign this person as son of John Jr, since in the 1722 Charles Co deed, he ends up with 187 acres, which is exactly what John Sr (d. 1718) bequeathed, in acres, to John Jr. John Jr. died by 1722. John Jr was born, roughly, 1680, so John Jr's son Matthew is too young to be the father of Eleanor Compton Slye, who was born roughly 1710. |

| **Caaaa - Compton, Stephen | - | |
| **Caaaa - Compton, Stephen | 1784 will, Charles Co | mentions his sibs and his mother. |
| **Caaab - Compton, William | - | I am assigning William as a son of John Compton, because he seems to be the person who acquired part of Wilton, and that person had as a mother, Rachel. Against this assignment is that I don't see a William listed as a son of Mathew, although many of his kids are named. |
| **Caaab - Compton, William | 1736-7 - legatee, St. Mary's Co | Will of
William Thompson, St. Mary's County, Jan 10, 1736-7; Jun 20, 1740. To son Thomas, personalty during life, and at his death, to his grandson Henry.

To wife Ann .. at her death, to be divided between Ann and Mary, daughters of John Baker. Witnesses: Dorothy Leigh, Alexander Ross, and Will Reid. Maryland Calendar of Wills, v 8. p 100. |

| **Caaab - Compton, William | 1772 - living on John Slye land | Charles Co Deed of Gift. July 22, 1772 from John Slye of Charles County to Robert Slye of Charles Co (Robert being son of John), a tract of land called Tilney. bounded by land formerly laid out for John Pile called Wilton, but now in possession of William Compton, containing about 112 acres.

Middleton married, as her 2nd husband, Zachariah Compton. Zachariah and
Mary went to Culpeper Co, VA. Zachariah may have died in WV while visiting

| **Caaad - Compton, Mathew | - | |
| **Caaae - Compton, John | - | |
| **Caaaf - Compton, Alexander | - | |
| **Caaag - Compton, Edmund Howard | - | Edmund H. Compton had daughter Kitty, m. William Hill. I think William Hill's 1st wife (Kitty's mother) was a Wood who was in some way closely related to Henry Wood. |
| **Caaag - Compton, Edmund Howard | 1759 - born | |
| **Caaah - Compton, Susannah | - | |
| **Caaai - Compton, Margaret | - | |
| **Cab - Compton, Mathew (h/o Susannah) | - | To be the
father of Eleanor Slye, since she was born in, roughly, 1710, he was born
about 1680. The Mathew who married Rachel Howard, had a son, Edmund, b.
1759. Edmund and Eleanor Compton Slye cannot be siblings - born too far
apart. So, if Eleanor was not the child of Matthew and Rachel Howard
Compton, she could be the child of Mathew Compton (cooper) and wife
Susannah. I assign this person as the father of the William who got 93 acres in the 1722 Charles Co deed, since the 1718 will left exactly 93 acres to Matthew, son of John Sr, and the 1722 deed gives those 93 acres to William. Matthew of 93 acres is the right age to be Eleanor Compton Slye's father, but William cannot be her father. I postulate that Eleanor Slye is the sister of the William Slye who was surety for Philip. |
