Note:This parentage is not proven...... parentage not proven some say John Briscoe & Elizabeth DeCourcey 2. History:From this digression of persons, it were well to return to a more orderly relation of the events in which Cresap was concerned in various capacities. In the year 1749, the British government chartered a group of gentlemen who had associated themselves for the purpose of exploring and settling a portion of that vast territory called, because of the name of the river which drained it, the "Ohio country." They were given a grant of five hundred thousand acres of land on the Ohio between the Monongahela and the Kanawha Rivers, of which number two hundred thousand were to be settled immediately. The grant was made free from quit rent or tax to the Crown on the condition that one hundred families were settled there within seven years. This was the celebrated Ohio Company,26 and Thomas Lee, Lawrence and Augustine Washington, Thomas Cresap, George Mason, John Mercer, Robert Dinwiddie and others of equal eminence in Maryland and Virginia were its proprietors. They set to work immediately to carry into effect the purposes for which they were incorporated. Gist was sent on his memorable journey of exploration into the vaguely known region; a store-house, afterwards Fort Cumberland, now the second city in Maryland, was built at Wills Creek; and Cresap was ordered to mark and clear a road from this point to the spot where Redstone Creek empties into the Monongahela, the present site of Brownsville, where another trading post and store-house known as Redstone Old Fort was constructed in 1752. The threatened French War discouraged a steady settlement of the lands, but the fact that a visitor to Cresap's house at Old Town in 1754 found him away from home visiting the Company's settlers on the Ohio, is evidence that the activities of this organization were the point of the wedge that entered the wilderness and laid it open to the inrush of emigrants which occurred in the years following the Revolution. After the close of the war with France, the Ohio Company was merged with one formed in London by Thomas Walpole, called the Grand Company, but as the majority of the proprietors of the elder concern did not approve of the change a contest arose between the two which might have remained unsettled to this day save for the War of Independence, which put an end to both organizations and the private exploitation of the domain which they controlled. It were foolish to applaud the incorporators of the Ohio Company as disinterested patriots intent on extending the bounds of the British dominions. That is not how such things are done. The westward star of empire follows the path of individual self interest, but now and then an individual builds larger than he knows, and is fortunate in being able to serve his own interests and the common weal at the same time. The adventurers of the Ohio Company were of this sort, and we cannot but feel that, land speculators as they were, they yet had a vision of a greater eventuation in that western country than was measured by the material profits which they hoped to obtain from the enterprise. The achievement of Cresap's life which has been remembered most universally by historians of various sorts is one which must have commended itself to him and his associates in the Ohio Company as a measure of great importance in the prosecution of their plans for the future. I mean the opening of the road, sixty miles in length, from the mouth of Wills Creek across the Laurel Mountains to the junction of Redstone Creek with the Monongahela,27 a road whereby was formed a means of passage between the Potomac and the Ohio, the settled country of the eastern seaboard and the vast, as yet only dimly realized region of the west, and a road which was to become more important and more deeply saturated with historic interest with every year that passed, and finally as the National Pike to take rank among the famous highways of the world. To Thomas Cresap and his friend, the Indian Nemacolin, falls the honor of having first blazed this trail and removed some of its most difficult obstructions, for as far as can be learned they did no more than this at the time of which we are speaking. Nemacolin seems to have had in charge the physical labor of the road-making, while Cresap acted as surveyor and overseer. This was in 1749 or 1750, and the story of that road from then until the present day forms an entrancing chapter in the history of the country's development.28 Gist's Trace, Nemacolin's Path, Washington's Road, Braddock's Road, the National Pike--these are some of the names which it has borne at different times, and it is scarcely necessary to adduce more evidence than these names give of its tremendous importance in the political and economic history of the United States. If Waterloo was won on the football fields of England, the American Revolution was fought on the narrow path which Cresap and Nemacolin cleared through the wilderness, for here 3.

Note: (61)Walter settled in Mason Co., KY. If this is true it is not Walter m. Elizabeth Compton...... "This is from the history of Clark Co, IL, published in 1883 given by my uncle John Briscoe (writer is Mrs Rhoda Whitehorn) "Henry Briscoe, who was born in Feb 1762, in Queen Ann Co, MD and was a soldier in the Rev. War etc. His parents were Philip Briscoe whose wife was a Foster and who bore him nine children: William, Robert, George, Primmenus, Walter, Philip, Herny, Katie, Sarah. William Settled in Madison Co., Kentucky, Robert in Bullitt county; George in what is now Hopkins County ; Primmenus settled in Bourbon Co., Walter in Mason County. The father of the above came to KY at a very early date, but never settled being of a rambling turn of mind, and died in Maryland, near Ft Tobacco. Phillip never came west to locate. Katie mar'd James Summerhill and settled in Jefferson Co, KY and there died at an old age. She raised one son Robert who married Lula who died on the same farm at an advanced age. Sarah settled in Maryland. She mar'd a man named Swan and by him raised a large family , all of whom settled there excapt Philip Swan who removed to Jefferson Co., KY, and there died, and raised a family of several children. Henry Briscoe the father of our subject (my great uncle John B) was twice married, first to a Miss Lattimore, daughter of Judge Lattimore, of a prominent family inn MD. After his marriage he removed to Jefferson Co., KY, in 1779 and engaged in farming. His wife died on the route where Cincinnati now stands, ____ Had large family by his first wife all of whom settle in that county, except Nancy who married Burk Jones and settled in Clark Co. IND. Henry Bricoe in 1803 married Catherine Bookhart, who was born near Boonesboro, Va a dau of Jacob bookhart and Catherine Keller, both of German Extration. Henry Briscoe imigrated from Jefferson Co KY, in the fall of 1835 , landing in what is not Westfield township , Oct 76? and located on 120 acres. Here the parents (Henry & Catherine) died and were buried on the farm. Hern Briscoe died in Oct 1838, his wife in Sept 1836. He raised a family of 11 children, Viz: Joseph,, Sophia, Robert, Jacob, Rhoda, Hester, John B, Walter, Lydia, William T, and Allan B, all of whom lived to be married and raised families. Mrs Whitehorn goes on to say, that their tradition is that the above Philip (father of Henry ) was grandson of Col Philip Briscoe and was son of either Philip Jr or Edward. (The later we know to be impossiable, Dr Ried) Mrs W goes on to say Philip (Henry's father) had a son George and Henry had a son George, both of whom were named George Cole, also Henry had a grandson George Cole, who tells me he was named after his uncle George Cole. Sarah Briscoe married a man named Swan. Their son Philip Swan was father of Wm Morris Swan who married Rhoda Briscoe. They were my grandparents 5.

(Evidence for statments in this note will be found in Somerset deeds judicials and wills in the following volumes: IKL, pp. 273 & 282; EB5, p. 125 & 185; o20, p. 173; O11 p. 125; O14, p. 188, 189, & 209; O10 p. 5; O15 p. 21; & Md. Cal. Wills, III, p. 161; Ljungstedt, County Court Note Book, VIII, p18. There has always been the traditions in Somerset County of a relatinship between Col. William Stevensn (1630-1687), of "Rehoboth", and the White family. The most constant form of that tradition is that Sarah, wife of John White, was a sister of Col. Stevens. This is obviously erroneous, as the record (Libe IKL, p. 273) shows that John White married 27 Jun. 1672, Sarah Keyser, and that William, Elizabeth, Tabitha, Priscilla, Stevens, Sarah & Francis White were children of John & Sarah (Keyser) White. Col. William Stevens, in his will dated Aug 29, 1687- probated 26 Mar 1688 (Liber EB5, p. 171-2) devises property to John and Sarah (Keyser) White and several of their children. Col. Stevens calls Mrs. Sarah White "My sister White" and John White "my brother John White", and two of their children he calls "cousin" (a term used for nephew of niece). As a matter of fact, the relatinship of Col. Stevens to the Whites seems to have been through Steven's wife Elizabeth. After Stevens' death his widow Elizabeth married George Layfield, and after her death George Layfield married Pricilla White, daughter of John & Sarah (Keyser) White. The mariage of Layfield to Priscilla White created quite a sensation because, as it was said, "Mr Layfield... perstists in marrying of his neice... "Priscilla White, who Layfield married as his second wife, was not his own blood-niece, but the niece of Layfield's first wife, Madam Elizabeth Stevens. (For a full account of Layfield's marriages, see ante, p. 376), Such marriages were forbidden by eccleslastical law of the established church. Madam Elizabeth Stevens-Layfield was, before either of her marriages, no doubt Elizabeth Keyser, sister of Sarah Keyser, the wife of John White, and therefore aunt to Priscilla White who married George Layfield as his second wife. There was a Benjamin Keizer (or Keyser) of Somerset County (who died in 1691), who in his will names "my father George Keizer," brothers Elizer and John Keizer, sister May Mould and "my cousins [Nieces and Nephews?] Tabitha White, Priscilla White, Sarah White, Stevens White and William White". He also left small legacies to Lawrence Crawford and George Layfield, and refers to land which Col. William Stevens, of "Rehoboth", in his will, also devised property to Edmund Howard and his son William Stevens Howard, not mentioning any relatinship. William Stevens Howard was the son of Edmund Howard & Margaret Dent (IKL). John White, in his will, probated 3 Oct 1685, calls William Stevens Howard "my cousin". The relationship is unexplained beyond the reference. (Liber EB5, p. 126). 4. Early Families of Southern Maryland, Vol. 6 Howard, p. 38-45, (Genealogy.com).
