• Notes

  William Jones petitioned Prince George's court for 90 acres of land that was due his wife Mary Brown when Mary's father Jacob Brown died.  The land was patented to William Jones on 29 September 1756. The land was known as "Stanleys Chance". This land was originally part of a 630 acre tract granted to a Edward Betson on 26 December 1688 in Calvert County, Maryland. John Stanley patented "Stanleys Chance" on 24 April 1689 in Calvert County, Maryland. The land became part of Prince George's county in 1695. John Stanley sold the land to John Brown for 6,000 pounds of tobacco on 18 August 1692. This land is very close to where Samuel Warren lived and also close to Stanley Creek, now called Swansons Creek. Samuel Warren was executor to the estate of Edward Jones, possibly related to William Jones.  I have placed this family here as it is highly probable that there is a relationship.
