Honor Stafford, Maryland, 1700
Looking for info on HONOR STAFFORD of Maryland, probably Anne Arundel Co.She was a beneficiary under the will of Honor Moriarty (Marriarte), drawn 5 Mar 1701, probated 25 Apr 1701 in Anne Arundel Co.She was close enough to Honor Moriarty to be the only non-related beneficiary, named even before Honor Moriarty's daughters.
Honor Moriarty was the widow of Edward Moriarty (Meriarte), an Anne Arundel Co. landowner who d. in 1688.I see that Honor Elder, b. 12 Oct 1689, d/o John Elder and Honor Dorsey, m. an unknown Stafford, then m. John Dorsey on 8 Apr 1708 in Anne Arundel.But if this is the right birthdate for Honor Elder, she would have been about 10-1/2 when the will was drawn, and probably not married yet to Stafford.
Who is Honor Stafford?Is there a blood relationship to Honor Moriarty?We don't know who Honor's parents are, but a possible maiden name is Osborn.I'm descended from Honor Moriarty, and I'd appreciate knowing what the Stafford connection is.
