Dear Peter,
Adam Shipley is thought to be the son of Hugh Shipley (??) of Yorkshire, England. Adam was transported to Maryland1668 by John Pawson at age 13, probably as an indentured servant. He arrived in MD in February, 1668. This was a common method to pay for passage to the new world. At an early age Adam started acquiring land and establishing himself in Maryland.
After 20 years of research I have an extensive file on the descendants of Adam as my lines are through three of his six children. Many others have worked on the Shipley ancestry as long and some much longer without being able to trace Adams roots in England.
If you can shed any light on this family you will forever be in my debt.
Regards,
Bobbie Bostick
