Notes for Mary Ashman: Charles Co. births and marriages:
ASHMAN MARY, dau. of Richard & Anne of Wiccocomico, b.3, Aug. 1685.
The following is from Rootsweb: submitted by Marva Hoffmeyer
1717-In the will of Anne___Ashman Hardy Forster (written 10 Oct. 1717, probated 13 Oct 1717) 150 acres called 'St. Edmonds' on Portabacco Creek was left to her son, John Ashman, and to her daughter, Mary, wife of Richard Ankrum. She gave her son, Richard Ashman the services of Englishwoman, Charity Thompson, for the next two years of her term. Also mentioned were her daughter, Ann Ollover, James Penny, AND THE CHILDREN OF MARY ANKRUM. Her three sons, John Ashman, Richard Ashman, and Richard Ankrum were named as executors.
THIS WILL PROVES THAT RICHARD ANKRUM AND MARY ASHMAN HAD LIVING CHILDREN (plural) IN 1717--LONG BEFORE SARAH WAS BORN IN 1724. The Maryland records of their births, if they can be located, should also include Sarah's birth record and indicate when the family moved to Stafford County, Virginia.
1733- William and Mary Ashman Matthews became active in the Quaker church.
25 Mar. 1734- William Matthews, Sr. leased part of a 200-acre fam from Charles Carroll, Esq. of Baltimore. This farm, "Carrolton," was located between Monocacy Village and the Potomac River.
20d 9 m 1739 - The will of the second husband of Mary Ashman, William Matthews, was probated in Prince Georges County, Maryland, bequeathing to his daughter-in-law Sarah Ancram, a gray mare and a "ewe commonly called hers."

The balance of the estate was left to his "loving wife, Mary." (Baldwin Wills Will 20 day 9th mo. 1739, pr. 9d May 1740).
