* Maria Newman was brought to Middlesex, England court in 1752 or 1753 on felony charges. Maria had stolen some money from a gentleman she spent time with in one of the inns. He woke up the next morning to find his trousers on the floor and a gold ring missing. She was later found and brought to court. She was then sentenced to be an indentured servant for seven in Maryland. Maria arrived in Maryland on the ship called the "Tryal". Maria eventually became an indentured servant to Mr. { Thomas ? } MacAtee in Charles county, Maryland. In June of 1755 Maria was brought to Charles county court along with her 4 month old bastard son "William". The charge was "Bastardy". At 4 months of age William was sentenced to servitude until he reached the age of 31 years. William eventually married a woman named "Martha", surname is unknown. William and Martha's son John born 1793 married Ann Proctor in 1814. It was said the majority of John & Ann's children had blond hair and blue eyes, this is still present in the family. The descendants of John & Ann resided in Charles & Prince George's county, Maryland up to the 1900's. Then some started to move out of state to pass as white, successfully. But most of them maintained contact with their Maryland cousins for a few generations.
