He was Principal Secretary of Maryland and a man of high standing. His life was cut short by drowning when he was trying to ford the swollen Wicomico River in 1682. The grant of land from his uncle, the Lord Proprietory, was called "Piscataway Manor," 2400 acres of which he sold to Charles Edgerton, Sr. His home was "Calvert's Rest," on Calvert's Bay, which is still standing. He was a member of the House of Burgesses and of the Council; he was also Deputy Governor of the Province." CALVERT, William (I610)

8889 William Scott is first mentioned in the Deming Headlight news. It is reported that he has moved in to a ranch in Hondale and that he is an expert on chickens, having won many prizes at fairs.
Over the years he moves around a lot, in 1915 he visits Indianapolis, in 1916 it is reported he has traded his Hondale property for an 8 room house in San Antonio and yet never leaves town, a week later he is reported fencing the Hondale property.
In 1917 he leases out his "Chicken Hawk Ranch" and says he is going to Florida for 2 years.

8890 William Spicer had cancer in his face which required many surgeries to remove the cancerous tissue and bone. Due to the surgeries, William's face was horribly disfigured and his sinus cavities were exposed which drained constantly and required frequent dressing changes. Despite severe pain from the facial mutilation(s), and the exposure of his open wounds to bacteria and germs, William survived, albeit miserably, in this condition for many years. His son, Lanklyn also suffered from facial cancer, however, his malignancies were diagnosed in the early stages and less extreme measures of treatment was provided, i.e. burning the malignancies.
William Harrison Spicer made a blackboard for one of the first schools [in Holt County, Nebraska] which is written in 'Before Today' a book about the people who settled Holt County, Nebraska. The same book states, James Davis and Arina Wyman moved to Minnesota in 1855, a year before Arina Philinda Davis was born. Then moved their family to Holt County, Nebraska in 1878 with 13 children. Yet Arina and William Harrison's daughter, Valerie [Lanklyn's sister] was born in 1875, where I don't know, but their 2nd child, Claude was born in 1877 in Atkinson, Nebraska, a year before the book claims Arina Phylinda moved to Holt County, NE with her parents! So it is questionable that Arina Wyman and James Davis moved to Holt County, Nebraska with their 13 children after all.
He was named after his uncle William Harrison.
William moved his family back and forth between Minnesota and Nebraska on several occasions by covered wagon. On the family's last trip back to Minnesota, William and Arina's 6 year old son, Nathan, contracted scarlet fever and died near Winnebago City, Minnesota. Heart broken, William and Arina carried their small child away from the train and buried him under a small cherry tree on the prairie.
Once the towns people heard that someone on the train had died of the fever they wired to all of the towns and villages ahead to warn them, and the people on the wagon train were shunned and made to stay away from the towns and villages. In later years one of Nathan's brother's went back to Winnebago in search of his brother's small grave in order to place a headstone but was unable to find it.

8891 William Stone first settled in Accomac Co., VA, on the Eastern Shore where he was granted 1800 acres. His mother was probably a Poynton since the Poynton and Stone families lived in Derbyshire in the 1660's. He named his Maryland home, 'Poynton Manor.' STONE, Governor William (I601)

8897 William, son of John, was mentioned in the manor rolls of Stokenham, 3 Jan 1580/1 and in 1610 was called "William Marche, sen." in the rolls.

Devon, yeoman whose will was dated 29 Apr 1612, named the seven children of his deceased son, Richard, and surviving children of his own. MARCHE, William (I6705)

8900 With Henry Smith, Thomas Cooper, Samuel Chapin and Richard Sikes, he was a member of the first board of Selectmen, 1644, serving continuously through 1652 and again in 1654. Shortly thereafter, the family was represented on the board by his eldest son Jonathan. Henry Burt was the first to hold, in Springfield, the Office of Clerk of Writs, being elected 29 May 1649 and serving until his death in 1662. The vital statistics for that period are in his handwriting. After Rev. George Moxon left Springfield, the town for some time was without a settled minister and got along with what may be termed lay readers as a substitute. It was voted 18 Feb 1665/6, that Mr. Holyoke and Henry Burt should carry on the work of the Sabbath, and recompense was voted to Deacon Wright, Deacon Chapin, Mr. Holyoke and Henry Burt for their labors in that work the previous summer. On 9 Nov 1657, Mr. Holyoke, Mr. Pynchon, Deacon Chapin, and Henry Burt were appointed to continue this work. Although there were attempts to secure a settled minister, none remained long until the Rev. Pelatiah Glover commenced his pastorate in 1660. BURT, Henry (I1806)
