Mary Chew

*1727 06 27

RFU 14107's data has Mary marrying Gov. William Paca 12113 on 1763 05 26. Other sources say he married Ann Mary (Molly) Chew 12026. For/against the way I have it:

  • There's a portrait of Anna Maria Tilghman Chew 12022 (q.v.), who is called Paca's sister-in-law (pro).
  • www.colonialhall.com says just that Paca married the daughter of Samuel Chew (neither).
  • www.williampaca.com mentions a son named John Philemon, whose middle name could have honoured Philemon Lloyd Chew 12019 (pro)
  • Katie Moose in Annapolis: The Guidebook (2001) says that Paca married the brother of Philemon Lloyd Chew (pro), and that Philemon bequeathed land to Mary.
