| Ann Gates is probably a cousin. _______________________ Peter CARRICO's wife Margaret could not be the daughter of James GATES & Janyet as proven by the records. [Could Ann & Margaret be the same person, that I don't know but is doubtful, I can prove that Ann Gates dau of Robert & Dorothey did marry a Peter Carrico, James is the brothere of Ann Gates Carrico] Does anyone know who Margaret is? A: James Gates died 1750 his daughter Margaret was listed as Margaret Gates, she was not married... Peter Carrico & Margaret's Children were born 1739 to about 1745, Margaret Gates was not married at ths time. See James Gates Will, only one of his daughters was married at the time of his death.

| Earliest mention is in 1707 when Peter Carrico of Charles County, Maryland executed a deed conveying some property to Walter Story (1) C-2 Folio 83, Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland. In 1730 Peter deeded to Abel a property in Charles County (2) Liber M- 2, c-20, Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland. In 1764 Peter Sr. executed a deed to Peter Jr. (3) Liber L No. 3 Folio 500 Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland. BIOGRAPHY The earliest records seem to indicate that Peter and Abel were brothers and they begin to appear in the early seventeen hundreds. Peter deeded property to Walter Story in 1707 in Charles County, Maryland. In 1730 Peter deeded to Abel a property in Charles County and in 1764 Peter, Sr. deeded property ot Peter, Jr. Peter named one of his sons Abel, and Abel named one of his sons Peter. Peter, Sr. lived out his life in Bryantown Hundred, Charles Co., Maryland while Abel later moved from Charles Co., Maryland to Fairfax County, Virginia. Peter seemed to be a rather well-to-do man of the that time and owned quite a lot of land, some of which he leased to other land owners in the area as evidenced by the following lease agreements: 1. Charles County, Maryland land records (1722-1733), page 122. Leber M#2, page 221 show that the following lease was recorded on June 13,1730 at the request of Geeorge Keyth of Charles County. On March 25, 1730 from Peter Carrico of Charles County, planter, to George Keyth planter and Elizabeth, his wife, for consideratins already reserved and hereafter mentioned the lease part of a parcel of land called Maidston, now in the possessin of sd Peter Carrico, situated on a branch of Piles Fresh bounded by a tract of land now in the possession of John Piggeon called New Bradford a tract of land in possessionof Lawrence Lent called Canterbury containing 50aa. George Keyth may cut down any timber or timber trees for the use of said land (vis) for fuilding, fencing, or tabacco hogshead, during term of 19 years, to commence from Dec. 10, last past, in consideration of which George Keyth has paid Peter Carrico 2000 lbs. of tobacco. Signed: Peter Carrico Witnesses: Jno Briscoe, Jno Howard 2. Charles County, Maryland land records page 122 shows the recording of the following lease on June 11, 1730. June 8, 1730 from Peter Carrico of Charles County, planter, to Abel Carrico of Charles County, planter, the lease of a part of a tract of land called Maidenstone, as he has in possession and has made improvements upon said land, containing about 40a. This lease starts next Nov 1, and runs for 21 years. Abel Carrico may not have more than 1 person besides his own family for a crop of corn of tobacco, upon sd land. Abel Carrico shall not waste timber. Abel Carrico shall build what houses he has occasion of during sd term, at his own cost. The yearly rend is 500 lbs. of tobacco and case. Signed: Peter Carrico Witnesses: Jno Briscoe & Jno Howard 3. Charles County, Maryland Land Records, (1761-1765) Book L#3, page 76, page 580. August 18, 1764 from Peter Carico (Carrico), Sr. of Charles County to Samuel Hanson of Charles County, merchant, for 10,170 lbs. of crop tobacco, a tract of land in Charles County called the Maid Stone bounded by Thomas Hunt's land called Hunts Venture, thence to a parcel of land called Canterbury, a bounded white oak of Robert Gates's, containing about 100a. If however, sd Peter Carico Sr pays sd Samuel Hanson, the afd tobacoo with leagel interest from today, in three equal payments, the first payment by May 21, 1765, the second by May 21, 1766 and the third by May 21, 1767 then this deed to be void. Signed: Peter Carrico Witnessed: Richd Harrison, Josias Hawkins, Margaret, the wife of the sd Peter, released her rights of dower. Recorded January 9, 1765. Peter's will (see copy below) was signed April 14, 1764 and was probated in Charles County, Maryland on October 18, 1765. In his will he named his wife, Margaret, and five sons. It was customary in colonial wills to name children in the order of their birth. This has allowed an approximation of birth dates, based on the customs of the times and the birthdate of Thomas Ignatius, which was given as 1741 in the 1776 census of Prince Georges County, maryland. This census gave the age of both Thomas Ignatius and his wife, Elizabeth, as thirty-five (35) years. The will of Peter Carrico reads as follows: "In the name of God Amen. The 14th day of April, I, Peter Carrico of Charles County, Planter, in the province of Maryland being in health and of sound mind and perfect memory, Thanks be to almighty God for it, and calling to remembrance to uncertain state of this transitory life, and that all flesh must yield unto death when it shall please God to call; Do make constitute and ordain and declare this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following, revoking and annulling by these presents all and every testament, will and wills heretofore by me made; and declared either by word or writing, and this to be taken only for my last will and testament and none other, and first being penitent and sorry from the bottom of my heart for my sins past and most humbly desiring forgiveness for the same, I give and commit my soul unto Almighty God my Savior and Redeemer in whom and by the merits of Jesus Christ I believe and trust assuredly to be saved, and to have remission and forgiveness for all my sins and that my soul with my body at the general resurrection shall rise again with joy and through the merits of Christ's death and passion possess and inherit the kingdom of Heaven prepared for His elect and chosen, and my body to be buried in such place and where it shall please my friends hereafter named to appoint --- My loving wife Margaret, my loving son John, my loving son Thomas Ignatius, my loving son James, my loving son Bartholomew, my loving son Bazzil --- Item - I give and bequeath unto my wife Margaret Carrico all the tract of land called Maidstone, during her natural life and when she is dead to be equally divided among my four sons - that is to sat, John, Thomas Ignatius, Bartholomew and Bazzil --- Item - I give and bequeath to my loving wife Margaret a tract of land called Carrico Hope during her natural lfe and when she is dead to my loving son James.
