Note:
Mary Chilcoat has not been identified with certainty, but the person who would seem to be the most likely candidate to this compiler (Charles Tipton) is the widow of Humphrey Chilcoat. Humphrey and Mary Chilcoat, as recorded in St. James Parish, had four children James, John, John and Mary. Humphrey Chilcoat died in January of 1708, two months prior to the birth of his last child. Three factors influence the selection of this Mary Chilcoat as the wife of Jonathon Tipton: 1) She was a widow and thus eligible, 2) Jonathon sold James Chilcoat a small plot (30 acres) close to his homestead, out of the Addition to Poor Jamaica Man's Plague, in 1733, and 3) neither Mary Chilcoat nor her sons appear subsequently in the St. James Parish records.

Jonathon married Sarah PEARCE before 1692 in Herring Creek, Anne Arundel, MD. Sarah (daughter of William PEARCE and Elizabeth UNKNOWN) was born in 1670 in Anne Arundel Co., MD; died before 15 Dec 1709. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
