See husband's Notes for family information by Papenfuse*.

In 1658, Mary, the first member of what would become Richard Brightwell's extended family was transported from England to Maryland as the wife of John Boage (mentioned earlier as master of Patuxent Manor). Mary was the eldest daughter of Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) who came to Maryland from England. We first encounter Elizabeth as the wife of Robert Lashley in 1666. Available information appears to show that none of the five daughters of Elizabeth were the children of Robert Lashley. The biological father of these five daughters is yet unknown. The wills identified to date refer to them simply as "daughters of Elizabeth" which serves our purposes here. Records show that John Boage was age 30 in 1658. "Richard Brightwell Family in Maryland, 1640s through 1740s", compiled by William L. (Bill Smith). (Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin, Spring 2003). (Reno*)

** Notes from Michelle Justice (Shelly's Ancestors, posted on Ancesry.com*) (updated 9/2005)

Note: Richard BRIGHTWELL was transported to Maryland in 1663 by ThomasTruman. His will is found in The Maryland Calendar of Wills,Vol. 2 by Jane Bladwin. It was written in Prince George Co., 21 Aug 1698. He left to Eliza Burres, daughter of Jno Burres (andher heirs) half of "Blackwell" and "Mattawoman"; if no heirs from her body the estate reverts back to heirs of testator. To five children, unnamed, residue of estate real and personal. In event of death of 2 daughters, unnamed, their estate pass to thier 3 brothers, unnamed, and their heirs. Thomas Greenfield and William Watson, executors, to hold estate in trust until majority of eld. son Richard. Test: Wm Mills, Eliza Mills, Geo Mayler.

In Vol. I of Western MD published PA: Louis H. Everts 1882: p468: "Brightwell's Hunting Quarter was patented 29 Aug 1695 and contained on thousand eighty six acres. It extended for four miles along the Potomoc River and is now tarversed thru its whole length by Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The beginning of this tract was destroyed in the construction of the Canal, but a suitable stone was planted in its stead at the bottom of the canal, which is known only to a few persons. (continuing on pg. 651). About 1743 the tide of settlements commenced to extend up the Potomoc and a neighbor was found for Richard Brightwell, who located near Edward's Ferry in 1695. For 26 years he braved the perils of "Hunting Quarter" and during this time had seldom visited the lower settlements, being content with his dogs, pet bears, and deers for companions".

On pg 982 of Vol II of History of Western Maryland published PA:Louis H. Everts in 1882: "Brightwell's Choice was granted to Johnathan Hager, 50 acres, dated 3rd of March 1763".

The following was taken from an old newspaper article, date and name of newspaper unknown, about 1950's. The article was titled "Indian Towne, Monnockessy" and was written by Ralph Fraley Martz.
"Captain Richard Brightwell of the Prince Georges County Rangers traveled all the Indian trails in upper Montgomery. He also traveled through the Monocacy Country. He was impressed with the abundance of elk, deer, wolves, bears and wild turkeys. Yes,even buffaloes roamed the Potomoc Valley. In 1697, he said this country was a howling wildrness with only Indian paths, Indian camps and wild animals. No white settlers would dare these trails. Captain Brightwell said that the Senacas had conquered all other tribes in this section and used these lands as their hunting grounds".
