FYI:
Ancestors of Elizabeth Bullock
Generation No. 1
1. Elizabeth Bullock, born Abt. 1670; died in MD. She was the daughter of 2. John
Bullock and 3. Catherine Assiter. She married (1) Arthur Joseph Alvey Bef. 1690 in SMC,
MD (Source: Maryland Calandar of Wills, 3:502, 10:17). He was the son of Joseph Alvey and
Elizabeth Unknown. She married (2) William Cissell Bet. 1688 - 1692 in SMC, MD. He was
the son of John Baptist Cissell and Mary Calvert.
Notes for Arthur Joseph Alvey:
From Robert Lee Alvey: Arthur is thought to be the oldest child of
Joseph & Elizabeth. Mary Louise Donnelly, an avid St. Mary's Co, MD researcher,
believes that Arthur's son is a younger son of Joseph and Elizabeth and prints as such
in her book "Early settlers of St. Clement's Bay". Nothing should be
dismissed but I, along with several other Alvey researchers, continue to have some
problems with the timeline for this to be fact and until something documentable is found,
I will continue to show him as Arthur's only child.
Notes for William Cissell:
By his marriage to Catherine Joyner he came into possession of 100 acres of
"Scotland". William married secondly Elizabeth Bullock Alvey, the daughter of
John and ? Assiter, and the widow of Arthur Alvey, with no children. In 1701 William
administered the estate of Arthur Alvey )Acc't 21:382). William acquired an
additional 100 acres of "Scotland" which was resurveyed for him on 12/10/1714
and patented to him on 9/10/1716.
William Cissell, a planter, wrote his will 22 Jun 1742 and was admitted to probate on 28
Nov 1744.(24:2-4) To his son Arthur he left 100 acres of "Scotland", and to his
granddaughter Elinor (daughter of Arthur) he left the land between Arthur's plantation
and where John Harden now lives. To his son Luke he left the other part of
"Scotland", 50 acres he had obtained by "Judgement in Chancery". He
left his daughters Margaret Thompson and Ann Edwards the plantations where they were
living. To his son Matthew he left the plantation where he was living, which was 50 acres
of "White Acres", William had inherited from his father, plus Clare his wife he
left a shilling. To his daughter Elizabeth, the wife of Charles Payne, he left the land
between William Cissell's and Ann Edward's, deeded from her brother William
Cissell's land. To his daughter Clare Barton he left one acre now in possession of
William Cissell's son John. To his daughter in law Elizabeth___, now married to
Char!
les Neal, he left access to William Cissell's land. His children were all named as
his heirs.
William is mentioned in the will of his father, John Cissell, dated 28 April 1694.
Notes of March 1697/1698 as recorded in the annals of PGC, MD, a William Cecil "by
the request of my wife as she lay upon her deathbed " disposed of his children John,
age 7, Phillip, age 5, and Susan, age 2, to Mareen Duval (the Elder) and his wife. May be
a different William-as it is, there seems to be no real agreement on which children
belonged to which wife.
Appears property was received from his brothers Richard Cecil and Robert Cecil, of 100
acres, since they both had died young if had come to him, ref: Elise Greenup Jordan,
