There is no doubt in my mind that John Chilcote (Chilcott) and Margaret did exist. No doubt what so ever. They were married, no doubt about that either. As a matter of fact they had two other sons that wasn't mention.
By all means, contact these people who have these queries and ask them where they found that information. I have done that to some of them. I got back one reply saying that they found it on the internet. Most will not answer. I hope that if you endeavor to do this that you have better results than I did.

The lovely thing about this message is it does give verification that John CHILCOTE(CHILCOTT) and Margaret ROBINSON Did exist!! And they were together enough to have children! And the names and dates of the births of their children ARE recorded. I will give credence to the very good possibility that they were married. Eventually. It's time to investigate the situations happening during their lifetimes. They may have been married by a traveling minister. They may have never had the opportunity (or inclination) to marry. That's not unheard of. Maybe one or the other died before they had the opportunity to marry officially. Records can get lost. I think that sentence about "fabrication" was very negative, and absurdly final! If St. Paul's was willing to record the births of their children, I say give that couple the benefit of the doubt, leave that record open for future discoveries, and, by the way.... let's find out where the info on the marriage DID come from that others cl!
aim to have.

On Feb 28, 2005 I received from Ms. Younger of California a copy of a letter that she received from the MARYLAND STATE ARCHIVES dated March 24, 2003.
Quote:
Dear Ms. Younger:
"A check of LIBRARY, Maryland Marriages 1634-1777, MARYLAND INDEXES (Church Records, Marriage Index) 1686-1958, LIBRARY,Anne Arundel County Church Records of the 17th and 18th Centuries, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS (St. Pauls's Parish) Index to Registers 1704-1933, LIBRARY, St. Thomas Parish Registers 1732-1850, LIBRARY, Index to St. John's Parish Register 1696-1788 and MARYLAND INDEXES (Marriage References, Index) 1674-1851 has shown no reference to the marriage of John Chilcote (Chilcott) and Margaret Robinson.
As you may know, the births of their sons Robinson (December 8, 1739), James (June 4, 1741) and John (March 30, 1743) are recorded in the St. Paul's Parish Register 1710-1789, p. 36, but their marriage is not."
Sincerely yours, Reference Services Department
I was hoping when I opened the letter and seen the letter head of the Maryland State Archives that someone had found the information that I have been waiting on for 30 years.
So those of you who have fabricated this marriage of John and Margaret you can remove this information from your records.
