I'm new to this list and I am attempting to trace the arrival of a Michael
GRIGG to either Maryland or Virginia around 1660s.
The name Michael is not common in England at this time and almost all
references found in the seventeenth century are linked to one family from
London and Bedforshire.
I have noticed in various lists that a Michael GRIGG did travel to Maryland,
at what date I'm not sure.
There is a reference to him in a set of CDs, "Colonial Families of
Maryland", CDs 184 and 189. From Australia it is almost impossible to
access these, could I ask someone who may have ready access to them to check
out these references and advise when Michael is recorded as going to
Maryland and any other information which might be available.

We know that Richard was a member of the General Assembly of Maryland...So shouldn't there be a picture somewhere???
We have alot of information on this family up to present although there are some holes here and there...so we are still plugging away.

Question. When a message comes in to the web, what happens to it? Is it
automatically posted or does someone have to process it?
I often find messages that are of interest to me personally, but not
strictly genealogical information, so I don't know whether it is cricket to
inquire and I don't know whether my question is causing someone more work.

I have a question about appointing guardians for children in the 1700s when
the father died but left a widow.
There are a couple cases in my Kent and Queen Anne's families in the 1700's
where, with the father already dead, the mother, in her will, designated a
guardian for the children. This makes sense since both parents had died.
However, in all cases where the father died leaving a widow, no provisions
were made in any of these wills for a guardian. My genealogy friends in
England tell me that, in England at least, it was customary to name a
guardian in this case (that is, even when the mother was still
living). Was this true in Maryland at the time? If so, was the guardian
usually named in the will or was there a separate judicial process for
naming a guardian? If it was not customary to name a guardian when the
mother was still living, what rights or powers did she have over properties
and monies specifically left to her minor son? I should point out that all
of these cases involved bequeaths to minor sons of the fine houses, very
large pieces of properties, and substantial amounts of currency.
Any information about the relevant customs or laws at the time will be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
