COL George Dashiell I1,2,3,4,5,6

Father:Thomas Dashiell I (23 Apr 1666 - 1755)

Charts:John Satchell Martin * lineage
     COL George Dashiell I was born on 31 Jan 1690 at Somerset Co, Maryland. He was the son of Thomas Dashiell I and Elizabeth Mitchell. COL George Dashiell I married Elizabeth 'Betty' N. (Unknown) c 1714. COL George Dashiell I married Elizabeth Marshall, daughter of John Marshall and Sarah (Unknown), on 10 Sep 1740 at Northampton Co, Virginia. COL George Dashiell I died on 7 Nov 1748 at Somerset Co, Maryland, at age 58. His estate was probated on 14 Nov 1748 at Somerset Co, Maryland.
      Col George Dashiell attended the Anglican church at Stepney Parish, Somerset Co, MD in what later became Wicomico Co, MD. He was an attorney who was admitted to the Somerset Co Court in 1713. George served in the Maryland Lower House off and on from 1719 until 1748. He held numerous local positions including clerk of indictments and as a justice. George entered the militia as a captain in 1725 and achieved the rank of colonel in 1736.

George was a planter. He patented 2,124 acres in Somerset and Worcester counties in Maryland between 1723 and 1745 and was deeded and purchased other lands as well. He owned 116 acres called Satisfaction, 135 acres named Summer Pasture, 50 acres called Dashiell's Meadow, 100 acres called Lott, 80 acres called The Bottom of the Neck and then River Landing, 66 acres called Addition, 95 acres called Contention, 83 acres named Turkey Ridge, part of Cowpox Marsh, 45 acres of Good Luck, and 1,740 acres called Dashiell's Lott and Noble Farm.

On 2 Oct 1721 George purchased 2,500 acres known as Bennett's Adventure on the north side of Wicomico Creek in present-day Wicomico Co from Bennett and Elizabeth Scarbourgh and all Bennett's siblings and their heirs. Bennetts Adventure had been the property of Bennett's father, Col Charles Scarburgh, our 11th great grand-uncle on another family line and before him belonged to Bennett's grandfather, Gov. Richard Bennett.

Thomas Preeson was the security on the marriage license bond of George Dashiel of Somerset Co, MD and Elizabeth (Marshall) Fairfax, widow of James Fairfax.

At his death George owned 1,549 acres, 233.15.1 pounds sterling, 1951.15.8 pounds currency, 35 slaves, 310 oz silver, books and a bay sloop. In his will he continued to divide Dashiell's Lott, which was on the north side of Wiccocomico Creek beginning at Back Creek, leaving parts to sons Issac and George, having already given a portion to son Clement. He provided for sons Thomas and Benjamin with 250 acres called Mitchell's Improvement south of Great Monie Creek. For son Joseph he left River Landing, Green Hill Church, Lott Light, Dashiell's Meadow and Summer Pasture. Finally, for son Benjamin he left Contention, Wood's Pasture, Satisfaction and Turkie Ridge. He bequeathed 40 slaves by name in his will.

A summation of George's will includes: to son Clement Dashiell my 2 slaves. To son Louther my slaves. To son Isaac Dashiell land where on he lives and of his brother Louther, including the new quarters where Polly now lives. To son Thomas tract which my father gave me by deed of 12-24-1741 called Mitchells Improvement on the south sied of Great Monies Creek where my father now lives and if son Thomas dies without heirs, the to son Benjamin. To son Joseph land called River Landing which I bought of Wm. & John Ribble, 80 ac and land of William Gray called Green Hill Church, where said Gray now lives, called Lott Light in Worcester Co and tract called Summer Pasture. To son Benjamin Dashiell land called Contention alineated to him by law, and his wife Jane, "The Woods Pasture," and a tract near John Christopher and Robert Mallones, all of which I give to son Benjamin. To young son George Dashiell the plantation where on I live, and to his eldest son, but if he dies without heirs, then to son Benjamin, and he dies without heirs, to son Joseph. To wife Elizabeth, daughter Eleanor Martin, granddaughter Ann Dashiell, granddaughter Mary, daughter Clement Dashiell, granddaughter Jane, daughter of Louther Dashiell. Balance of estate to be divide between Clement, Louther, Isaac Dashiell, Eleanor Martin, Joseph Dashiell, Benjamin and George Dashiell. Wife Elizabeth executrix. Witnesses: Alexander M. Cants, Stephen Hobbs and Thomas Collins. (Note: another transcription mentions his son-in-law John Martin.)

Donated papers in the Goldsborough Collection in the Maryland Historical Society Filing Case A contain Dashiell materials and provided another researcher, for example, the death date of George's first wife. These records need to be researched.
