Generation No. 1

1. William Fielding1 Willoughby was born Bef. 1771 in England. He married Margurite Bougouis Abt. 1791. She was born Bef. 1777.

Notes for William Fielding Willoughby:

William Fielding Willoughby, born in England, was supposed to have been on his father's ship as a 17 yr. old stowaway that sailed from England & when they landed William jumped ship & ran away. He later married. Their son Rudolphus Willoughby was born ca 1790 in Maryland or Canada. He married in 1825 in Marion County, Mississippi.

One story, relayed by Deb Dillon Dillon8330@aol.com goes "William F's father owned a shipping fleet in England and that William F was the youngest of 5 or 6 sons. WF wanted to captain his own ship, but his mother threw a fit - she did not want all of her sons on the water, so he stowed away on one of his brother's ships. Supposedly the brother tried to "jail" him, but he hid in a barrel and was taken ashore somewhere around Boston. He escaped and hid from them, but never got to captain his ship, either!"

Memo: 4 generations

Notes for Margurite Bougouis:

Was she the widow Walker? The info below is not conclusive that this is the same couple.

Margureite Walker, a widow, married a William Willoughby in Dorchester Co., Maryland, in 1775. Could it be this couple? (thanks to Deb Dillon) One Willoughby family had been in Dorchester Co. for several generations.

Abstracts of the Balance Books of the Prerogative Court of Maryland

1770-1777 (Libers 6 and 7) by V. L. Skinner, Jr.:

pg 74: William Walker, Dorchester Co., 9 Aug 1775 - Sureties: Nathan HARVEY, Richard HARVEY; Legatees: Peggy (youngest dau); Adm'x: Margaret Willoughby, wife of Mr. William Willoughby of Caroline Co.

Was Margaret Willoughby possibly widow of William Harvey (above) or perhaps his dau Margaret who was Walker's widow and who had remarried by this settlement?
