My Comments notes for William Standiford
Christiana’s marriage to William Standiford is listed twice in the records for St. John’s Parish. In one case, she is named Christiannah and that marriage is dated Nov 1739. But then their marriage, in this case her name was listed as Stehannah, was also given as having occurred 8 Dec 1740. Both records also then show the birth of twins -- Aquilla and his sister Averilla -- which either was 24 Aug 1740 or 24 Aug 1741. There also was a William born possibly Nov 1742 and Abraham in 1745.
These four children would be Bloys Wright’s step-brothers and -sisters. As his mother married when he was about 5, he would have thought of them as close family.
Parent-Proof notes for Christiana (Spouse 1)
Christiana is believed to have been the daughter of Abraham Enloes. He died in 1709 and when he wrote his will he knew his wife was pregnant but of course did not know the gender or name of his child to be. But he referred to his yet unborn child. Robert Barnes makes the case that Abraham was the only logical candidate to be her father.
I have considered the problem of how to establish some real proof that Christiana was the unborn child.
When was she born, 1710? If I could prove she was born in 1710, that would be compelling. We first find mention of her from her marriage in 1735 to Thomas Wright. You might think from that she was born a little later than 1710, but a 1710 birth can’t be ruled out. I have looked for a death record or tombstone (few survive from that period) with no luck. So that is one open issue.
Did Enloes Meadow go to daughter Margaret? If so, that proves that the unborn child was female, else it would have gone to Abraham’s unborn male child. The problem is that if and when Enloes Meadow was sold, it may have been sold by Margaret and her husband and that makes it impossible to go to the Grantor indexes for property records and know what name to look for. I can verify that no one named Enloes sold that tract, at least that I can find -- but the absence of a record proves nothing.
My Comments notes for Christiana (Spouse 1)
”Baltimore County Families” by Robert Barnes is the source of much of my information on the Enloes family and I have quoted this source throughout this chapter.
After Thomas Wright died, Christiana married second William Standiford. We are not related to the Standifords, but they were another large and prominent Maryland family.
