Sir William Compton arranged for grants of land in the colonies for two of his sons before he died. Son Thomas was given a grant in 1659 and son John was given a grant in 1665. John is the last of "our" direct line to have been born in England . John's original land grant was "Boswell" in St. Mary's County, Maryland , from "Charles Calvert, Lt. General of said Province, 27 Sept. 1665 (in the 34th year of the Calvert Grant -- Manor of alvert)." There is still today a small village named "Boswell" on his original grant. John Compton acquired much property in adjoining Charles County , and inasmuch as his son Matthew was born in Charles County , it can be assumed that John Compton moved his residence to that area. [From a letter by Frances Booten Compton of Miami, Florida, unknown date (but probably 40-50 years ago).] John Compton's land patent has been verified to be "Boswell," 200 acres in St, Mary's County, Maryland, dated 1665, with the certificate of survey in Liber 7, folio 499, and the patent in Liber 8, folio 460. John Compton subsequently bought a lo t more land in Charles County, MD, and had children and grandchildren who married into families of other "gentlemen" who were second and third sons, etc. of English nobility in Maryland and Virginia including the Fairfax family and the Howard fa mily--related to the Duke of Norfolk. | Compton, Sir William (I4133)
