Descendants of William
Firstborn child of the immigrant
William Longfellow born 25 Nov 1679 was the firstborn of William Longfellow and Anne Sewall, Born at Newbury, Essex, Mass.
His father William was sent on an expedition aqainst Quebec in 1690 When
William was 11 year's old. The ship wrecked and sunk and William Longfellow the Immigrant drowned off the coast of Cape Breton near Anticosti 31 Oct 1690. William did not take the death of his father very well and decided to Fly the coup, 
to leave his family and no one heard from him again in Massachusetts. Did he leave Massachusetts and head for Maryland or not? Record's show that he married in Boston,Suffolk, Mass. to Mary Davise 26 Jun 1702 Perhaps he met her in Boston and he would have been 22 at the time he was married. For some unknown reason he left her in Boston where she remarried to William Sheafe in 1704. The next records available show up in Maryland. He must have decided to sail away. Was there a Mary Browne in Boston that he may have known?
and ended up in Talbot/Queen Annes County, Maryland where Joseph Longfellow was born abt 1697-1703 or could he have been born in Massachusetts? Could Joseph have been William's son ?. Did William secondly marry toElizabeth Ringoldor was it another?
JOSEPH LONGFELLOW possible child of William and Mary Davis or Mary Browne would have been born abt 1697-1703 and married an Elizabeth abt 1730 or was this Joseph Longfellow of Maryland much older than 7-14 years old in 1710-1711 when he shows up on Elizabeth Brownes will as a Witness or was he just like a neighbor to Elizabeth Browne? Where did he live, Which County can he be found in? The Joseph in Queen Annes County and Elizabeth had at least one child as found at St. Lukes Episcopal Church in Church Hill,MD - To view pictures of St. Lukes and the Maryland Court house where records of this Joseph Longfellow can be found check out this link: ) St Lukes & Court House
