Reverdy Ghiselin Depty. Comy. Of Fredk. County Parents: Griffin MORLEY and UNKNOWN ELIZABETH.

Spouse: Matthew MARKLAND. Margaret MORLEY and Matthew MARKLAND¹⁰³⁴ were married on 22 October 1722 in Anne Arundel County, MD. Matthew Markland was born about 1690 in Wiggin, Lancaster, England and died in Prince George's County, MD, June 18, 1744. He married Margaret (Morley) Jones, widow of David Jones, on October 22, 1722 in Anne Arundel County, MD. Margaret was the daughter of Griffin and Elizabeth Morely. Margaret Markland died about April 4, 1751, Frederick County MD. Her sons by David Jones are mentioned in her will, (Thomas and Michael Jones) as well as their son, Matthew Markland.

In 1735, Matthew lived on the Maryland side of the Potomac River across from the Hunting Creek Plantation which was owned by Augustine Washington. The property is now known as Mount Vernon. Matthew and Augustine were friends as both served as vestrymen in their respective Episcopal churches. Matthew often "held small George Washington on his knees and taught him songs and stories."

Second Generation:

Children of Matthew Markland Sr and Margaret (Morley) Jones (widow) Jonathan Markland (c1725-1800) m. 1) Priscilla Davis; 2) Grace Letton Summer (Moved to KY) Matthew Markland, Jr. (1727-1790) m. Mrs. Ancible/Angel (Crampton) Blake (1717-1800) (Moved to Hope, NC) Mary Markland m. Patrick Garland Margaret Markland m. Alexander Read

One source suggests that Markland IN was named after the descendants of one Jonathon Markland born c.1725, the brother of Matthew II and eldest son of Matthew and Margaret Morley Jones Markland, who moved to Pennsylvania, then to Boone County Ky. The book traces Matthew I to Matthew II (Davey Co.,N.C. aka Davie Co.) to Nathaniel Markland and his children, but she does not confirm that Nathaniel's children founded the town Markland IN, but rather that their cousins, the descendants of Jonathon, brother of Matthew II, were the founders.
