Biography
Ellinor Orme was born in 1649 in England. Mary's parents' names are unknown at this time. She came to Maryland, United States in 1665 as "Eleanor James". Richard had first come to the USA two years before. Ellinor married Richard James II (1649-1685) in Anne Arundel County, MD in 1665. He was the son of Richard James (1616-1670) and Maria Parsons James (1617-1669).
Richard II and Ellinor Orme James were the parents of the following known children, all born in Anne Arundel County, MD,: Rachel James, Deborah James, Martha James, Sarah James and Mary James. Mary's husband, Richard James II died in 1685.
The land rents for Anne Arundel County in 1707 Herring Creek Hundred, show that Elinor James the widow of Richard married John Turner. It further substaniates the inference from the land records that Richard Taylor owned two tracts of 100 acres, the Tract "James his Chance" which Richard purchased from Robert Paca and was sold by Teage and Mary Tracey, and another tract "Thorton Parke" which is refered to as Richard James's land in the tract description of 90 acres that was sold to Richard Bedsworth by Robert Paca 10 June 1672 and then conveyed by Richard Bedsworth to Nathan Smith, AA Co. merchant on 16 Nov 1682.
Ellinor died in 1707 in Maryland, United States. She was 58 years old.
