Biography

This profile is part of the Prettyman Name Study.

Thomas Prettyman II served during the French and Indian War.

Thomas Prettyman II served with Maryland during the American Revolution.

Thomas Prettyman Jr. was born around 1710 of father Thomas Prettyman Sr. and mother Comfort Burton at his father's property in Indian River Hundred, north of Indian River -- a spot that was always Sussex County, Delaware. Thomas was the oldest of just three children born to his parents:

• Thomas Prettyman, Jr., born. ca. 1710, m. Elizabeth Enloe; died in 1790
• Elizabeth Prettyman Coulter born 25 Nov. 1712; m. William Eli Coulter; died 1769 in Pennsylvania
• Robert Prettyman, born ca. 1714 - d. before age 21, no children^[1]

Thomas Prettyman Jr's parents were Sussex County neighbors who had married early in 1710 when both were around 25 years old.^[2] (Alas, no marriage or birth certificates exist for these early years in Sussex County, Colonial Delaware.)

Death of Father & Remarriage of Mother

Thomas Prettyman Junior's father, Thomas Prettyman Senior, died in 1719, when young Thomas was only about 9 years old. His sister Elizabeth was 7, and his brother Robert was about 5.

After Thomas Prettyman Senior's death at just 34 years old, with small children to raise, Thomas Junior's mother, Comfort (nee Burton) Prettyman/Walker/Wolf, soon married another Sussex County planter, Thomas Walker. He was older (b. ca. 1676) and possibly a widower. They married before 1724 in Sussex County, Delaware.

Still in her 40s and with sizeable land-holdings, Comfort (Burton) Walker was a very-eligible widow in the early 1730s. A few years after her second husband died, she re-married a third time, this time to local planter, Reese Wolf (born ca. 1685). He would be her third and final husband. They had no children together.

Relationships Between Delmarva Peninsula Families

The early deaths and remarriages among Sussex County planters made for complicated relationships between the close-knit group of families there. Genealogists will find many of those families intermarried with the Prettyman family; many of them were neighbors of Thomas Pettyman Junior's grandfather, John Prettyman II, Esquire, when he lived in Accomack, Virginia.

Many of the Prettyman Accomack neighbors (Prettymans, Burtons, Waples, Peppers) had moved to Sussex County around 1700, all around the same time. Most of these family names show up on the plat attached to this profile.

On March 1, 1736, the Sussex County Orphans Court declared:^{[3] [4]}

"Thomas Pritiman, son of Thomas Prettiman (dec'd), who married Comfort Burton, daughter and one of exectrx of Robt. Burton (dec'd), recd in full from Paul [sic] William Waples (who intermarried with one of the daughters late of Robt. Burton Senr. (decd.) legacy bequeathed to the afsd by last will & testmant of the afsd Robt. Burton (decd.)."

By 1734, as a young man, Thomas Jr. was living south of Indian River in what was then Baltimore Hd., Somerset Co. Maryland, recorded as "Thomas Briteyman" [Prettyman]. He and his neighbors were listed on the 1734 Tax List there in the following order: Dennis Morris; William, John and Joshua Burton; William Pepper; John Morris; Richard Renolds; Richard Jefferson; Thomas Briteyman [Prettyman]; Ebenezer Jones; Thomas Carey; Thomas West Jr; and Jacob Ingrum [Ingram]. On the 1735 Tax List, he and his neighbors were listed in this order: Thomas Carey, John Morris, Dennis Morris, William Waker, Richard Runnels, Ebenezer Jones, William Radney [Rodney], Thomas Prittyman [Prettyman], James Murray, William Burton, John Burton, Joshua Burton, William Pepper.^[5]

Military Service

In 1749 Thomas Prettyman Jr. was a private along with Thomas Jones, Jobs Ingram, Robert Burton, William Rodney, William Townsend, Thomas West and others in the "Maryland Footmen" [Infantry] under the command of Captain Joseph Dirickson’s Maryland Militia; Ebenezer Jones was a Sergeant in the unit.

"Prettyman, Thomas. Ensign. Served in Capt. Cord Hazzard's Company, Northern District of Indian River Hundred, in the regiment of Sussex County, 1756, and ensign in the Angola District Company on March 18, 1758, during the French and Indian Wars. ^[6]

Marriage and Family

Thomas may have married twice, to Elizabeth Inloe and to another Elizabeth (nee Unknown) Wharton. (See Research Notes for discussion.)

Thomas definitely married Elizabeth Inloe [=Enloe] daughter of Thomas Enloe and Mary Hill. Thomas (and probably/mostly Elizabeth) had an astonishing 17 children, according the Prettyman researcher D. Mitchell Jones.^[7] Note: most of these, as noted, are documented in Thomas Prettyman Jr.'s will:

Shifting Maryland-Delaware Boundaries

The area of Somerset Co. Maryland. where Thomas lived became Worcester Co., Maryland in 1742 and Dagsborough Hundred of Sussex Co., Delaware after the Mason-Dixon survey established definitive boundaries between Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania in 1767. ^[8]

Will of Thomas Prettyman, Jr.

Thomas Prettyman Jr. made his own will on 26 February 1790 in Sussex County, Delaware; probate was on 26 October 1790. As Thomas Prettyman, Planter, he mentions:

• his wife Elizabeth Prettyman;
• sons William, George, Burton, Robert, and Thomas [III] Prettyman; and
• daughters Hessy Prettyman, Comfort Rogers, Ann Morris, Tabitha Morris, Mary Ingram, Patience Noles [Knowles], Sarah Marvel, Agnes Williams and Isabell Pepper.^[9]

In his will, Thomas gave the plantation where he lived to his wife and his son, William, and at his wife’s death it was to be William’s.

He gave George one half of his land on north side of Tusseca Branch, and the other half to Burton.

Robert received one half of land on north side of Horse Pound Branch called "Hog Quarter", and Comfort Rogers received the other half of "Hog Quarter".

He appointed his wife, Elizabeth, and his son, William, his executors. (NOTE: It is possible that Thomas had two sons not mentioned in his will.)^{[10][11] [12]} Some long quotations about the Prettyman family are on various WikiTree Prettyman profiles when copied (with Mitch's permission) by Chet Snow.

Thomas had married Elizabeth Inloe [=Enloe] daughter of Thomas Enloe & Mary Hill. Thomas Enloe died before his estate's inventory on 17 May 1735, which also shows that Mary (Hill) Enloe had remarried to her second husband, William Rodney, by then. Thomas Inloe/Enloe first appeared on the tax lists of Baltimore Hundred DE in 1727 and was there 1728-1731. On April 26, 1762, Tabitha "Inloss" (daughter of Thomas Inloss [sic=Enloe]), Thomas Prettyman and Elizabeth Prettyman (also a daughter of Thomas "Inloss") sold to William Rodney their interest in 100 acres of land called "What You Please". [Wm Rodney had married their mother Mary Hill, widow of Thomas Prettyman Sr.]

Thomas Prettyman Jr.'s Lands

Thomas Prettyman Jr. possessed a large estate. In 1741 he patented a tract of land in Somerset County, Maryland, called "White Oak Hill Enlarged" which contained 50 acres at that time. After the settlement of the Lord Baltimore-William Penn boundary dispute, on the eve of the American Revolution, it was found to be in Delaware, about three miles south of Georgetown. On 26 June 1776 Thomas Jr. received a Sussex Co., Delaware, land warrant for it.^[13]

The land where the Alms House stood, south of Georgetown, was a part of his estate. [p49] From "The Prettyman Family" by Rev. Hubert Prettyman, in "The Prettyman File".

On May 2, 1750, Thomas sold "Corn Bury," the 200 acres of land he had inherited from his father. He purchased as "Thomas Prettyman of Worcester Co., MD," 53 acres of land called "Waples Desire" in Indian River Hundred, Sussex Co., Delaware from William Waples. The purchase was made on August 2, 1758, and the land bordered land granted to Thomas Prettyman Sr., Thomas Jr.’s father; "Cheat" and John Holmes.

"Thomas Prettyman of Worcester Co., MD," on August 3, 1758, sold to William Waples the 112 acres granted to his father in Sussex County.

2 Aug 1758: Deed. Thomas Prettyman, of County Worcester in Maryland, sold to William Waples of Sussex, land north of Indian River. 112 acres granted Thomas Prettyman Sr., father of aforesaid Thomas Prettyman.^[14]

3 Aug 1762: Rees Woolf of Sussex Co., Yeoman & Comfort, his wife, a daughter of Robert Burton, late Sussex Co., dec'd deeded to Thomas Prettyman of Sussex Co for love and affection. They have said Prettyman is son of aforesaid Comfort. Their interest land Indian River Hd.. ^[15]

Laid out by 3 division 1730... Paul Waples & his wife Patience took southern-most division of 408 1/2 acres. ^[16]

On August 3, 1762, Rees Woolf of Sussex, Yeoman, and Comfort (Burton) Woolf, his wife, a daughter of Robert Burton [& mother of Thomas Prettyman Jr.], deeded to Thomas Prettyman [Jr.] their interest in all lands in Sussex County. This land per deed was part of 1100 acres of land formerly owned by Robert Burton and willed by Robert to his daughter Comfort and her two children, Thomas Jr. and Elizabeth Prettyman. The deed also states that Robert was father of Comfort and grandfather to her two children, Thomas Jr. and Elizabeth Prettyman.

Thomas Prettyman Sr. [sic], of Worcester Co., MD, deeded to his son, Thomas Pretyman, Jr. [sic], of Sussex Co., Delaware, "for love and affection and better maintenance and livehood [livelihood]," 128 acres of land in Indian River Hundred, Sussex County on September 7, 1763.^[17]

On March 1, 1765, Thomas Jr. sold to Burton Waples the land he had inherited from his grandfather Robert Burton. On February 28, 1776, Thomas Jr. was granted 94 acres of land called "Good Luck" in Sussex County adjoining on east side of "White Oak Hill".

On June 4, 1776, there was granted to "Thomas Prettyman, late of Worcester Co., MD," a resurvey of "White Oak Hill" now to be called "White Oak Hill Enlarged" for an additional 50 acres, making in all 150 acres. This land bordered "Kenny’s Luck" and land of Robert Prettyman (See Plat 3). Thomas’ land was on Tussocky Branch [now Almshouse Branch] and Horse Pound Swamp Ditch, which flows eastward into Stockley Branch, which in turn empties into Cow Bridge Branch below Morris Millpond. Cow Bridge Branch flows south to Millsboro and is the boundary between Indian River Hundred and Dagsborough Hundred, Sussex, DE. [Rev.] Hubert Prettyman describes Thomas Jr.'s’ land as being in the area "south of the Sussex Prison land and before 1809 the County Almshouse land."^[18]

"Whereas Comfort Prittyman [Prettyman] & her two children with Thomas Prettyman [Sr.]: Thomas Prettyman [Jr.] and Elizabeth Prettyman, became invested in right by will of Robert Burton {dec'd.}, father of aforesaid Comfort Prettyman & grandfather to her two children aforesaid...Said Paull Waples purchased of Thomas Walker & Comfort his wife and daughter of said Robert Burton decd & of ye said Thomas & Elizabeth Pretyman & ye said two sisters Sarah & Ann... Laid out by 3 division 1730... Paul Waples & his wife Patience took southern-most division of 408 1/2 acres."^[19]

In 1778 Richard Prettyman was on the "Dagsberry" Hundred [sic = Dagsborough] tax list, and in 1779 Rees or Reese Prettyman was on the 1779 "Dagsberry" tax list with Thomas P. Jr. and his sons Robert and George Prettyman. Thomas Jr.’s son William Prettyman did not appear on on the "Dagsberry" Hundred tax list until 1783.

Rease [Rees] Prettyman served as a Private in 1782 in the Delaware Regiment in the American Revolution. It is possible that Rease was killed during the war. Thomas’ son William named a son Richard and a son Rease. Did he do this because they both were a few years older than he was and they were still at home with him when he was a young boy? Then when he was married and had sons he wanted to honor his dead brothers. In those times, families often kept alive the memory of deceased children or siblings this way.

Thomas Prettyman Jr.'s widow, Elizabeth Prettyman, on February 10, 1792, made a deed of gift to 3 daughters: Agnes Coffin, wife of Nehemiah Coffin; Eby [Isabell] Pepper, wife of Eli Pepper; and Hester Warren, wife of Kendle Warren, at the death of Elizabeth and to Joseph Wharton. She deeded to her daughters eight horned cattle; three beds and furniture, one horse; twelve sheep; seven hogs; seven pigs and 24 pounds cash. Elizabeth may have only been providing for her youngest children, but she did not single them out by age. (See Elizabeth Prettyman Deed to Daughters under Research Notes)

Research Notes

Elizabeth Prettyman Deed to Daughters: This deed of gift raises the question: was she a different Elizabeth than Elizabeth Enloe (i.e., a 2nd wife)? Thomas Prettyman Jr. also named his youngest son, William, as an administrator of his estate instead of one of his older sons, and it appears that Thomas had a good relationship with his older sons because he deeded them land, etc. By naming William as an administrator of his estate, was he insuring that the children by his second wife would be provided for after he died? No documents exist to prove or disprove this speculation. Officially, Thomas Prettyman Jr. had just one wife: Elizabeth (Enloe/Inloss) Prettyman. However, a second possible spouse, Elizabeth Unknown Wharton is attached to this profile, and should probably remain there until the second-wife theory becomes proven or disproven.

Questions about 17 Offspring: If Elizabeth Enloe was the mother of all of Thomas’ childre, then she had seventeen living children. That would seem difficult, but not impossible, for one woman in the 1700’s. Thus, it is plausible that Thomas was married at least two times. The Woolf (aka Wolfe) family used the given names Rees and Reece, and could Thomas' widow, Elizabeth, have been a Woolf? Richard and Reece were certainly not Prettyman names in this time period. Thomas Jr. had an opportunity to meet the Wolfe family as the families of Francis, Warrington and William Wolfe (Woolf) also attended St. George Episcopal Church in Indian River Hundred, alongside the Prettymans and Burtons, in 1700’s. The Wolfe connection is just a theory, and Thomas could have named a son, Rees or Rease, after his stepfather, Rees Woolf. His stepfather had grandsons, Reece and Richard Paynter, by his daughter, Mary (Woolf) Paynter.
