Biography

He was born about 1696 in Maryland and his parents were Elizabeth (Giles) and John Waters, Sr. (c1638-c1703).

John Waters married about 1722 in All Hallow's Parish, Anne Arundel County, Maryland to Mary Charity Ijams or Liams, daughter of Elizabeth (Plummer) and William Ijams, whose parental estate lay in the vicinity of "The Forks". They had about 14 children.

On obtaining his majority he came into possession through his father's estate a portion of "Water's Lotte," where he established his seat.

Some time before 1733, they settled across the Patuxent River in Prince George's County. [1]

He made his last Will in 1764.

He died on 22 May 1771 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland and was buried at Anderson and Waters Cemetery, Patuxent Research Refuge, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. [2]

His Will was probated in 1771 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The dwelling and plantation as well as 76 acres of "Addition to Water's Lotte" and the personal estate were all devised to his wife, Mary, during her widowhood. On her death or remarriage the dwelling and plantation were to revert to their son, Josephus Waters. At the death of his widow, the personal estate was to be divided among the eleven surviving children.

On 21 August 1772, the executor, Josephus Waters, performed the distribution of the estate which was divided among William, John, Joseph, Jacob, Philip, Josephus, Plummer, Elizabeth Penn, Charity Waters, and Miriam Waters. [3]
