3.  Robert W. Barnes.  1989.  Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759.  Genealogical Publ. Co., Baltimore, MD (Broderbund CD-195):

Co. by March 1662/3 when he assigned 200 a. called Nashes Creek (that he had from John Collett) to Thomas Muntross; later [actually, earlier] Walter Dickenson conv. him 450 a.

Barnes certainly makes a lot of typos with his dates.  He made another one in the entry for Nicholas CORBIN.  I'm going to go with 1676 (two out of three) for the death date of Abraham (and the "death by" date of Sarah).  Mary was obviously married to William by 1690, not 1694, so she must have been born bef. 1675.  I certainly would like to know the basis of the "married by" date for Elizabeth and which one is correct.  Anybody know?
