John William Llewellyn and his wife, Frances, settled in No

, Maryland in the mid 1700's. In this county, five childre
n were born to them.
The Llewellyn family were communicants of the Church of Eng
land and worshiped at a small chapel called St. Martin's i
n the little town of Hamilton. They did not approve of th
e American Revolution and believed that the Church of Engla
nd would
not survive in America if the colonists were successful i
n breaking away from England. They were thus considered t
o be Tories.
