[Diana Noel.ged] Richard was born in 1683 in Baltimore Co., Marylalnd. He married on 7 Dec. 1704, Quaker Meeting house (Friends Records), Baltimore Co., Maryland. He resided at Gist's Rest and later moved to the tract called Brother's Good Will. He was: Captain of militia, planter, County Justice, Commissioner. He was listed as a surveyor who laid out Baltimore. NOTE: Three of his sons married women whose last name was Howard. They were sisters. Deposition made in 1732; gave his age as about 49 years. Baltimore Co., Maryland Land Commissions, H.W.S. No. 3, p. 172 Hall of Records, Annapolis. FAMILY MARRIAGE SOURCE NOTES: Friend's Records, Baltimore, Maryland, Book 116, pp. 30-31. INDIVIDUAL DEATH SOURCE NOTES; St Paul's Parish Register. Richard Gist was seven years old when his father died. In March, 1692/93, his mother gave him a negro to be delivered to him at the age of sixteen. On Feb. 21, 1693, as son and heir of Christopher Gist, deceased, Richard Gist received from Thomas Hammond of Baltimore Co., and Rebecca, his wife, late relict and legatee of Thomas Lightfoot deceased, a tract of 225 acres called Gist's Rest, 100 acres of which was in the possession of John Beecher, and his wife, Edith late widow of Christopher Gist, deceased. This land was part of a tract called Rebecca's Delight, lying on Curtis Creek and adjoining South Canton. (Balt. Co. Md. Court Proceedings, Liber F. No. 2, p. 360: Deeds R.M. No. H.S., p. 417, Hall of Records, Annapolis). After the death of his mother in 1794, Richard Gist lived with his uncle, Richard Cromwell, who had a store in his plantation home. During these years he probably learned something about the mercantile business, the keeping of accounts, and the methods of trading with the English merchants, who sent their ships to the shores of the Patapsco River. When Richard Cromwell died in 1717, he left 30 pounds sterling and a gold ring to Richard Gist, and two negroes to his daughter, Edith, and his wife, Zipporah Gist. (Balt. Co. Md. Court Proceedings, Liber G. No. 1, 379; Wills 14, p. 396, Hall of Records, Annapolis). The permission of Richard Gist and Zipporah Murray to marry is recorded in the West River Minutes, 10-1-1704, as follows: "The young man produced a certificate (of consent) from Thomas Cromwell, his uncle and Guardian signifying his and his wife's consent and the young woman's mother ... and her children .." The marriage took place on the "seventh day of the tenth month called December 1704" at a meeting house of the people called Quakers in Baltimore County on the south side of the Patapsco River. (Friend's Records, Baltimore, Md. Bk. 116, pp. 30-31 . Richard Gist and his wife lived on Gist's Rest after their marriage. On Sept. 10, 1705, he called himself "carpenter of Baltimore County" in a deed in which he conveyed this land to Richard Cromwell. (Balt. Co. Md. Deeds I.R. No. P.P., pp. 192-194, Hall of Records, Annapolis). On July 6, 1711, Josephus Murray of Baltimore Co., gave to his sister, Zipporah Gist, wife of Richard Gist, 100 acres out of Counterscarpe, which he called Brother's Good Will. This land became their home. On Oct. 31, 1724, Josephus Murray conveyed to Richard Gist another 100 acres of Counterscarpe, adjoining Brother's Good Will on the west, which was called Addition to Brother's Goodf Will. (Balt. Co. Md. Deeds T.R. No. A., pp. 140-141; Deeds I.S. No. H., p. 69, Hall of Records, Annapolis). Brother's Good Will, the dwelling plantation of Richard Gist, was located on Garrison Ridge, someties called Garrison Forest. This region, which included the hills and ridges about the hedwaters of Jones Falls, took its name from the Garrison built there when the first settlers moved onto the land. The fort was erected by the Baltimore County Rangers whose duty it was to patrol the frontier country in order to prevent the Indians from raiding the settlement. According to the map of early surveys prepared by William B. Marye of Baltimore, Brother's Good Will was about a mile east of Pikesville on the north side of the road and adjacent to the Old Court Road, and a short distance east of the junction of the Old Court Road and Garrison Road. (William B. Mayre, "The Old Indian Road," Maryland Historical Magazine, XV (Sept. 1920), 210-215) . Richard Gist became an extensive landowner in Baltimore County. Turkey Cock Hall, a tract of 200 acres on Jones Falls wes grantged to him in 1707. He and his wife, Zipporah, conveyed parts of this land to Thomas Taylor and Edward Reston. On July 9, 1710, they sold to Joseph Conway the tract known as Lowe's Neck, which Richard Gist had inherited from his father. Zipporah Gist signed these deeds with her mark - a capital Z. (Patents P.L. No. 2, P. 166, Land Office, Annapolis: Deeds T.R. No. R.A., p. 443, Deeds T.R. No. A., pp. 177, 238, Hall of Records, Annapolis). He also owned several adjacent tracats near Garrison Ridge - Adventure, containint 725 acres, which he purchased from Francis Street, and later enlarged by resurvey in 1726; Green Spring Traveerse of 300 acres, surveyed from him, Jan. 15, 1719; and Addition to Green Spring Traverse of 190 acres surveyed March 31, 1721. (Patents P.L. No. 7, pp. 157, 629; E.I. No. 4, p. 338, Land Office, Annapolis) Gist's Search of 400 acres and Gist's Lime Pits, containing 249 acres, were surveyed for him in 1725 and 1733. (Patents P.L. No. 6, p. 41; P.L. No 8, p. 790, Land Office, Annapjolis). For other information about lands see p. 6 of "Christopher Gist and Some of His Descendants" by Dorsey & Dorsey. Richard Gist held a number of public offices. On March 2, 1727/28, he was appointed one of the Justices and Commissioners of Baltimore Co., which position he held until his death. From Feb. 1, 1735, he was presiding Justice, and during the last two years of his life he represented his county in the Provincial Assembly. (Arch. Md. XL, 508,574; XLII, 93, 117, 192, 234). He played an important part in selecting the site and in laying out the town of Baltimore. His knowledge of the country, the rivers and harbors, and his experience asa a merchant, magistrate and surveyor in Baltimore Co., made him an extremely valuable lperson. In 1726, he was employed by Mr. Edward Fell to survey Cole's Harbor on the present site of Baltimore. His survey showed three buildings, a mill, tobacco houses and orchards on the tract. He also stated that the land was "about one-half cleared and of middling quality." This same year he became deputy-surveyor of the Western Shore of Maryland. (John T. Scharf, Cronicles of Baltimore (1874), pp. 18, 20). For more on this see page 7 of "Christopher Gist and Some of His Descendants" by Dorsey & Dorsey. The records of the March Court of 1736 held at the town of Joppa, Baltimore Co., indicates that Richard Gist had been made Captain of County Militia. His name was written Captain Richard Gist, Gentleman Justice. (Balt. Co. Md. Court Proceedings, Liber H.W.S. No. I.A., p 357, Hall of Records, Annapolis). On Sept. 4, 1736, he was one of the leaders of the Maryland Militia, which invaded Pennsylvania in the dispute between the two colonies brought about by Thomas Cresap and concerning their mutual boundary. He also served as intermediary between the unfortunate German settlers caught in the dispute, and Governor Ogle of Maryland, (Pa. Arch. (1), I. 526; Pa. Col. Rec. IV, l63, 67; Arch. Md. XXViii, 100). Richard Gist died intestate in Aug. 1741. His eldest son, Christopher Gist, served as administrator of his estate. (Balt. Co. Md. Accounts 20, p. 4555, Hall of Records, Annapolis). An inventory of the goods and chattels of Mr. Richard Gist of Baltimore Co., deceased, included such items as: wearing apparell, 3 gold rings, 2 pr shoe buckles, 1 knee and 1 stock buckle, a silver watch, silverware, china, glasses, furniture, pair of Specticles, 7 wigg-Caules, brass mortar and pestle, brass warming pan, sword and belt, parcell of books, cattle, horses, hogs, feed, farm equipment, ten negroes, and Will Taylor a Barber 3 mos to serve, a sailing boat with Rigging and sails etc... Value L890/9/3. His inventory was signed by Nath Gist and Thos Gist as nearest of kin. (Balt. Co. Md. Original Inventory, Box 9, Folder 49, Hall of Records, Annapolis). The real estate was divided between his widow, Zipporah Gist, and her oldest son, Christopher, as heir at law, probably inherited the largest share. The records show that he made several conveyances of land to some of his sisters and brothers. From "Christopher Gist and Some of His Descendants" by Dorsey. [Anita Orr.ged] [Jeff Orr.ged] Captain Richard Gist b. 1683 Richard was born in 1683 in Baltimore Co., Marylalnd. He married on 7 Dec. 1704, Quaker Meeting house (Friends Records), Baltimore Co., Maryland. He resided at Gist's Rest and later moved to the tract called Brother's Good Will. He was: Captain of militia, planter, County Justice, Commissioner. He was listed as a surveyor who laid out Baltimore. I found another listing for Richard with the same wife and it has him being born in 1684. NOTE: Three of his sons married women whose last name was Howard. They were sisters.

[Jim Kyle] [Anita Orr.ged] [Jeff Orr.ged] [oneline.ged] [Diana Noel.ged] Downloaded from Jim Kyle's database at the Rootsweb WorldConnectproject. There still seems to be alot of discussion about the parents of this Christopher... I believe that the source for all misinformation that Christopher Gist's parents were Christopher Gist/Guest and Anne Washington was "The Horn Papers," which have been discredited. See here: http://www.maxhuff.com/issueno5.htm Many thanks to those at http://genforum.genealogy.com/gist/ whotogether have proven that this Christopher Gist's parents were NOTChristopher Gist and Anne Washington. Christopher & Edith Cromwell Gist emigrated to Maryland before 1679, settling on the Patapsco River. Christopher owned plantations named South Canton and Rebecca's Delight. He was a member of the Church of England. Bond dated 3/7/1681/2: Planter Robert Clarkson of Severn River obligated himself to Christopher Gift and Richard Cromwell, planters of Patapsco River, for 20,000 lbs. of tobacco, as security for proformance and covenants concerning 245 acres sold, and for acknowledging of sale.

[oneline.ged] [Diana Noel.ged] [Anita Orr.ged] [Jeff Orr.ged] Curt Sytsma, January 17, 1999 <curt.ellen@worldnet.att.net>. Theories that Edith Gist (dau. of Richard Gist and Zipporah Murray) was a descendant of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658, The Lord Protector of England; from the Hichen Brook CROMWELLs) are popular and pervasive, but unproven. Worse than unproven, they are debunked. It is most likely that Edith was a descendant of the Cromwell family of Malmesbury, England. Edith md. 2) Joseph Williams, d. 1692; and 3) John BEECHER/BEACHER, d. 1694. She had one child, Richard Gist. 1694 May 23; Will of Edith BEACHER of Baltimore Co., Maryland, her brother, Richard Cromwell, and Thomas STALY, are to put her son Richard Gist in merchants school and look after her son until he is 21. Signed Edith BEACHER. Wit: Anna OLTON, Dan PALMER and Elinor x FLOYD. (John Davis, Baltimore Co., Maryland, Deed Records, Vol. 1, p.44) "[Edith] was the sister of Richard, William, and John Cromwell, early emigrants to the Province of Maryland. This relationship is shown in various deeds and wills. In 1680, Edith witnessed the will of her brother, William Cromwell (Balt. Co. Md. Original Wills, Box 1, Folder 29, Hall of Records, Annapolis). The signature of Edith and her son, Richard, show that they spelled their family name as Gist. Different spellings in the records are due to mistakes of clerks." - Dorsey book.
