Richard Touchstone

M, #2999, b. 21 May 1657, d. 13 August 1729
Richard Touchstone, born about 1657, was the original immigrant to America of this family. He was one of a group of men and women transported into the province of Maryland by Thomas Taylor who was granted a warrant for 650 acres for this act on 10 Feb 1679/80. Richard Touchstone probably served the customary five years as an indentured servant, then married and settled in Cecil County sometime thereafter on a tract known as Mount Ararat (near Port Deposit). Certain of his sons and grandsons carried the Touchstone name westward to Frederick County, Maryland, to the Carolinas by 1752 and hence across the South.

"Richard Touchstone of undetermined origin (possibly County Cork, Ireland), was born about 1657 (according to his deposition made in 1727), and was first of record in Maryland when, on 10 February 1679/80, Thomas Tailor of Dorchester County was granted a warrant for 650 acres of land for having transported into the Province nine women and four men, including Richard Tutchstone."

" Touchstone, Richard, Sr., planter,Cecil Co., To wife Christian, extx., entire estate during life; at her decease to pass to son Andrew and hrs.; shd. wife survive sd. son, to poss. entire estate absolutely. Test: John Williams, Godfrey Hartsfield, Richard Arindill (Arrindell). 19, 775."

"First , a little background of north Maryland settlement. There was a war between (Wm) Penn and (Lord) Baltimore over access to the Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore sent his cousin Talbot with a conglomeration of men to fight the Penn people. This is found in a very old book of Cecil County history. A man named Richard Touchstone located a cave with little access where Talbot hid when there was a price on his head. Talbot survived when the thing was settled. Richard Touchstone was granted the right to operate a ferry to unite Harford and Cecil County. Saving Talbot's life was very important to the Maryland holdings. When Penn wanted the shipping access to the Chesapeake, Baltimore wanted extension to the 40th parallel (Philadelphia's location). The King of England got tired of the commotion and sent Mason and Dixon to survey. The present boundaries are the result of this work."
