According to family lore, William Logsdon was working on his farm in 1702. When he saw a British ship anchored in the Patapsco River and decided to 'inspect' its cargo. Part of the 'cargo' was Honora O'Flynn who had been kidnapped by the British from the coast of Ireland and brought to Maryland by a sea captain for barter.
She was bought by William Logsdon and later became his wife. She is said to have been kidnapped on the Southern coast of Ireland and is known in Logsdon family lore as the "Captive Maiden" while William was known as the "Indentured Servant."
In the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, Vol. 15: Several documents state that Honora was kidnapped from Ireland by pirates and brought to Maryland where she was sold as an indentured servant.
