Ann Queeney is the daughter of Sutton Queeney and Ann (?). The mother Ann (?) had 4 husbands. Ann was married 4 times, but I have not been able to prove her maiden name.
1st ca 1652 Robert Smith (Sr) d. 1660 and had 4 children (William may not be hers but is a son of Robert)
2nd ca 1661 John Ayres d. ca 1663 did not likely have children by him.
3rd ca 1664 Sutton Queeney d. 1669 had 3 children by him
4th ca 1670 Richard Pullen d. 1687 did not likely have children by him but he had a dau. Ann.
See family and records cited in "The Queeney Family" article in British Roots of Maryland Families by Robert Barnes p 367 Sutton Queeny m. Ann, widow of Robert Smith.
1633 Robert Smyth transported in 1633-4 ABH p. 37. He married Rose Gilbert widow of Richard Gilbert. He received a license to marry Rose Gilbert 4 p. 193.
1637 The Ark passenger Robert Smith, by marrying Rose Gilbert, acquired the Gilbert land in Talbot County, MD (the intention - Archives, vol. 4, p.51). He evidently was not interested in civic or political affairs. In 1637/38, Francis Rabinet held his proxy. In 1641, it was Thomas Baldridge and in 1642, Thomas Cornwalleys. All this while living in St. Mary's Hundred. Rose Smith was living as late as 1658, when she, her husband and William Ashbiston were summoned to court (Archives, vol 41, pp. 129, 157). On documents, Rose Gilbert Smith signed her name, whereas her husband Robert as well as Richard Gilbert made their mark. (Rose must have died and he married Ann 2nd)
1649 PATENT: In 1649/50, 550 acres on the Patuxent were laid out for Robert Smith, but apparently never patented. In 1659, he was granted 600 aces on the east side of the Chesapeake Bay on St. Michael's River and Morgan Creek (Patents, Liber 4, folio 220). This was re-affirmed in 1666 (Patents, Liber 10, folio 221) which was called "Smeath" and on which he finally settled and which finally fell into Talbot County.
1657 WILL: A Richard Quiney of St. Stephen Wallbrook, London who had land in Virginia left probate to son Richard Quiney (Jan. 1657) from Wills in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 1610-1857. He left the land in VA to his son Thomas. (Could this be a father/grandfather of Sutton?)
1658 WILL: Robert Smith (Sr) made his Will the 7th ____1658-1660?? and it was proven 26 February 1660/1. He named "sonne, John, sonne Wilham, one hundred akers of Land lying by the Indian Tone [town]; alsoe I give unto my Sonne, Wilham, my great gunne & the pip mold with the furniture belonging unto them; wife Anne Smyth,... my three youngest children the half of my Estate ..the other halfe of my Estate to my Sonnes, John & Wilham, when they come of age..Sonne Wilham remaine & worke for his Mother untill he is fourteene yeares of aige..Aires shall have as much Land as ...[and] a servant or two shall make ..soe to doe. Furthermore John Aires & Winsaint Cokes [Vincent Cox] overseers". John Tucker, by oath, proved the Will. On the same date Anne Smith, his widow, confirmed unto Thomas Roe a "parcell of land" lying in Chotanck Creeke against John Hull, sold by Robert Smith to William Cornish and from Cornish to Roe. (Note: If Robert's son, William Smith, born in 1644 by his own deposition, were not yet 14 years of age when Robert made his Will, then this Will was drawn before 1658 not 1660.)
