"The first Ennalls to arrive in Maryland was Bartholomew, who came form York Co, VA, where about 1660, he married Mrs Mary Heyward, widow of Francis Heyward, by whom she had two sons, Francis and John Heyward.
In the land Office Records at Annapolis, MD, date of 10 Mar 1669, Bartholomew Ennalls of the County of Dorset proves the right for transporting the following persons out of Virginia to inhabit in this Province, viz: Himself, Mary (his wife), Thomas Ennalls, Bartholomew Ennalls, Mary Ennalls, Francis Heyward and John Heyward (his children), John Nichols, Wm. Ennalls, Wm. Sudlock and Susan Hyde (his servant).
The first tracts of land laid out for Bartholomew Ennalls and his son, Thomas, was "Bartholomew's Range," 420 acres, surveyed 10 Jul 1672, in possession of Thomas Ennalls (see Rent Rolls). Previously, he had purchased of John Edmondson 2,000 acres of land on the Transquaking River by deed, dated 18 Jan 1668, for a sloop and 1,000 pounds of tobacco.
In 1776, Bartholomw Ennalls was appointed Commissioner or County Justice in Dorchester, and was thereafter continually in office, either as Justice or Member of the Assembly, until his death in 1688. The popularity and prominence of the father was inherited by his sons, who became even more influential in county and State affairs. In 1692, his son Thomas was appointed one of the County Justices and reappointed until 1690, when his brother Henry became his assoociate in the County Court of Justice. They were continued in office until 1706, when three of the brothers, Joseph, Henry and Thomas sat in the same County Court.
Very little is known of their private business affairs, but the land records show they were owners of much real estate, and that Thomas Ennalls was a mariner in 1690. While their name is extinct in the county, their blood flows down the Goldsborough line of descent from Robert Goldsborough, barrister, and Elizabeth Goldsborough, the children of Elizabeth (Ennalls) Goldsborough and her husband, Charles Goldsborough - and also through the Hoopers, Muses, Woolfords and other family lines still surviving in the county.
In March, 1688, Bartholomw Ennalls died and mentioned in his will, five sons and two daughters, namely: Thomas, William, Joseph, John and Henry, and daughter Elizabeth who married Major Roger Woolford, and Mary who married Joseph Foster. His sons Thomas and William died without leaving any descendants. Joseph, John and Henry left many sons and daughters; from them have descended branches of the Goldsboroughs, Hoopers, Bayards, Craigs, Sulivanes, Muses, Waggamans and many other prominent families of the country."
