There was much intermarriage between this branch of the Gouldsmiths and the Colletts, who also moved to Maryland from Virginia. The wife of George Gouldsmith II was Mary Collett; George's bother Matthew married Elizabeth Collett; and his sister Elizabeth married first John Collett, second Henry Hazlewood, and third Miles Gibson. John Gouldsmith is named brother-in-law in the will of John Collett in 1670. [There was a John Gouldsmith in St. Mary's as well as Baltimore County. John Gouldsmith and Mary Longo were married 13 Nov 1660 in Northampton County, Va. See Maryland Land Office, 6, 347, Hall of Records for John Gouldsmith and Philip Hawkins to Md. in 1663.] Samuel Gouldsmith had bequeathed "my part of the great boart" to Mary Gouldsmith, who was probably the widow of George Gouldsmith II, although he also had a sister and daughter named Mary. When George II died in 1666, in his will he named wife Mary, son George, daughters Elizabeth and Mary, uncle Samuel Gouldsmith, brother Matthew Gouldsmith, brothers-in-law Samuel Collett and John Collett. His widow married second Samuel Boston, who named in his will "son-in-law" (stepson) George, and "daughter-in-law" (probably George's wife) Mary Gouldsmith.

I am researching "Atrop", as it was for a time in the possesion of my ancestor, Richard Perkins. I am guessing the plant Belladonna grew there, as the poison made from it is called atrop. The spelling of the parcel name changed to "Eightrup" or "Eightropp".

There's a page here for Eightrupp if you want to add to it - that would be great. I think each of us finds little pieces that when put together can make a more complete and interesting story. Thanks for joining!
