Ra9 Urath* Randall


    Urath Randall was the daughter of Justice Thomas Randall (Ra10)  and Hannah Bale (Ba10)
    married Samuel Owings (Ow9) on 1 January 1729/30 at St. Thomas Parish in Baltimore County. It was her sixteenth birthday. They resided on 286 acre "Green Spring Punch" in Baltimore County, and owned additional land in the County.[24] Samuel died in 1775.

    Urath appeared in the first United States census, 1790, as head of her household in Upper Black River Hundred, Baltimore County. It consisted of one white male over the age of sixteen, two white females (one of them Urath herself) and twelve enslaved people.

    Urath died in her eightieth year on 15 December 1793. In her will, signed 26 November 1792 she gave her son Samuel his father's cane, and her grand daughter Urath Owings twelve pictures. (I wonder what has become of them over the generations?) She mentioned her children: Samuel, Thomas, Richard, Rachel STEVENSON, Urath Lawrence, and Hannah STONE; and some of her grandchildren: Urath CROMWELL, Urath Owings, Ruth Owings (widow of Samuel), Urath Stevenson, Elizabeth Lawrence, Deborah HOWARD, and Beal Owings (son of Christopher). A codicil on 6 January 1793 added 14-year-old granddaughter Martha Stone.[25]

Richard was a farmer, miller, and merchant who took over the Warfield mill after Joshua's death. Holland says he bought his father-in-law's mill at Simpsonville on the Middle Patuxent River in 1795 and changed its name to Owings Mill. The village became known as Owingsville. His house, built in 1776, still stands. Richard signed the oath of fidelity 6 June 1776 and was appointed Capt. of Soldiers' Delight Battalion of the Baltimore Co. Militia, fought in the Revolution, and resigned 1779. Richard served in the Lower House in 1789, 1790. His estate was valued at $69,139.08 and included 25 slaves, $52 worth of silver, over $1000 worth of flour at the mills. The estate was not settled until 1842, with a final balance of $10,468.33, not including his wife's estate and various bequests that were paid out.[33]

    (Ow8-12) Rebecca Owings, b. 21 Oct. 1755; m. ca. 1775 Joshua A. Howard.[34]



    The name Urath, Urith or Urithe is a singularly unusual name which I have only seen elsewhere in the Palgrave pedigree. Here it enters the family with the marriage of John Palgrave of Norwood or Nothwood Bemingham Norwood Barningham b 1530-1, bur 28.05.1611 to Urith Saunder bur 29.07.1600, dau of William Saunder of Ewell. We also see a daughter and a granddaughter of this coupled bearing the same name.
    The way names run in families it is not wrong to suspect a connection between Urath Randall and one of these Palgrave Uriths.
    But the name also shows up a few times among Exeter marriage licenses in 1582 and thereafter.
