Robert TEVIS (ca. 1709, MD - will pr. 25 Oct. 1796) was son of Robert TEVIS & Susannah DAVIES, m. 15 Apr. 1707, All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel Co., MD. Robert (Jr.) was 76 in 1785, per land record WG:X:137, Baltimore Co. His wife Margaret died by 1783, Balto. Deed WG:0:207.
Robert's eldest son was apparently Peter, b. 173_, who was of age by Oct. 1762, per land record.
Daughter Anne, b. ca. 1737? m1. 27 Mar. 1757, St. Thomas, Balto.Co., Francis WELLS, who d. 1769; m2. Thomas LANE (26 Je. 1737 - 1787).
There was a daughter Susanna, named in her father's will. Some think she m. Joseph WELLS, but that Susanna was deceased before Robert TEVIS made his will.
Wm. A. PORTER's book, Descendants of Peter Porter, Emigrant of 1621, says that children of Robert TEVIS included Delilah, who m. ca. 1766, Adam PORTER (ca. 1742 - 1823+). Delilah had five brothers and sixteen sisters. Twelve sisters and their husbands had a Christmas dinner together at the home on the Patapsco near Baltimore. Husbands included ARMSTRONG & HAMMOND, besides those that have been identified. Robert TEVIS sold land, 25 Sep. 1740, to Nathan HAMMOND. This has led some to believe that Robert married Margaret HAMMOND [not proven].
The willl of Robert TEVIS, 1796, Maryland, was witnessed by F. SNOWDEN. Snoden (1801 - 27 Dec. 1853, Moniteau Co., MO) had a grandson named Snowden. However, the tombstone and his father's will spelled his first name Snoden.
