About Caleb Dorsey, Sr.
Among other generous bequests to his children (most of the land he had already put in trust for them), is Item - To daughter Elinor Lynch, who for her disobedience, I exclude from any part of my estate, five shilling Sterling.
The inventory of his estate included 21 Russia leather chairs, 21 napkins, 2 cases knives and forks and 34 slaves.
He was deeded Hockley in the Hole by his father. He owned thousands of acres in Anne Arundel Co. and lots in Annapolis, Maryland, as well.
From Anne Arundel Gentry, p. 10:
Edward Dorsey II before 1683 assigned to his brother, John, his portion of 400 acres for 24,000 lbs. Tobacco. Joshua, the second son, had conveyed his portion of "Hockley" for 8,000 lbs. Tobacco. In 1685 Caleb Dorsey, son of John, had the plantation resurveyed and found that it contained 843 acres instead of the original 400.
