    • Chalk Family of England & America: 1066-1942

      In the Chalk Family book, page 68, Jacob Rutledge and two others have been bonded to serve as administrators in the estate of John Chalk on 25 Sep 1810. On pages 77 and 78 a number of dees passed from Chocke family members to the Rutledges including: Bennett Chocke to John W Rutledge in 1826, 1827, and 1828; John, George, Tudor, Mary, Margaret, and Sarah Chocke to Abraham Rutledge in 1784; and Tudor Chalk to Jacob Rutledge in 1814. On page 80 reference is made to a note received from Oran Lee Chalk dated April 1942 that gave the following information: "In the history of Harford County, Maryland, Charles Bakers Company No. 15, Maryland Militia, raised to fight the British for freedon, in the roster under date of January 27, 1776, we find the names of John Chalk and George Chalk." In this same history by Preston: "Ruffs Chance was one half a square mile in area and was patented in 1714 by Richard Ruff. Part of the house near Upper Cross Roads was occupied by John Randolph Rutledge and was erected before the time of the Revolution when the property was purchased by Abraham Rutledge, (father of Ignatius Wheeler?). The house was built by a man named Jacob Rutledge who married Monica, daughter of Colonel Chalk. Incidentally, the Rutledges, Hollands, and Stephensons were related." John Rutledge transported himself to this country in 1640." In Preston History of Harford County, Maryland, 1901. Ruffs Chance was one square mile in area and was patented in 1714 by Richard Ruff. Part of the house near upper Cross Roads now occupied by Mr. John Randolph Rutledge, was erected before the time of the Revolution when the property was purchased by Abraham Rutledge, father of Ignatius Wheeler. The house was built by a man named Jacob Rutledge, who married Monica, daughter of Col. Chalk. The name as shown in the book is Col. Ignatius Wheeler. Further on in the history of Col. Wheeler it says: The farm called Garden Spot, belonging to the late Joshua Rutledge, near the rocks of Deer Creek, belonged to Col. Wheeler who was an ancestor of Mr. Rutledge. John Rutledge was a member of the Grand Jury 1798, Overseer from Thos. Bonds on the Little falls of the Gunpowder to upper Cross Roads. William Rutledge enrolled by Lieut. Asell Hitchcock, July 25, 1776. Col. Ignatius Wheeler, a very prominent man in Harford County, who liveed on his estate called Deer Park. He was first Lieutenant of Comp 16, Harford Militia. Besides Deer Park, Col. Wheeler owned the estate called Belle Farm. A large portion of the Belle Farm is now owned by the Jenkins and McAtee families, who are direct descendants of Col. Wheeler. In the Maryland legislature of 1786, 1787 Col. Wheeler was one of the delegates from Harford County. He died on his estate, Deer Park, August 1793 and his will is dated dated July 13, 1793. Recorded in office Register of Wills, Harford County, Liber., A. J. R. Folio, 217. His children were Monica, who married Jacob Rutledge, whose decendants are now living in Harford County. Rutledges, Stephensons, and Hollands. John W. Rutledge and Ignatius Rutledge were her sons. Anopther child Teresa married Capt. Henry McAtee, Henrietta remained single. Mary Ann (Polly) married Samuel Brown who after her death married her sister Elizabeth. In Maryland Colonial Statistics & Judices compiled by Annie Walker Burns, Annapolis, Maryland, 1936, page 39, Will of John Chalk, September 8, 1776, wife Castor, son-in-law William Crandle-to my children-probated October 20, 1777. Same source-Will to my sister, Margaret Chalk. Same authority-John Chocke Baltimore County 1765-1766. John Rutledge Baltimore Co. 1763. Hannah Rutledge Baltimore Co. 1765. John Caulk Kent County. John Choke, Ann Arundel County 1744. I can find no evidence that links Monica Rutledge nee Wheeler, daughter of Ignatius Wheeler Jr. to the Chalk Family. References here that she is the daughter of Col Chalk must be incorrect and the person suggesting that probably meant Col. Wheeler.
