• Notes

  Citation InformationTranscript JOHN SOPER (Maryland to Missouri) John Soper (c1656-1742/3) migrated to America from England about 1676, and settled in Calvert County which in part became Prince Georges County. By 1696, John was a civil officer signing a communication to the king, "congratulating your majesty of your deliverance from the horrid designed assassination against your sacred person". William III, William of Orange, ruled from 1650-1702. John reportedly married Mary Yates, who probably died before 1742. John's will dated November 9, 1742, and probated April 11, 1743, indicates his time of death and lists his children: John; Robert; Esther (Duvall); Mary (James); Phillis/Phillice (Lowe); Leah; Jemima; and names grandsons, John and Robert Soper, children of an unknown, deceased son. In addition, Mrs. Belle Napoli, Rockville, Maryland, lists children: Acquilla (Shaw); Lucy (Lashly); and Priscilla Soper.
