Thomas Coomes Occupation: Planter Property: Coomes Purchase, Charles County, MD Religion: Catholic THOMAS COOMES was born Abt. 1695 in Charles County, Maryland, and died January 1753. He married ELIZABETH WHARTON 1719, daughter of JESSE WHARTON and MARY WHARTON. She was born 1699, and died 1772. Thomas Coomes was a planter. Coomes Purchase, his plantation, was on the west side of Portobacco main branch in line of a tract of land called Green's Inheritance, and near the plantation of Alexander Hamilton. This was the home plantation of the Coomes family, and the place where all of Thomas and Elizabeth's children were born. They also had land called Christian Milford in Nanjem Hundred in Charles County, Maryland, relatively close by. In 1719, Coomes' Purchase 100 acres were surveyed for Thomas Coomes. His will was proved January 29, 1753: mentions son, Thomas Wharton Coomes to whom he wills Coomes Purchase; son, Walter, part of Greens Inheritance; son, Bennet, all of my whole and sole right to a part of Greens Inheritance. Four younger sons, Joseph, William, Francis Ignatius, and Walter when they became 18, wife Elizabeth. (All properties were to be held by Elizabeth until her death) Elizabeth Wharton Coomes, wife of Thomas, died in 1772. In addition to the children named above, her will mentions her daughter, Mary Ann Hamilton (wife of James), Ann Smith, Anastasia Hamilton (wife of Joseph). Elizabeth left Christian Milford to sons Thomas Wharton Coomes and Walter Coomes. Notes for ELIZABETH WHARTON: Dr. Jesse Thomas Wharton, father of Elizabeth Wharton Coomes, was commissioned as Deputy Governor of Maryland in 1676 and served in this position until his death. Children of THOMAS COOMES and ELIZABETH WHARTON are: WILLIAM COOMES, b. Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. November 06, 1824, Cox's Creek, Nelson County, Kentucky. MARY ANN COOMES, b. 1726, Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. 1785. BENEDICT "BENNET" COOMES, b. Abt. 1720, Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. Bef. 1767. THOMAS WHARTON COOMES, b. Abt. 1716, Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. Abt. 1804. ANASTASIA COOMES, b. 1732, Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. 1799. ANN COOMES, b. Abt. 1730, Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; m. ROBY STEWART, 1760. More About ROBY STEWART and ANN COOMES: Marriage: 1760 JOSEPH COOMES, b. Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. 1799. FRANCES IGNATIUS COOMES, b. 1726, Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. April 03, 1822, Fairfield, Nelson County, Kentucky. WALTER COOMES, b. Abt. 1718, Coomes Purchase, Charles County, Maryland; d. 1775. Notes on the above, by PNH: (1) The reference to "the plantation of Alexander Hamilton" has nothing to do with the future first Secretary of the Treasury; there really was a planter in the area with the same name, no relation. (2) Regarding the parentage of Elizabeth Wharton, the Jesse Wharton who served as deputy governor of Maryland did indeed serve in that position "until his death" -- for a whole five weeks, in June and July of 1676. He was appointed deputy governor on June 16, 1676, with de facto gubernatorial authority because the nominal governor, the son of the colony's recently-deceased proprietor, was an infant. Wharton died in office shortly thereafter, on July 27, 1676, twenty-three years before Elizabeth Wharton's stated birth date. Jesse Wharton left behind one son, Henry Wharton, by his wife Elizabeth Sewall, so it's conceivable that Henry could have been the father of Thomas Coomes's wife.
