    JOHN CHINOWETH OR CHENOWETH, the eldest son of the Immigrant of that name, was born in Maryland in 1706. He married Mary Smith in 1730, his name being given in the marriage record as "Chennerworth". His will, made In Frederick County, Virginia in 1770, mentions his wife Mary and nine Children, WILLIAM, John, Absolom, Thomas, Richard, Arthur, Elizabeth, Mary and Rachel. Evidently the second John removed to Virginia about 1762, when the lands were divided, since one of that name was granted two hundred and forty-eight acres of land in Frederick county in that year and three hundred and fourteen acres in 1764.
