Person:Augustus Ambrose (1)

Notes for AUGUSTUS HEINRICH AMBROSE: His baptism appears on the records of the Muddy Creek Church in Lancaster Co., PA. There were apparently at least two men named "Henry Ambrose" in the Monocacy settlement. Henry was named as the son of Mathias when Mathias deeded part of "Arnold's Chance" to him in 1759. When Henry sold this property in 1761 his wife was listed as Mary Eve. Another Henry, also known as William Henry, was in the area at this time, as Henry and Sarah Ambrose had a child baptized at Apple's Church in 1770. (Henry and Sarah moved to Berkeley Co., VA, now WV.) This can hardly be a second marriage for Mathias' son Henry, as in 1771 when Henry sold his part of "Arnold's Delight" his wife appears on the record as Mary Eve. This would indicate that there was more than one Henry Ambrose. There is no record of any children for Henry and Mary Eve and no other records for Henry past the 1771 sale of "Arnold's Delight".
