Person:Dinah Tracey (3)

Dinah was the Administrator of the Estate of John Wheeler. GeorgeHitchcock, her stepfather and 2nd husband to Mary James Tracy Hitchcock, her mother, was one of her sureties for the Administrative Bond for theEstate. Dinah married (1) John Wheeler Bef. July 06, 1725, in Baltimore Co, MD, She had two children by John Wheeler before he died. He died Bef. July 06, 1725 in Baltimore Co, MD She married (2) John Cross Bef. September 17, 1726 in Baltimore Co, MD, son of John Crosse. He died Bef. August 22, 1764 in Baltimore Co, MD Dinah received 1/3 of John Wheeler's estate, as did each of her two Wheeler children. On August 19, 1752, John Wheeler and wife Elizabeth joined John and Dinah Cross in conveying " Wheeler's Beginning " and " Cross' Chance " to Abraham Raven. Land had been surveyed 7C 1716 and 6F 1743 ( TR:D:408, Baltimore Co, MD). On March 20, 1769, bond was posted in the estateof John Wheeler by Elizabeth Wheeler with John Foster and Thomas Cullins. Deceased left children George, Ruth, Elizabeth, Mary and possiblyJohn and others. NOTE: Other sources have Dinah as; Dinah Lane, daughter of Dutton Lane and Dinah Boring born Abt. 1708 in Baltimore Co, MD Both agree she married John Wheeler and then John Cross.

Through the research of Ron Cofiell, we believe that Dinah married John Wheeler bef 1725 when she was named Administratrix for his estate.The placement of Dinah as his wife is based on circumstancial evidence. That is: George Hitchcock, her stepfather and 2nd husband to MaryJames Tracey Hitchcock, was one of her sureties for the AdminstrativeBond for John Wheeler's estate. Dinah received 1/3 of John Wheeler'sestate, as did each of the two children. Dinah had two children by John Wheeler before his death.
