| Hello to all you Marmaduke Mister descendants, family members and pirate aficionados out there!
If you attended the Mister Family Reunion a couple of years back at St. John’s Church in Chance, Maryland, you may remember Billy Mister’s outstanding presentation on our Mister ancestry. His narrative explored Marmaduke Mister (1660–1725), his son Marmaduke Mister (1722–1798) tory pirate, and other family members, tracing their connections to England, Accomack County, Virginia, Smith Island, Deal Island, Maryland, Delaware, and beyond.
We have added Billy Mister's written narrative (part 2), addendum if you will to the first part he wrote on his/our Mister ancestry to his credit on our website. It is quite the story and tale. We great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces and nephews who attended his and Aaron Horner's presentations were all astounded at the history narrative that was given and appreciate all Billy's and Aaron's hard work for sharing with us original islanders (myself included) some excellent and personal history of one of our ancestors and anyone who is fond of reading about one of the Chesapeake Bays most notable residents.
We also have Marmaduke Mister in our MENU under HISTORY where he is easy to find. (See link below)
