Thomas Stansbury (Born April 24, 1714 in Baltimore; Died June 15, 1798 in Baltimore) and
Hannah Gorsuch (1712 or 1719 in Baltimore; Died September 11, 1800 in Baltimore, Maryland)We don't know much about Thomas' parents, other than that he was born in Baltimore in 1714. Hannah was born in Baltimore between 1712-1719 to Charles Gorsuch and ? Rogers. She had two brothers, William (1715 or 1719-1800) and John (1712 or 1714-1796).
Thomas and Hannah married on March 2, 1735 in Baltimore, where they lived the rest of their lives. They had 11 children, of which Sarah was the second child and oldest daughter. Children were: Charles (1736-?), Sarah (1738-1815), Hannah (1743-1798), Rachel (1746-1823), Luke (1749-1798), Jane (1750-1798), Benjamin (1752-?), John Dixon (1754-?), David (1757-?), Daniel (1759-?), and William (1761-?). All were born in Baltimore. Thomas died in 1798 at the age of 84, Hannah in 1800 between age 74-80.

Alexis Lemmon (Born 1716 in Ireland/England; Died May 30, 1786 in Baltimore, Maryland) and
Martha ? (Born before 1720, probably in Ireland; Died ?)We don't know much about Alexis' and Martha's parents except that Alexis was either Irish or English and Martha probably Irish. Since we don't know where they were married, they may have immigrated together or they may have met in the United States. They were married sometime before 1740, when John was born, and had six children, all born in Baltimore. Children were: John (1740-1811), Ruth (1742-?), Alexis (1746-1826), Hannah (abt. 1751-?), Eleanor (abt. 1757-?), and Moses (1759-1852). It appears that Alexis and Martha lived in Baltimore all of their remaining years, Alexis dying there when he was 70. We don't know when Martha died.

Bazaleel Foster (Born 1700 in Anne Arundel, Maryland; Died 1753 in Baltimore, Maryland) and
Mary Mead (Born August 17, 1709 in Anne Arundel, Maryland; Died sometime after 1760 in Baltimore, Maryland)Bazaleel was probably born before 1700 in Maryland to Thomas Foster and Elizabeth Stevens. It is unknown if he had any siblings. His parents emigrated from England sometime before Bazaleel's birth.
Mary was born in 1709 in Anne Arundel, Maryland to Benjamin Mead and Elizabeth Dawdridge when her parents were about 29 years old. She was the oldest of eight children, all born in either Anne Arundel or Baltimore.
