  Notes	He graduated from the U of Maryland in 1829 in Medicine. Another biography, though, is this correct?: "M.D. University of Maryland, 1826; M.D. University of Pennsylvania, 1838. Of Prince George Co., Md." Both his mother's and his wife's names were Mary Waters. He was also the cousin (2nd cousin, once removed) of his wife Rachel--which means they have a common great-grandfather. From the 1830s, when Samuel Franklin drowned and left Essex to his four sisters, until 1851, Essex was owned partly by the sisters. During the 1850s, when Dr. Franklin Waters moved from Anne Arundel County, he gradually bought out the other heirs until he and Rachel Waters owned the entire farm. He is the man who built the original house at Essex in 1852. He built the core of the present house during 1852-53, and he moved there in 1853 from Prince George's County, near Holy Trinity Church. Living in his household in 1850 along with his wife and children are two of his wife's sisters and Mary Louisa Franklin, a cousin. The censuses from 1850 to 1900 show that Mary, Samuel, Olivia, Franklin, and Alice all stayed living together, all unmarried. In 1900, Samuel becomes the HOH, as the oldest male sibling. Mary dies before the 1910 census; then they are four. From then until 1934, when Aunt Jig the last daughter of Rachel Franklin died and passed it on to John Lansdale, it was owned by Waters. In 1870, there is a "Richard Waters" living with him, aged 61 (b. about 1809), "no occupation"; I don't know who this is. He is also there in 1880 as "Richard W" [that is, Richard W. Waters?], aged 71. His children are recorded in his family Bible. There is one name recorded there I cannot place: "Richard H. Waters died September 28th 189[?2], aged 85," which would make him born abt. 1808. [4, 5, 6, 7]
