- Fardinando Battee (and possibly Millicent) appear in Virginia records during the 1650s. It seems that he had lived there for a while before moving to Maryland.
"Essex "was patented by Lord Baltimore to Ferdinando Battee in 1664. It was passed down in the Battees from then until 1822. He also owned properties named "Kent" (patented 1673), "Suffolk" (pat. 1677), "Batty's Due" (survey dated1677--this property abuts "Essex"), and "Hopewell" (pat. 1666, in Herring Creek Hundred, St James Parish). When he wrote his will, he was apparently residing at "Essex." There is today a burying ground at Essex which tradition has it is the Battee burying ground.
On 18 June 1683, Ferdinando Battee appears as the Grantee of "Suffolk," 52 acres, in Anne Arundel Co.
