(3) 1753, 10 Aug: Capt. Nicholas Coxen, in the Ship Molly, arrived in Annapolis
with passengers Gov. Horatio Sharpe, Rev. Matthias Harris (his Lordship's
Chaplain), John Ridout (his Excellency's secretary), Daniel Wolstenholme
(merchant), and John Murdock. They had a long passage of almost 12 weeks.
(5) 1753: Emigrated to MD to serve the newly-appointed governor, Horatio
Sharpe, as his private secretary. (4) Secretary of Gov. Sharpe.
(1) Of Annapolis, MD. (5) Prior to his marriage, he lived in Governor Sharpe's
household.
(3) 1757, 17 May: John Ridout and Daniel Wostenholme set out for Fort Frederick
with a reward for the Cherokees for the scalps they had taken from the enemy.
(3) 1757, 24 May: Daniel Wostenholme, merchant, and John Ridout returned from
Fort Frederick.
(3) 1760, 3 Jan: "The Maryland Gazette" reported that John Ridout, Esq., Gov.
Sharpe's secretary, had been appointed Collector of his Majesty's Customs on
Patowmack, in place of William Deacon, dec'd.
(5) 1760-1776: Member of the Council.
(3) 1761, 23 Jun: Hon. John Ridout, Esq., was made Commissary General.
(5) 1762-1777: Naval Officer for Annapolis.
(5) 1764, 23 Feb: John Ridout bought lot 23 on Duke of Gloucester Street,
Annapolis, from Dr. Upston Scott for 100 pounds sterling. He began
construction of his own house on the lot. The house is one of Annapolis's
Georgian gems, featuring the all-header bond street facade, rubbed jack
arches, water table, stone foundation with galleting, and tall end chimneys
typical of the city's mid-century gentry homes. Its most distinctive feature
can only be seen from the garden: one of the earliest Palladian windows in MD.
Located on the 2nd floor, it projects through the cornice. By choosing to
build a large, brick Georgian home, he followed a pattern typical of the
city's wealthy young men. Nearly 2 dozen such homes were built in the 1760s
and 1770s.
(5) 1774: On a lot adjoining his house on 23 Duke of Gloucester Street,
Annapolis, he built a unit of 3 townhouses, constructed in the fashion of
English terrace housing to look from the street like a single house. Later
owners of 112 Duke of Gloucester St. moved the entrance door from its
location in the middle of the house to the right bay, giving it today a
federal look. He expected that his 3 tenements would be income-producing
rental properties, although her planned to hold the middle unit for the use
of his mother-in-law, who was at the time in England. But the Revolutionary
war caused an exodus of population from Annapolis, and it is unclear if he
ever derived the income he expected.
(5) 1774, Dec: Wrote to his mother-in-law that "I am now about to finish the
middle tenement in my new building."
(5) Although he signed the Oath of Fidelity, since he was an Englishman by
birth, his loyalty to the revolutionary cause was suspect. He moved his family
out of Annapolis and spent the Revolutionary years at Gov. Sharpe's
estate "Whitehall" and at their property in Frederick County. By remaining
outside Annapolis, the Ridouts avoided the scrutiny of the committees of
safety and correspondence and survived the Revolution without the confiscation
of any of their property.
(5) 1786, Jan: Wrote to Horatio Sharpe in England of his anxiety about a
proposed move of the state captial to Baltimore, which caused him "uneasiness
on account of my houses in this place & makes me regret that I ever built
them..." Even though the effort failed, Ridout feared that it "...will
probably be very detrimental to this town & deter persons who may have been
more inclined to purchase a house or to build there, from doing either..."
(4) Built a magnificant colonial residence upon a hill overlooking the
battlefield of the Severn. It was still held by his descendants of Annapolis in
1905. Capt. William Fuller, hero of the Severn, originally surveyed the "White
Hall" estate. It was sold by his son, Col. William Fuller of VA, to Col.
Nicholas Greenbury. This tract was in St. Margaret's Parish, Anne Arundel Co.,
MD, and descended to Col. Charles Greenbury, who left it to the church, which
sold it in 1764 to Gov. Horatio Sharpe of MD, a bachelor, and on his death was
was willed to his secretary, John Ridout of England. In 1905 it was owned by
the wife of Capt. Story, U.S.A. (5) John Ridout purchased "Whitehall" from
Horatio Sharpe.
(5) 1793: John Ridout wrote his will. Left his wife Mary 112 Duke of Gloucester
Street, "that house or tenement in Annapolis which is at present rented to &
occupied by her mother Mrs. Anne Ogle." Son Samuel received 114 Duke of
Gloucester St., "that house or tenement No.westward of & adjoining the last
mentioned house or tenement & now occupied by Mr. Tayloe." His younger son
Horatio was given 110 Duke of Gloucester St., "the house or tenement... which
is to s.eastward (of 112) being at this time in the occupation of Mr.
Latimer." The family dwelling, at 120 Duke of Gloucester St., "the house in Annapolis wherei n I have usually dwelt together with the Garden, Outhouse, &
yards thereto belonging" he left to his executors, Samuel, Horatio, and Mary,
"to be sold when they think proper."
(2) 1797: Sold to his mother-in-law Anne Tasker Ogle his house on Duke of
Gloucester St., Annapolis. (5) Upon John Ridout's death in 1797, the two sons
Samuel and Horatio sold Ridout House to their grandmother, Anne Ogle. She left
the house to Samuel by her will in 1810. Descendants of John Ridout still own
Ridout House (1995).
