[14169] Charles County Land Record Book O#3, 1765-1770; Page 607, Aug 3, 1769 from Robert Horner of CC, gent, to Richard Brown of St Mary's County, Clerk, Thomas John Claggett of Calvert County, Clerk, and Cuthbert Bullitt of Prince William County, Virginia. In May [blank day], 1758, at CC, for and in consideration of a marriage then shortly to be had between sd Robert Horner and Ann Clagett, daughter of Gustavus Brown, Gent, of CC, now decd, sd Horner, in consideration of the fortune he expected to receive with the sd Ann and for a provision for sd Ann and her issue which he should have by sd marriage, entered into the following contract and agreement with sd Gustavus Brown for the use of sd Ann, to wit, whereas a marriage is intended between sd Horner, merchant, and sd Ann Clagett, daughter of Doctor Gustavus Brown and widow of Samuel Clagett, late of CC, Clerk, & whereas before sd Ann married Mr. Clagett, an agreement was entered into between Mr. Clagett and Gustavus Brown, whereby a provision was made for the security of sd Ann and her issue, if any. That agreement was recorded in CC. Sd Gustavus and Robert, in order to secure sd Ann and her son, Samuel Clagett, agree that whatever money, goods, chattels, or lands may come to ad Robert in right of the child of sd Ann and Samuel Clagett, shall be delivered up and paid back by sd Horner to sd minor when he arrives to the age of 20 years. If Robert dies before sd child reaches sd age, then sd money, goods, chattels, and lands shall be paid for the use of sd child out of the estate of sd Horner. Whatever money or property comes to Horner as Ann's part of her late husband's personal estate, if Ann dies before i Robert, Ann may dispose of the same by making a will; if she doesn't make a will, it vests in Horner; if Robert dies before Ann, full value in money for her use, during her life. The marriage took place on May 11, 1758. Sd Robert has since received from the representatives of sd Ann's late husband, Samuel Clagett, in right of Ann and her son, Samuel, exclusive of 300 ? settled upon her by her sd contract with sd Samuel Clagett, 865 ?, which he has applied to his own use. Sd Gustavus Brown, by his will, devised to Ann, for her use and support, a legacy of 100 ?, which sd Robert has also received or is about to receive, to his own use. Ann has relinquished her right of dower in deeds entered into by Robert involving 3 tracts of land, and 16 acres which belonged to Robert, lying in CC. Ann hereby releases to Robert any claim she might have to Robert's own particular estate, saving her own particular fortune. Several of the Negroes herein after mentioned are under mortgage, as well as the other personal estate, for the security of several sums of money due to several persons. Now this deed witnesses that sd Robert Horner, for and in consideration of the marriage contract and all the afd premises and for 100 ? to Robert in hand paid by Richard Brown, Thomas John Claggett, and Cuthbert Bullet, has sold to sd Richard, Thomas, and Cuthbert, the following slaves, goods, and chattels, to wit, Quibus, yellow Jack, Leverpool, Adam, Peter, Moses, Rexum, Eolakie, Juda, Ben Sr, Ben Jr, old Jack, Samba, Hensey, Suckey, Phillis, Kate, Nell, yellow Charity, Nanny, Cloo, Mock, Pegg, Nancy, Moll, Black Charity, saran, Tom, and Jenny children of Nell, Harey, Jenny and Liza children of yellow Charity, Dick and Letty children of Black Charity Ledd Bett and Mock children of Phillis, Samara and Nell children of Mock Celia daughter to Pegg, Harry son of Nancy Isaac child of Henny, 1 quart with tankard, 1 large chaiste teapot, cream jug, silver and pint can of silver, 9 silver table spoons, 1 sil'v'er dividing spoon, 1 silver butter boat .. 12 plain China plates, 3 large hard mettle dishes, 12 water plates, 1 lot of hard metal dishes, 60 cattle, 1 bay stallion, 1 grey gelding, 1 bay gelding, 3 mares and colt, 1 sloop and 1 mahogany table and a riding chair. Sd Richard, Thomas, and Cuthbert shall sell and dispose of so many of the mortgaged slaves, goods, and chattels out of each mortgage, and not the one for the other unless at the request of Ann, as shall be sufficient to discharge the several encumbrances and mortgages upon the same, and then sell and dispose of the residue of sd slaves, goods, and chattels .. be sufficient to raise the afd sum of 865 ? out of which 565 ? shall be laid out in the purchase of lands, slaves, and other goods and chattels, to be vested in sd Richard, Thomas, and Cuthbert, in trust for the use and maintenance of Ann, during her natural life, free from the claim of Robert, and after the death of Ann, to such persons as Ann, in her will, shall direct, and for lack of such will, then to the use of Robert and such children as he may have by Ann, during the natural life of Robert, and after his death, to the use of sd children, to be equally divided between them. If the slaves and effects shall more than discharge the mortgages and raise the 865 ?, then Richard, Thomas, and Cuthbert shall only sell sufficient to -raise 865 ?, and reconvey the overplus to sd Horner. Signed Robt Horner. Wit - Zephaniah Nooe, Bennet Nooe, J Hawkins*. Recorded Aug 26, 1769.
[95] Ann, the youngest, came from a family of nine sisters, five of which married clergymen. Even after the sisters were married and well into their adulthood, they were known as "The Nine Miss Browns". Charles County Maryland Will Book AF-11, 1791-1801, {Abstract by Mike Marshall}; Page 597. Ann Hanson, Will, April 8, 1800; October 3, 1800 I, Ann Hanson of Fauquier County in the state of Virginia, though infirm in body, being of as sound judgment and understanding as in my ordinary health do make and ordain this my last will and testament Viz. To son Samuel Clagett, all that tract or parcel of land I bought of my son Gustavus Brown Horner, lying in Fauquier County and containing 300 acres. To son Samuel Clagett one other tract or parcel of land which I bought of a certain George Dodson containing 114 acres more or less and one adjoining to the before mentioned tract. I give the above mentioned lands to my son Samuel Clagett his heirs and assigns as an act of Justice because he sustained much loss by my second marriage. To grandson William Edmunds Horner, son of William Horner my house and lott of ground lying at Fauquier Court House with all its a appurtenances to him his heirs and assigns forever. Whereas my son Gustavus Brown Horner has given bond for a sum of money due to myself and children by Robert Horner, I give my share of the said bond both principal and interest to my son Gustavus Brown Horner and whereas I have a bond given by my son William Horner for a considerable sum of tobacco I give the said bond both principal and interest to my said son William Horner. To son John Horner, 50 pounds Virginia currency Understanding that Susannah W. Harris {wife of John A. Harris} grand-daughter of my late husband Samuel Hanson is needy, I give her sole use, and not under the control of her husband, the sum of 50 pounds current money of Maryland. I do this as a return for any expense my late husband Samuel Hanson may have been at on account of my children. To son Gustavus Brown Horner, my universal bible, and a large gold ring with a stone under which same of my sister Threlkelds heirs is set. To Ann Hanson, daughter of Col. Samuel Hanson of Georgetown, my silver shoe buckles set with stone and my gold sleeve buttons. To Mary Horner, wife of my son William, my suit of black satin To Frances Horner, wife of my son Gustavus Brown Horner, my black satin cloak and my laced head clothes. To granddaughters, Frances Horner, Elizabeth Horner and Catharine Horner a tambour muslin gown and all my remaining silk cloaths. To daughters of son Samuel Clagett, all my remaining cloaths. As I own no debts, I expect there will be money sufficient to pay off all the above mentioned legacies, but in case it should be found deficient, it is my will that such deficiency shall be made good out of the rents arising from the lands bequeathed by me to my son Samuel Clagett. To four sons, Samuel Clagett, Gustavus Brown Horner, John Horner, and William Horner, all the residue of my property. Executor: three sons, Samuel Clagett, Gustavus Brown Horner, and William Horner Signed: April 8, 1800 Ann Hanson Wit: Ann Ireland Brown, Gustavus R. Brown, Gustavus Brown Junr.
