another negro girl called "Nanny," "I will that the first girl that Nanny hath after the
date of these presents, shall be to my daughter Hannah Seaman, and she shall have it

my grand-daughter, Elizabeth Titus." "I leave to my son-in-law, Jeckomiah Scott, the

she or her value shall be divided among his four daughters." I leave to my daughter,
