Additional Information

In IAS Book 4, the partition of the lands and other property of Edward Watts, Mary is listed among the enslaved individuals that were bequeathed to Edward Watts's daughter, Alice W. Morris. A value of $800.00 was placed on Mary.

In IAS Book 4, Mary appears to have been hired out to an enslaver whose name does not appear in the record. The record states "By cash received from D. Meyers hire of Mary 1862," She would have been hired for $40.00. There are multiple individuals named Mary in the record so it is possible that this could be another Mary who was enslaved by the Watts family, but the record does not specify.
