At the request of Sarah Douglass, wife of William Douglass, the following deed of gift was recorded on Jul 9, 1747.
I, Eliza Berryman of Westmoreland County, Virginia, widow, sometime since, purchased a Negro woman named Nann of Thos Hatton of CC, which Nann, since the time I bought her, has been delivered of a son named Henley and a daughter named Henny. Now know that I, for the natural love I have for my daughter Sarah, wife of Wm Douglass in CC, do give Nann and her children and the future children of Nanny their use and labor, to my sd daughter Sarah, during her natural life. And I grant to my grandson, Joseph Douglass, second son of my son-in-law, Wm Douglass, at the death of my daughter Sarah, sd Nann and her child Henny and their increase. Also, I give to my grandson, Benja. Douglass, eldest son of my son-in- law, Wm Douglass, sd Negro child Henley. If either sd Benjamin or Joseph dies underage and without issue, the slaves to go to the survivor; if neither survives, the slaves to go to the other children that may hereafter be born of my daughter Sarah, and in default of such children, to Catherine Berryman of Virginia, and to the issue of her body (if any), and in default of her issue, I give the slaves and their increase to my granddaughters, Eliza and Frances Foot of Virginian to be equally divided between them.
