1748 -

• Name	Anne "Aunt Nancy" BATTEE  [1]
  Born	December 29, 1747/8	Anne Arundel Co., Maryland
  Gender	Female
  Died	Anne Arundel Co., Maryland   [2]
  	S 170 seems to say that she died in 1788, but this can't be so if she helped to raise children after her daughter Mary's death in 1812.
  Notes	Her sister Elizabeth was the last Battee to own Essex Farm. According to Harris Franklin, "Ann, ‘Aunt Nancy,' is one of the most interesting members in the [Franklin] family. Mary [her oldest child] died early in life, leaving 4 young chldren & Elizabeth [her youngest son Thomas' first wife] also died young leaving 4 children - Aunt Nancy took it upon herself to raise them at ‘Oakland' - This was done with most loving care - Today [in the 1920s] at Oakland there still booms a rose planted by ‘Aunt Nancy' not later than 1819. & like the rose the memory of ‘Aunt Nancy' blooms in our heards for the self-sacrificing core & devotion shown those babys. But for her many of these pages would never have been needed. 8/13/1925, J.H.F." [3]
