- The Thomas Book says that this is the "Mary" who married Dr. William Lansdale; this is only a possibility. I assume that the following act pertains to her and her two children; her father's name matches.
AN ACT for the benefit of William Henry Lansdale and Thomas Reeder Lansdale, children of Mary Lansdale, of Saint-Mary's county. Passed January 5, 1805:
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly, by the petition of Mary Lansdale, of Saint-Mary's county, that her two children, William Henry Lansdale and Thomas Reeder Lansdale, are entitled, under the will of their uncle Thomas Reeder, to two small tracts or parcels of land lying in the county aforesaid, containing one hundred and fifty acres : And whereas, it is also represented, that the annual value of the said land, clear of the payment of an annuity to which it is subjected by the will of the late doctor Henry Reeder, deceased, grandfather to the said children, amounts but to the sum of three pounds ten shillings, and that great advantages would arise to the said children, in their future maintenance and education, from the pass.age of a law authorising the sale of the said two small tracts or parcels of land; therefore,
II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the orphans court of Saint-Mary's county shall have full power and authority, upon application of the said Mary Lansdale, and on the part of the said two children, and being satisfied that it is necessary, and will be of advantage to the said children, William Henry Lansdale and Thomas Reeder Lansdale, to order the sale of the said two tracts or parcels of land, upon such terms as the said court may think proper, and to appoint a trustee or trustees for the purpose of effecting such sale.
