• Notes

  A Thomas Harwood is mentioned on freeafricanamericans.com in the record transcripts for Prince George's Co. as being fined in 1730: "Thomas Harwood ... to keep Mary Wedge's Malatto child until March Court next in consideration of 400 pounds tobacco"; and "Thomas Harwood buys Mary Wedge's female Malatto child named Ann born the twenty ninth day of September last for one hundred pounds of tobacco." He appears several times more as well. Then, in 1736: "present Mary Wedge servt to Thomas Harwood for having a Malattoe Bastard," and "Lord Proprietary vs. Mary Wedge }Malatto Bastardy Convict by Confession ... cannot gainsay but that she is guilty ... be a servant for seven years ... child be a servant to thirty one ... sold unto Robert Perle for 2 pounds one shilling current money." This seems to be the end of the case. According to the introduction to the section of hte website on Maryland, "Mary Wedge of Prince George's County had at least five children between 1727 and 1738." Her relationship therefore seems to have been a long-standing one. She seems to have been a white woman. This is a fascinating website for the primary sources it collects. [5]
