Notes |
- One way I know of her is that she is mentioned in Franklin Waters acct. "Ledger B," fol. 34v.
Other names mentioned under are Lloyd and James; Willy, Alpheus, Barzilla, James (fol. 95v); James, "Barz.," "Rebec. Ann" (fol. 123v, for 1830);
Bushrod is mentioned on fol. 124 r; in January of 1831, "By your note of hand for the above amount in full of $188.75 which note I have assigned to Bushrod M. Marriott." This seems to mean that James' account has been paid by Bushrod. There is a line across the account between Sept. and Dec., at which point Dr. Waters starts the account over again at $0.00. It would imply that Bushrod was a brother, or uncle, or something like that?
Caleb and Charles also appear in the table of contents.
Clark contains a transcription of this document, which though she is named "Rachel Jones Marriott" is this Rachel:
Rachel Jones Marriott. Anne Arundel Co., Md., will, Liber J.G. 39, fol. 149, written 10 Aug. 1810, and probated 23 Dec. 1822. "I, Rachel Jones Marriott, wife of James H. Marriott, whereas my brother Richard Jones Waters, late of New Madrid, Upper Louisiana, died seized of land in Prince George's County, Anne Arundel County, land in Ohio, and 30,000 acres in the Territory of Luisiana, in State aforesaid, District of New Madrid, Cape Geredo [sic] now State of Missouri, I, in consequence of his death, am heir at law to one fifth of all lands in State of Maryland, and in sequence of a contract between heirs of said Richard Jones Waters and John Waters of Robert, only one sixth part of all lands of the western country, for reason above, and affection I bear unto my husband James H. Marriott, all of my fifth part of land in Maryland, and one-sixth part of land in the western country, and my part of house and lot in Louisville, Ky, or any other of my said brother." [4]
