- From the will of John Townsend “ I give and bequest to my son Daniel my wench Hannah to be sold to go towards paying the Legacies but she must choose her master. I do order that my Negro girl Ester to live and remain with my wife Susanna until she arrives to the age of twenty eight years old and then to be free to go where she pleases and my negro man Newport to live with my son Daniel and to be maintained by him when he is no longer to get his living”
